Sticks and Stones

歌詞

When day peaks it's head from the blanket And the numbers blur on the clock He gets up and says, "it's time to shine again" And even when the clouds shout in thunder He tries his best to yell back and slap from slumber They're just numbers, they're just words They're just symbols, and they hurt They're just sticks and stones buried in the earth They're just numbers, they're just words They're just symbols, and they hurt They're just sticks and stones buried in the earth They're just sticks and stones But they break our bones They're just sticks, sticks and stones While the oysters ate sand and makes pearls It plants a speck of doubt All I can make is sound And how am I to take a speck of something fake and spit one cent into doubt And how am I to feel when they stay in their shell til it's time to spit the masterpiece out of their mouth? When night peaks her head from the coffin And spreads her wings to hush the sun She gets up and says, "it's time to fly again" And even when the stars shine bright She blinds even the keenest eye While the oysters ate sand and makes pearls It plants a speck of doubt All I can make is sound And how am I to take a speck of something fake and spit one cent into doubt And how am I to feel when they stay in their shell til it's time to spit the masterpiece out of their mouth? It's just sticks and stones, sticks and stones But they broke our bones It's just sticks and stones, sticks and stones But they broke our bones And it'll end like it started
