Who Would Want To Hear What I Have To Say? Songtext
von the Microphones

Who would want to hear what I have to say
When everyone can see that my mouth is young?
My voice is smooth and sometimes shaky
Who could trust a body like mine to have seen
Into the depth of blue, between the clouds, past the soil, And to have imagined how warm the core?
To have felt the ghost past by me, close?
How could a face staring so blankly and wearing such skin,
Have excavated ore from any depths,
Or appeared into any distance knowingly?


But my body holds songs!
My clear eyes see the shimmering flesh
And oh, the depth of my appetite!
So if you come to my place,
I′ll invite you in and you can blindfold yourself
Into your house, swiftly I move
And you'll smell, with your nose, what I cooked for you,
And I′ll describe with my own mouth what I've seen
