We Can Talk lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics We Can Talk lyrics Songwriters: Manuel, Richard; 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 turnin you ve got to Keep the engine churnin 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 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 Oh, 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 Pulling 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 salt, no trance It s safe now to take a backward glance Because the flames have turned to chalk We can talk about it now We can talk about it now song lyrics
