Love and Violence Songtext

von Orchestral Manoeuvres In the Dark

She walks real slow
Talks like an animal
What am I
Supposed to do?
I've tried to explain
My heart's not a radio
But I can't seem
To get to you

Face to face
Tears on a heart of stone
When she talks
I walk away
It seems to me
It's just a waste of time
These are words
I know she's heard before

She's the girl
Guess I'll always know
And I've tried
I've tried
She always seems to know

The morning after
But not before
I haven't slept
Worrying
I know I promised
To come see you
But now I have these
Things to do
All in all
It seems to me
You don't understand
Subtlety
Shall I make it obvious
Do you really want me to make up?

She walks real slow
Like an animal
What am I
Supposed to do?
Her bedroom talk
Cuts like a razor blade
Every test
To put me through

She doesn't talk
For days and days
And when she does
She always says
That I act real slow
Behave like an animal
What am I
Supposed to do?

And I've tried
I've tried
I just can't let her go
And I've tried
I've tried
But she always seems to know
We don't make sense
Love and violence
We don't make sense
Love and violence
We don't make sense
Love and violence
We don't make sense
Love and violence
