Tell me your stories, write down your secrets,
And play this music as loud as can be
Get me a sandwich, buy me some hot tea,
And sing this song as loud as can be
Teach me poker, dance with me slowly
And play this music as loud as can be
Open the window, draw down the curtains
And sing this song as loud as can be
I live all deadly like a cartoon
Maybe I can see myself in you
Yes, I want to see myself in you
Oh it is all great
No it's not
Yes, it is all great
It happens to everyone
If you think about it, it starts out at a younger age
Tell me your stories, write down your secrets,
And play this music as loud as can be
Get me a sandwich, buy me some hot tea,
And sing this song as loud as can be
Teach me poker, dance with me slowly
And play this music as loud as can be
Open the window, draw down the curtains
And sing this song as loud as can be
Jumping in the pool, swimming in the cold
I ain't gonna swim at the speed of sound
I ain't gonna climb the walls, no no
It would take more than a day to change
It would take more than a thousand pens and papers
To let go, to grow, so much crap
Tell me a story, write down a secret,
Buy me a sandwich, get me some hot tea,
Speak in your language, turn off the tv,
Make me a drawing,
Send me a postcard, write me a letter
And sing this song as loud as you can be
I'm a black eyed raccoon working from the moon
I look back and all I did was blank
Not there never there
It was all dream of gray fantasy
To much hope tricking me
Draw the smiles on my face
Draw your face on my face
I miss you

Tell me your stories, write down your secrets,
And play this music as loud as can be
Buy me a sandwich, get me some hot tea,
And sing this song as loud as can be
Teach me poker, dance with me slowly
And play this music as loud as can be
Open the window, draw down the curtains
And sing this song as loud as can be (x3)
