Babble On Lyrics - Singles - Guardian

What was that crack I made? 

Swung a hammer wrapped in suede 

Like a lick from a lunatic beatnik 

Knock you senseless as I babble on 

I strike between the lines 

Hissing words in serpentine 

Backbiter with an appetite 

I coil and 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 

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 

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 

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
