I've been talking to the wall and it's been answering me |
|
Oh darling how I miss you |
|
I'm just the mere shadow of my former selfishness |
|
I crave the silhouette of your kiss |
|
With only the blue light of the tv on |
|
Lip reading threats and false alarms |
|
There's a boy somewhere holding hands with himself |
|
And a girl in a window on the reeperbarn |
|
Whenever I put my foot in my mouth and you begin to doubt |
|
That it's you that I'm dreaming about |
|
Do I have to draw you a diagram? |
|
All I ever want is just to fall into your human hands |
|
With the kings and queens of the dance hall craze |
|
Checkmate in three moves in your heyday |
|
But the girls don't listen to your line anymore |
|
Now you're part of someone else |
|
On the factory floor and you still say "where's the action?" |
|
Now you manufacture happiness |
|
And get sold on the cheap for someone's satisfaction |
|
Whenever I put my foot in my mouth and you begin to doubt |
|
That it's you that I'm dreaming about |
|
Do I have to draw you a diagram? |
|
All I ever want is just to fall into your human hands |
|
All you toy soldiers and scaremongers |
|
Are you living in this world sometimes I wonder |
|
In between saying you've seen too much and saying you've seen it all before |
|
Tighter and tighter I hold you tightly |
|
You know I love you more than slightly |
|
Although I've never said it like this before |
|
Whenever I put my foot in my mouth and you begin to doubt |
|
That it's you that I'm dreaming about |
|
Do I have to draw you a diagram? |
|
All I ever want is just to fall into your human hands |
