I hear every note
I feel every beat
Your emotional shellshock
Brings me to tears
But what are you saying?

Please articulate!
You feed my heart
Candy and ice cream
While my mind starves
Dying in its sleep

International Pop
Means never having to give it a thought
All the happy dance songs
Dissolve in tepid water
And I just don't want to play anymore
