"Talk Cheap, Die Broke" lyrics

"Talk Cheap, Die Broke"

I've always been a quiet case
Gave too much time and too much space
A shoulder-cold-side pillowcase
But I still slept alright

Yeah, I'd look down on looser lips
While rooms were full of sinking ships
My disposition you eclipsed
When you asked for a light

And you kept on your purple shades
And you passed me some pink champagne
And words I didn't know I'd say
Came pouring out like April rain

Now I can't
I can't stop
I can't stop talking
I can't stop talking to you

I feel my tongue untying
You make my thoughts go flying
I'll break my vow of silence
I feel my heart in my throat

Strike up conversations like they're matches
I know I need a little practice
Words like the money in my mattress
So, even if I'm blowing smoke
If talk's cheap, I wanna die broke (Broke, broke, broke)

If talk's cheap, I wanna die broke (Broke, broke, broke)

I'll show you every flaw in me
I'll tell you about all of me
The things nobody saw in me
That I kept in the dark

All my complicated views
The color of my childhood room
Yeah, I'd hold back, but what's the use?
'Cause, baby, once I start

I can't
I can't stop
I can't stop talking
I can't stop talking to you

I feel my tongue untying
You make my thoughts go flying
I'll break my vow of silence
I feel my heart in my throat

Strike up conversations like they're matches
I know I need a little practice
Words like the money in my mattress
So, even if I'm blowing smoke
If talk's cheap, I wanna die broke (Broke, broke, broke)

I can't stop talking to you
(I can't, I can't stop, I can't stop talking, I can't stop talking to you)
I can't stop talking to you
(I can't, I can't stop, I can't stop talking, I can't stop talking to you)

I feel my tongue untying
You make my thoughts go flying
I'll break my vow of silence
I feel my heart in my throat

Strike up conversations like they're matches
(I can't stop talking to you)
I know I need a little practice
Words like the money in my mattress
(I can't stop talking to you)
So, even if I'm blowing smoke
If talk's cheap, I wanna die broke

I can't
I can't stop
I can't stop talking
I can't stop talking to you

I can't
I can't stop
I can't stop talking
I can't-can't-can't stop
