Don’t Talk (Live on MTV Unplugged) 10, 000 Maniacs

[Verse 1]
Don't talk, I will listen
Don't talk, you keep your distance
Oh, I'd rather hear some truth tonight
Than entertain your lies
Take your poison silently, my
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
It's the drink you drown your troubles in
There is the trouble that you're in now

[Chorus]
You talk, talk, talk about it
Talk as if you care
But when your talk is over
You 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 then you'll see me as your fair game
