Lyrics
La La La, I Can?t Hear You
This is what I saw on a cold day in early March:
A boy about twelve waist-deep in the pond in the park.
And I don?t know if he was talking to the
People or the birds,
But with his hands over his ears he spoke these words:
La la la, I can?t hear you,
La la la, La la la, I can?t hear you.
A father and a business man made his way to Stanley Park,
Walked to the water with a briefcase and a heavy heart.
And maybe he?d already blown it off,
But at least he took his socks off, when he
Tried to swim to the other side of it all...., sayin?
La la la, I can?t hear you,
La la la, La la la, I can?t hear you.
La la la, I can?t hear you,
La la la, La la la, I can?t hear you.
Yeah, wash it all away.
Yeah, wash it all away.
With the temperature risin?,
The only exit lies in
Cool, cool water....
This is what I did on a cold day in early March:
I took off my clothes and jumped in the ocean in Tofino Park.
And I don?t know if I was talking to my
Future or my past,
But with my hands over my ears I spoke at last... sayin'
La la la, I can?t hear you,
La la la, La la la, I can?t hear you.
La la la, I can?t hear you,
La la la, La la la, I can?t hear you.
La La La (etc....)
I can?t hear you..........
