Lyrics The Human League

The Human League

The Touchables

Speaking of which, what is your choice

Your conversation will suffice

I feel the need that's known to all

Better use it up before the levels fall

You can take me back to the primal drive

You can carry on until we arrive

Hypnotised inside

Now I'm not young and you're not old

I'd rather purchase than be sold

Crazed friends so bold

It's not easy to conceal

When you're so touchable

People will hide indifference

Just to be touchable

They still emit split second screams

When they are touchable

Under the surface just for kicks

Sincerely touchable

You say it's okay, but what do I feel

Guilt, compassion, or Achilles Heel

Little feet march down grey matter hill

Then panic occurs, no seeds to spill

What's the matter now

Please look up and speak

Your spirit's wilting and your flesh is weak

Eight days a week

I can't imagine what'll happen now

I wonder when and I wonder how

The end will come

It's not easy to conceal

When you're so touchable

People will hide indifference

Just to be touchable

It's not easy to conceal

When you're so touchable

People will hide indifference

Just to be touchable

They still emit split second screams

When they are touchable

Under the surface just for kicks

Sincerely touchable

The final answer to all our fears

Abrupt conclusion to all our years

Still touchable but no one hears

They carry on hypnotised inside
