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