| Am | |
| Little birds born without a mother or a father |
| I can watch their bodies forming in the running water |
| G | |
| Now there is another in the middle of my mouth |
| Em | |
| A hundred altogether within me now |
| Am | |
| Little bird, little bird come into my body |
| Am | |
| Mother, they're within me every moment I'm awaking |
| Bodies multiplying 'til they finally overtake me |
| G | |
| Open up my mouth but all you'll ever hear is singing |
| Em | |
| Put you hand within me and you'll know what I'm feeling |
| Am | |
| I just want to swallow up and promise to protect them |
| Am | |
| Daddy come to touch me but he seen his hands a shaking |
| Look into my eyes and he could see their bodies breaking |
| G | |
| Push me to the floor and in his hands I started beating |
| Em | |
| I don't want to hear it anymore, he kept repeating |
| Am | |
| Do you really want the burning hell that we believe in? |
| Am | |
| Did you know the burning hell it took your baby brother? |
| Did you see how far he fell and how he made us suffer? |
| G | |
| Another boy in town at night he took him for his lover |
| Em | |
| And | deep in sin they held each other |
| Am | |
| So I took a hammer and nearly beat his little brains in |
| Knowing God in heaven would have, never could forgive him |
| G | Em | |
| So I took a hammer and I nearly beat his brains | in |
| Am | |
| Little boy born without a father or a mother |
| Am | |
| Taken to the river and then pushed into the water |
| G | |
| And the priests are singing that the hell is getting hotter la la la la la |
| Am | |
| Father, Son and Holy Ghost, the only one to save him |
| From the thing he loves the most but we know will betray him |
| Father, Son and Holy Ghost, the only one to save him |
| G | |
| From the thing he loves the most but we know will betray | him |
| Am | G | |
| And here beneath the | water I can see |
| Em | Am | |
| How the | lights distort so | strange |
| G | Em | |
| And I think this is how I | would like to leave my | body |
| Am | |
| And start | again |
