Tell your friends not to think aloud Until they swallow Whisper things into my brain Your voice sounds so hollow I am not a leader of men Since I prefer to follow Do you think I could have a drink Since it's so hard to swallow So hard to swallow So turn the television off And I will sing a song And if you suddenly have the urge You can sing along I touch your hand, I touch your face I think the fruit is rotten Give me lessons on how to breath 'Cause I think I've forgotten I think I've forgotten One day, up to a cliff That overlooked the water I jumped in to save a girl It was somebody's daughter And now the ring is on my hand It was given to me by her To this day we all sit around And dream of ways to get higher To get much higher
