Living in a world where the flesh is cheap.
|
Body touches body but it's only skin deep.
|
I can hold you in my arms every time that you weep
|
But we've lost that emotional flow.
|
Living on a planet full of emptiness
|
With maximum exposure full of sleaziness
|
But the make up on your face can't disguise loneliness
|
Where designer feelings are in vogue, what do they know?
|
|
Darlin' Darlin' how do I get close to you when I'm
|
Trying, trying my heart is reaching out to you
|
How do I get close to you?
|
In this world without feeling,
|
Where words have no meaning,
|
If I were lying, lying,
|
I'd have more chance of reaching you but I'm,
|
Crying, crying, but I can't get my message through,
|
How do I get close to you?
|
|
Get close to the sinners trying hard to repent
|
Get close to the homeless wasters and the innocent
|
Get close to the souls ignored and forgotten by the
|
Establishment.
|
People get afraid to touch in case it rubs off on them
|
Gotta get close, yeah people gotta stay close, close.
|
People gotta stay close.
|
|
Though we seem together, it's breaking my heart.
|
This world is full of barriers that keep us apart.
|
Keep it superficial before feelings can start
|
In a world that's all glitter and glow, what do they know?
|
|
Darlin', darlin', I can't communicate to you without
|
Crying, crying, I can't get a message through
|
How do I get close to you?
|
How can I get close?
|
How can I get close?
|
Darlin', darlin', how do I get close to you when you're
|
Surviving surviving in a world that's making us confused
|
Guess I'm afraid of losing you.
|
In this world without feeling.
|
Somehow we gotta stay close.
