Speaking In Tongues Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I guess
I thought we were indivisible
Remember when
The distance wasn't insurmountable?
I'd run all night
Just to hear you speak in tongues to me
Now we stare at phones
And talk in awkward teenage poetry

[Pre-Chorus 1]
When I get to you, yeah my blood runs cold
'Cause I don't recognize the person I behold
Underneath the moon yeah, we shake our bones
But I don't understand

[Chorus]
When you speak in tongues
I can't understand a single word you say
Sex and politics, a dangerous game we play
It's all we've ever known (we've ever known)
(We're speaking in tongues)
Face to face but miles away
(We're speaking in tongues)
I can't find the words to say
(We're speaking in tongues)
You're speaking in tongues
You're speaking in tongues to me
[Verse 2]
I confess
I was never one for waxing lyrical
But the radio
Taunts me with its modern parables

[Pre-Chorus 2]
It don't make sense, but it's all I know
When you're face down there's still further to go
And underneath the moon, well we shake our bones
But I don't understand

[Chorus]
When you speak in tongues
I can't understand a single word you say
Sex and politics, a dangerous game we play
It's all we've ever known (we've ever known)
(We're speaking in tongues)
Face to face but miles away
(We're speaking in tongues)
I can't find the words to say
(We're speaking in tongues)
You're speaking in tongues
You're speaking in tongues to me

[Bridge]
I danced with the devil
In the pale moonlight
You’ve got such a sharp tongue
Cuts me like a knife
I danced with the devil
In the pale moonlight
You’ve got such a sharp tongue
Cuts me like a knife
[Outro]
(We're speaking in tongues)
I danced with the devil
(We're speaking in tongues)
I danced with the devil
(We're speaking in tongues)
I danced with the devil
In the pale moonlight, oh
