Constant Conversations

.

Well you're wrapped up in a blanket

and you're staring at the floor

The conversation's moderated

by the noisy streets below

I never wanna hurt you baby,

I'm just a mess with a name and a price

And now I'm drunker than before,

they told me drinking doesn't make me nice

.

You never know where some people will go

Yeah some people been hurtin' me

You can tell by look, by the slightest crook

In the neck or the blink of an eye

.

Well then we'll see what they say

and we'll do what they do

But that doesn't mean a goddamn thing

You can listen if you want,

you can listen if you don't

Yeah they'll talk, yeah they'll even sing

.

Everybody now, oh oh oh oh oh

They come singing through the window,

singing through the trees, yeah

They're singing trough the bright spring leaves

Everybody now, oh oh oh oh oh

Yeah they love you when they need you,

but someday you're gonna need to

Find some other kind of place to go, oh

.

Now you're standing in the kitchen,

and you're pouring out my drink

Well there's a very obvious difference,

and it's that one of us can think

If there's a bump in the road yeah you fix it,

But for me I'll just run off the road

But tonight you've got me cornered,

and I haven't got a place to go

.

You never know where some people will go

Yeah some people been hurtin' me

You can tell by look, by the slightest crook

In the neck or the blink of an eye

.

Well then we'll see what they say and we'll do what they do

But that doesn't mean a goddamn thing

You can listen if you want, you can listen if you don't

Yeah they'll talk, yeah they'll even sing

.

Everybody now, oh oh oh oh oh

They come singing through the window,

singing through the trees

Yeah they're singing trough the bright spring leaves

Everybody now, oh oh oh oh oh Sing it loud, sing it loud

Yeah they love you when they need you,

but someday you're gonna need to

Find some other kind of place to go,

don't you know

Oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh
