Speaking In Tongues

I guess

I thought we were indivisible

Remember when the distance wasn't insurmountable

I'd run all night

Just to hear you speak in tongues to me

Now we stare at phones

And talk in awkward teenage poetry

When I get to you yeah my blood runs cold

'Cos I don't recognise the person I behold

Underneath the moon yeah we shake our bones

But I don't understand

When you speak in tongues

I can't understand a single word you say

Sex and politics a dangerous game we play

It's all we've ever known

We're speaking in tongues

Face to face but miles away

We're speaking in tongues

I can't find the words to say

We're speaking in tongues

You're speaking in tongues

You're speaking in tongues to me

I confess

I was never one for waxing lyrical

But the radio

Taunts me with its modern parables

It don't make sense but it's all I know

When you're face down there's still further to go

Underneath the moon yeah we shake our bones

But I don't understand

When you speak in tongues

I can't understand a single word you say

Sex and politics a dangerous game we play

It's all we've ever known

We're speaking in tongues

Face to face but miles away

We're speaking in tongues

I can't find the words to say

We're speaking in tongues

You're speaking in tongues

You're speaking in tongues to me

I danced with the devil

In the pale moonlight

You’ve got such a sharp tongue

Cuts me like a knife

I danced with the devil

In the pale moonlight

You’ve got such a sharp tongue

Cuts me like a knife

We're speaking in tongues

I danced with the devil

We're speaking in tongues

I danced with the devil

We're speaking in tongues

I danced with the devil

In the pale moonlight

Oh
