Jes Perry: Music

• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)
• MP3 short clip, lo-fi play (modem)

Why you running so fast?
And why you always hide your head in the grass?
Where you going so far?
You don't even stop to look where you are
Don't you know, that it's just a show
A place to get lost in the crowd
And shout, you shout

Why you tell me these things?
When you don't even seem to know what you mean
You toss back and forth like a boat
You say you've learned your lessons now you're ready to float
Can't you see, that it's me
That you're shutting out when you scream
And shout, you shout

And clearing my head is a tedious task
I'm opening drawers see the boxes all packed
I'm throwing away all the things I can't use
But what am I gonna do with you?

I ask you why do you lie?
It doesn't suit your purpose using lame alibis
You pull yourself away from the truth
Reject what you don't want to know, then you ask me for proof
Can't you feel, the appeal
A clean room to start over silent and still
Where you can shout, you shout

Pull the pieces of your self out side and then draw them back in
Iron out the wrinkles in your soul and then put back on your skin
Make a new impression reinvent your self then tell me more lies
Crack the image smash the pieces, god, how you make me laugh…

And clearing my head is a tedious task
I'm opening drawers see the boxes all packed
I'm throwing away all the things I can't use
But what am I gonna do with you?

You give no clues what you're thinking about
You hide your secrets in the dark, buried deep bound up tight
You say you're living out all your deepest desires
You're such a coward you use reason then pretend to admire
Hear the call that befalls
All those that whisper in fear and refuse
To shout, you shout, you shout, you shout
