Change The Way You Talk

Well do not deny the painful, the wise The black horseflies buzzing 'round your ears Embrace your M.O., brand new round gold The ways you've made up for all your lost years Tell him you love him, never acting above him And you finally have broke yourself down Your friends will ask, "Why did you stop?" And I'll bet you change the way you talk Bet you change the way you talk Childhood was firewood for what you burnt up In that city apartment alone The lost good of I could've, I know I stood there So cold and quiet like a stone Dry heaving in the backseat Never got rich off the songs that he sings But this guitar player still dreams you into a waltz So I bet you change the way you talk Bet you change the way you talk Street talk, small talk, blinded like a shortstop Falling back into the glare He's bleeding, he's dying, ain't nobody buying it But you, and you just don't care Why do you cover your eyes Every time I appear? Just don't tell 'em that it's all your fault I bet you change the way you talk I bet you change the way you talk I bet you change the way you talk I bet you change the way you talk
