Oh 00:00

You burden me with your questions 00:13
You'd have me tell no lies 00:15
You're always asking what it's all about 00:18
But don't listen to my replies 00:20
You say to me I don't talk enough 00:22
But when I do I'm a fool 00:25
These times I've spent, I've realized 00:27
I'm going to shoot through and leave you 00:29

Pushing down the relative, bringing out your higher self 01:39
Think of the fine times, pushing down the better few 01:41

Lyrics:

[English]

Oh

What?

What... was that?

You burden me with your questions

You'd have me tell no lies

You're always asking what it's all about

But don't listen to my replies

You say to me I don't talk enough

But when I do I'm a fool

These times I've spent, I've realized

I'm going to shoot through and leave you

The things you say

Your purple prose just give you away

The things you say

You're unbelievable (oh)

(What the...)

(What the... was that?)

You burden me with your problems

By telling me more than mine

I'm always so concerned

With the way you say you always have to stop

To think of us being one

Is more than I ever know

But this time, I realize

I'm going to shoot through and leave you

The things you say

Your purple prose just give you away

The things you say

You're unbelievable (oh)

(What the...)

(One)

(What the...)

(One)

(What the)

(One)

(What the... was that?)

Seemingly lastless, don't mean you can ask us

Pushing down the relative, bringing out your higher self

Think of the fine times, pushing down the better few

Instead of bringing out the clues to

What the world and everything you answer to

Brace yourself with the greatest of ease

I know this world ain't what it seems

You burden me with your questions

You'd have me tell no lies

You're always asking what it's all about

But don't listen to my replies

You say to me I don't talk enough

But when I do I'm a fool

These times I've spent, I've realized

I'm going to shoot through and leave you

The things you say

Your purple prose just give you away

The things you say

In thought I love you more

The things you say

Your purple prose just give you away

The things you say

You're unbelievable (oh)

(What the...)

(One)

(What the...)

You're so unbelievable (one)

(What the...)

(One)

(What the...)

You're unbelievable

It's unbelievable (oh)

(What the...)

(One)

(What the...)

(One)

(What the)

(What the... was that?)

You're unbelievable
