Lyrics

The Positive Touch

She can't slow down maniac depression
Everybody gets called once in a while
She's even breaking down at the supermarket

It takes a positive touch
It takes a positive touch

Nervous tears of crying attention
Money
Lights inside her head
Breaking dreaming some distraction

It takes ...

She's screaming
In the night
There's no one to help her
There's no one to turn on the light

She's screaming ...

What she thought was strange was fascination
Yesterday it rained all day long
She can't slow down maniac depression

It takes the positive touch
It takes the positive touch
It takes the positive touch
