How Do I Get Close
Kinks

Living in a world where the flesh is cheap

Body touches body but it's only skin deep

I can hold you in my arms every time that you weep

But we've lost that emotional flow


Living on a planet full of emptiness

With maximum exposure, full of sleaziness

But the make up on your face can't disguise loneliness

Where designer feelings are in vogue, what do they know?


Darlin', darlin' how do I get close to you

When I'm trying, trying my heart is reaching out to you

How do I get close to you?

In this world without feeling

Where words have no meaning

If I were lying, lying, I'd have more chance of reaching you

But I'm crying, crying, but I can't get my message through

How do I get close to you?


Get close to the sinners, trying hard to repent

Get close to the homeless, wasters and the innocent

Get close to the souls ignored and forgotten by the establishment


People get afraid to touch, in case it rubs off on them

Gotta get close, yeah, people gotta stay close, close, close, close

People gotta stay close


Though we seem together, it's breaking my heart

This world is full of barriers that keep us apart

Keep it superficial before feelings can start

In a world that's all glitter and glow, what do they know?


Darlin', darlin' I can't communicate to you

Without crying, crying I can't get a message through

How do I get close to you?

In the world without feeling

Where words have no meaning


How could I get close?

How could I get close?


Darlin', darlin' how do I get close to you

When you're surviving

Surviving in a world that's making us confused

Guess I'm afraid of losing you, in this world without feeling

Somehow we gotta stay close
