"Deaf Ears" lyrics - GUIDED BY VOICES

This too, wash away
On human sanitation day
And I will starve to death
Before you feed me

With your tenderness
Greet me
With your slimy hands

You beckon me with open arms
You offer salvation
And I salivate
But it's too late
I'm a dollar short
And that's too bad

'Cause what you got
I wish I had
I seek to know
That you get mad

My final words have fallen upon deaf ears
My last few words have fallen upon deaf ears

[Another Version]

This to wash away
Give us our protection day
And I will starve to death
Before you see me
With your tenderness
Greet me
With your slimy kiss

Beckon me with open arms
Your salvation
And I salivate
But it's too late
I gotta show [?]
But that's too bad
'Cuz what you got
I wish I had
You seem to know that you been bad [?]

My father was???
My nasty words???
