He's got his work and she comes easy
   They each come around when the other is gone
   Me, I think I got stuck somewhere in between
   I wouldn't confide in the Prodigal Son
   The die has been cast, the battle is won
   The bullets were blanks, a double aught gun
   I couldn't admit to a minute of fun
  
   They come and they come and they come and they come
   I accepted with a gentle tongue
   No words spoken, no need to speak
  
   Take it, stomp twice, ring the bell
   Tether that ring and phrase
   Enough with the rifle and talk already
   We all know what it means
   Take this conversation to your great divide
   I can only swallow what I ate
   And I don't hate him
   And I don't hate her
  
   They come and they come and they come and they come
   I accepted with a gentle tongue
   No hear tbroken, no need to speak
  
   (Don't talk to me)
   Don't talk to me about being alone
   (Don't talk to me)
   Don't talk to me about being alone
   (Don't talk to me)
   Don't talk to me about being alone
  
   Reach for each other before you leave
   Reach peace with an E-A-C
   Don't threaten me with a gentle tease
   Don't threaten me with angry
   Please, please, please
   Don't try to tell me what I am
  
   (Talk to me)
   Don't talk to me
   (Talk to me)
   Don't talk to me
