What was that crack I made? Swung a hammer wrapped in suede
Like a lick from a lunatic beatnick, knock you senseless as I babble on
I strike between the lines, hissing words in serpentine
Back----biter with an appetite, I coil and rattle, then I babble on
BRIDGE
Everytime I add a line, I wish I could subtract
Too late too take it back
Conversations in veneer, Sand'em down they're insincere
Off guard, better check the cue card, Got ghostwriters for my babble on
So I communicate, Intending to humiliate
On attack with a cardiac comeback, You take shelter, I take babble on
BRIDGE
And if talk is cheap, the price is high
When I let another arrow fly
Better to be seen and never heard
Than to babble on with every word
PLAY CHORDS FROM ALL OF VERSE
What was that crack I made? File a claim with medicaid
All my rumors spread like tumors, tale and tattle, rant and rattle on
Ugly as the sun it is, Sold out to the slander biz
Gotta keep the tongue in line, Even fools seems wiser off the babble on
BRIDGE
And if talk is cheap, then why the thrill in an idle tongue that fires at will?
Better to be silent and be strong, Than to let my babble babble on
Than to let my babble babble on, than to babble on
