|
Living in a world where the flesh is cheap. |
|
Body touches body but it's only skin deep. |
|
I can hold you in my arms every time that you weep |
|
But we've lost that emotional flow. |
|
Living on a planet full of emptiness |
|
With maximum exposure full of sleaziness |
|
But the make up on your face can't disguise loneliness |
|
Where designer feelings are in vogue, what do they know? |
|
Darlin' Darlin' how do I get close to you when I'm |
|
Trying, trying my heart is reaching out to you |
|
How do I get close to you? |
|
In this world without feeling, |
|
Where words have no meaning, |
|
If I were lying, lying, |
|
I'd have more chance of reaching you but I'm, |
|
Crying, crying, but I can't get my message through, |
|
How do I get close to you? |
|
Get close to the sinners trying hard to repent |
|
Get close to the homeless wasters and the innocent |
|
Get close to the souls ignored and forgotten by the |
|
Establishment. |
|
People get afraid to touch in case it rubs off on them |
|
Gotta get close, yeah people gotta stay close, close. |
|
People gotta stay close. |
|
Though we seem together, it's breaking my heart. |
|
This world is full of barriers that keep us apart. |
|
Keep it superficial before feelings can start |
|
In a world that's all glitter and glow, what do they know? |
|
Darlin', darlin', I can't communicate to you without |
|
Crying, crying, I can't get a message through |
|
How do I get close to you? |
|
How can I get close? |
|
How can I get close? |
|
Darlin', darlin', how do I get close to you when you're |
|
surviving surviving in a world that's making us confused |
|
Guess I'm afraid of losing you. |
|
In this world without feeling. |
|
Somehow we gotta stay close. |
