Tell your friends not to think out loud until they swallow
G5 D5 E5
Whisper things into my brain, you always sound so hollow
G5 D5 E5
I am not a leader of men, since I pefer to follow
G5 D5 E5
Do you think I could have a drink, since it's so hard to swallow
G5 A5 E5
Yeah, so hard to swallow
 
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, touch your face, I think the food is rotten
You give me lessons on how to breathe, cause I think I've forgotten
Yeah, I think I've forgotten
 
Ooh one day I took a glimpse that overlooked the water
I jumped in to save a girl, who was somebody's daughter
Now a ring is on my hand, was given to me by her
To this day we all sit around and dream of ways to get higher
Yeah get much higher
 
Repeat first verse
