The Tipping Point Lyrics
You know that I can't love you more
You know that I can't love you more
Silver tongue, they'll soon be gone
When the sunlight hits the room
Lay down with them if you want
Watch their breath and feel the cold
Raise your hand, bite your tongue
Conversation is over and done
Will you let them out?
Will you let them in?
Will you ever know when it's the tipping point, the tipping point?
So who's that ghost knocking at my door?
You know that I can't love you more
What's that shape climbing over my wall?
You know that I can't love you more
You know that I can't love you more
Winter done, they'll soon be gone
From this unforgiving place
To that vague and distant void
Where the sunlight splits the I
Life is cruel, life is tough
Life is crazy, then it all turns to dust
Will you let them out?
Will you let them in?
Will you ever know when it's the tipping point, the tipping point, the tipping point, the tipping point, the tipping point?
So who's that ghost knocking at my door?
You know that I can't love you more
What's that shape climbing over my wall?
You know that I can't love you more
So who's that ghost knocking at my door?
You know that I can't love you more
What's that shape climbing over my wall?
You know that I can't love you more
Love you more, love you more, love you more
You know that I can't love you more
When the sunlight hits the room
Lay down with them if you want
Watch their breath and feel the cold
Conversation is over and done
Will you let them out?
Will you let them in?
Will you ever know when it's the tipping point, the tipping point?
You know that I can't love you more
What's that shape climbing over my wall?
You know that I can't love you more
From this unforgiving place
To that vague and distant void
Where the sunlight splits the I
Life is crazy, then it all turns to dust
Will you let them out?
Will you let them in?
Will you ever know when it's the tipping point, the tipping point, the tipping point, the tipping point, the tipping point?
You know that I can't love you more
What's that shape climbing over my wall?
You know that I can't love you more
So who's that ghost knocking at my door?
You know that I can't love you more
What's that shape climbing over my wall?
You know that I can't love you more
Love you more, love you more, love you more

@thetrogg The utter and loathsome rampancy of Snake Oil Salesmen of our current times.

Why does it sound like it’s does the 80s
@irisemory Hmmmm, I would say because it’s written and performed by one of the best new wave bands of the 80’s. Oh yeah, and the song is DOPE!!!!!

This song is about the death of Roland's wife/Curts friend. It is heart-wrenching when you think about it. This brought me back to become a fan of the bands new music.
