No prayers can reach me here

No light can touch

Among reduced Bibles, cigarettes and drugs

I carve your name in my flesh



Listen, listen

Then come and take my hand



Tongues, tongues

Speak the little girls name

Tongues, tongues

Shame, shame



Tongues, tongues

Speak the little girls name

Tongues, tongues

Shame, shame



Innocence will never kiss me again

Never lick my stitched scars

Your lipstick’s between the legs of hell

Mixed with speed and blood



Listen, listen

Then come and take my hand



Tongues, tongues

Speak the little girls name

Tongues, tongues

Shame, shame



Tongues, tongues

Speak the little girls name

Tongues, tongues

Shame, shame



The eggs grow in her open wrists

It has started now

Her taste is on my lips and tongue

The taste of white medicines



Listen, listen

I’ll come and take your hand



Tongues, tongues

Speak the little girls name

Tongues, tongues

Shame, shame



Tongues, tongues

Speak the little girls name

Tongues, tongues

Shame, shame



Speak the little girls name

Shame, shame



Tongues, tongues

Speak the little girls name

Tongues, tongues

Shame, shame, shame
