Tongues

No prayers can reach me here

No light can touch

Among reduced bibles, cigarettes and drugs

I carve your name in my flesh

Listen, listen

Then come and take my hand

Tongues, tongues

Speak the little girl's name

Tongues, tongues

Shame, shame

Tongues, tongues

Speak the little girl's name

Tongues, tongues

Shame, shame

Innocence will never kiss me again

Never lick my stitched scars

Your lipstick's between the legs of Hell

Mixed with speed and blood

Listen, listen

Then come and take my hand

Tongues, tongues

Speak the little girl's name

Tongues, tongues

Shame, shame

Tongues, tongues

Speak the little girl's name

Tongues, tongues

Shame, shame

The eggs grow in her open wrists

It has started now

Her taste is on my lips and tongue

The taste of white medicines

(Na-na, na-na) listen, listen

(Na-na, na-na) I'll come and take your hand

Tongues, tongues

Speak the little girl's name

Tongues, tongues

Shame, shame

Tongues, tongues

Speak the little girl's name

Tongues, tongues

Shame, shame

(Na-na, na-na)

Speak the little girl's name

(Na-na, na-na)

Shame, shame

Tongues, tongues

Speak the little girl's name

Tongues, tongues

Shame, shame, shame
