[Verse 1]
Em
When stunted hand earns place with man by mere monstrosity
Em
Alarms are struck and shore is shook by sheer atrocity
G Am C E
A cure I know that soothes the soul, does so impossibly
Em C
A moment's silence when my baby puts their mouth on
Em
Me and my babe relax and catch the manic rhapsody
Em
All reason flown, as God looks on in abject apathy
G Am C E
A squall and all of me is a prayer in perfect piety
Em C
A moment's silence when my baby puts their mouth on me
Em
[Chorus 1]
Em Gmaj7
When the meaning's gone, there is clarity
C Am Em
And the reason comes on the common tongue of your lovin' me
Em Gmaj7
And it's easy done, our little remedy
C Am Em
And the reason comes on the common tongue of your lovin' me
Em
[Verse 2]
Em
What yields the need for those who lead us oh so morally
Em
Those that would view the same we do through their deformity
G Am C E
Who view the deed as power's creed, as pure authority
Em C
This moment's silence when my baby puts their mouth on me
Em
[Chorus 2]
Em Gmaj7
Since it all begun, to it's reckoning
C Am Em
There the reason comes on the common tongue of your lovin' me
Em Gmaj7
Be thankful some know it lovingly
C Am Em
There the reason comes on the common tongue of your lovin' me
[Interlude]
Em Em Em Em G G G G (x4)
Em
[Chorus 3]
Em Gmaj7
Like a heathen clung to the homily
C Am Em
Let the reason come on the common tongue of your lovin' me
Em Gmaj7
So summon on the pearl rosary
C Am Em
Let the reason come on the common tongue of your lovin' me
