silent partner
benatar, pat
background voices calling from a distance
static on the line of least resistance
the object of desire is seldom ever clear
i reach for you but all i hear
are the background voices calling from a distance
a lover without words is easily deceived
and rumors easily believed
the matter of obsession is seldom ever clear
in background voices calling from a distance
you know they don't say nothing at all
what about the things we never mention?
what about the things we never say?
will we wind up targets of affection?
exactly what to listen for
in secret service to the things they never say
the silent partners fade away
you know they don't say nothing at all
