Tell me your stories, write down your secrets, And play this music as loud as can be. Get me a sandwich, buy me some hot tea, And sing this song as loud as can be. Teach me poker, dance with me slowly. And play this music as loud as can be. Open the window, draw down the curtains And sing this song as loud as can be. I live all deadly like a cartoon Maybe I can see myself in you Yes, I want to see myself in you. Oh it is all great No it's not. Yes, it is all great. It happens to everyone. If you think about it, it starts out at a younger age. Tell me your stories, write down your secrets, And play this music as loud as can be. Get me a sandwich, buy me some hot tea, And sing this song as loud as can be. Teach me poker, dance with me slowly. And play this music as loud as can be. Open the window, draw down the curtains And sing this song as loud as can be. Jumping in the pool, swimming in the cold I ain't gonna swim at the speed of sound I ain't gonna climb the walls, no no. It would take more than a day to change. It would take more than a thousand pens and papers to let go, to grow, so much crap. Tell me a story, write down a secret, Buy me a sandwich, get me some hot tea, Speak in your language, turn off the t.v., Make me a drawing, ..... Send me a postcard, write me a letter And sing this song as loud as you can be I'm a black eyed raccoon working from the moon I look back and all I did was blank Not there never there It was all dream of gray fantasy To much hope tricking me Draw the smiles on my face Draw your face on my face I miss you Tell me your stories, write down your secrets, And play this music as loud as can be. Buy me a sandwich, get me some hot tea, And sing this song as loud as can be. Teach me poker, dance with me slowly. And play this music as loud as can be. Open the window, draw down the curtains And sing this song as loud as can be And sing this song as loud as can be And sing this song as loud as can be
