TWO VOICES

Words lie very still, pass the time
Then they follow you around
Words whose names no longer give them any right
They describe events happening
Something you've become
Slow melody, slow steady beat underneath
Oooh two voices, oooh two voices
Every year around Christmas you visit home
It's the only time of year she gets a chance to see you
It's warm enough for the beach, for a swim in the water
Your hometown reminds you how deep it runs
Slow melody, slow steady beat underneath
Oooh two voices, oooh two voices
Turn ‘em over again
After his time with her, after his time with her
All the history and his head
All the history and his head will disappear
Words lie very still, pass the time
Then they follow you around
You look around, you see a hundred regulars
Slow melody, slow steady beat underneath
Oooh two voices, oooh two voices
Oooh two voices, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
