And they come and they come and they come I accept it with a gentle tongue No words spoken, no ? kept Take it, stomp twice, ring bell Tether that ringing, freeze Enough with the rifle and talk already We all know what it means Take this conversation to your great divide I can only swallow what I ate, And I don't hate him, and I don't hate her. And they come and they come and they come I accept it with a gentle tongue No heart broken, no ? kept Don't talk to me about being alone Don't talk to me about being alone Don't talk to me about being alone Reach for each other before you leave Reach peace, P-E-A-C-E Don't threaten me with a gentle tease, Don't threaten me with angry Please please please don't try to tell me what I am And they come and they come and they come I accept it with a gentle tongue No words spoken, no ? except Don't talk to me about being alone Don't talk to me about being alone Don't talk to me about being alone....
