Babble On Lyrics - Singles - Bottle Rocket

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 

I coil and I rattle, 

Then I Babble On 

Every time I add a line, 

I wish I could subtract. 

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 

Then 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 sun it is 

Sold out to the slander biz 

Gotta 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 

Then 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 

Then to let my babble Babble On 

Then to let my babble Babble On 

Then to Babble On
