There are faces in the windows
Little faces with some education
And they are watching, with busy fingers
To see what they can expose
We have been building our holy silence
To keep ourselves in, free from disease
We don't talk idly, but when we do talk
We talk about enemies

This is a love song, and it is private
And private love songs are nobody's business
So keep your hands up, best to say nothing
It's best to keep well away
We have been mocking like puzzle women
Making crutches and history
We don't talk idly, but when we do talk
We talk about enemies

There could be cameras inside the fittings
But they see nothing, we quiet our own selves
I will watch you, and you will watch me
For any sign of dismay
We have been building our defenses
Let these be our small victories
We don't talk idly, but when we do talk
We talk about enemies
