Deaf Ears Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This too, wash away
On human sanitation day
And I will starve to death
Until you feed me
With your tenderness
Greet me
With your slimy hands

[Verse 2]
You beckon me with open arms
You offer salvation and I salivate
But it's too late
You're a dollar short and that's too bad
'Cause what you got I wish I had
I seek to know, then you get mad

[Chorus]
My final words have fallen upon deaf ears
My last few words have fallen upon deaf ears
My final words have fallen upon deaf ears
My last few words have fallen upon deaf ears
My final words have fallen upon deaf ears
My last few words have fallen upon deaf ears...

Genius Annotation

An early version of this song was recorded in 1989 and considered for the 1990 album Same Place the Fly Got Smashed, but was ultimately left unreleased until its inclusion on Suitcase in 2000.

This recording of the song from 1995 was considered for some early versions of the album that would become Under the Bushes Under the Stars, though it would eventually be released not on the album but as a b-side to “The Official Ironmen Rally Song”.
