Lyrics:

Title: Don't Talk
Artist: 10,000 Maniacs
Album: MTV_Unplugged

Don't talk, I will listen. Don't talk, you keep your distance for I'd

rather hear some truth tonight than entertain your lies, so take you poison

silently. Let me be. Let me close my eyes. Don't talk, I'll beleive it.

Don't talk, listen to me instead, I know that if you think of it, both long

enough and hard the drink you drown
your troubles in is the trouble you're in now.

Talk talk talk about it, if you talk as if you care but when your talk

is over tilt that bottle in the air, tossing back more than your share.

Don't talk, I can guess it.
Don't talk, well now your restless and you

need somewhere to put the blame for how you feel inside. You'll look for a

close and easy mark and you'll see me as fair game.

Talk talk talk about it, talk as if you care but when your talk is

over tilt that bottle in the air tossing back more than your share.
You talk talk talk about it, you talk as if you care.
I'm marking every word

and can tell this time for sure, your talk is the finest I have heard.

So don't talk, I was sleeping.
Don't talk, let me go on dreaming.
How your eyes they glow so feircely
I can tell your inspired by the name you chose for me.
Now what was it? O, never mind it.
We will talk talk talk about

this when your head is clear. I'll discuss this in the morning, but until
then you may talk but I won't hear.
