elvis costello - someone took the words away

poor head
can hardly move my lips for speaking
i said
so, what is this thing i cannot explain?
id blame all the things i feel but cant quite place
perhaps theyre written on my face
someone took the words away

why dont you speak up and say what you mean?
summon my powers of conversation
i talk to myself,
im fine
when youre around,
then i decline the invitation

its strange to finally find myself so tongue-tied
a change has come over me
im powerless to express
every thing i know but cannot speak
and if i try my voice will break
someone took the words away
someone took the words away
