Speaking in Tongues Lyrics
1st Verse:
It’s a dark alley
Need a spark, ready
To leave my mark, bet he (never thought I’d)
Kick this hard in his belly
Make him barf, cranberry (jelly)
A dwarf I never met, he
Is just a bum I can dump in the swamp, he said he
Never caused harm to any
Frightened eyes looking at me
‘Time to die, are you ready?’
He said: “Why? Just let me—“
That’s when my knife gently
Pierced his skin, tears on his chin
I cheer and grin
People don’t get me
Real or lyrically
(Some) times it upsets me
(Spit) these lines repeatedly
My mind’s evidently
Fine but differently
Rhymes there’s plenty
Could pile ’em indefinitely
You can’t see
This shit’s too fancy
What I do’s simply
Screwing with you pansies
Right now you don’t really
Have a clue, don’t feel me
It’s cool cos honestly
It don’t bothers me
It’s a dark alley
Need a spark, ready
To leave my mark, bet he (never thought I’d)
Kick this hard in his belly
Make him barf, cranberry (jelly)
A dwarf I never met, he
Is just a bum I can dump in the swamp, he said he
Never caused harm to any
Frightened eyes looking at me
‘Time to die, are you ready?’
He said: “Why? Just let me—“
That’s when my knife gently
Pierced his skin, tears on his chin
I cheer and grin
People don’t get me
Real or lyrically
(Some) times it upsets me
(Spit) these lines repeatedly
My mind’s evidently
Fine but differently
Rhymes there’s plenty
Could pile ’em indefinitely
You can’t see
This shit’s too fancy
What I do’s simply
Screwing with you pansies
Right now you don’t really
Have a clue, don’t feel me
It’s cool cos honestly
It don’t bothers me
Hook:
Speaking in tongues
Cheledum cheledam
Just trying to get the pressure off my lungs
Pure gibberish but can you look beyond?
There’s more to it when I call you a cunt
Speaking in tongues
Cheledum cheledam
Just trying to get the pressure off my lungs
If you don’t get it, man, then don’t respond
Really, speaking it is all I want
I don’t understand what you’re trying to say, man
I don’t get it
2nd Verse:
I don’t give a fuck, I’m insane
Meet me in Dublin on Saint
Patrick’s day, dressed up in plain yellow
Give the O’Donoghues’s Pub a repaint
Arrogant fellow, expelled so
I’ma start a riot at the airport, no
Matter where I go, it’s bellow, bellow
So mean and evil, me just oh so cold
Knock a ho the fuck out with this cello, pedal
To the metal when I’m on the road, there’s no hold
Ing me, instinctively: full throttle
Throw an elbow and break ya nose
Break up a bottle and slit ya throat
Told you fucks I’m loco
So you should know how this shit goes…

Basically the song says that even though sometimes lyrics don’t make sense at first sight there is more to it, metaphors etc.
talking about reading between the lines…
