If you're stuck for something to write about
Don't forget the dead bird
Your short story wasn't bad
But it didn't have the dead bird

When something's going to happen
You need something good to happen
Just call on the dead bird
Just describe the dead bird
Oh, the dead bird

Sometimes the dead bird
Looks like something else
It's a caravan on a mountain edge
Or a ghost at the end of the bed

When something's going to happen
You need something good to happen
Just call on the dead bird
Just describe the dead bird
Oh, the dead bird
