In a Manner of Speaking

Tuxedomoon is an experimental, post-punk, New Wave band from San Francisco, California, United States. The band formed in the late 1970s at the beginning of the punk rock movement.

In a Manner of speaking
I just want to say
That I could never forget the way
You told me everything

By saying nothing
In a manner of speaking
I don't understand
How love in silence becomes reprimand

But the way that i feel about you
Is beyond words
O give me the words
Give me the words

That tell me nothing
O give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me everything

In a manner of speaking
Semantics won't do
In this life that we live we live we only make do
And the way that we feel

Might have to be sacrified
So in a manner of speaking
I just want to say
That just like you I should find a way

To tell you everything
By saying nothing.
O give me the words
Give me the words

That tell me nothing
O give me the words
Give me the words
Give me the words
