Words that I force, sadly, back down my throat
They still follow, trailing after me
Words I spit out when the [bad word] takes me
There's no taking them back now, that I know

When I make the words in my mouth they taste like lies
When I let them form it just smears away the meaning
Not a single thing that I can make the way that I want
I know, I'm simply worthless...

I love you so, Vivi! And when [bad word] along
Bye-bye is what I'll say when I turn and walk away
Oh this sleepy little town, nearly ashes on the ground
I'll leave it all behind, even thoughts of you and I...

As I write down the letter I'd give to you
All these things [bad word] back to me
Even so, darling, as lovely as you are
Not a thing appeared on the page, not a word

Why does it always have to be this way with words?
Why do they twist and turn into heavy, leaden lies?
Why is it words fly away just like birds?
Why do they turn to dirt?

I love you so, Vivi! And when [bad word] along
The us we knew today, will have long since passed away
Just forget I said a thing, anything I said at all
There's not a single thing I need to tell you anymore...

Colours melting all in amber shades
balloon falls; flying away a caribou
There, a legless turkey cast in bronze
Dancing the night away a cheerful cuckoo

Noisy, restless, the news keeps going on
"Children from the town, they vanish one by one!"
Though I cry, I'll carry on singing
As a fish quietly watches me...

Even though my heart is hopeless beyond repair--
I'll go onwards; I'll walk along with you

I love you so, Vivi! And when [bad word] along
Bye-bye is what I'll say when I turn and walk away
Oh this sleepy little town, nearly ashes on the ground
I'll leave it all behind, even thoughts of you and I...

Oh, I let out all those words, and I finally felt your touch,
And yet despite all that, I said nothing at all
Oh, I love you so, Vivi
I love you so, Vivi
Say goodbye to me, Vivi, since that's all our [bad word] to
