Do You Want To Play?

-Jewel

Met her on a friday afternoon

In a neon dayglo pink

Chiffon satin room

She never looks back

She always looked good

Dressed in black

And she says oh

Do you want to play?

She lived beneath the

Disco discount store

With pictures of Randy Newman

Scattered all across the floor

I said "This place

Looks sort of desolate"

She said

"Are you only half alive?

Or have you always

Been this inarticulate?"

Oh

Do you want to play?

Don't think too hard

Don't think too fast

Don't ever give away

What you can't take back

Don't try to understand

What you can't comprehend

Underneath the disco neon

Daylight chandeleir

Disco diety of the chivalry

I said "Take it back

Take it back

Take it back"

Oh

Do you want to play?

This is the song that taught me what "inarticulate" meant. I fell in love with the word and its meaning. 

inarticulate

--unable to speak distinctly or express oneself clearly : he was inarticulate with abashment and regret.

--not clearly expressed or pronounced : inarticulate complaints of inadequate remuneration.

--having no distinct meaning; unintelligible : lurching up and down uttering inarticulate cries.

--not expressed; unspoken : mention of her mother filled her with inarticulate irritation.

And that's what this is all about - trying to find a way to write the inarticulate.
