If I had the choice, I wouldn't raise my voice
I would be normal, but extraordinary
I don't want to say, the things I have to say
Yeah, I don't wanna say things ordinary
This may put a smile upon my face
Time and time again
Reach into my mouth, rip out my tongue
There's my only friend
Now I cannot talk
These words are only thoughts
Taken down from my head to paper
Written down for the band and also me
We'll rehearse it and play it later
This may put a smile upon my face
Time and time again
Without words I'm lost for things to say
Want back my best friend, yeah
Barnicles and stripes, barnicles and stripes
Barnicles and stripes, barnicles and stripes
Barnicles and stripes, barnicles and stripes
Barnicles and stripes, barnicles and stripes
These two words are normal, but extraordinary
Together mean nothing, like tugboats and hairy
This may put a smile upon my face
Time and time again
Reach into my throat pull out my tongue
There's my only friend
Hear me, hear me
Hear me, hear me
Hear me, hear me
Barnicles and stripes, barnicles and stripes
Barnicles and stripes, barnicles and stripes
Barnicles and stripes, barnicles and stripes
Barnicles and stripes, barnicles and stripes
