lyrics

In the din of a smokey place
She stared a hole right through my face
I didn't have a thing to say
But it really wouldn't have mattered much anyway
It seems like now so long ago
Her eyes showed me all I'd ever know
When all the people came and went
And to the end she was silent

No, don't speak

Twitches tell of love and hate
But words do not communicate
Her body is the language high
And the mammals all seem to know why
For subtleties cannot be known
Until they can be truly shown
And all the trying whispered lies
Cower behind trembling eyes

No, don't speak

Right up to now from yesterday
She never found another way
For an animal it's hard won trust
Beyond fear and beyond lust
It's worth the violence to me
To live outside captivity
Without the reassuring sound
Under which the truth is drowned

No, don't speak
