- Verse:
- ------
-
- The wretched desert takes it's form,

- D Dsus4
-
- I swear it make no sense
- A
-
- I reach out through the border fence
- Bm G
-
- Come down, come talk to me
- A
-
- In the swirling curling storm of desire
- Unuttered words hold fast
- With reptile tongue the lightning lashes
- Towers built to last
- Darkness creeps in like a thief
- And offers no relief
- Why are you shaking like a leaf?
- Come on, come talk to me
-
- Chorus:
- -------
- Ah please talk to me

-
- [verse]
- The earthly power sucks shadowed milk,
- From sleepy tears undone
- From nippled skin as smooth as silk,
- The bugles blow as one
- You lie there with your eyes half closed,
- Like there's no-one there at all
- There's a tension pulling on your face
- Come on, come talk to me
-
- [chorus]
- Won't you please talk to me
- If you'd just talk to me
- Unblock this misery
- If you'd only talk to me
- Don't you ever change your mind
- Now your future's so defined
- And you act so deaf so blind
- Come on, come talk to me
- Come talk to me, come talk to me
-
- Bridge:
- -------
- I can imagine the moment
- A
-
- Breaking out through the silence
- D/A
-
- All the things that we both might say
- A
-
- And the heart it will not be denied
- A D/A
-
- 'Til we're both on the same damn side
- A
-
- All the barriers blown away
-
- [chorus]
- I said please talk to me
- Won't you please come talk to me
- Just like it used to be
- Come on, come talk to me
- I did not come to steal
- This all is so unreal
- Can you show me how you feel now
- Come on, come talk to me
- Come talk to me, come talk to me
-
- I said please talk to me
- If you'd just talk to me
- Unblock this misery
- If you'd only talk to me
- Don't you ever change your mind
- Now your future's so defined
- And you act so deaf so blind
- Come on, come talk to me
- Come talk to me, come talk to me
