The blue light flashes
|
Billy feels its motion
|
He says, "Should I go and set it free?"
|
Black-eyed Suzie
|
Picks up on the notion
|
She says, "Put it in the lonely tree"
|
He says, "Baby, we best sharpen our imagination."
|
He says, "It seems like the rest
|
don't comprehend the situation." I don't hear you
|
All the words that come and go
|
Don't say what I'm after
|
I don't hear you
|
Scream it through a microphone
|
Whisper in a deadly tone...
|
Don't hear you not you Jane's a dancer
|
In quiet desperation
|
She says: "What I give I give for free"
|
Her twin sister
|
Feels the same sensation
|
But says, "You must buy it all from me..."
|
She says, "oh, I feel best
|
When the rest is all uncertain."
|
She says, "Thoughts in my breast
|
Just hang there like a burning curtain" I don't hear you
|
You don't matter, you don't care
|
I don't call that living
|
I don't hear you
|
What you say don't reach inside
|
It is like you're gagged and tied
|
I don't hear you He said, "Go with the flow
|
Though the currents can bring danger"
|
"You didn't know
|
You were dancing with a desperate stranger" I don't hear you
|
I've been dealing With deaf ears
|
I don't need no laughter
|
I don't hear you
|
It ain't hard to analyze
|
I know what you're really after
|
I can't hear you
|
