Bird Without a Tail/Base of My Skull Songtext
von Wilco

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
