At certain times in certain places
every spoken word is
already one word too many
If your dream woman invites you
to be at her place for the first time
and after the third wine pulls you
by the shirt into the bedroom
then you can make big speeches
can deliver a long lecture
about love and such beautiful things
with words that sound fantastic
but in this case it'd be better
non-verbal communication
If you want to go into a bar
where only Schalke fans are standing
I strongly recommend
refraining from certain things
Never say, even if it's true
'Schalke plays absolute crap!'
or that you're a Dortmund fan
unless you're a masochist
because otherwise you're sure to get as reward
an exchange of a very special kind
showing feelings without words!
When you're on stage
and think it'd be cool now
out of euphoria while singing
to jump straight into the crowd
if the people standing there then
suddenly step aside
and instead of joining in nicely
laugh loudly at the impact
then you're right: that's a kind
non-verbal communication
If someone throws a pie at you
that's a statement without words
