I heard a story It's too hard to mention I heard a thing once I can't even say I had a moment Of doubtful suspension But it's almost forgotten It's been pulled away
CHORUS By too many hands Touching where I stand And I can't fall Because you'll try and catch me Never let me go You don't think I know I've heard it all And so you'll never scratch my skin
I heard a boy say It's all my invention A fictional statement It's all in my head All I can tell you My only pretension Was in thinking you listened To me when I said
CHORUS
I've heard your paltering and your lies And it won't go away when I close my eyes Do you think of me when I'm no where near When you shut your mouth tell me what you hear I've heard it all I've heard it all I've heard it
Somebody called me A paranoid angel From on the other Side of the wall You might be special But it's too late to change now 'Cause it isn't the first time I've heard it all For too many years To relieve my fears So I'm advising you To get away and fast If it's my mistake Then the blame I'll take You're not the first And you won't be the last
