Force Fed, Fed Up, & Tongue Tied Lyrics - Singles - Gie Few

You've stood in this very spot before 

the second time she said goodbye that night 

& though you can't relate, try not to hate all the things you feel inside 

for all of the young ones who're moving east 

you aint gonna find yourself out there 

& all eyes drain as they board the plane & you shrug off another year 

& all the restless singers & hot dog vendors force their trade outside 

& you're around again, force fed, fed up, & tongue tied 

It was a full-blown saturday night 

how quickly we forget about our past 

you hadn't been there in weeks, backbeats & freaks, & old feelings coming up fast 

then she walks into the room 

your stomach muscles fight like green berets 

her eyes so obscene, sing like tambourines as they flash themselves your way 

& if you'd take time now to step out of yourself & put aside your american pride 

you'd be around again, force fed, fed up, & tongue tied 

You & she were of the chosen few, 

there was little left to say & less to be done 

there was no need to guess, all signs pointed to yes as you rode off into the sun 

along came a storm of bad luck 

that washed away everything you thought was right 

you held back your cough, watched her take off for her dream of an eastern life 

& some unknown unseen came from who knows where & ripped out all you had inside 

& you're around again, force fed, fed up, & tongue tied
