Words Right Out Of My Mouth

(album: The Great Escape Artist - 2011)

There's birds up in the trees
my words they want to eat
they wait for me to speak
they swoop in and swallow them down

There's people on the ground
hungry for some beats to pound
don't need no bread
they just scream for a morsel of
sound!
more sound!

Out
right out
took the words
right out of my mouth

Then you came into the room
everybody was-bam!
she must be a rockette?
one said done and the others said
wow!
oh wow!

Out
right out
took the words
right out of my mouth

Then when I stared back
into your eyes
we had the same expression
complete surprise
and we're about to let it out
these words from my mouth

He said
wow!
oh wow!

Out
right out
took the words
right out of my mouth

There's birds up in the trees!
look-there's birds up in the trees!
