Guided by Voices - Deaf Ears lyrics

?? wash and wait

A human sanitation aid

And I will starve to death

Until you feed me

With your tenderness

Greet me with your

Slimy hands

You beckon me with open arms

You offer salvation

And I salivate

But it's too late

And you're a dollar short

And that's too bad

Cause what you got

I wish I had

I seek to ??

But you get mad

Chorus: My final words

Have fallen upon deaf ears

My last few words

Have fallen upon deaf ears

repeat chorus twice

(Another Version)

-----------------------------

This to wash away

Give us our protection day

And I will starve to death

Before you see me

With your tenderness

Greet me

With your slimy kiss

Beckon me with open arms

Your salvation

And I salivate

But it's too late

I gotta show (?)

but that's too bad

'Cuz what you got

I wish I had

You seem to know that you been bad (?)

My father was ???

My nasty words ???
