Singin’ in Tongues

(One, two, one, two, three, woah)

I was stumbling down first avenue
Feeling second-class crass from by head to my boots
Crushed like a can of empty promises
Trying hard not to spew some sorry excuse
But hey

As I rounded the corner on to St. Mark's
Saw a guy looked like Hendricks and sang like a shark
Biting words off whole like he hadn't eaten in days
But I couldn't understand a single thing he sprayed

But somehow his growl filled me up inside
Drowned out the squeals of my rusty mind
Well he looked at me hard like he knew what I needed
And the chip erased clear I could hear him screaming

Oh, don't worry, oh, don't worry
Oh, don't you worry son
I'm just singing in tongues

(La la la la la
Lo lo lo lo lo
La la la la la)
I'm just singing in tounges

(La la la la la
Lo lo lo lo lo
La la la la la)

Cleaned up my act just enough to get moving
Took a while but each mile seemed it was slowly improving
In the middle of the middle I spun the radio dial
To find nothing but static in that empty mile

I needed anything to fill my bottomless mind
And that radio was crackling out my need to feel silence
But just when I thought I'd rather run the car off the road
I heard a voice through the whine like a preacher's moan

Humming oh, don't worry, oh, don't worry
Oh don't you worry son
I'm just singing in tongues

(La la la la la
Lo lo lo lo lo
La la la la la)
I'm just singing in tounges

(La la la la la
Lo lo lo lo lo
La la la la la)

I finally found a warm place
I think I lost my demons
But sometimes in the distance
I still hear them screaming

I can't quite make out those infernal whispers
So I just pretend they're singing

Oh, don't worry, oh, don't worry
Oh, don't you worry son

I guess I lost a couple marbles in my big hurries
So if you can't understand me

Oh, don't worry, oh, don't worry
Oh, don't you worry son
I'm just singing in tongues

(La la la la la
Lo lo lo lo lo
La la la la la)
I'm just singing in tongues

(La la la la la
Lo lo lo lo lo
La la la la la)
I'm just singing in tongues
