| [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 |
