Words, words, you used words

To express a meaning too bizarre for me

Words, words, you used words

To express a meaning too bizarre for me

 

I’ll have to call you mad, or face the fact that I’m mad

Or everyone is mad and that would be mad

 

Words, words you used words

To express a mind too alien for me

Words words, you used words

That disturbed my sense of reality

I was unconfident I was jealous I was shy

I was unconfident, I was jealous, insecure

 

“Hey you! You talk too much – you’re defective”

“Hey you! You talk too little – you’re defective”

 

Words words, only words Words imprison, but words can be released

More words, only words Words imprison, but words can be released

 

I was unconfident I was jealous I was shy

I was unconfident, I was jealous, insecure

I will be what I want to be, confident, friendly, secure

I will be what I want to be, confident, friendly, secure.
