The Touch Lyrics

Hear they felt it in Vienna
Some thunder with no pulse
The cemeteries grumble
The poets weep, they scribble verse
They shuffle down the streets
Their words come out in moans
It moves around like lightning
From head to toe
From feet to teeth
They feel it move in Paris
The locks they shake and bulge
The river runs more quickly
Thinking all that fuss is love
They skip through museums
They kiss on stranger's cheeks
The city begs your pardon
Every time I feel your touch

In New York everybody beams
Not because they give a damn
Your gaze is electricity
From hand to glove
From glove to jeans
When it's late and they're drinking
I know they feel it through the fuzz
The subway stops and starts
But they laugh out loud
They called your name they say

CHORUS
We wanted understanding but we'll settle for your touch
We wanted it on repeat babe but I guess we ask too much

Oh they dance in Chicago They do the Freddy Knuckle twist
They feel you there like energy
Finger tips in sequence dream
When we kiss there's a third rail
Got a pistol in their gloves
It's climbing off their coats
And in everything they touch they say

CHORUS
We wanted understanding but we'll settle for your touch
We wanted it on repeat babe but I guess we ask too much

I'm here
Just barely
I'm pulsing
I'm stealing for your touch
I'm here
Just maybe
I'm stealing
I'm waiting for

I'm here
(I'm leaving)
Just barely
(Just maybe)
I'm pulsing
(waiting)
Stealing for your touch
(Stealing for you touch)
I'm here
(I'm shaking)
Just breathing
(Just asking)
I'm kneeling
(waiting)
Waiting for your touch

CHORUS
We wanted understanding but we'll settle for your touch
We wanted it on repeat babe but I guess we ask too much

I hear they feel it in Vienna
Well my hand it feels your touch
