The Echoing Green - Words lyrics

Words...

My lips are moving and the sound is coming out

The words are audible but I have my doubts

That you realize what has been said

You look at me as if you're in a daze

It's like th efeeling at the end of the page

When you realize you don't know what you've just read

I might as well go up and talk to a wall

'Cause all the words are having no effect at all

It's a funny thing...am I all alone?

Something has to happen to change the direction

What little filters through is giving you the wrong impression...

It's a sorry state

I say to myself...

What are words for

When no one listens anymore?

What are words for

When no one listens there's no use talking at all

Pursue it any further and another thing you'll find

Not only are they deaf and dumb

They could be going blind

No one notices...I think I'll dye my hair blue

Media overload bombarding you with action

It's getting near impossible to cause a distraction

Someone answer me...before I pull out the plug

Do you hear me?

Do you care?

Tell me what are words for?
