Say, say what you want,
Cos I, I can't read your mind,
Please, please teach me telepathy
I can't get to sleep,
My thoughts are my enemies,
They sing to me
A carousel song
Revolving around my head,
With what you said

I'm so tired but so awake,
Solutions come but much too late
Say, say what you want,
Cos I, I can't read your mind,
Please, please teach me telepathy

I'd die for your sins,
We both cry in sympathy
With our cruelty,
And nobody wins,
But I lose more expertly,
So you turn and flee
The saints come marching in,
I sing myself to sleep again

Say, say what you want,
Cos I, I can't read your mind,
Please, please teach me telepathy
I can't get to sleep, my songbird captivity,
Oh sing to me!
