Lyrics for Can't Make A Sound

I have become a silent movie The hero killed the clown Can't make a sound, can't make a sound Can't make a sound Nobody knows what he's doing Still hanging around Can't make a sound, can't make a sound Can't make a sound Can't make a sound The slow motion moves me The monologue means nothing to me Bored in a role, but he can't stop Standing up to sit back down To lose the one thing found Spinning the world like a toy top 'Til there's a ghost in every town Can't make a sound, can't make a sound Can't make a sound Can't make a sound Eyes locked and shining Can't you tell me what's happening? Why should you want any other When you're a world within a world? Why should you want any other When you're a world within a world? Why should you want any other When you're a world within a world? Why should you want any other When you're a world within a world?
