We Can Talk Lyrics

We Can Talk lyrics

We can talk about it now 

 It's the same old riddle, only starting from the middle 

 I'd fix it but I don't know how 

 Well, we could try to reason, but you might think it treason 

 One voice for all, echoing along the hall 

 Don't give up on Father Clock 

 We can talk about it now 

  

 Come, let me show you how 

 To keep the wheels turning, you've got to keep the engine churning 

 But did you ever milk a cow? 

 I had the chance one day, but I was all dressed up for Sunday 

 Everybody, everywhere, do you really care? 

 Well then, pick up your heads and walk 

 We can talk about it now 

  

 It seems to me we've been holding something 

 Underneath our tongues 

 I'm afraid if you ever got a pat on the back 

 It would likely burst your lungs 

 Stop me if I should sound kinda down in the mouth 

 But I'd rather be burned in Canada than to freeze here in the South 

  

 Moving that eternal plough 

 We've got to find a sharper blade, or have a new one made 

 Rest awhile and cool your brow 

 Don't you see there's no need to slave, the whip is in the grave 

 No sulphur, no trance, it's safe now to take a backward glance 

 Because the flames have turned to chalk 

 We can talk about it now
