Fluent Modern English Lyrics

When you look at me

You're all I see

Spelled out in fluent modern English

Will our exit wounds be clean?

Nothing too obscene

With two burned out voices left to sing with

I know you want to be

The fire and the sea

The cure that's poisoning the body

So when you get warm

And like glass transform

You'll tower over everybody

The stillness and the storm

The stillness is stillborn

It's only the storm that makes you hungry

But the storm won't budge

Until you know it's love

And you can't explain what makes it funny

Hey, ladies

Won't you love me like my mother never did?
