14 Birds
by Derek Scefonas
14 birds and a raggedy man
are driving in a panel van
they got murder on the mind
cause someone left them
behind
and things just aren't what they seem
these birds have some kind of gleam
in their eye
and the raggedy man
well he used to be a nice guy
but somehow they all got murder on the mind
they drive all night on the street
the birds singing
tweet tweet tweet
and the raggedy mans got both feet on the gas
and the raggedy man screams AT LAST
cause they all got murder on their mind
He slams on the brakes
and the 14 birds fly out
looking for eyes to rake
Fast and silent
like bats on the wing
they rip into this hitchhiker
like nightmares do a dream
and when they're done
there's not much left
just a faded smile
and something to keep the vultures
for a while
14 birds and a raggedy man
drive away in a panel van
