Rent Strike - Vaguely Threatening Signs Lyrics

When you speak you are casting a spell
And the things that you say to yourself
There is power in words so be choosin em well
Yes, when you speak, you are casting a spell
And you see it in signs, everyday signs
But you never can tell the moment a sign starts to speak for itself
And I know it's a fallacy
To think there's nothing to say
While they're cursing you silently
And it's staring me right in the face
That when you speak, you are casting a spell
And you see that reflected in everyday signs

I could howl at the moon in a dream
And you'd say it's a sign, and you know what it means
But it's out of your reach
You'll get only so close with the power of speech
And you'd say its a fantasy that you'd try to deny
While claiming your mastery over the body and over the mind
But when you speak, you are risking it all
There is always a power beyond you involved

So hit me with that frigidaire
I'll get sick and I won't even care
I feel my heart getting heavy n harder
As time keeps on passing me by

When you speak, you are casting a spell
Cos there's always a piece that you're saying in signs
Well, the word is alive
And you see there's a threat inside everyday signs
