Sign Language

(album: Don't Mind If I Do - 1999)

I'm not hungry
I eat
When I'm tired
I can't sleep
When I'm nervous
I speak
It seems the only thing to do
In the morning
I rise
Wipe the dream from my eyes
Contemplate your demise
There's just no getting through
Always dream, don't apologize
Life is sweet
never close your eyes
The truth it seems
must have passed you by
At least a million times
Gimme a sign
gimme a reason to be here
I'm leading the blind
when will you make your motives clear
Gimme a sign
After all this time why can't we get it right?
So you made me
a creep
I'm not losing any sleep
Cause my scars are much too deep
Don't start getting precious on me
In the morning
I rise
While your life is
paralyzed
In the sweet smell of disguise
There's just no getting through to you
Always dream, don't apologize
Hey life is sweet
never close your eyes
The truth it seems
must have passed you by
At least a million times
Gimme a sign
gimme a reason to be here
I'm out of my mind
so shallow and always insincere
Gimme a sign
After all this time why can't we get it right?
Gimme, gimme, gimme a sign
After all this time why can't we get it right?
Another drive by love affair
Why don't you tell someone who cares
If you care
Gimme a sign
gimme a reason to be here
I'm out of my mind
when will you make your motives clear
Gimme a sign
After all this time why can't we get it right
After all this love why can't we get it right
Let's get it right
