We can talk about it now
Well, we could try to reason
Publisher: DWARF MUSIC
Oh, stop me if I should sound
Or have a new one made
Everybody, everywhere
Rest awhile and cool your brow
It's that same old riddle
We've got to find a sharper blade
Songwriter: Richard Manuel
I'd fix it but I don't know how
It would likely burst your lungs
Come, let me show you how
Keep the engine churnin'
But I'd rather be burned in Canada
Pulling that eternal plough
No salt, no trance
Underneath our tongues
Only starting from the middle
One voice for all
Do you really care
I had the chance one day
But I was all dressed up for Sunday
Don't give up on father clock
To keep the wheels turnin' you've got to
Because the flames have turned to chalk
Than to freeze here in the south
Pick up your heads and walk
We can talk about it now
But you might think it's treason
It seems to me we've been holding something
Kinda down in the mouth
Don't you see there's no need to slave
We can talk about it now
We can talk about it now
But did you ever milk a cow
It's safe now to take a backward glance
I'm afraid if you ever got a pat on the back
We can talk about it now
Echoing along the hall
The whip is in the grave
