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 to me
