.too much patiencE .no resistancE .within shouting distancE .you can hear a blind mans blufF .dragging names through the mud instead of biting his tonguE .the devils in the air and I'm spitting out prayerS .while the rubbernecks all get their filL .tell me, tell me a storY .tell me not to worry ,or pick up the phonE .so im turning ,turning a deaf eaR .so that I don't hear them throwing stoneS .too much hogwasH .not enough hearsaY .always made the front pagE .you could use a fine tooth comB .to get a word from the wisE .would be a welcome surprisE .keep an ear to the grounD .so to drown out the sound .cuz the dead air is what made me wholE .tell me, tell me a storY .tell me not to worry ,or pick up the phonE .so im turning ,turning a deaf eaR .so that I don't hear them throwing stones .these walls dont talK .even when somebody knockS .these walls don't stanD .for anyone else but themselveS .these walls dont falL .even when gravity's failing us alL .tell me, tell me a storY .tell me not to worry ,or pick up the phonE .so im turning ,turning a deaf eaR .so that I don't hear them throwing stoneS #lyricpostinG
