The Lovin' Spoonful - Words lyrics

Words aren't falling in line like they should Words aren't meaning the things that they could Twin scattered whispers on ears made of wood She cannot hear me so my words are no good Words used to be a way to get through Words aren't meaning the way they used to Think I said that before My heart like a bird that can no longer fly In a cage made of words and I cannot say why Rose-colored phrases have turned into lies The longer you're lonely the longer you die I don't know why I even try She never hears me She never hears me No use in talkin' bout words known by heart The sound drowns in static, the words fall apart They die in the air or still born and unknown The seed never lands so our love never grows Words used to be a way to get through Words aren't meaning the way they used to Think I said that before I don't know why I even try She never hears me She never hears me Words used to be a way to get through Words aren't meaning the way they used to Think I said that before
