Lyrics
When stunted hand earns place with man by mere monstrosity
Alarms are struck and shore is shock by sheer atrocity
A cure I know that soothes the soul, does so impossibly
A moment's silence when my baby puts the mouth on
Me and my babe relax and catch the manic rhapsody
All reason flown as God looks on in abject apathy
A squall and all of me is a prayer in perfect piety
A moment's silence when my baby puts the mouth on me
When the meaning's gone, there is clarity
And the reason comes on the common tongue of your loving me
And it's easy done, our little remedy
And the reason comes on the common tongue of your loving me
What yields the need for those who lead us, oh, so morally?
Those that would view the same we do through their deformity
Who view the deed as power's creed, as pure authority?
This moment's silence when my baby puts the mouth on me
Since it all begun to it's reckoning
There the reason comes on the common tongue of your loving me
Be thankful some know it lovingly
There the reason comes in the common tongue of your loving me, whoo!
Like a heathen clung to the homily
Let the reason come on the common tongue of your loving me
So summon on the pearl rosary
Let the reason come on the common tongue of your loving me
Writer(s): Andrew John Hozier-byrne
