You speak to me
In sign language
As I'm eating a sandwich
In a small cafe
At a
But I can't respond
To your sign language.
You're taking advantage,
Bringing me down.
Can't you make any sound?

'Twas there by the bakery
Surrounded by fakery
Tell her my story
Still I'm still there.
Does she know I still care?

Link Wray was playin'
On a jukebox I was payin'
For the words I was sayin'
So misunderstood
He didn't do me no good.

You speak to me
In sign language
As I'm eating a sandwich
In a small cafe
At a
But I can't respond
To your sign language.
You're taking advantage,
Bringing me down.
Can't you make any sound?
