Walking slow, talking fast Teacher says get to cla** She hates him He hates her I hate them so much it hurts Real life is not like a film So try not to get too excited about anything Because in the end you'll only be disappointed Aim low and keep your head down And people will admire you Avoid making enemies because you never know when you might need that persons help You can never have too many friends Wear clothes that help you to blend in And don't mark you out as being different You're not there, you're not there I'm not there, I'm not there It's best not to mention what you're really thinking to anybody As this can leave you vulnerable to attacks Rather than state your own opinions What don't you just repeat something that you read in a magazine?
You may cry from time to time and not know why Again, mention this to no one Whenever you feel down just go out with some friends for a drink Or maybe have an affair with a member of the opposite s** You're not there, you're not there I'm not there, I'm not there You can't sit back relax and wonder why But that's not where the truth is but that's where it lies And the room went boom in the middle of the night And it feels so wrong yet it feels so right And you've got me away the things that you say You're so un-alone but that's not written And it's everywhere and it's everything That I've ever saw that I've ever sang You're not there, you're not there I'm not there, I'm not there You're not there, you're not there I'm not there, I'm not there
