[Verse 1]
Deep in the night
I can hear you calling my name
How can I try to help you woman
If you go on hiding your pain?
Baby, baby, the tears on your pillow are real
You can't go on pretending to me
When I see the pain that you feel
[Chorus]
A code of silence, it's a dreadful thing
It can make you feel harder
It can keep you hanging on a string
Here in the darkness
When I hear you calling my name
A code of silence, it's a deadly game
It's a deadly game (Speak to me now)
It's a deadly game (What's that you say?)
It's a deadly game (Speak to me now)
It's a deadly game (Mmm)
[Verse 2]
Lost in your dreams
Trouble on your face in the pale moonlight
Nowhere to run you've got to let me know
Where you are standing tonight
Baby, baby, baby
I know that you're hurting inside
Open your heart
I know that we can make it
If you talk to me now
[Chorus]
A code of silence, it's a deadly game
It can make you feel harder
It can leave you hanging on a string
Here in the darkness
When I hear you calling my name
A code of silence, it's a deadly game
It's a deadly game (Speak to me now)
It's a deadly game (What's that you say?)
It's a deadly game (Deadly game)
It's a deadly game (Ooh)
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
A code of silence, it's a dreadful thing
It can make you feel harder
It can keep you hanging on a string
Here in the darkness
When I hear you calling my name
A code of silence, it's a deadly game
It's a deadly game (What's that you say?)
It's a deadly game (Talk to me now)
It's a deadly game (Deadly game)
It's a deadly game (Talk to me now)
It's a deadly game (What's that you say?)
It's a deadly game (Talk to me now)
It's a deadly game (Deadly game)
[Outro]
It's a deadly game
It's a deadly game
It's a deadly game
It's a deadly game
