Lyrics: Tom Vek. Cover.

When you get home
There's gonna be a big present
Waitin' on your bedside table
She said, "It's your, Stanley knife
Smile, cutting in to me"

That's why I cover my ears
When you talk to me, that's why
That's why I cover my ears
When you talk to me, that's why

So you sit there, sister gettin' cold
With only camel lights to keep you warmer
You're in a great big car, now, pollutin'
That coffee cup has never looked so good
It's the way you say my name like you're jokin'

That's why I cover my ears
When you talk to me, that's why
That's why I cover my ears
When you talk to me, that's why

You're not gonna get very far
With a smile like that
You're not gonna get very far
With a smile like that

You're not gonna get very far
With a smile like that
You're not gonna get very far
With a smile like that
You're not gonna get very far
With a smile like that

That's why I cover my ears
When you talk to me, that's why
That's why I cover my ears
When you talk to me, that's why
