XTC - No Language in Our Lungs lyrics
[XTC - No Language in Our Lungs lyrics]
There is no language in our lungs
To tell the world just how we feel
No, no, no, no, no, no bridge of thought
No mental link
No letting out just what you think
There is no language in our lungs
Lungs, lungs, lungs
There is no muscle in our tongues
To tell the world what's in our hearts
No, no, no, no, no
We're leaving nothing behind
Just chiseled stones
No chance to speak before we're bones
There is no muscle in our tongues
Tongues, tongues, tongues
I thought I had the whole world in my mouth
I thought I could say what I wanted to say
For a second
That thought became a sword in my hand
I could slay any problem that
Would stand in my way
I felt just like a crusader
Lionheart, a Holy Land invader
But nobody can say what they
Really mean to say
The impotency of speech came up
And hit me that day
I would have made this instrumental
But the words got in the way
There is no language in our
There is no language in our lungs
To tell the world what's in our hearts
No, no, no, no, no
We're leaving nothing behind
Just chiseled stones
No chance to speak before we're bones
There is no language in our lungs
Lungs, lungs
To tell the world just how we feel
No, no, no, no, no, no bridge of thought
No mental link
No letting out just what you think
There is no language in our lungs
Lungs, lungs, lungs
There is no muscle in our tongues
To tell the world what's in our hearts
No, no, no, no, no
We're leaving nothing behind
Just chiseled stones
No chance to speak before we're bones
There is no muscle in our tongues
Tongues, tongues, tongues
I thought I had the whole world in my mouth
I thought I could say what I wanted to say
For a second
That thought became a sword in my hand
I could slay any problem that
Would stand in my way
I felt just like a crusader
Lionheart, a Holy Land invader
But nobody can say what they
Really mean to say
The impotency of speech came up
And hit me that day
I would have made this instrumental
But the words got in the way
There is no language in our
There is no language in our lungs
To tell the world what's in our hearts
No, no, no, no, no
We're leaving nothing behind
Just chiseled stones
No chance to speak before we're bones
There is no language in our lungs
Lungs, lungs
