Some Took The Words Away Lyrics - Elvis Costello

Poor head 

Can hardly move my lips for speaking 

I said 

So, what is this thing I cannot explain? 

I'd blame all the things I feel but can't quite place 

Perhaps they're written on my face 

Someone took the words away 

Why don't you speak up and say what you mean? 

Summon my powers of conversation 

I talk to myself, 

I'm fine 

When you're around, 

Then I decline the invitation

It's strange to finally find myself so tongue-tied 

A change has come over me 

I'm powerless to express 

Every thing I know but cannot speak 

And if I try my voice will break 

Someone took the words away 

Someone took the words away
