Bone Orchard - I Can't Talk To You - 1990

From first record, "Bonafide"

ⒸⓅ Corcoran BMI 1990

I try to tell you what I'm thinking, I try to make it all so clear.
But you're too busy blinking and clarity's the thing you fear.
When black and white stares you in the face, you paint your world as some
some gray place,
Where there is no right or wrong and we can't survive like this too long.

I can't talk to you; no, I can't talk to you

You tell me that you need me and all those lines you feed me
Blur into a wall of sound that I can't get around.
And now I find no pleasure in the things we used to treasure,
And you just laugh it off, so now I'm jumping off.

I can't talk to you; no, I can't talk to you.

And now you're free to sit and whine about how life's so unkind,
And nothing you can do will change it
So why bother to rearrange it
When you can just sit there and fade away.

You say there is no reason, you say there is no sense,
And babble on and on about how life's coincidence.
And you believe everything you read but don't believe in what you say.
And you make plans for your tomorrows, but you're already history.

I can't talk to you; no, I can't talk to you.
