Speaking in Tongues

I guess I thought we were indivisible
Remember when the distance wasn't insurmountable
I'd run all night
Just to hear you speak in tongues to me
Now we stare at phones
And talk in awkward teenage poetry
When I get to you yeah my blood runs cold
Cos I don't recognise the person I behold
Underneath the moon yeah we shake our bones
But I don't understand
When you speak in tongues
I can't understand a single word you say
Sex and politics a dangerous game we play
It's all we've ever known
We're speaking in tongues
Face to face but miles away
We're speaking in tongues
I can't find the words to say
We're speaking in tongues
You're speaking in tongues
You're speaking in tongues to me
I confess I was never one for waxing lyrical
But the radio taunts me with its modern parables
It don't make but it's all I know
When you're face down there's still further to go
And underneath the moon when we shake our bones
No I don't understand
But I don't understand
When you speak in tongues
I can't understand a single word you say
Sex and politics a dangerous game we play
It's all we've ever known
We're speaking in tongues
Face to face but miles away
We're speaking in tongues
I can't find the words to say
We're speaking in tongues
You're speaking in tongues
You're speaking in tongues to me
I danced with the devil
In the pale moonlight
I danced with the devil
In the pale moonlight
You've got such a sharp tongue
Cuts me like a knife
We're speaking in tongues
I danced with the devil
We're speaking in tongues
I danced with the devil
We're speaking in tongues
I danced with the devil
In the pale moonlight
