NoMeansNo - I Can't Stop Talking Lyrics
I keep myself awake at nightI try to stop, but I can't fightThat voice that whispers ceaselesstyThe one that only talks to meIt tells me what I have to fearIt spits its venom in my earIt calculates and carefullyEnumerates its strategiesRound and round its loves and hatesIt endlessly reiteratesIt never stops, I've never heardThe silence of that final wordBut I've got to stop talking, I can't stop talking There is no stopping a brain that keeps talkingI know it's not healthy, I know it's not trueI don't even know who I'm talking to But I can't stop talking, I've got to stop talking All night and all day I have something to sayI drone on and on, though I know it's not true I've got to stop talking, I'm not talking to youThe truth around my tongue is curledA chain of words that binds the worldIn a fever, all IIs captured in my commentaryThe why, the who, the where, the whenLet me repeat them all agai nAnd then again my voice will singThe praises of it's babblingThe arguments that I dissectAre lucid, cogent and correctAnd if you foolishly objectI'll Gram each word back down you neck(chorus)If I'm the talker, here's the thing -Just who the hell is listening?And if I am not tongue but earsThen whos voice is it that I hear?I swallow, choke, and clear my throatHere comes another anecdoteA narrative of restlessnessOf what's been done and what is nextDoes it love me, does it not?Will this seduction never stop?Hear the clacking parrot's beakThat speaks and speaks and speaks and speaks-acap
