No Talking

I wanna be entertaining

I wanna be the availing

I wanna be the one

That they all go to

But I don't wanna be preaching

Don't wanna be overreaching

I just wanna get in and out

And through

But it's all the same

And if you want

I'll play your game

But only for a moment

I take in stride

So just burn that flame

Keep a torch lit in my name

I'll stick around

'Til it's time to fly

Why must we talk about something?

When we can talk about nothing

I wanna steep in a silence

That's true and right

Let's do it all without speaking

Converse to every teaching

I wanna go out and live

And come home tight

I'll stick around

Or at least I'll try

I wanna be apathetic

And not so apoplectic

I wanna breathe in deep

And take it all in high

I wanna learn to be lazy

One of the gluttonous grazing

Without a thought for a soul

A self-centered sign

I'll stick around

'Til it's time to die
