Houston Davis Jones - Course of Conversation lyrics

What are your friends other than Just some people you've known? There's all this weight on history But what the hell has it shown? What are these words that we share? Why do they mean so much to me? All these anecdotes and jokes Stories told won't set me free They want a face that looks and sounds sincere A mouth that talks (at times) and ears that hear With all the factors met and out of the way "How 'bout the weather, man?" and "How was your day?" I hear your voice it's got that tone Selling me 'you're my best friend' I ain't buying nothin' no There ain't no time now to pretend I wouldn't mind if you spoke to me With me too in mind But these monologues you spin Just reveal how truly blind you are You just want me to humor you Ask you questions while we eat our food But it's the same thing it's all been said Good conversations have all been bled
