10000 Maniacs - Don't Talk Lyrics
[ dennis drew/natalie merchant ]Dont talk, I will listen.Dont talk, you keep your distanceFor Id rather hear some truth tonight than entertain your lies,So take you poison silently.Let me be. let me close my eyes.Dont talk, Ill believe it.Dont talk, listen to me instead,I know that if you think of it, both long enough and hardThe drink you drown your troubles in is the trouble youre in now.Talk talk talk about it, if you talk as if you careBut when your talk is over tilt that bottle in the air,Tossing back more than your share.Dont talk, I can guess it.Dont talk, well now your restlessAnd you need somewhere to put the blame for how you feel inside.Youll look for a close and easy mark and youll see me as fair game.Talk talk talk about it, talk as if you careBut when your talk is over tilt that bottle in the airTossing back more than your share.You talk talk talk about it, you talk as if you care.Im marking every word and can tell this time for sure,Your talk is the finest I have heard.So dont talk, let me go on dreaming.How your eyes they glow so fiercely I can tell your inspiredBy 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.Ill discuss this in the morning, but until then you may talk but I wont hear.
