Monkey Talk - Breathless

For the second time tonight,

Hearing the voice of the sand

Winding through a small sit around,

We’ll feel alright,

We’ll live around.

Twist round.

Touch the ground.

Can’t you play?

And oh, we eat much more than you,

Blow kisses to the old and the blue.

Life lies sweet.

And oh, we eat much more than you,

Remote from the world,

Two days from eden,

Two days from eden.

Hold on like I do,

Hold on like I do

Close your eyes

And simply smile through.

This town, this home,

It never alters

Those hollow faces

That tempt our tired souls.

In times I’ve known

I’ve been taken in and led nowhere,

Nowhere short of cold.

When will I be told?

(And) I never ever, ever never,

Wanted more from you.

I never ever, ever never,

Expected more from you.

I wait for the day

When you will be

so far away.

They take us for granted

And leave us lamenting

Feeling like I do;

Holding out for you.

I never ever, ever never,

Wanted more from you.

I never ever, ever never,

Expected more from you.

We’re full of praise,

Dry eyed and fighting,

Eyes open wide

We can’t feel the stones, no.

Feeling like I do;

holding out for you.

They take us for granted

Leave us lamenting.

(And) I can’t bear to see you.

I can’t bear to look at you.

My eyes are dry,

My heart is hardened,

The stones are dust to me.
