Sweet surrender on your slippery slide
I'm a street offender moving to the winning side
It scares me senseless that I'm tongue-tied and neglected
"Todo incommunicodo" - absolutely speechless
Back at Pete's apartment overlooking Portman Square
Lacking in the speech department reason why I'm there
Black stretch limo and a dodgy politician
Looking like a helpless dead duck, terribly bad luck
Going round and round
Barking up the wrong tree
Searching high and low
Underneath the back seat
Going round and round
Always landing upside down
Lost for words and never knowing what to say
Lost for words and does it matter anyway?
Lost for words 'cause when I think it's over
Always there going round and round
Going up and down
Going round and round
All this talking without a sound
I'm not urging any virgin
I'm determined to be patient
But it's hard to be pragmatic
When the train has left the station
I'm gonna need the service of the lexicon magician
Dancing on a very fine line
Definitely out there
Going round and round
Where on earth could I be?
Searching high and low
Running down a back street
Going round and round
Always landing upside down
Lost for words and never knowing what to say
Lost for words and does it matter anyway?
Lost for words 'cause when I think it's over
Always there going round and round
Going up and down
Going round and round
All this talking without a sound
Going round and round
Because I stutter and I'm tongue-tied
Searching high and low
I'm always living on the outside
Going round and round
Always landing upside down
Lost for words and never knowing what to say
Lost for words and does it matter anyway?
Lost for words 'cause when I think it's over here we go again
Lost for words
Lost for words and never knowing what to say
Lost for words and does it matter anyway?
Lost for words 'cause when I think it's over
Lost for words 'cause when I think it's over
Lost for words
Always there going round and round
Going up and down
Going round and round
All this talking without a sound
