Talking to the Wall Lyrics
There's a very old expression
Called talking to the wall
And it means
You get no answers
Just stone silenceBut walls have ears
And you can hear me
When I callI can feel it
Feel it in my bones
You really mean it
It is not a hoaxSham bam
Thank you ma'am
Not for you
You're bona fide... ahYou don't come on
In a trojan horse
No hidden wires
To make me fallWhat I see
Is what I get
Straight and true
My solid wallYou keep my chin up
Stabilise my highs and lows
You're extra special
Nothing superficialYou see right through me
Rust
Cracks
Warts and all
Nothing changes
I'm the last word
In what you wantYou're as solid
As a wall
And I can
Lean against youI can tell you
All my troubles
And I know
You'll hear meWalls have ears
You can hear me
When I call
Talking to the wall
