I can't help it if I talk funny I can't express the way I feel in spoken words Hold on But should I stumble on the right line, honey Be sure to tell me if it's one you haven't heard Hold on We hear the distant sound of a different drum As the rhythm takes control We speak in a sign language a secret code In a symphony of souls As we move to the silent music All the people stop and stare Dancing slow to the silent music Silent music, in the center of the town square I got a thousand ways to make your heart flutter Seven kisses guaranteed to leave you weak Hold on When I see you on the dance floor, sugar From every angle you're the best thing on two feet Hold on We got our language, a common thread Every gesture, every sign We got our own language that no one knows Heart to heart in pantomime As we move to the silent music And we stand high in the air Dancing slow to the silent music Silent music, in the center of the town square To an imaginary band in a make-believe town We can only hear the music when we turn it down I can't help it if I talk funny I can't express the way I feel in spoken words Hold on As we move to the silent music All the people stop and stare Dancing slow to the silent music Silent music everywhere As we move to the silent music To a force too strong to fight Dancing slow to the silent music Silent music, to the heartbeat of the night Dance to the silent music everywhere Dance to the silent music In the middle of the town square
