These Words 3 36 Lyrics - Singles - New Model Army

(Sullivan) 

Through the years of decay we walk like tigers in cages 

With each passing turn the smaller and smaller the circles 

Every weapon and word legitimate now as protection 

But these things should never be spoken 

These things should never be spoken 

I stand undefeated alone in the ring just pacing 

The sweat and the blood dried on my hands all wasted 

I'm shouting "come back and fight for I am the king" 

But the lights are all out and the people are gone 

We always burned brightest when no one was watching 

Now I kiss the lines on your beautiful face 

But these things should never be spoken 

And sometimes your hunger for life seems like desperation 

And when I read about the world these days all I can feel is hatred 

The fortune teller is closing her doors 

She looked into the crystal and saw nothing at all 

They're waiting round here for something to happen 

They won't really want it when it rolls out to greet them 

But these things should never be spoken 

These things should never be spoken
