tell your friends not to think out loud
until they swallow
where's the thing to my brain
you always sound so hollow
i am not a leader of men
since i prefer to follow
do you think i could every drink
since it's so hard to swallow
yeah, so hard to swallow

till you're dead, the vision aloft
and i will say that's all
and if you suddenly have the urge
you can sing along
i touch your hand, touch your face
i think the fruit is rotten
give me glasses, i have to breathe
cuz i think i've forgotten
yeah, think i've forgotten

one drink after class
that overlooks the water
i am dreamin seaman's girl
it was somebody's daughter
now the rain thats on my head
was given to me by her
and to this dream we all sing aloud
and dream of ways to get higher
yeah, to get much higher

tell your friends not to think out loud
until they swallow
where's the thing to my brain
you always sound so hollow
i am not a leader of men
since i prefer to follow
do you think i could every drink
since it's so hard to swallow
yeah, so hard to swallow
