When stunted hammers place With men my mere monstrosity Alarms are struck I'm sure I'm sure by sheer atrocity A cure I know that soothes The soul, the soul impossibly A moment's silence when My baby puts her mouth on Me and my babe relaxing Catching manic rhapsody All reason flown, as God Looks on in abject apathy A swollen order means A prayer in perfect parody A moment's silence when My baby puts her mouth on me When the meaning's gone There is clarity And the reason comes In the common tongue In you lovin' me And it's easy, darling I don't need a remedy And the reason comes In the common tongue In you lovin' me What yields the need for those who lead us oh so morally Those that would view the sin we do through their deformity Who view the deed as power's creed is pure authority This moment's silence when my baby Puts her mouth on me Since it's all been gone To it's reckoning Then the reason comes In the common tongue In you lovin' me We begged for some Now we lovingly Let the reason come In the common tongue In you lovin' me (woo) Like a heathen clung To the harmony Let the reason come To the common tongue Of you lovin' me It's a silent night upon the rosary Let the reason come In the common tongue In you lovin' me
