I don't mind your cussing, walkin' like you do Same as I used to when I was young like you It never really left me, walking like I do Same as I used to when I was young like you And I don't mind your fussing, fighting like you do Same as I used to, with fists and words and booze Throwin' monkey punches, clickin piggy hooves Messy monologuing with the tongue I got from you But talk is talk, talk is talk is talk And I don't mind your drinkin', slurrin' like you do Same as I used to when I was up like you The mornin's bring messiahs, revelators too As grace in definition, somethin's pressin' through I don't mind your leaving, walking like you do Same as I used to when I was pissed like you Never really got me closer to the truth Further out of view of the way that I turned to Talk and talk, talk and talk and talk Talk and talk, talk and talk and talk But talk is talk, and talk is talk is talk Talk is talk, and talk is talk is talk
