When stunted hand earns place with man by mere monstrosity
Alarms are struck and shore is shook by sheer atrocity
A cure I know that soothes the soul, does so impossibly
A moment's silence when my baby puts their mouth on
Me and my babe relax and catch the manic rhapsody
All reason flown, as God looks on in abject apathy
A squall, and all of me's a prayer in perfect piety
A moment's silence when my baby puts their mouth on me
When the meaning's gone, there is clarity
And the reason comes on the common tongue of your lovin' me
And it's easy done, our little remedy
And the reason comes on the common tongue of your lovin' me
What yields the need for those who lead us oh so morally
Those that would view the same we do through their deformity
Who view the deed as power's creed, as pure authority
This moment's silence when my baby puts their mouth on me
Since it all begun, to it's reckoning
There the reason comes on the common tongue of your lovin' me
Be thankful some know it lovingly
There the reason comes in the common tongue of your lovin' me
Like a heathen clung to the homily
Let the reason come on the common tongue of your lovin' me
So summon on the pearl rosary
Let the reason come on the common tongue of your lovin' me
