Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD) are a British New Wave group formed in 1978, whose founding members, Andy McCluskey (vocals, bass guitar) and Paul Humphreys (keyboards, vocals), are originally from the Wirral Peninsula, England. The band rose to fame with their fourth single "Enola Gay", which became a major hit throughout Europe in 1980, and achieved worldwide popularity the following year with their third album Architecture & Morality.

She walks real slow
Talks like an animal
What am I
Supposed to do
I've tried to explain
My heart's not a radio
But I can't seem
To get to you

Face to face
Tears on a heart of stone
When she talks
I walk away
Seems to me
It's just a waste of time
These are words
I know she's heard before

She's the girl
I guess I'll always know
And I've tried
But she always seems to know

She walks real slow
Like an animal
What am I
Supposed to do
Her bedroom talk
Cuts like a razor blade
Every test
To put me through

She doesn't talk
For days and days
And when she does
She always says
That I act real slow
Behave like an animal
What am I supposed to do

And I've tried
But I just can't let her go
And I've tried
But she always seems to know
We don't make sense
Love and violence
