We Can Talk Lyrics

We Can Talk lyrics

We can talk about it now  
It's that 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's 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 ... , no trance  
It's safe now to take a backward glance  
Because the flames have turned to chalk  
We can talk about it now
