lyrics
when we was kids we did the walk to school
and even then i knew that
i was in trouble baby
Jesus Christ was always at my side
on my back and forth between us
kids and grownups
you let my curious hand creep
up your dress (and that's the best)
all i ever wanted teacher said so said so
you let my eye meet with your
understanding eye you said don't cry
you said from stone to stone
you'll learn to speak in this secret language
and later on up on a ledge jump off the edge
and as i sink i'm thinking about all the good times baby well uh
the times i felt uptight they just melt
look in your face and smile
i said "don't shout you'll wake the neighbors
from their drunken slumber" well
you let my foolish words just pass you by
speech bubbles in the sky
said nothing but dot dot dot
you let my aching heart search
for a sign of life out late at night
you said from town to town you'll
you'll learn to speak in this secret language
