Lost for Words

Sweet surrender on your slippery slide I'm a street offender moving to the winning side It scares me senseless that I'm tongue-tied and neglected "Todo incommunicodo" - absolutely speechless Back at Pete's apartment overlooking Portman Square Lacking in the speech department reason why I'm there Black stretch limo and a dodgy politician Looking like a helpless dead duck, terribly bad luck Going round and round Barking up the wrong tree Searching high and low Underneath the back seat Going round and round Always landing upside down Lost for words and never knowing what to say Lost for words and does it matter anyway? Lost for words 'cause when I think it's over Always there going round and round Going up and down Going round and round All this talking without a sound I'm not urging any virgin I'm determined to be patient But it's hard to be pragmatic When the train has left the station I'm gonna need the service of the lexicon magician Dancing on a very fine line Definitely out there Going round and round Where on earth could I be? Searching high and low Running down a back street Going round and round Always landing upside down Lost for words and never knowing what to say Lost for words and does it matter anyway? Lost for words 'cause when I think it's over Always there going round and round Going up and down Going round and round All this talking without a sound Going round and round Because I stutter and I'm tongue-tied Searching high and low I'm always living on the outside Going round and round Always landing upside down Lost for words and never knowing what to say Lost for words and does it matter anyway? Lost for words 'cause when I think it's over here we go again Lost for words Lost for words and never knowing what to say Lost for words and does it matter anyway? Lost for words 'cause when I think it's over Lost for words 'cause when I think it's over Lost for words Always there going round and round Going up and down Going round and round All this talking without a sound
