Words Lyrics by Missing Persons

Spring Session M

1982

Do you hear me?
Do you care?
Do you hear me?
Do you care?

My lips are moving, and the sound's 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 the feeling at the end of a page
When you realize you don't know what you just read

What are words for when no one listens anymore?
What are words for when no one listens?
What are words for when no one listens? It's no use talkin' at all

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?
What are words for when no one listens? It's no use talkin’ at all

Do you hear me?
Do you care?
Do you hear me?
Do you care?

Let me get by
Over your dead body
Hope to see you soon
When will I know?
Doors three feet wide with no locks open
Walking always backwards in the faces of strangers
Time could be my friend
But it's less than nowhere now
It’s less than nowhere now
It’s less than nowhere now
Nowhere now
Ow ow ow...

Pursue it 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 distraction
Someone answer me before I pull out the plug

What are words for when no one listens anymore?
What are words for when no one listens?
What are words for when no one listens? It's no use talkin’ at all

What are words for when no one listens anymore?
What are words for when no one listens?
What are words for when no one listens? It's no use talkin’ at all

Do you hear me?
Do you care?
Do you hear me?
Do you care?
Tell me what are words for
Do you hear me?
Tell me what are words for
Do you care?
Tell me what are words for
Do you hear me?
So tell me what are words for
Do you care?
So tell me what are words for
Do you hear me?
So tell me what are words for
Do you care?
So tell me what are words for
Do you hear me?
Tell me what are words for
Do you care?
So tell me what are words for
Do you hear me?
