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 my 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 it's simpel message

Could not be denied

I turned seventeen

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 got 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 seventeen

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
