The wretched desert takes its form

The jackal proud and tight

In search of you I feel my way

Through slowest heaving night

Whatever fear invents

I swear it makes 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?

Come on, come talk to me

Oh please talk to me

Won't you please talk to me

We can unlock this misery

Come on, come talk to me

I did not come to steal

This all is so unreal

Can't you show me how you feel?

Now come on, come talk to me

Come talk to me

Come talk to me

The earthly power sucks shadowed milk

From sleepy tears undone

From nippled skin as smooth as silk

The bugles blow 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

Come on, come talk to me

Won't you please talk to me?

If you'd just talk to me

Unblock this misery

If you'd only talk to me

Don't you ever change your mind

Now your future's so defined

And you act so deaf, so blind

Come on, come talk to me

Come talk to me

Come talk to me

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

I said please talk to me

Won't you please come talk to me?

Just like it used to be

Come on, come talk to me

I did not come to steal

This all is so unreal

Can you show me how you feel?

Now come on, come talk to me

Come talk to me

Come talk
