lyrics

In search of a cure for the boredom I’d grown
I stumbled upon
A girl who could speak in a language unknown
A golden tongue
She said it’s your words that’ll drag you along
So lose that song
And then she replaced them with words of her own
And the gloom was gone

I’ll take you to places where no one can come
Where words have no meaning or truth of their own
Where nothing reminds you of what’s still to come
Where no one is speaking the language of long gone

I’ve seen the devil and spoken in tongues
Just for fun
Cause real evil never has laughed or has sung
Or seen the sun
Speaking in circles of right and of wrong
Hides his gun
To fire it just when you think you belong
Hit and run

It’ll take you to places where no one can come
Where words have no meaning or truth of their own
Where nothing reminds you of what’s still to come
Where no one is speaking the language of long gone

Don’t get me wrong
It’s just a song
Don’t give me rights
Stay here tonight
Swim to the light
I’m on your side
Don’t get me wrong
I don’t belong
