I love it when a native Florida green anole is found frolicking in my yard!

PARAMORE - "Native Tongue"

How can they say
that it’s one way
when it’s the opposite?
And how can they know
the end of the story
before I tell it?

‘Cause when I walk
your feet, they fall…
to the same beat.
Or maybe we’re from two different worlds,
But we got our own language!

We took to people,
but they never understand!
They think we’re crazy
‘cause it sounds like laws

When we’re speaking in our native
speaking in our native tongue!
We’re speaking in our native
speaking in our native tongue!

We used to live
like we were strangers
we didn’t know any better!
We didn’t fit
in with the outer crowd
so we gave in
and we shut our mouths!

But oh how I love your history
and I can take it!
And when you talk in code to me
I can translate it!
We took to people,
but they never understand!

They think we’re crazy
‘cause it sounds like laws with them -
Ain’t it strange
all the things you hear
when you sit
and listen?

We’re speaking in our native,
speaking in our native tongue!
We’re speaking in our native,
speaking in our native tongue!
We’re speaking in our native,
speaking in our native tongue!

And all this time I've been wasting my breath,
just wasting my woes on everyone else!

Now speaking in my native,
speaking in my native tongue!

So come on,
talk it out!
So come on,
Talk it out!
Some come on
and talk talk talk talk talk -
talk it out!

Your voice, it’d probably be back from the dead
so come on and
talk talk talk talk talk
talk it out!

OUT!

OUT!

OUT!

Speaking in our native,
speaking in our native tongue!
We’re speaking in our native,
speaking in our native tongue!

And all this time I've been wasting my breath,
(You know we speak in the hole this time)
just wasting my woes on everyone else!
(You know we’re speaking the same language now)
Now speaking in my native,
speaking in my native tongue!
