My mama told me not to talk of voices in the sky So I grew wise She slips through the veil looking thin, looking pale Looking like me Oh I let them speak through me They locked me out They tied me down They locked me out They tied me down They locked me out They tied me down Shaking hands cast shadows longer than before The prickling of my fingers don't bother me no more Hate to deceive all the well-meaning boys Won't stop the lies cuz I can't stop the noise Can't stop, can't stop the noise Can't stop, can't stop the noise They locked me out They tied me down They locked me out They tied me down They locked me out They tied me down
