The Bird That Follows Me Lyrics

There's that bird that follows me
Singin' from the branch of a dying tree
I walk through the city in my bare feet
The devil put the barracuda spirit into me

And I run, run right out the window
Oh I believe in death (hey!) 'cause death has always won the last hand

I walk through the love with my heart on my sleeve
Rattlesnakes slithering around my feet
I spend my days looking up from my knees
And one day Jesus Christ won't you follow me?

And I run, run right out the window
Well believe in death (hey!) 'cause death has always won the last hand
Oh and I run, run right out the window
Oh I believe in death (hey!) 'cause death has always been a good friend

Oh the birds they sing a song for me
Oh the birds they sing a song for me

But I believe in death (hey!) 'cause death has always won the last hand
Oh I believe in death (hey!) 'cause death has always been a good friend
Oh I believe in death 'cause death has always won the last hand
Well I believe in death 'cause death has always been a good friend
Well I believe in death 'cause death has always won the last hand

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
