Jehnny Beth and Bobby Gillespie - Stones of Silence

Never somebody needing me
Never someone calling my name
I wish answers poured endlessly like water
From my elbow to my hand

I can provide for all your needs
My heart is an open manger
My room is white from clear thinking
Tears have wiped all the dirty stains

Bitter winds find us and blow us apart
Stones of silence blind us
Desire is a hunger that murders the heart

I'm pale, there's black between my teeth
I danced all night to come back here
My brain is empty
I gave it all for nothing
My contribution walks away

Bitter winds find us and blow us apart
Stones of silence blind us
Desire is a hunger that murders the heart

Now in front of the TV set
I see grey-suited men
Stuffing death in their wallets
Stuffing death in their wallets

Bitter winds find us and blow us apart
Stones of silence blind us
Desire is a hunger

Bitter winds find us and blow us apart
Stones of silence blind us
Desire is a hunger that murders the heart
