Read my lips. Can you understand? Watch my hands, I can show you Read my lips. Can you understand? Watch my hands, I can show you In the Capitol City, no word heard to be uttered: The preachers kept as quiet as the whores and the beggars and the politicians And in the field of battle, you couldn't hear the clash of metal The mutineers' muskets were as mute as the tomb they would soon be filling Young lovers could not speak their hearts Nor painters discuss their art Nor lullaby's were sung to little children Through the space age clutter In the dust and in the matter The spaciousness between them became a spark of recognition And in the sap and gravel In the wood and in the metal The silence was the song that was felt by every atom A song made into history, an unfolding mystery A particle, pinnacle decoded Silkily it sped along, impacted like an atom bomb Suddenly the atmosphere exploded High, high, high, in the constellations The firmament glittered on everything it saw Sound sung out from every sphere of the aurora The tiniest atom had learned what it was for Say the words that are on my lips Can you understand? Tell me the answer Say the words that are on my lips Can you understand? Tell me the answer For every question hanging in the ether A hundred tongues will answer For love that took a life time To learn and decipher A light speed link along the chain Made a ring around the earth again Put an end to empty noises without meaning No eardrum tight as a trampoline Not plugged into the big machine Music is a monster than needs feeding High, high, high, in the constellations The firmament glittered on everything it saw Sound sung out from every sphere of the aurora The tiniest atom had learned what it was for High, high, high, in the constellations The firmament glittered on everything it saw Sound sung out from every sphere of the aurora The tiniest atom had learned what it was for
