speak those words
go ahead
speak them loud
shout them from the roof
just don't expect me
to listen to you
since they're mine you
stole away
massage them
into
a slightly new form
polish them
to shine
like evening stars
it won't matter
a lick to me
pretend they're yours
strut them about
but we both know
the truth
don't
just don't
expect me to listen
when you're up there
on the roof
go ahead
speak them loud
shout them from the roof
just don't expect me
to listen to you
since they're mine you
stole away
massage them
into
a slightly new form
polish them
to shine
like evening stars
it won't matter
a lick to me
pretend they're yours
strut them about
but we both know
the truth
don't
just don't
expect me to listen
when you're up there
on the roof
One take: a follow up to/inspired by Olivia's "Why Are You So Quiet" which I and others related to so well! This "Stolen Words" follows up on her #6: "You repeated my joke to the group a little louder...and this time they laughed." Happens to me a lot!
Thank You. Olivia, you really captured something!
