Tongue Behind My Teeth
The Staves
I know where you're going
And I see where you've been
Patience is a virtue
And mine with you is wearing thin
It's easy to sit and wait
Speak the words you've stolen
From better men than you
Doors they helped you open
In time will cease to let you through
Is it easy to stand and sigh?
Bid another friend goodbye
Ohh ohh ohh (x4)
Lights can shine too bright dear
So nobody can see
Hide safe behind your light dear
But understand it won't blind me
And I know it would do no good
But I'd hurt you if I could
(Ohh ohh ohh)
See my eyes
(Ohh ohh ohh)
Open wide
(Ohh ohh ohh)
Speak up now
(Ohh ohh ohh)
Hold your peace forever and be damned
Eyes down, door closed
Keep quiet
Growing old
I know you, I see you
Cling to the road you ride on
Homeless, more or less
Skin and bone, on your own
I'll be alright
I'm doing fine
Keep my tongue behind my teeth
And get gone
You never were anyone
Keep your words, keep your mind
I'll keep my tongue behind my teeth
Tongue behind my teeth
And I know it would do no good
But I'd hurt if I could
Ohh ohh ohh
