Slip Of The Tongue
JESSE HARRIS
A slip of the tongue
And everything changed
The silent walls talked and
The talking bird sang
A slip of the tongue
Like a boat on a reef
Broke open and spilled
Everything underneath
Don't tell anyone
You don't tell anyone
Then a slip of the tongue
Is over and done
A slip of the tongue
Is over and done
If to yourself
You can't be true
How can you expect
Somebody else to?
A slip of the tongue
Opened the way
To debts in your heart that you never paid
Don't tell anyone
You don't tell anyone
Then a slip of the tongue
Is over and done
A slip of the tongue
Is over and done
Don't tell anyone
You don't tell anyone
Then a slip of the tongue
Is over and done
A slip of the tongue
Is over and done
A slip of the tongue
Is over and done "
