The wretched desert takes its form, the jackal proud and tight

In search of you I feel my way, through the slowest heaving night

Whatever fear invents, I swear it make no sense

I reach out through the border fence

Come down, come talk to me

In the swirling, curling storm of desire unuttered words hold fast

With reptile tongue, the lightning lashes towers built to last

Darkness creeps in like a thief and offers no relief

Why are you shaking like a leaf?

Ah please talk to me

We can unlock this misery

Can't you show me how you feel now?

The earthly power sucks shadowed milk from sleepy tears undone

From nippled skin as smooth as silk the bugles blown as one

You lie there with your eyes half closed like there's no-one there at all

There's a tension pulling on your face

And you act so deaf, so blind

I can imagine the moment

Breaking out through the silence

All the things that we both might say

And the heart it will not be denied

'Til we're both on the same damn side

All the barriers blown away

Won't you please come talk to me?

Just like it used to be

Can you show me how you feel now?

And you act so deaf so blind
