These Stones Will Shout — The Raconteurs

Well you impress me so completely I start obsessing to hear from you Whatever you do, you do sweetly It takes a lot to not take from you

You're not secure enough to tell me Your first impression of all these clowns So you'll be tricky enough to compel me To take the lead and to speak out loud (Yeah, ooh, yeah... oh...)

Speak to me and don't speak softly Talk to me and let me know Grab hold of my shoulder and tell me Grab hold and do not let go Grab hold and do not let go

And if you find yourself repeating Some of those incoherent sounds Just talkin' to yourself is cheating You might as well stick your head in the ground (Yeah... oh oh oh oh oh)

Speak to me and don't speak softly Talk to me and let me know Grab hold of my shoulder and tell me Grab hold and do not let go Grab hold and do not let go

I feel compelled to just yell out for you To say the words that you can't bring out But I cannot do everything for you And if I don't then these stones will shout Yeah if I don't, then these stones will shout Well if I don't, then these stones will shout (If I don't then these stones will shout)

So if I were to just lay in silence And see if you would take control These stones below me then may become violent And they will wrestle me, pester me, mess with me Just tryin' to free your soul

Speak to me and don't speak softly Talk to me and let me know Grab hold of my shoulder and tell me Grab hold and do not let go

Speak to me and don't speak softly Talk to me and let me know Grab hold of my shoulder and tell me Grab hold and do not let go Grab hold and do not let go Grab hold and do not let go Grab hold and do not let go
