[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
So turn the television off
And I will sing a song
And if you suddenly have the urge
You can sing along

[Verse 3]
I touch your hand, I touch your face
I think the fruit is rotten
Give me lessons on how to breathe
Because I think I`ve forgotten
I think I`ve forgotten

[Verse 4]
One day, out to a cliff
That overlooks the water
I jumped in to save a girl
It was somebody`s daughter
And now the ring that`s on my hand
It was given to me by her
And to this day we all sit around
And dream of ways to get higher
To get much higher


[Verse 5]
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
