Yes & No

Something has to come out
Is it words? Is it not?
Must it come from my mouth?

Is it pen?
Is it blood?
Is it ink?
Must it be what I think?

It's my guts,
It's my all that I am
I can tell one more story
For score and then and then
Once upon an old time,
And then do it again
And then do it again

Let your 'no' be 'no'
And your 'yes' be 'yes'
My 'no' means 'no',
My 'yes' means 'yes'
Yes, yes, yes
Yes
Yes...

Something has to come out
Is it words? Is it not?
Must it come from my mouth?

I must speak,
I must move,
I must sing,
It's a compulsive thing

Is it fear?
Is it deep down beneath?
I have something to say
Some trash amongst the golden things
Here's a diamond for you
An alluminum ring,
Alluminum darling

Let your 'no' be 'no'
And your 'yes' be 'yes'
My 'no' means 'no',
My 'yes' means 'yes'
Yes, yes, yes
Yes
Yes...

And so the story goes
Bite down until it hurts
In a jaw lock fashion
Diamonds out of dirt
And so the story goes
The truth will be told
There's a comb in my mouth,
I cannot be the only one, no, no, no

Let your 'no' be 'no'
And your 'yes' be 'yes'
My 'no' means 'no',
My 'yes' means 'yes'
Yes, yes, yes
Yes
Yes...

So the story goes
Bite down until it hurts
In a jaw lock fashion
Diamonds out of dirt.
And so the story goes -
The truth will be told
There is a coal in my mouth
This volcano is going to blow - I can't handle the pressure
Darling, I can't handle the pressure.
Darling, I can't handle the pressure...
Yes...
Yes, it hurts
Yes, it hurts
