He s got his work and she comes easy
They each come around when the other is gone
MeI think I got stuck somewhere in between
I wouldn t confide in the Prodigal Son
The die has been castthe battle is won
The bullets were blanksa double aught gun
I couldn t admit to a minute of fun

They come and they come and they come and they come
I accepted with a gentle tongue
No words spokenno need to speak

Take itstomp twicering the bell
Tether that ring and phrase
Enough with the rifle and talk already
We all know what it means
Take this conversation to your great divide
I can only swallow what I ate
And I don t hate him
And I don t hate her

They come and they come and they come and they come
I accepted with a gentle tongue
No heart brokenno need to speak

(Don t talk to me)
Don t talk to me about being alone
(Don t talk to me)
Don t talk to me about being alone
(Don t talk to me)
Don t talk to me about being alone

Reach for each other before you leave
Reach peace with a E-A-C
Don t threaten me with a gentle tease
Don t threaten me with angry
Pleasepleaseplease
Don t try to tell me what I am

(Talk to me)
Don t talk to me
(Talk to me)
Don t talk to me
