Bobby Gillespie & Jehnny Beth - Stones of Silence

[Verse 1: Jehnny Beth]
Never somebody needing me
Never someone calling my name
I wish answers poured endlessly like water
From my elbow to my hand
I can provide for all your needs
My heart an open manger
My room is white from clear thinking
Tears have wiped all the dirty stains

[Chorus: Bobby Gillespie & Jehnny Beth]
Bitter winds find us
Blow us apart
Stones of silence blind us
Desire is a hunger
That murders the heart
[Verse 2: Jehnny Beth]
I'm pale there's black between my teeth
I danced all night to come back here
My brain is empty
I gave it all for nothing
My contribution walks away

[Chorus: Bobby Gillespie & Jehnny Beth]
Bitter winds find us
Blow us apart
Stones of silence blind us
Desire is a hunger
That murders the heart

[Verse 3: Bobby Gillespie]
Now in front of the TV set
I see grey suited men
Stuffing death in their wallets
Stuffing death in their wallets

[Chorus: Bobby Gillespie & Jehnny Beth]
Bitter winds find us
Blow us apart
Stones of silence blind us
Desire is a hunger
Bitter winds find us
Blow us apart
Stones of silence blind us
Desire is a hunger
That murders the heart
