The wretched desert

takes its form,

the jackal proud and tight

In search of you

I feel my way,

through the slowest heaving night

 

Whatever fear invents,

I swear it make no sense

I reach out

through the border fence

Come down, come talk to me

 

In the swirling, curling storm of desire

unuttered words hold fast

With reptile tongue, the lightning lashes

towers built to last

Darkness creeps in like a thief

and offers no relief

Why are you shaking like a leaf?

Come on, come talk to me

 

Ah please talk to me

Won't you please talk to me

We can unlock this misery

Come on, come talk to me

I did not come to steal

This all is so unreal

Can't you show me how you feel now

Come on, come talk to me

Come talk to me, come talk to me

 

The earthly power

sucks shadowed milk

from sleepy tears undone

From nippled skin

as smooth as silk

the bugles blown as one

You lie there with your eyes half closed

like there's no-one there at all

There's a tension pulling on your face

Come on, come talk to me

 

Won't you please talk to me

If you'd just talk to me

Unblock this misery

If you'd only talk to me

Don't you ever change your mind

Now your future's so defined

And you act so deaf so blind

Come on, come talk to me

Come talk to me, come talk to me
