Small Talk Lyrics

Small talk and smoke signals

Strapped down with a johnny gown

All wrapped around her, loose and light

Under the knife



Clandestine, soft-spoken

Whispers now into an urn

She'll rock the gurney to and fro

As the rumors flow freely down



It killed you coldly keeping it in

Go tell your mother, your father, your sister and brother

Oh, but please don't tell me

I don't want to know



Small talk, they're talking in code

It's not a secret if everybody knows

Everybody knows



I'm gonna do what you told

Me to and sprinkle your ashes on the road

Your ashes on the road



It killed you coldly keeping it in

There's no use in pretending

And there's nothing more to talk about



So please don't tell me

I don't want to

Please don't tell me

I don't want to know
