Don't Talk Songtext

von 10000 Maniacs

Don't talk, I will listen. Don't talk, you keep your
Distance for I'd rather hear some truth tonight than entertain
Your lies, so take you poison silently. Let me be. Let me close
My eyes. Don't talk, I'll beleive it. Don't talk, listen to me
Instead, I know that if you think of it, both long enough and hard
The drink you drown your troubles in is the trouble you're in now.
Talk talk talk about it, if you talk as if you care but
When your talk is over tilt that bottle int he air, tossing back
More than your share. Don't talk, I can guess it. Don't talk,
Well now your restless and you need somewhere to put the blame for
How you feel inside. You'll look for a close and easy mark and
You'll see me as fair game.
Talk talk talk about it, talk as if you care but when
Your talk is over tilt that bottle in the air tossing back more
Than your share. You talk talk talk about it, you talk as if you
Care. I'm marking every word and can tell this time for sure,
Your talk is the finest I have heard. So don't talk, let me go on
Dreaming. How your eyes they glow so feircely I can tell your
Inspired by the name you chose for me. Now what was it? O, never
Mind it. We will talk talk talk about this when your head is
Clear. I'll discuss this in the morning, but until then you may
Talk but I won't hear.
