Talk Talk Talk Talk Talk

Lyrics
The women and captains are jesting in jewels With blue hair and bracelets brought back from Beirut The men are informal in Givenchy suits They got together on the mayor's patio For a seated dinner and a magic show They ain't very careful of the stones they throw They just talk, talk, talk, talk, talk (Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk) Yeah, they just talk, talk, talk, talk, talk And they don't say nothin' Yeah… The shifters, and losers and girls on the take At the barbeque joint down by the lake They stare in the mirror at each other's face The owner is nursing a bottle of gin The waitress is fading and slightly bent The jukebox is playing some country laments As they talk, talk, talk, talk, talk (Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk) They just talk, talk, talk, talk, talk And they don't say nothin' Oh yeah… The cartel is meeting behind closed doors To plan a campaign for the oil wars The Monarch of Lesbia now has the floor The bootlegger's ghost saws a Swiss banker's throat The hired assassin calls for a vote The chairman stares vacantly out the window As they talk, talk, talk, talk, talk (Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk) Yeah, they just talk, talk, talk, talk, talk And they don't say nothin' No, they don't say nothin' And they don't say nothin' (Talk Talk Talk Talk Talk Talk Talk Talk Talk Talk) (Talk Talk Talk Talk Talk Talk Talk Talk Talk Talk)
