Making your way through the day
Every arrangement has been made
Forget to remember
To dress for the weather
Danger lives just up ahead
Walking through mind fields as you dance
Retracing your footsteps
Abandon your address
Sometimes I think it would feel so nice
If I could dumb myself down
Down
Dumb myself
Down
Dumb myself down
Comfortable in your own mess
Stepping outside to get some air
Like everyone ever
Alone and together
Sometimes I think it would be so nice
If I could dumb myself down
Down
Dumb myself
Down
Dumb myself
Don't stop listening
Don't stop listening
'Cause I'm coming to the point, I swear
Don't stop listening
Don't stop listening
'Cause I'm coming to the point
My lips said something profound
But the noise was so loud
The words get hard to pronounce
Next time it comes back around
In the absence of doubt
When I open my mouth
The words will finally come out
I can hear you now
I can hear you now
I can hear you now
I can hear you now
I can hear you now
I can hear you now
I can hear you now
I can hear you now
Down
Down
Dumb myself
Down
Down
