Now coming down
Out of this swan dive,
To your arms.
I make no sounds
When I move through your reservoir.
But I wake up quick.
And I wake up sick.
As you...
Abandon me
Into these fields
Of rank and file.
Through this crowd I hear you breathing.
Through these bars I watch them bring more in.
Now I send back letters,
From the wasteland home.
Where I slow dance to this romance on my own.
It may be two to tango,
But boy,
It's one to let go.
Well, it's just one to let go.
Now boy keep still.
Now don't spread yourself around.
Get back in line,
Eat your bread and just work the plow.
'Cause you're not through.
They're not done with you.
Did you think you were
the only one that's been let down?
So sleep tight
little boys of the new damned:
Another drop in the tidal wave of quicksand.
Now I send back letters,
from the wasteland home.
Where I slowdance to this romance on my own.
It may take two to tango,
But boy,
It's one to let go.
Now another bad idea gets through,
Down the assembly line to you!
You're every bridge I should have burned!
Every lesson I've unlearned!
Now in this smokefilled waiting room
With incarcerated love sick fools
I will wait for you to cut me loose.
But 'till then I'll
Send back letters from wasteland home,
Where I slowdance to this romance on my own.
Now I send back letters
From the wasteland home,
From where I slowdance
To this romance on my own.talking about Melissa when your name came up
talking about mixed signals and all that kind of stuff
talking about religion, talking politics and love
how we keep talking, talking about everything except us
talk walk drive, drive walk talk
talk walk driving me away from you, drive walk talk to me baby
walking around this city, walking along these streets
hoping they might feel familiar beneath these foreign feet
walking down to the village, walk to a taxi to your house
walking walking on a road to nowhere when it comes to us
talk walk drive, drive walk talk
talk walk driving me away from you, drive walk talk to me baby
why don't you say what you mean? mean what you say
I won't let you talk walk drive away
driving along the freeway, driving into the hills
hoping they might feel familiar beneath these foreign wheels
driving until sunset, driving myself too hard
driving myself crazier when it comes to us
talk walk drive, drive walk talk
talk walk driving me away from you, drive walk talk to me baby
talk walk drive, drive walk talk
talk walk driving me away from you, drive walk talk to me baby
