What If Birds Aren't Singing They're Screaming - Aldous Harding

What if birds aren’t singing they’re screaming

I got high, I thought I saw an angel

But he was just a ghost

He was making wooden posts out of my family

What if birds aren’t singing they’re screaming

What if birds aren’t singing they’re screaming

What if my moon gets caught up in my waning

Trapped under a sky left blacker than the eyes of my visitors

What if birds aren’t singing they’re screaming

What if birds aren’t singing they’re screaming

I got high, I thought I saw an angel

But it was just a ghost heaving under his cloak

What if birds aren’t singing they’re screaming

What if birds aren’t singing they’re screaming
