Tell your friends not to think aloud
 Until they swallow
 Whisper things into my brain
 Your voice sounds so hollow
 I am not a leader of men
 Since I prefer to follow
 Do you think I could have a drink
 Since it's so hard to swallow
 So hard to swallow

 So turn the television off
 and I will sing a song
 And if you suddenly have the urge
 You can sing along

 I touch your hand, I touch your face
 I think the [bad word] is rotten
 Give me lessons on how to breathe
 'cause I think I've forgotten
 I think I've forgotten

 One day, up to a cliff
 That overlooks the water
 I jumped in to save a girl
 It was somebody's daughter
 And now the ring that's on my hand
 It was given to me by her
 And to this day we all sit around
 And dream of ways to get higher
 To get much higher
