Babble On

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

Backbiter with an appetite

Coil and rattle then I babble on

Every time I add a line I wish I could subrtract

Too late to 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

Every time I add a line I wish I could subtract

Too late to take it back

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

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 sin it is

Sold out to the slander biz

You better keep the tongue in line

Even fools seem wiser off the babble on

Every time I add a line I wish I could subtract

Too late to take it back

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

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

Than to babble babble babble on
