There's a very old expression
|
Called talking to the wall
|
And it means
|
You get no answers
|
Just stone silence
|
|
But walls have ears
|
And you can hear me
|
When I call
|
|
I can feel it
|
Feel it in my bones
|
You really mean it
|
It is not a hoax
|
|
Sham bam
|
Thank you ma'am
|
Not for you
|
You're bona fide... ah
|
|
You don't come on
|
In a trojan horse
|
No hidden wires
|
To make me fall
|
|
What I see
|
Is what I get
|
Straight and true
|
My solid wall
|
|
You keep my chin up
|
Stabilise my highs and lows
|
You're extra special
|
Nothing superficial
|
|
You see right through me
|
Rust
|
Cracks
|
Warts and all
|
Nothing changes
|
I'm the last word
|
In what you want
|
|
You're as solid
|
As a wall
|
And I can
|
Lean against you
|
|
I can tell you
|
All my troubles
|
And I know
|
You'll hear me
|
|
Walls have ears
|
You can hear me
|
When I call
|
Talking to the wall
|
