Mid-Atlantic

Ron Mael, Russell Mael

[Verse 1]
Can't we be a little more discriminating, Joe?
I mean, the face is really something else but listen to her crow
It wouldn't work out

[Refrain 1]
No common language
Quite a difference
So Mid-Atlantic

[Verse 2]
Can't we find a little more invigorating place?
I mean, the music really sends me but the talk is outer space
It makes me nervous

[Refrain 2]
So undirected
Mild confusion
So Mid-Atlantic

[Chorus]
Big talk, small talk
So Mid-Atlantic

[Verse 3]
There's the kind of person that you really ought to chase
A simple "How are you?" and right away you know they're from some place
Not unspecific

[Refrain 3]
Firmly rooted
Well-established
Not Mid-Atlantic

[Chorus]
Big talk, small talk
So Mid-Atlantic

[Bridge]
I couldn't place it, I couldn't face it
I couldn't place it, I couldn't face it
I couldn't place it, I couldn't face it
So Mid-Atlantic

[Verse 4]
Can't we be a little more discriminating, Joe?
I mean you've heard one Mid-Atlantic word you know you've heard them all

[Refrain 4]
What elocution
So Mid-Atlantic

[Verse 5]
Is there some academy a thousand miles at sea
Where I could learn to be conversive, I make no apology
It's not my favorite

[Refrain 5]
I don't enjoy it
But why fight it
So Mid-Atlantic

[Chorus]
Big talk, small talk
So Mid-Atlantic
Big talk, small talk
So Mid-Atlantic
