Back bone
Back bone
Please don't leave me all alone
Oh my
Oh my
Listen to your goods boy
Run for your life
And what a fool I've been
It's only words in the walls
Words in the wind
They tell me everything
It's only words in the walls
Words in the wind
What's that
what's that
My love don't love me right back
Oh well
Oh well
You got my back bone
Take my heart as well
And it's a perfect sin
It's only words in the walls
Words in the wind
Fly away I leave your sting
It's only words in the walls
Words in the wind
She don't mean it
She don't mean it
She ain't speakin'
She's just sleepin'
Heart beat
Heart beat
Good luck pumping concrete
Oh well
Oh well
Listen to your backbone
Boy I'd run like hell
And it's a perfect sin
It's only words in the walls
Words in the wind
They tell me everything
It's only words in the walls
Words in the wind
It's so easy
It's so easy
and I'm leavin'
I'm leavin'
What a fool I've been
It's only words in the walls
Words in the wind
Fly away I leave your sting
It's only words in the walls
Words in the wind
