about

The Byrdies have an instant rapport with birds of prey, songbirds and chickens. The Byrdies have brought plans for the tiny nightmare machines that any bird can learn to construct. Crows figured it out the quickest. At first the humans found it amusing but soon learned, the Byrdies had a devious plan of their own. If it worked on the cat, it would work on the humans!

lyrics

the owl believes he dines alone
he floats majestic not like a stone
watch them film birds of prey
I'm there for lunch, not much to say

though you are engaging and I like your voice
speaking nonsense fabulous
if you had more piercings and a hooded cloak
they might believe your little joke

the owl believes gorilla men
a black tie to strangle them
with the look of love
we are honour bound
whisper sweet nothings to grind them down

grind them, follow their words
they keep talking, having you on
tiny plans to gather like a nightmare machine

"Oh, it's the cat!"

fat and tame, fat and tame, fat and tame
tiny plans to gather
the out come is the same
watch the outcome is the same
they keep talking, having you on
tiny plans to capture like a nightmare tool
the outcome is the same
watch the outcome is the same
the puss he is fat and tame
tiny plans to gather like a nightmare machine
