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 breathe

Cause I think I've forgotten

I think I've forgotten

One day, up to a cliff

That overlooks 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

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
