Silent Tongue

I think of other people, people under strain Going out to party, sober window pain Little tiny sips they take, and they don't even hear She thinks that

she wants to live and leave all at once the kiss has conditions and the car has rust but hey, Union Square has a rat or two roaming 'round With every

a thousand times a day And ask her if she'll marry me in some old fashioned way But my silent fears have gripped me long before I reach the phone Long before my tongue

I saw a woman chewing with nothing in her mouth Her teeth were in her hands and her tongue was hanging out Then she started drooling and caught it in

Made me kiss you with a whisper And violently you swung through an unfamiliar tongue Couldn't listen to tradition Grab me by the wrist to silently insist

my condition This madness shoots me Like bullets smashing glass in a silent movie I'm a trap without a spring A temple with no God A jack without an ace The tip of your tongue

if inside a dream I can see her again by the sink from behind the bathroom mirror she pulls a thermometer and placed it underneath my tongue. Said "

Silver tongues are speaking long and hard into the night, I must be myself and I'll do alright. Oh please my darling do not make me sad, Late at night

' my bum-bum like your bongos Ride it like Tonto, I'll be your sidekick The sweetest sang when the mouth silent When you doin' what you doin' Get to movin' the tongue
