Over your shoulder, please don?t mind me   If my eyes have fallen onto your magazine   Oh, I?ve been watching and wondering   Why your face is changing with every line you read      For all those lines and circles to me a mystery   Eve pulled down the apple and gave a taste to me   If she could it would be wonderful   But my pride is in the way   I cannot read to save my life   I?m so ashamed to say      I live in silence, afraid to speak   Of my life of darkness because I cannot read      For all those lines and circles to me a mystery   Eve pulled down the apple and gave a taste to me   If she could it would be wonderful   Then I wouldn?t need someone else?s eyes   To see what?s in front of me   No one guiding me      It makes me humble to be so green   At what every kid can do when he learns A to Z      For all those lines and circles just frighten me   And I fear that I?ll be trampled if you don?t reach for me   Before I run I?ll have to take a fall   And when I pick myself up so slowly   I?ll devour every one of those   Books in the tower of knowledge
