Wax

here comes my one and only
talking like a starlet on a hollywood screen
she whispers something to me
I hear the words but I don't know what she means

oh she speaks american english
oh don't always understand
though she speaks american english
got the language of love
at her command

love travels transatlantic
I'm hot and bothered by her figure of speech
can't follow her semantics
but when her body moves it's clear to me

chorus

we don't need words
to express what is real
we've got each other
that says everything that we feel

there's too much damn confusion
with all this talking going round and round
we'll reach our own conclusion
we'll make connection on the common ground

chorus

she speaks american english
she speaks the language of love
she speaks american english

The prophet born again
the Bibie in his hand

With fire and brimstone eyes.
The saviour on TV with tax immunity
donations exorcized.

Who are these men in their ivory towers

not heaven sent
no
no.
Worshipping greed in the name of Jesus
save our souls!

In some other world you'd be branded as thieves

Thrown to your knees and made to answer.
In some different time they would lock you away

As mad men I'd say Amen.

Behind the public smile the politicians guile

so vain and powerful.
Elected for his hair by people unaware


it's unbelievable.

Brothers in arms robbing the future
shining in childrens eyes.
Shame on this world
shame on our country
shame on you.
In some other world you'd be branded as thieves
. . .

We built you an altar instead of an outcast

We made you a king respected and wealthy

The verdict is in
the jury is guilty.

Worshipping greed in the name of Jesus
shame on you!
In some other world you'd be branded as thieves
. . .
In some other world you'd be branded as thieves
. . .

You-hoo-hoo
you've been gone for so long

I'm losing sleep
look at what you're doing!
And I-hi-hi
yes
I know that I was wrong

but I couldn't see
see what I was losing.

Come back now
baby
little run-around
little run-around

Little lost and found
little lost and found
yeah!
Don't make me crazy

Just bring your body back home
right here where you belong.

Whoa
building a bridge to your heart

Whoa
let's make a new start
build a bridge to your heart.

I don't know what the future's gonna be
good or bad

time won't be your saviour.
And I can't give you no written guarantee

I won't make you sad
but I'll be on my best behaviour.



Look what you're doing when you put me down

when you put me down

Made me the clown
made me the clown
yeah!
Look what you're doing

Just come on over and see just how much lovin's in me
yeah!
Whoa
building a bridge to your heart
. . .

Listen: I'll take you any way I can tonight

come back and satisfy my appetite.
You gotta know you mean that much to me

To get you back
you know
I'll do anything.

Come back now
baby
just bring your body back home

Right here now
baby
where you belong.
Whoa
building a bridge to your heart
. . .
Whoa
building a bridge to your heart
. . .
