[00:13.100] |
I break the silence with my voice |
[00:18.586] |
And everyone turns 'round |
[00:21.224] |
To see the source of all the noise |
[00:25.535] |
And here I stand |
[00:28.016] |
It's not as though I mean to upset you |
[00:31.543] |
With the things I say and do |
[00:35.148] |
I should know better, but I said so anyway |
[00:41.835] |
It's easier to play a part |
[00:46.250] |
And read your lines |
[00:48.966] |
Than freely speak what's in your heart |
[00:52.545] |
And in your mind |
[00:54.217] |
Is it me |
[00:55.863] |
Who says these things that so offend you |
[00:59.415] |
Inappropriate and loud |
[01:02.994] |
I'd say I'm sorry, but it's |
[01:05.711] |
Hard to speak with both feet in my mouth |
[01:10.021] |
All hail the king of dunces |
[01:12.686] |
You best hold on |
[01:14.096] |
I'm opening up my mouth |
[01:17.100] |
Bring out the maypole |
[01:19.686] |
And tie me up and shut me out |
[01:23.892] |
Devil knows what possessed me |
[01:26.609] |
To shoot my arrow straight into the sky |
[01:30.658] |
String me to the mast and |
[01:34.028] |
Hoist me up and hang me high |
[01:38.155] |
I put no blame on you |
[01:41.708] |
I brought this all upon myself |
[01:45.260] |
It's just this thing I do |
[01:47.794] |
At times like this |
[01:49.597] |
I wish I was someone else |
[02:05.714] |
There's a lever inside my head |
[02:10.024] |
Between my mouth and my brain |
[02:13.342] |
Keeps me from hearing what I've said |
[02:16.947] |
'Til it's too late |
[02:18.697] |
Now it's too late |
[02:20.291] |
Smear my lips with Vaseline |
[02:23.974] |
Because I'm a vocal libertine |
[02:27.344] |
I try explaining but then |
[02:30.034] |
Even I'm not quite sure what I mean |
[02:34.397] |
All hail the king of dunces |
[02:37.113] |
You best hold on |
[02:38.602] |
I'm opening up my mouth |
[02:41.476] |
Bring out the maypole |
[02:44.036] |
And tie me up and shut me out |
[02:48.268] |
Devil knows what possessed me |
[02:51.167] |
To shoot my arrow straight into the sky |
[02:55.164] |
String me to the mast and |
[02:58.246] |
Hoist me up and hang me high |
[03:02.504] |
I put no blame on you |
[03:05.848] |
I brought this all upon myself |
[03:09.584] |
It's just this thing I do |
[03:12.457] |
At times like this |
[03:13.815] |
I wish I was someone else |
[03:30.534] |
I don't know what to say |
[03:33.930] |
I was only trying to make you smile |
[03:37.717] |
And bring some needed levity |
[03:41.375] |
To your world for a while |
[03:44.849] |
I never meant to make you cry |
[03:48.036] |
But I did it all by myself |
[03:51.824] |
It's just this thing I do |
[03:54.410] |
At times like this |
[03:56.055] |
I wish I was someone else |
[03:59.138] |
All hail the king of dunces |
[04:01.724] |
You best hold on |
[04:03.187] |
I'm opening up my mouth |
[04:06.348] |
Bring out the maypole |
[04:08.646] |
And tie me up and shut me out |
[04:13.009] |
Devil knows what possessed me |
[04:15.700] |
To shoot my arrow straight into the sky |
[04:19.670] |
String me to the mast and |
[04:23.040] |
Hoist me up and hang me high |
[04:27.115] |
All hail the king of fools |
[04:29.884] |
This boy's been bad |
[04:31.530] |
Let's keep him after school |
[04:33.828] |
Send me to the blackboard |
[04:36.937] |
And write a hundred times "I am the dunce" |
[04:41.091] |
Devil knows what possessed me |
[04:43.781] |
To shut my mind and open up my mouth |
[04:48.222] |
String me to the anchor |
[04:50.834] |
And watch me drown in myself |
