If I tell you what I really want

You'd just say shut up

You don't really wanna hear it no

I try to be resolute
You reduce it down to cute

I tell you you're a coward
You say I'm a prostitute
When the mascara's dry

I know you've got something to hide

Can't you just say it say it say it
Say it one time

Speak your mind

Ooooh say it say it say it
I would show up as someone else

What's it like when you're yourself

I'd tell you what I want
But I keep it kind of cryptic
I'm a zoetrope cyber on the tip of a trip
They tell you what you want

Tell you what I need
But I'd hate you if you miss it
I'd like to take a stranger's face in my hands
And kiss the taste of nowhere to hide

Yeah the taste of nowhere to hide

Oh just say it say it say it say it one time

Speak your mind

Oooh say it say it say it
Here comes the breakdown

It's a life where there's no one round

Say it say it say it
What's going on here

I swear you'll disappear if you don't
Say it say it say it
Take it down now to the core

Or speak no more

You're just a cheap lout

You're just an escape route

But you know you know you know
What makes you try again

What's the matter with you

Were their tunes you wanna do
You won't let anyone get near

Is it the critics you fear

Blast them all and cut off your ear
And keep it all in your head

When you're dead no one else can hear

Nothing you write will ever match this

You should go back to that actress

Or the days you lived on a mattress
When everything was new

Cursed and make a gift to the universe

You wanna go and you'll see me at the show

Say what you mean
Say it say it say it

Say what you mean
Say it say it say it
Say what you mean
Say it say it say it

Say what you mean
Say it say it say it

Say what you mean
Say it say it say it

Say what you mean
Say it say it say it

Say what you mean
Say it say it say it
