No Language In Our Lungs Lyrics - Black Sea - Xtc

There is no language in our lungs 

To tell the world just how we feel 

No bridge of thought 

No mental link 

No letting out just what you think 

There is no language in our lungs 

There is no muscle in our tongues 

To tell the world what's in our hearts 

No, we're leaving nothing 

Just chiseled stones 

No chance to speak before we're bones 

There is no muscle in our tongues 

I thought I had the whole world in my mouth 

I thought I could say what I wanted to say 

For a second that thought became a sword in my hand 

I could slay any problem that would stand in my way 

I felt just like a crusader 

Lion-heart, a Holy Land invader 

But nobody can say what they really mean to say, and 

The impotency of speech came up and hit me that day, and 

I would have made this instrumental 

But the words got in the way 

There is no language in our... 

There is no language in our lungs 

To tell the world what's in our hearts 

No, we're leaving nothing behind 

Just chiseled stones 

No chance to speak before we're bones 

There is no language in our lungs
