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
