The Conversation - Hank Williams, Jr.

I love to find myself looking straight Up to you for the answers, for what I've found myself wrapped up in My own little world, cause you tell Me just to get through tomorrow Cause you know how it feels Yes you know how it feels When the perfect conversation Looks you in the eyes and says They get what you've been Saying this whole time You can look for confirmation all Your life, but you ain't gonna Find much better than this You stood beside myself when Everything lacked momentum You stood beside myself when I needed somebody who knows Who knows just how to tell me How to get through tomorrow Cause they know how it feels When the perfect conversation Looks you in the eyes and says They get what you've been saying This whole time, you can look for confirmation all Your life but you ain't gonna find much better than this How did you expect me to leave it When you know me more than I know myself The minute you're up for it I mean it Find a little moment in time, Instead of somewhere different for a while When the perfect conversation Looks you in the eyes, Forgot what you've been Saying this whole time You can look for complications all That you like, but you ain't gonna find Ain't gonna find, much better than this When the perfect conversation Sketch a little lie, just forgot What you've been Saying this entire time You can look for confirmation all That you like, but you ain't gonna find Ain't gonna find, ain't gonna find it

All I need from you is a good conversation, conversation 'Cause it gives me sweet inspiration And to tell you, I never felt this way before I know there is someway today Love your brothers Love your sisters And to tell you I must admit you've got me thinking There were times I thought that I was thinking But I always want to be in that position where I can see more clearly Now I must admit that you've got me thinking Love your brothers Love your sisters And to tell you I must admit, you've got me thinking There were times I thought that I was thinking But I always want to be in that position where I can see more clearly Now I must admit that you've got me thinking Love your brothers Love your sisters

Why all the distance in existence Join the resistance Come on, let's start by talking tactics With pepper-pots and matchsticks Here's how we practice the lost art of conversation David Jason - Francis Bacon - Frank Lampard It's gonna take some concentration But all the best things do There's a terrific neolithic tribe in the pacific They've got no cars, no televisions No money, no ambitions Just some pigs and some chickens And the lost art of conversation The League of Nations - The English Patient - Joan Of Arc It's gonna take some imagination But all the best things do Don't try this in public or they'll think you've gone insane And it won't be long before the men in white coats come To take you far away We had a comrade, a brave comrade He could talk for whole days But then he tried to be a hero Tried talking 'bout Jean Miro to commuters wearing earphones He almost die for conversation Hallucinations - Good Vibrations - Van Dyke Parks Greyhound racing - Steeple chasing - The Reformation Transubstantiation - Bram Stoker's creation The Land of the Thracians, and right back to the start It's gonna take some time and patience But all the best things do Don't try this in public or they'll think you've gone insane And it won't be long before the men in white coats come To take you far away, far away Well here they come
