[Verse 1]
Son, you've got a way to fall
They'll tell you where to go
But they won't know
Son, you'd better take it all
They'll tell you what they know
But they won't show
[Chorus]
Oh, I've got something in my throat
I need to be alone
While I suffer
[Verse 2]
Son, you've got a ways to kill
They're picking on you still
But they don't know
Son, you'd better wait to shine
They'll tell you what is yours
But they'll take mine
[Chorus]
Oh, I've got something in my throat
I need to be alone
While I suffer
Oh, there's a hole inside my boat
I need to stay afloat
For the summer long
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Oh (Left my sweet soul)
I've got something in my throat (Beneath the bedclothes)
I need to be alone (I'm not coming down)
While I suffer
Oh (Walls have ears)
There's a hole inside my boat (But no one hears)
I need to stay afloat (When nobody's around)
For the summer
[Outro]
Son, you'd better wait to fall
They'll tell you where to go
But they won't know
