Lyrics

[00:00.000] 作词 : ORourke
[00:59.926] It's quite a gamble to speak out of place
[01:05.645] Those things could kill you but so could your face
[01:23.358] What occupies me pays a low rent
[01:29.112] Because fondness makes the heart grow absent
[01:34.700] These things I say might seem kinda cruel
[01:40.617] So here's something from my heart to you
[01:46.843] Looking at you reminds me of looking at the sun
[01:53.453] And how the blind are so damn lucky
[02:10.686] Those holes on your face could be used better ways
[02:16.916] Breathing's a distraction when you chatter away
[02:22.564] These things I say might seem to be lies
[02:28.419] To seem risque, or sensationalized
[02:34.327] And too many people can remember your name
[02:40.623] Always walking you down memory lame
[02:46.329] These things I say, may seem to offend
[02:51.902] But not half as much as I'd like to intend
[02:57.993] Cause listening to you reminds me of a motor's endless drone
[03:04.662] And how the deaf are so damn lucky
[03:22.093] I'd be happy if life came to a stall
[03:27.908] Then I wouldn't need my senses at all
[03:33.666] These things I say might seem out of line
[03:39.443] But day to day, I'm right every time
[03:45.960] Looking at you reminds me of looking at the sun
[03:54.914] Too long
[04:13.608] You'll find
[04:15.732] That in no time
[04:18.926] You'll be talking to yourself
[04:21.563] Along with everybody else
[04:24.678] Then you'll despise
[04:27.428] The look in their eyes
[04:30.586] It may be difficult to tell
[04:33.527] If you're looking at yourself
[04:48.456] And you look fine
[04:51.373] If you don't mind
[04:54.247] That empty look that's on your face
[04:57.342] A black hole that's out of place
[05:00.236] And out of time
[05:03.227] In a tight bind
[05:06.044] To find something smart to say
[05:08.942] When a silence comes your way
