Vow of Silence

Lyrics

Well, I took a vow of silence in the spring While working for the PR firm They were good about it for a while Well, they finally had to let me go They said, "Your clients want to hear something positive But you don't say anything at all." I shrugged and I punched my last timecard Shook hands all around and left Vow of silence Vow of silence Vow of silence All day And I took Jean Staley for a lover 'Cause of how her arms did feel We looked each other in the eye We twist togеther like a pretzеl Jean Staley says, "I like the way you move." She says, "I like the way you don't crowd me." Jean Staley she says a lotta good things And I don't say anything at all Vow of silence Vow of silence Vow of silence All night And my silence went through the summer Clear to the fourth of July When everybody else was out screaming I was home staring at the ceiling But then I drove to Tijuana With a coconut and Jean Staley Intending to go see a bullfight That I missed when I went to Spain Vow of silence Vow of silence Vow of silence In the rain We'd already been to all the ballparks Seen the crappy teams play ball We'd spent our time at the racetrack Seen a couple ponies fall But now it was time to get serious See a man face death in the ring We took out own water 'cause it's Mexico The sun was hot and I kept my Vow of silence Vow of silence Vow of silence In the ring Well, maybe it was all about her hands Maybe the pictures she made Maybe that she is the only one That calls me by my name But for some funny, strange reason Jean Staley never learned how to crowd me So I keep my vow of silence And our love blooms like a desert Vow of silence Vow of silence Vow of silence Hey Vow of silence Vow of silence Vow of silence All night
