《Constantly Overheard》歌词

[00:00:18] You can repeat it as often as you like

[00:00:25] The story won't ring true

[00:00:28] You've been inventing a cocktail of confections

[00:00:35] No one believes but you

[00:00:38] Contradictory fictions together form a track：

[00:00:45] Once the words have been spoken they're out

[00:00:49] And you can't take them back

[00:00:59] Opinions you've ventured adrift upon the wind

[00:01:05] No council is kept your own

[00:01:09] As quiet as you whisper your thoughts can't be preserved

[00:01:16] For one person's ears alone

[00:01:19] There's always an eavesdropping multitude in on your words

[00:01:30] You always were

[00:01:38] Overheard

[00:01:51] Nothing's secret now

[00:01:59] Nothing's safe and sound

[00:02:06] Nothing's private

[00:02:09] You didn't mean it to come out as it did

[00:02:16] But the narrative still escaped

[00:02:20] Benign indiscretions and confidences spilled

[00:02:27] They've got them all down on tape

[00:02:30] And sooner or later they'll hold you to account

[00:02:38] I hear you've been spouting

[00:02:41] All kinds of poppycock

[00:02:45] To any prepared to hear

[00:02:52] Better be careful

[00:02:55] Don't speak so loud or so clear

[00:03:05] Remember whatever you say can't be unsaid

[00:03:12] Not once it's tripped off the tongue

[00:03:16] A flippant aside might in later light be taken

[00:03:23] As proof of a smoking gun

[00:03:27] And so here's a maxim for life you'd do well to observe

[00:03:39] Choose your words

[00:03:45] As if you were constantly overheard
