Tongues Songtext
von Fish

If you really knew how I felt
You wouldn′t need to be here asking those questions
Those irritating questions
Moving in metaphors
Speaking in tongues

Your gunboat diplomacy
You accuse me of heresy
Of being irreverent
My opinions irrelevant
When I smile at your similes
When you're speaking in tongues
As we move to a stalemate

You say a contract′s a contract
And this is unnegotiable
I question your morality
You question my reality

You're speaking in tongues
We're speaking in tongues
We are speaking in tongues


We′re speaking in tongues
Am I deaf ′cause I cannot comprehend?
We're speaking in tongues
We are speaking in tongues
We′re speaking in tongues
Though I try I just cannot understand
We are speaking in tongues

Your entrenched opinions
On the border of arrogance

Dug in against a compromise
A position indefensible
Your actions illogical
You're speaking in tongues
You spout contradictions
Your tedious monologues
Wielding authority
Demanding subservience
Demanding I make your sense
Demanding speaking of tongues

We′re speaking in tongues
We are speaking in tongues
We're speaking in tongues


Am I deaf ′cause I cannot comprehend?
We're speaking in tongues
We are speaking in tongues
We're speaking in tongues
Though I try I just cannot understand
