Body Language lyrics
by Róisín Murphy
[Verse 1]
Have you omitted to say
Those rubber bullets don't bounce off you?
Oh, incry, hear it in stereo
I'll cry after everything is done and dusted
I may convince bold and original
Forgive, what's that for when you're heading for the dance floor?
[Verse 2]
I'm here, go deep with those climb-downs
Branding me a heretic kind of infant-terrible
I risk I take it to the brink of it
Drop you like a hot potato, everybody turn a hater
[Chorus 1]
If you hear what your body says, learn body language
If I could speak, I'd call your name
If I could hear what your body says, I wouldn't change it
If you speak over to me
[Verse 3]
Between false and tragedy lies
A human emotion for hoping it'll turn out alright
Ah, di*kens, thicken now then chicken soup
And the way that you turn it will take you to the end of the line
[Verse 4]
But learn, speak it, that body language
Definition of wordplay, conditional love
You can't contemplate, impossible to separate
One from the other, your mother's, sister's, brother's lover
[Chorus 1]
If you hear what your body says, learn body language
If I could speak, I'd call your name
If I could hear what your body says, I wouldn't change it
If you speak over to me
[Verse 5]
Tied up for the foreseeable future
Had ended in the 70's science fiction motion picture
Back in the day, don't cut it now anyway
Quite a different animal, don't you wish you'd had a mission
[Chorus 2]
If you hear what your body says, learn body language
If I could speak, I'd call your name
If I could hear what your body says, I wouldn't change it
If you speak over to me
If you hear what your body says, learn body language
If I could speak, I'd call your name
