hear they felt it in vienna some thunder with no pulse the cemeteries grumble the poets weep they scribble verse they shuffle down the streets their words come out in moans it moves around like lightning from head to toe from feet to teeth they feel it move in paris the locks they shake and bulge the river runs more quickly thinking all that fuss is love they skip through museums they kiss on strangers cheeks the city begs your pardon every time i feel your touch in new york everybody beams not because they give a damn your gaze is electricity from hand to glove from glove to jeans when its late and theyre drinking i know they feel it through the fuzz the subway stops and starts but they laugh out loud they called your name they say chorus we wanted understanding but well settle for your touch we wanted it on repeat babe but i guess we ask too much oh they dance in chicago they do the freddy knuckle twist they feel you there like energy finger tips in sequence dream when we kiss theres a third rail got a pistol in their gloves its climbing off their coats and in everything they touch they say chorus we wanted understanding but well settle for your touch we wanted it on repeat babe but i guess we ask too much im here just barely im pulsing im stealing for your touch im here just maybe im stealing im waiting for im here just barely im pulsing stealing for your touch im here just breathing im kneeling waiting for your touch chorus we wanted understanding but well settle for your touch we wanted it on repeat babe but i guess we ask too much i hear they feel it in vienna well my hand it feels your touch
