Quick Words (Talk-Talk) - Jon Anderson

Sixteen, sixteen

Going on thirty-two

It’s a delicate time

That of knowing

Yet understanding nothing

Then being alone

Twenty-one

Be no clearer yet

Yet the first steps

Looking for the mystery school

Talk, talk is easy

Talk talk whatever it takes to know that

Talk, talk is crazy

Only can you be alive from looking within

Your heart and soul

Talk, talk is easy

Easily we get to coming

Easily we get to knowing

Quick words

Sharp tongue

Fascinate

Aglow

Bright sky

Quick words

See how

We fly

This storm

This love

Electrify

Quick words

We surely testify

Quick words, quick words

Quick words, quick words

Eighteen, eighteen, age of innocence

Thrown away to the wind

Just like a pilgrim

Twenty-one, be the key of life

Realizing how it suddenly is delivered

Shall we play the game, I ask

I’m willing to learn

Teach me of this wilderness easily

Walk me high as I walked the mountain

Hand in hand in mystery light

Afraid of nothing, nothing can touch me

Never speak to me

I’d be the dumb one of dreams

Made passive by this searching for wonder

It abounds all around the screens

It procreates this very day

I’m astounded that I didn’t know

Talk, talk is crazy

Talk talk whatever it takes to know that

Talk, talk is crazy

Only can you come alive from looking within

Your heart and soul

Talk, talk is easy

Easily we get to coming

Easily we get to knowing

Talk to me so clear

This bulge in our open space

Is dreaming by the spell by my seeing

Tis the sound of thunder makes me cry

I believe I’d laugh until I die

Transform all these messages of freedom

Distant as a distant star

He climbing the sky

Suspended on the waterfall of reason

He would shout the will to rescue me

And whisper words so easily

I’m eighteen and I don’t believe

I’m twenty-one and I cannot see

Listening in the power of silence

Talk talk is crazy

One word and I’m running for the President of Life

Talk, talk is easy

Just as if you’re meant to believe every word they’re saying to you

Talk, talk is crazy

Only can we find ourselves from searching within

Talk talk is easy

Talk, talk whatever it takes to know that

Talk, talk is crazy

Baby!

Just as if you’re meant to believe every word they’re saying to you

Talk, talk is easy

How we decide on the giving of power

Quick words

Sharp tongue

Fascinate

Aglow

Bright sky

Quick words

See how

We fly

This storm

This love

Electrify

Quick words

We surely testify

Cool wind

High clouds

Bright sun

My sky

Quick words

Sharp eyes

Do justify

This earth

This sea

This planet life

Quick words

We hear them

Everyday

Sing it to the south of me

Sing it to the north of me

Sing it to the eastern soul

Holding me in the western world

How we get along

This pilgrim’s way

In search of Castenada

And the worlds of tomorrow
