Tell your friends not to think out loud   Until they swallow   Whisper things into my brain   Your voice sounds so hollow      I am not a leader of men   Since I prefer to follow   Do you think I could have a drink?   Since it's so hard to swallow   Yeah, so hard to swallow      Turn your television off   And I will sing a song   And if you suddenly have the urge   You can sing along      I touch your hand, touch your face   I think the fruit is rotten   Give me lessons on how to breathe   'Cause I think I've forgotten   Yeah, think I've forgotten      Ooh, one day out to a cliff   That overlooks the water   I jumped in to save a girl   It was somebody's daughter      And now the ring that's on my hand   Was given to me by her   And to this day we all sit around   And dream of ways to get higher   Yeah, to get much higher      Ooh, tell your friends not to think out loud   Until they swallow   Whisper things into my brain   Your voice sounds so hollow, yeah      I am not a leader of men   Since I prefer to follow   Do you think I could have a drink?   Since it's so hard to swallow   Yeah, so hard to swallow
