| [00:00.85] |
Now I could sit here and baffle you |
| [00:02.97] |
With shallow babble |
| [00:04.48] |
And a bunch of punch lines |
| [00:06.32] |
You probably won't get |
| [00:07.83] |
Or even use some big words |
| [00:09.92] |
That you'd have to look up |
| [00:11.80] |
But I'm not a teacher |
| [00:13.27] |
So go ahead and close your book up |
| [00:15.31] |
I could tell a fairy tale so convincing |
| [00:17.63] |
And keep a straight face from beginning |
| [00:21.26] |
To happy ending |
| [00:22.70] |
I could waste 32 bars telling you how to live |
| [00:26.10] |
Knowing damn well I used |
| [00:27.58] |
Mtv cribs for the blueprint |
| [00:28.61] |
I could bore you to death |
| [00:31.21] |
With my past relationships |
| [00:32.39] |
Or a little ditty bout Jack and Dianne |
| [00:36.34] |
Or I could go back to childhood |
| [00:38.86] |
Dig up them skeletons |
| [00:40.77] |
And spit them at you with a catchy hook |
| [00:43.22] |
Look I could strike a nerve |
| [00:45.78] |
With some four letter words |
| [00:47.68] |
That'll make Richard Pryor proud |
| [00:49.61] |
Or better yet I could sing a |
| [00:51.70] |
Jingle that'll contort and mingle |
| [00:54.17] |
Every single solitary letter in the alphabet |
| [00:56.63] |
I could tell you whatever you want to hear |
| [00:59.92] |
But if I just said hello would you listen to me |
| [01:02.13] |
I could sell a blind man new ears |
| [01:03.71] |
If I just said hello would you listen to me |
| [01:05.60] |
I'm trying hard trying to make it perfectly clear |
| [01:07.17] |
But I'm dying because their |
| [01:08.13] |
Ain't nobody listening to me |
| [01:08.99] |
Been relying on myself on |
| [01:09.93] |
Myself for more than 22 years |
| [01:11.12] |
And I ain't crying I just need |
| [01:12.37] |
Someone to listen to me |
| [01:13.22] |
Can I get some reply get |
| [01:14.22] |
Maybe some kind of sign |
| [01:15.14] |
To let me know that you're listening to me |
| [01:16.78] |
Just from time to time I get lost in my mind |
| [01:18.67] |
Its hard to find someone to listen to me |
| [01:20.24] |
My ears were open when |
| [01:21.10] |
You needed some consoling |
| [01:21.73] |
I'm hoping till the sound you hear echoes |
| [01:22.99] |
Every time I say hello |
| [01:28.43] |
I could talk about my duds |
| [01:30.00] |
And my thrift store scores |
| [01:31.94] |
But that probably wouldn't interest you |
| [01:33.75] |
But why should it |
| [01:35.36] |
I mean I've seen a lot of sh*t in 22 years |
| [01:38.54] |
But your feet in my shoes |
| [01:40.38] |
Isn't something I recall |
| [01:42.21] |
And I've been known to drink 22 beers |
| [01:45.56] |
Before a show cuz |
| [01:46.97] |
Otherwise I probably wouldn't have the balls |
| [01:49.42] |
I could make references to books I never read |
| [01:53.10] |
For the sake of sounding conscious |
| [01:54.44] |
But that's just obnoxious |
| [01:56.89] |
I could take off these bandages and |
| [01:58.72] |
Expose these papercuts |
| [02:00.36] |
And put them in the air |
| [02:01.63] |
With both my middle fingers up |
| [02:03.71] |
Or talk about myself in third person |
| [02:05.81] |
Like I'm better than you |
| [02:07.24] |
Cuz there's nothing else better to do |
| [02:10.31] |
I could attack your character from |
| [02:12.63] |
Eighty different angles |
| [02:14.20] |
Cleverly explaining exactly how wack you are |
| [02:18.00] |
But why do that when it's a well known fact |
| [02:21.17] |
You buying this cd is potentially feeding me |
| [02:23.74] |
Come on |
| [02:25.43] |
I could tell you whatever |
| [02:26.40] |
You want to hear |
| [02:27.07] |
But if I just said hello |
| [02:27.92] |
Would you listen to me |
| [02:28.70] |
I could sell a blind man new ears |
| [02:29.91] |
If I just said hello would you listen to me |
| [02:31.57] |
I'm trying hard trying to |
| [02:32.52] |
Make it perfectly clear |
| [02:33.13] |
But I'm dying because their |
| [02:34.03] |
Ain't nobody listening to me |
| [02:34.99] |
Been relying on myself on |
| [02:36.07] |
Myself for more than 22 years |
| [02:37.05] |
And I ain't crying I just need |
| [02:38.34] |
Someone to listen to me |
| [02:39.35] |
Can I get some reply get |
| [02:40.34] |
Maybe some kind of sign |
| [02:41.18] |
To let me know that you're listening to me |
| [02:42.63] |
Just from time to time I get lost in my mind |
| [02:44.34] |
Its hard to find someone to listen to me |
| [02:45.76] |
My ears were open when |
| [02:46.69] |
You needed some consoling |
| [02:47.37] |
I'm hoping till the sound you hear echoes |
| [02:48.74] |
Every time I say hello |
| [03:19.22] |
Hello is there anybody out there |
| [03:26.11] |
Hello is there anybody out there |
| [03:33.40] |
Hello is there anybody out there |
| [03:40.49] |
Hello is there anybody out there |
| [03:47.55] |
Hello is there anybody out there |
