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
