how do i get close

living in a world where the flesh is cheap. body touches body but it's only skin deep. i can hold you in my arms every time that you weep

but we've lost that emotional flow. living on a planet full of emptiness

with maximum exposure full of sleaziness

but the make up on your face can't disguise loneliness

where designer feelings are in vogue

what do they know?

darlin' darlin' how do i get close to you when i'm

trying

trying my heart is reaching out to you

how do i get close to you?

in this world without feeling

where words have no meaning

if i were lying

lying

i'd have more chance of reaching you but i'm

crying

crying

but i can't get my message through

how do i get close to you?

get close to the sinners trying hard to repent

get close to the homeless wasters and the innocent

get close to the souls ignored and forgotten by the

establishment. people get afraid to touch in case it rubs off on them

gotta get close

yeah people gotta stay close

close. people gotta stay close. though we seem together

it's breaking my heart. this world is full of barriers that keep us apart. keep it superficial before feelings can start

in a world that's all glitter and glow

what do they know?

darlin'

darlin'

i can't communicate to you without

crying

crying

i can't get a message through

how do i get close to you?

how can i get close?

how can i get close?

darlin'

darlin'

how do i get close to you when you're

surviving surviving in a world that's making us confused

guess i'm afraid of losing you. in this world without feeling. somehow we gotta stay close.
