[verse 1]
there’s a man speaking to me in tongues
i understand every word he says
and i’m floating now, down, down, down
and i’m looking about trying to fix my gaze

[verse 2]
i see a man at your door with no tongue
and he’s pushing past you and he screams with his eyes
if you don’t open for me, i’ll break you down
i will take truth from you ’till you speak nothing but lies

[verse 3]
so i lie for a while by that old olive tree
[?] is waking with the bells at my back
but the fruit turns to earth in my mouth
and i’m dying in leaves [?] had trodden black

[verse 4]
now the tongues are speaking softly to me
and i wake from my dream as cold as the dead
and a voice in the dark says, what do you see
i say, lay your hand upon my forehead

[verse 5]
(she said, she said, she said)
she said she’d only have to take off her dress
and i’d stay tonight and bolt those heavy doors
i smile down at my drink and look back at wars
[?]
[refrain]
lay your hand upon my forehead
lay your hand upon my forehead
lay your hand upon my forehead
lay your hand upon my forehead
