You don't have to be afraid

You just have to make the leap of fate

I'm not thinking in quantum jumps

No I think in lines but I speak in lumps

When you say those things it seems so crude

Do you think you're clever ah you're so rude



Please don't talk to me when I'm talking to you

Don't talk to me when I'm talking to you

You're mouth's wide open and it don't become you



Now there's no need you don't have to be ashamed

I'm left standing in the shade

I say one thing, you say another

I've got insurance, I'm well covered

You seem so real but you feel so fake

I got it made when I'm on the make



Please don't talk to me when I'm talking to you

Don't talk to me when I'm talking to you

You're mouth's wide open and it don't become you



I keep feelin' I've been framed

You stitch me up now I'm tailor made

Time moves slow and I feel sick

Then you toss and turn stay up all night

Then you say those things and I don't know why



Please don't talk to me when I'm talking to you

Don't talk to me when I'm talking to you

You're mouth's wide open and it don't become you
