Sticky Little Words

Writing's too slow, talking's too fast
Lately, real low lies at last
Oh, dear, my dear, get in all your licks
I'll string my words, something will stick

Sticky little words, they heal and they hurt
They never really work, they feed the birds
That's it, I guess, they might make you laugh
They might make you mad, but they won't bring you back
They won't bring you back

Oh, dear, my dear, there's so much to say
If you plug your lil' ears, I'll fade away
Sorry's too slow to stop this crash
And leave me alone was just too fast

Sticky little words, they heal and they hurt
They never really work, they feed the birds
That's it, that's that, they might make you laugh
They might make you mad, but they won't bring you back
They won't bring you back
