No Language In Our Lungs - Lyrics by Xtc


Lyrics
There is no language in our lungsto tell the world just how we feelno bridge of thoughtno mental linkno letting out just what you thinkthere is no language in our lungsthere is no muscle in our tonguesto tell the world what's in our heartsno we're leaving nothingjust chiselled stonesno chance to speak before we're bonesthere is no muscle in our tongues
I thought I had the whole world in my mouth
I thought I could say what I wanted to say
For a second that thought became a sword in my hand
I could slay any problem that would stand in my way
I felt just like a crusaderlionheart, a holy land invaderbut nobody can say what they really mean to say andthe impotency of speech came up and hit me that day and
I would have made this instrumentalbut the words got in the waythere is no language in our...there is no language in our lungsto tell the world what's in our heartsno we're leaving nothing behindjust chiselled stonesno chance to speak before we're bonesthere is no language in our lungs.
