Words have failed
To penetrate the softest skin
From day to day
All fast cars and penthouse fame
And at night
You lie awake with your softest sin
My words will fail
To penetrate what lies within

Your heart of gold
Or was it heart of lead
Will weigh us down
A pair too empty to even drown
And at night
We lie awake with our sorest skin
The words are frail
No relief from the deepest sin
