I Can´t Stop Talking

I Can´t Stop Talking

Nomeansno
(album: Dance Of The Headless Bourgeoisie)

I keep myself awake at night
I try to stop, but I can´t fight
That voice that whispers ceaselessty
The one that only talks to me
It tells me what I have to fear
It spits its venom in my ear
It calculates and carefully
Enumerates its strategies
Round and round its loves and hates
It endlessly reiterates
It never stops, I´ve never heard
The silence of that final word

But I´ve got to stop talking, I can´t stop talking
There is no stopping a brain that keeps talking
I know it´s not healthy, I know it´s not true
I don´t even know who I´m talking to
But I can´t stop talking, I´ve got to stop talking
All night and all day I have something to say
I drone on and on, though I know it´s not true
I´ve got to stop talking, I´m not talking to you

The truth around my tongue is curled
A chain of words that binds the world
In a fever, all I
Is captured in my commentary
The why, the who, the where, the when
Let me repeat them all agai n
And then again my voice will sing
The praises of it´s babbling
The arguments that I dissect
Are lucid, cogent and correct
And if you foolishly object
I´ll Gram each word back down you neck
