I've been talking to the wall
and it's been answering me
Oh darling how I miss you
I'm just the mere shadow
of my former selfishness
I crave the silhouette of your kiss
With only the blue light of the TV on
Lip reading threats and false alarms
There's a boy somewhere
holding hands with himself
And a girl in a window
on the Reeperbarn
Whenever I put my foot
in my mouth and you begin to doubt
That it's you that I'm dreaming about
Do I have to draw you a diagram
All I ever want is just to
fall into your human hands
With the kings
and queens of the dance hall craze
Checkmate in three moves
in your heyday
But the girls don't listen to
your line anymore
Now you're part of someone else
On the factory floor
and you still say Where's the action
Now you manufacture happiness
And get sold on the
cheap for someone's satisfaction
Whenever I put my foot
in my mouth and you begin to doubt
That it's you that I'm dreaming about
Do I have to draw you a diagram
All I ever want is just to
fall into your human hands
All you toy soldiers
and scaremongers
Are you living in
this world sometimes I wonder
In between saying
you've seen too much
And saying you've seen it all before
Tighter and tighter
I hold you tightly
You know I love you
more than slightly
Although I've never said
it like this before
Whenever I put my foot
in my mouth and you begin to doubt
That it's you that I'm dreaming about
Do I have to draw you a diagram
All I ever want is just to
fall into your human hands
All I ever want is just to
fall into your human hands
