You Do Well to Talk

Without your veins old man
The pulse of youth throbs with no ardour
Your eyes full of rheum have against
Beauty closed their filmy doors
And your clogged ears have shut you
From the music of the world
You talk of love! You know not what it is

Oh in my time boy I have walked the moon
I've lived on kisses, swore I'd die for you
Wrote bad love verses and I sang them too
But you do well to talk, that's all you do

You made your bed old man
A life of lies, governed by charisma
Compartmentalize, to achieve
Your place waiting, on the throne, woah
Diplomatic ways, surely pay
For the rent of your superman status
You change your words! You make them pretty

Oh in my time boy I have walked the moon
I've lived on kisses, swore I'd die for you
Wrote bad love verses and I sang them too
But you do well to talk, that's all you do

You broke my heart and ran away with it
You broke my heart and ran away!
You broke my heart and ran away with it
You broke my heart and ran away!

I loved your veins old man
I loved, everything about you
But good people go, sell their soul
End up all alone, woah
I saw inside, you were alive
Once upon a sweet sweet time
I'm sad to say: Good-bye

Cause in our time boy we sure walked the moon
We lived on kisses, and I died for you
Wrote bad love verses and we sang 'em too
You do well to talk, that's all you
Oh in our time boy we sure walked the moon
We lived on kisses, and I died for you
Wrote bad love verses and we sang 'em too
But you do well to talk, that's all you do
