Let's Leave the Greyhounds in the Slips
Past midnight, wasted all alone
Spent half the day today getting dressed to sit at home
And I know you're not a booty call over the sound of the Talking Heads
First you disappear, then you reappear
And you're not making sense
Hey
Can you talk to me
Can you preach to me
Can you talk to me, please?
Don't go, I'll tell you something (Why won't you tell me, baby?)
I just can't after the fact, no (Please, please)
Let's leave the greyhounds in the slips (Why won't you tell me, baby?)
'Cause if I don't know then I don't know
Well, that's that then
Our spats prove too much for me to bear
Our midnight chats end with cold and vacant stares
And do I hear raindrops calling the Mariana Trench
Or an ocean of tears that fall
Splat, bang, at the foot of my bed
Hey
Can you talk to me
Can you preach to me
Can you talk to me, please?
Don't go, I'll tell you something (Why won't you tell me, baby?)
I just can't after the fact, no (Please, please)
Let's leave the greyhounds in the slips (Why won't you tell me, baby?)
'Cause if I don't know then I don't know
Well, that's that then
What do you want from me?
A love from above or a whisper to steal?
Please, tell me, should I still breathe?
Should I believe?
(Shall I be sick or weak at the knees)
Shall I be sick or be weak at the knees?
Are you my id, indeed (Are you my id, indeed)
Or a terror, rose up from the deep (Lovecraftian and bleak)
(I) I need a rest (Rest), as second best
(You) You understand (Plan), to make plans
(Re-) We need to talk (Store), can we restore
(Anything at)
(Wait) Like a machine (For me), you wait for me
(Dropped) As I recall (The ball), I crumbled
(Qua-) I'm quarantined (Rantined) behind a screen
(I'll tell you after all)
With everything I didn't say, I'll wait for you, girl
To talk to me
To preach to me
So, can you talk to me, please
Don't go, I'll tell you something (Why won't you tell me, baby?)
I just can't after the fact, no (Please, please)
Let's leave the greyhounds in the slips (Why won't you tell me, baby?)
'Cause if I don't know then I don't know
Well, that's that then
No, don't go
Don't leave me at the door
No, don't go
I'll tell you everything, I'm sure
(Everything, I'll)
I'll tell you (I'll tell you)
I'll tell you (I'll tell you)
I'll tell you (I'll tell you)
I'll tell you (I'll tell you)
Oh, don't go, I'll tell you something
(Why won't you tell me, baby?)
Spent half the day today getting dressed to sit at home
