Bird Without a Tail / Base of My Skull
There was a man with a double deed
Sowed his garden full of seed
When the seed began to grow
Was like a garden full of snow
When the snow began to melt
Was like a ship without a belt
When the ship began to sail
Was like a bird without a tail
When the bird began to fly
Like an eagle in the sky
When the sky began to roar
Was like a lion at my door
When my door began to crack
Was like a stick across my back
When my back began to smart
Was like a penknife in my heart
When my heart began to bleed
Was death, and death indeed
When my heart began to bleed
Was death, and death indeed
Sowed his garden full of seed
When the seed began to grow
Was like a garden full of snow
When the snow began to melt
Was like a ship without a belt
When the ship began to sail
Was like a bird without a tail
When the bird began to fly
Like an eagle in the sky
When the sky began to roar
Was like a lion at my door
When my door began to crack
Was like a stick across my back
When my back began to smart
Was like a penknife in my heart
When my heart began to bleed
Was death, and death indeed
When my heart began to bleed
Was death, and death indeed
