I am cold, distant, increasingly resistant to your smile And this I don't deny You are bold, beautiful, I'm always going to be in love with you Amphetamines or none You say give it to me straight Well, I already did There isn't anymore And what pale fire I ever had is gone But you don't want to hear that in a song Music in a foreign language Words that we don't understand Melodies won't come between us And even if you wanted, we can't sing along La, la, la I heard a voice resonant, born of Scandinavian descent I didn't comprehend a single word, sentence My stunted sensibility content To listen without words I'll try to give it to you straight My heart is almost full, there's not a lot of space And so forgive me if I'm less than awed By your world-weary twenty-six-year-old Music in a foreign language Words that we don't understand Melodies won't come between us And even if you wanted, we can't sing along La, la, la You say I'm dry a scientist No mate for the lioness you are Yes, I can hear you roar
