Don’t Talk 10, 000 Maniacs

[Verse 1]
Don't talk, I will listen
Don't talk, you keep your distance
I'd rather hear some truth tonight
Than entertain your lies
So take you poison silently
Let me be, let me close my eyes

[Verse 2]
Don't talk, I'll believe 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

[Chorus]
Talk, talk, talk about it
You talk as if you care
But when your talk is over
Tilt that bottle in the air
Tossing back more than your share

[Verse 3]
Don't talk, I can guess it
Don't talk, well now you're 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
