Tongues lyrics

Artist  : Fish 
Song : Tongues



 Send "Tongues" Ringtone to your Cell 

 (dick/simmonds/usher/boult)



If you
really knew how I felt,

You wouldn't need
to be here asking

Those questions,

Those irritating questions, moving in
metaphors,

Speaking in tongues.



Your gunboat diplomacy,

You accuse me of
heresy, of being irreverent,

My opinions
irrelevant, when I smile at your smiles,

When you're speaking in tongues.



As we move to a stalemate,

You say a
contract's a contract

& this is
unnegotiable,

I question your morality, you
question my reality

You're speaking in
tongues



We are speaking in
tongues,

Am I deaf because I cannot
comprehend? 

Though I try I just cannot
understand.



Your entrenched
opinions,

On the border of arrogance,

Dug in against the compromise.

A
position indefensible, your actions illogical

You're speaking in tongues



You
swear contradictions

Your tedious
monologues, wielding authority,

Demanding
subservience, demanding

I make your
sense.

Demanding speaking in tongues.
