too much of nothing made me get uptight
and i get FISTS ON MY SHY NERVES?
and say it''s THIS THAT YOU DESERVE?
do you wanna live in a soft shell
OR KNUCKLE UNDER THE HARD SELL?
when your arms start creeping thru
when you''re ashamed of what you''re trying to do

dead air
don''t let it be spoken
a record''s broken,
skipping to the words that hang in this
dead air
and you never say nothing
dead air between you and me

i''ve been suffocating all night
too much of nothing made me get uptight
you''re in a rut with your dumb ones
it TAKES NO GUTS TO BE DON JUAN
to go around brooding and tight
when you got no reason for brooding
you''ve become completely sick
you don''t give a s***
you just wanna forget

dead air
don''t let it be spoken
a record''s broken,
skipping to the words that hang in this
dead air
and you never say nothing
dead air between you and me

i''ve been brooding all night
i got no reason for brooding
i don''t know what i''m doing
i keep trying to speak out loud

dead air
dead air between you and me
