Savage Garden

A Thousand Words

by Darren Hayes, Daniel Jones

We stumble in a tangled web,
decaying frienships almost dead
And hide behind a mask of lies
We twist and turn and we avoid,
all the hope of salvage now devoid
I see the truth inside your eyes
So take all this noise into your brain
and send it all back again
I'll bear the cost, shed my skin, call
you up and then...
I'll say the words out loud

You could resurrect a thousand
words to deceive me more and more
A thousand words will give the
reasons why I don't need
you any more

(in the lyric pages of the cd cover!)
Time manipulates your heart,
preconceptions torn apart
Begin to doubt my state of mind
But I won't go down on what I said
I won't retract convictions read
I may perplex but I'm not blind
So take all this noise into your brain
and send it back again
I'll bear the cost, shed my skin
call you up and then...
I'll say the words out loud.

You could resurrect a thousand
words to deceive me more and more
A thousand words will give the
reasons why I don't need
you any more

I'll say the words out loud
I'll say a thousand words or more

Manipulation. Fabrication.
Conversation. Annihilation
I'll say a thousand words or more
Domination.Frustration. Elevation.
Appropriation.
I'll say a thousand words or more

You could resurrect a thousand
words to deceive me more and more
A thousand words will give the
reasons why I don't need
you anymore
