Say what you want to hear! - And hold me up as you wish
Want me to be more clear? - You're always on your island
In the middle of nowhere, standing getting wet in the rain
If you're giving up, I guess I'm gonna do the same
I know what you want me to do! - You want me to shut my mouth
I know what I'm getting into
But there's a better way, that I want you to know
There's a better life, that you ought to be shown
I'm not trying to put you down! - I'm just trying to dig in your head
To find out where it all went wrong - When they told you that you would be dead
They didn't ever know - that we could make it so
They thought they knew for sure - where they were gonna go
You'll never hear my voice - if you don't make your mind up!
You'll never stay alive - If you just let it go
If you just let it go, or you throw it away
Then my head will hang down when I stand by your grave
If you just let it come, or you're somebody's slave
Then you know that you don't have a thing to your name
If you're all on your own, then you can't even pray
'Cause you don't know the words to the words that he gave
"I'm just thankful I'm still big enough to scare away someone - And small enough in the morning to hide from the sun - But tough enough secretly to get the job done" - "Dead Bees and Bee Stings" Postman
