Silent Tree Music - Song Lyrics 

( Torture song lyrics )
HEY! YOU TALKING TO ME ?
Copyright © 1998 - mickterry.com

Communication is not your strength.
To get your answers, you'll go to any length.
Break all my fingers, smash all my toes,
kick in my kneecaps: what do you want to know?

    HEY! YOU TALKING TO ME?   I'm asking ...
    HEY! YOU're TALKING TO ME!

Rats in the corner, filth in the hole;
food, just a dribble in a grimy bowl.
How can I tell you what it means to me:
your tender feelings and hospitality?

    CHORUS

        As an ordinary tourist on an ordinary day,
        I didn't even hear the sirens
        before I'm 'cuffed and hauled away.
        Now a guest within your dungeon,
        I've tried to cooperate.
        But I do not know your language,
        so you talk universal pain.

Forgive my outbursts or if I seem rude,
but torture always gives me a defiant attitude.
Some trumped up charges, some brutal fears:
My next vacation, I won't be coming here!

    CHORUS   (x2)
