[Verse 1]
Bad bit and ten
White stick with a red light
Floats past her on the right
White stick on the rock
Roping in the wind
Are you hungry?
[Verse 2]
Do you know what to eat
Floating in the blue
I hear you your voice
It comes out above my head
Close to you
Close to you (Repeats, echoing)
[Verse 3]
There is one bird in my house
She said you woke up from a dream
He heard Mama Cass
He felt better if I would
Have known those things
It damped his mood for a second
Then he remembered where he was
He regained his perspective
And felt a lot better
[Verse 4]
It gets much better
He laid down on his bed
With the front door open
And the sunlight
Flooding into the room
He smelt thyme
He laid back listening to a fly
[Verse 5]
He saw her washing hanging
In the sun
He caught a fleeting
Glimpse of a man
Moving uphill
Pursued by a bus
He saw a white church with a
Three blue dome roof
A crucifix on the top
And an ant walked
Along the edge of his book
He heard another bell
And a braying moustache
And a mop that started up
It sounded like a chainsaw
Of tiny firecrackers
And he smelt thyme again
A fly came in
Along the shaft of sunlight
Coming through the open door
He watched it cross the room
And get halfway then it
Turned around and left, he laughed
[Chorus]
There is one bird in my house
There is one bird in my house
There is one bird in my house
There is one bird in my house
[Verse 5]
He saw her washing hanging
In the sun
He caught a fleeting
Glimpse of a man
Moving uphill
Pursued by a bus
He saw a white church with a
Three blue dome roof
A crucifix on the top
And an ant walked
Along the edge of his book
He heard another bell
And a braying moustache
And a mop that started up
It sounded like a chainsaw
Of tiny firecrackers
And he smelt thyme again
A fly came in
Along the shaft of sunlight
Coming through the open door
He watched it cross the room
And get halfway then it
Turned around and left, he laughed
[Chorus]
There is one bird in my house
There is one bird in my house
There is one bird in my house
There is one bird in my house
There is one bird in my house
There is one bird in my house
