The Language

[Clean Instruments] [Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] No one taught me the language I just listened and did what they did Watched it on a screen or in a book Looked up the meanings Hoped I did things right [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] Until one day I found a bright place Way up high behind the moon Didn't make sense to me until I started moving And there were no rules But I heard this sound [Chorus] They were saying "Blah blah blah" And the hounds will sing "Da da da" So that's all you'll hear from me, Singing hopeless melodies. I'll keep singing "La la la" Dreams of flying far, far, far So that's all you'll hear from me, Singing hopeless melodies. [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Tried to make a phrase on my tongue It's our home (It's your home) to all but me (not all but me) And I know I'll be (and I know I'll be) In empty rooms in many more years [Chorus] They were saying "Blah blah blah" And the hounds will sing "Da da da" So that's all you'll hear from me, Singing hopeless melodies. I'll keep singing "La la la" Dreams of flying far, far, far So that's all you'll hear from me, Singing hopeless melodies. [Instrumental Break] [Outro] Guess the rules as I go and wear what they wear Mimic a local or treat it as you dare Someone else's fiction I know Is my life But it's not what I do Don't wanna stay through the night [End]
