Words are spoken, swallowed in vain   Slowly, IÂ'm choking   I cough it up, cough it up, cough it up again   Familiar, familiar   Laughing, laughing at the man who   Never had a chance to dream your dreams   Find it funny here today, you know   But, if by tomorrow, you might wonder then   Why your seeds are weeds   Familiar, familiar   Familiar, is it familiar?   *Open up - ThereÂ's a river in us all   Open up - From the cradle where we crawl   Open up - ItÂ's so unusual   Open up - Cause sitting on the wall   EverybodyÂ's got to Fall   Oh, show me, show me a reason   A reason for, anything I see   Round and round and round and round, we go   What happened to my brother?   Will his flowers wither? Just like me, yeah   Familiar, familiar   Familiar, is it familiar?   *chorus   I am no preacher, I know no teachings   Sway my mind, dear with your primal screechings   Buried under, your plastic cover   You are me, and I am you   *chorus
