It Was a Strange Time in My Life |
| The Spanish girl pointed at me and said «silencio» |
| Making a little gesture as if switching off a radio |
| Sliding her fingers 'cross her lips as if shutting a zipper |
| I clearly got the message, I didn’t need to ask her |
| Making the reverse zipper 'cross my lips, opening for conversation |
| Signaling the international sign of reckless contemplation |
| Shrugging her shoulders and lifting up the hand that rested on her thigh |
| Her middle finger extended until its simple message could not be denied |
| I turned 17 and I swore to never speak a word again |
| But then someone came along and ruined everything |
| It was a strange time in my life |
| People seem to think a shy personality equals gifted |
| But if they would get to know one I’m sure that idea would have shifted |
| Most shy people I know are extremely boring |
| Either that or they are miserable from all the shit they’ve been storing |
| I turned 17 and I swore to never speak a word again |
| But then someone came along and ruined everything |
| It was a strange time in my life |
| I had a good time at the party when everyone had left |
| I flirted with a girl in sign language 'cause she was deaf |
| It was a strange time in my life |
| It was a strange time in my life |
