Slow Talker (Fast Walker)

I'm a slow talker but I'm a fast walker
I'm a slow talker but I'm a fast walker
I'm a slow talker but I'm a fast walker
And no news is good news and your blues is my blues
And what I tell you isn't much of a surprise

They divorced when I was seven
And we didn't waste a tear
He left my mom in fear
But we all grew up and strong
I searched him when I was twenty
Cause I thought I'd love him plenty
But I told him Go To Hell
And ran away

I'm a slow talker but I'm a fast walker
I'm a slow talker but I'm a fast walker
I'm a slow talker but I'm a fast walker
And no news is good news and your blues is my blues
And what I tell you isn't much of a surprise

Then I ran into this girl
And we spent a life together
I thought it'd last forever
Then she took the other way
She lost the ring I gave her
And then I heard she sold it
So I scratched her from my arm
And ran away

I'm a slow talker but I'm a fast walker
I'm a slow talker but I'm a fast walker
I'm a slow talker but I'm a fast walker
And no news is good news and your blues is my blues
And what I tell you isn't much of a surprise

This time we said 'I Do'
But the baby died inside
All I could was hide
So I left her on the bed
I cried myself a mirror
Then I almost had to puke
I spat into the pool
And ran away

I'm a slow talker but I'm a fast walker
I'm a slow talker but I'm a fast walker
I'm a slow talker but I'm a fast walker
And no news is good news and your blues is my blues
And what I tell you isn't much of a surprise
And no news is good news and my blues is your blues
And what you tell me isn't much of a surprise
