Your tongue is black with fireflies
But you spit them out and pretend you're sneezing
And every word is such a joke
With so many pasts you'd be ninety years old
Don't you wonder why the room keeps on leaving
Hey, Hey - what's that I heard you say
Don't think that I would never need it
Hey Hey - what's that I heard you say
Don't think that I would ever believe it
It's just a thought and nothing more
That all your thoughts and moves are taught
And memorised each night before your sleeping
And every word is such a joke
Strung form neon masts flying flags you hope
Will win you friends and give your life some meaning
Hey, Hey - what's that I heard you say
Don't think that I would ever need it
Hey, Hey - what's that I heard you say
Don't think that I would ever believe it
You told so many lies
Your tongue is stained with Alibis
You've been around the world and found it pleasing
And every word is such a joke
With so many pasts you'd be a hundred years old
Don't you wonder why the room keeps on leaving
Hey, Hey - what's that I heard you say
You told so many lies Your tongue is black with fireflies But you spit them out and pretend you're sneezing And every word is such a joke With so many pasts you'd be ninety years old Don't you wonder why the room keeps on leaving Hey, Hey - what's that I heard you say Don't think that I would never need it Hey Hey - what's that I heard you say Don't think that I would ever believe it It's just a thought and nothing more That all your thoughts and moves are taught And memorised each night before your sleeping And every word is such a joke Strung form neon masts flying flags you hope Will win you friends and give your life some meaning Hey, Hey - what's that I heard you say Don't think that I would ever need it Hey, Hey - what's that I heard you say Don't think that I would ever believe it You told so many lies Your tongue is stained with Alibis You've been around the world and found it pleasing And every word is such a joke With so many pasts you'd be a hundred years old Don't you wonder why the room keeps on leaving Hey, Hey - what's that I heard you say Explain Request ×
