This song is really one about shallow people who never seem to stop talking about themselves, and I think the name of the song reflects it - like them, a puddle is shallow and you can see right through them...I'd like to think it's a tongue - in - cheek look at the album as well!

Puddle

(fade in to hi-hat drum beat that sounds washed out)

(corny, old time voice. Violins fade in and out.)

Every day, millions of people
Say millions of different things
Not much of it matters,
And not much of it really makes a difference
So why do we listen?
Why don't you just close off your ears
Wear some ear muffs
Stop listening to the people who're wasting your valuable time.
Stop listening, and don't worry.

(kick in to drum beat)

(guitars kicked in)

(back to normal vocals)

Don't worry

You don't have to hear my voice
Don't have to look at me if you don't want to
I'll still be hear
Sitting here
Listening to you...

Ooooh-aaaaaah!..
Won't you listen to me
Ooooh-aaaaaah!
Won't you hear my pain
Too

(kick)

OOoooh don't worry
I'll be ok
Don't think about it
I'll just watch your moaning face
Ooooooohh don't worry
I have nothing to say
Lets talk about you...(echoes)

(filller, build down)

Don't think you have to say
Do you wanna talk about it
Of course I wanna talk about it
It's just that you won't let me

Let me speak
A little of my mind
Let me say
The things I need to find
Please

(kick)

OOoooh don't worry
I'll be ok
Don't think about it
I'll just watch your moaning face
Ooooooohh don't worry
I have nothing to say
Lets talk about you...(echoes)

(filller, build down)

You know what
Sometimes I think about you
You're as deep as a puddle
Just as shallow, too

(Ooooh-aaaaaah!..)
The clothes you...wear
(Ooooh-aaaaaah!..)
The gel in your...hair
(Ooooh-aaaaaah!)(build up through this)
Your vacant...stare...

Ooooh-aaaaaah!..
Won't you listen to me
Ooooh-aaaaaah!
Won't you hear my pain
Too

(silence, then kick)

OOoooh don't worry
I'll be ok
Don't think about it
I'll just watch your moaning face
Ooooooohh don't worry
I have nothing to say
Lets talk about you...(echoes)

(build up)

You strut around
Ignoring everybody else
Do you think we want to listen
To every word you have to say!?

Don't you think
We want to talk
Listen to me
Just listen to me!

Shut your mouth
Open your eyes
Stop telling us things
We know are lies!

(kick, build up more)

don't you worry
i think I'm ok
Don't think about it
I'll just watch your moaning face!
Ooooooohh yeah..!
don't worry
I have nothing to say
Just let the silence comfort us
and fill the air!

(wah wah)

(long drum filler then solo)

(kick, build up)

don't you worry
i think I'm ok
Don't think about it
I'll just watch your moaning face!
Ooooooohh yeah..!
don't worry
I have nothing to say
Just let the silence comfort us
and fill the air!

(repeat, fade)
