Sleepin' Bird

Words & music by Herman Brood

He took off with the Wild Keys
In the early morning grey
Riding the desert for a million miles a day
And there ain’t no barricades no more
Between the mountains and the very floor
Dark spot as he quizzed the neighborhood
Leaving it all in a shadow of blood

Chorus
He was never seen 
He was never heard
Passing by like a 
Sleepin’ bird

He took his time
As he shot him through the head
Before he hit the ground the boy was cold and dead
One day someone is gonna plead against your name
He won’t mark if you win or lose or how you play the game
One day someone is gonna plead against your style
So uptight he just can’t take away your smile.

Chorus 2 x’s
He was never seen 
He was never heard
Passing by like a 
Sleepin’ bird

Heart beat’s fading pressure’s going down
Skin gets red eyes start popping round

Chorus 2 x’s 
He was never seen 
He was never heard
Passing by like a 
Sleepin’ bird
