One Tongue - Hothouse Flowers

What in the world caused this distance?

And what in the world hurt our hearts?

And what are we to do about it?

And what are we to start?

We have an answer and it is language

It might be silence it might be words

It includes some understanding

And it includes the will to learn

To be talking, talking, talking one tongue

Talking, talking one tongue

And give us the strength to look straight at you

Let doubt be the furthest from our minds

So we can continue to be and know that we should be here

And we can see the light inside

And as it gets more complicated, simplicity must arise

So we can follow in this feeling

And we can keep this song alive

To be talking, talking, talking one tongue

Talking, talking, talking one tongue

Yes there are many, many questions

Yes there is red tape on the ground

Yes the simple truth can cut through anything

Just touch base and make this sound

I said yes there are too many questions

Yes there is red tape on the ground

Yes the simple truth can cut through anything

Talking, talking, talking one tongue
