Babble on

What was that crack I made? Swung a hammer wrapped in suede Like a lick from a lunatic beatnick, knock you senseless as I babble on I strike between the lines, hissing words in serpentine Back----biter with an appetite, I coil and rattle, then I babble on BRIDGE Everytime I add a line, I wish I could subtract Too late too take it back Conversations in veneer, Sand’em down they’re insincere Off guard, better check the cue card, Got ghostwriters for my babble on So I communicate, Intending to humiliate On attack with a cardiac comeback, You take shelter, I take babble on BRIDGE CHORUS And if talk is cheap, the price is high When I let another arrow fly Better to be seen and never heard Than to babble on with every word PLAY CHORDS FROM ALL OF VERSE What was that crack I made? File a claim with medicaid All my rumors spread like tumors, tale and tattle, rant and rattle on Ugly as the sun it is, Sold out to the slander biz Gotta keep the tongue in line, Even fools seems wiser off the babble on BRIDGE CHORUS And if talk is cheap, then why the thrill in an idle tongue that fires at will? Better to be silent and be strong, Than to let my babble babble on Than to let my babble babble on, than to babble on
