Talk To Me Lyrics - Don Juan's Reckless Daughter - Joni Mitchell

There was a moon and a street lamp 

i didn't know i drank such a lot 

'till i pissed a tequila-anaconda 

the full length of the parking lot! 

oh, i talk too loose 

again i talk too open and free 

i pay a high price for my open talking 

like you do for your silent mystery 

Come and talk to me 

please talk to me 

talk to me, talk to me 

mr. mystery 

We could talk about martha 

we could talk about landscapes 

i'm not above gossip 

but i'll sit on a secret where honor is at stake! 

or we could talk about power 

about jesus and hitler and howard hughes 

or charlie chaplin's movies 

or bergman's nordic blues 

please just talk to me 

any old theme you choose 

just come and talk to me 

mr. mystery, talk to me 

You could talk like a fool-i'd listen 

you could talk like a sage 

anyway the best of my mind 

all goes down on the strings and the page 

that mind picks up all these pictures 

it still gets my feet up to dance 

even though it's covered with keyloids 

from the "slings and arrows of outrageous romance" 

i stole that from willy the shake! 

you know--"neither a borrower nor a lender be" 

romeo, romeo talk to me! 

Is your silence that golden? 

are you comfortable in it? 

is it the key to your freedom 

or is it the bars on your prison? 

are you gagged by your ribbons? 

are you really exclusive or just miserly? 

you spend every sentence as if it was marked currency! 

come and spend some on me-- 

shut me up and talk to me! 

i'm always talking! 

chicken squawking! 

please talk to me
