Monkey Talk Lyrics by Breathless

The Glass Bead Game

1986

For the second time tonight
Hearing the voice of the sand
Winding through a small sit around
We’ll feel alright
We’ll live around
Twist round. Touch the ground
Can’t you play?
And oh, we eat much more than you
Blow kisses to the old and the blue
Life lies sweet
And oh, we eat much more than you
Remote from the world
Two days from eden
Hold on like I do
Close your eyes
And simply smile through
This town, this home
It never alters
Those hollow faces
That tempt our tired souls
In times I’ve known
I’ve been taken in and led nowhere
Nowhere short of cold
When will I be told?
(And) I never ever, ever never
Wanted more from you
I never ever, ever never
Expected more from you
I wait for the day
When you will be
So far away
They take us for granted
And leave us lamenting
Feeling like I do
Holding out for you
I never ever, ever never
Wanted more from you
I never ever, ever never
Expected more from you
We’re full of praise
Dry eyed and fighting
Eyes open wide
We can’t feel the stones, no
Feeling like I do; holding out for you
They take us for granted
Leave us lamenting
(And) I can’t bear to see you
I can’t bear to look at you
My eyes are dry
My heart is hardened
The stones are dust to me
Release is so close at hand
Watching now, reaching now
Take this hand
Christ knows I try
Not suffering tonight
Voluntary force
What I want is mercy
Not sacrifice
Freedom while we wept oh no
I’ll wait for now
Release is close at hand
Take this hand
