Words Lyrics - The Echoing Green

Words... 

My lips are moving and the sound is coming out 

The words are audible but I have my doubts 

That you realize what has been said 

You look at me as if you're in a daze 

It's like th efeeling at the end of the page 

When you realize you don't know what you've just read 

I might as well go up and talk to a wall 

'Cause all the words are having no effect at all 

It's a funny thing...am I all alone? 

Something has to happen to change the direction 

What little filters through is giving you the wrong impression... 

It's a sorry state 

I say to myself... 

What are words for 

When no one listens anymore? 

What are words for 

When no one listens there's no use talking at all 

Pursue it any further and another thing you'll find 

Not only are they deaf and dumb 

They could be going blind 

No one notices...I think I'll dye my hair blue 

Media overload bombarding you with action 

It's getting near impossible to cause a distraction 

Someone answer me...before I pull out the plug 

Do you hear me? 

Do you care? 

Tell me what are words for?
