telling it straight

from poacher's night by Tim O'Connor

/

lyrics

whose voice is in your head when you drift toward sleep
when all of your thoughts have just fled
then which words do you hear

talking to you
telling straight

what kind of a world is the place you populate with fools
whispering pigs-bladder-on-a-stick-stories
instead of listeng to who is

talking to you
telling straight

if you cannot hear your conscience
then you can never feel the warmth
of the true friend or companion
if you choose to ignore who is

talking to you
telling straight

take a long hard look at yourself
and tell me what you see
has all the fear you guarded helped to imprison
or set free
the child inside that's

talking to you
telling straight

do you seek some deep collision
between the truth and your denials
to become an armchair martyre
through anothers sacrifice

talking to you
telling straight

talking to you
telling straight
