Donkey talk 
I can hear the donkey talk 
Words chained out in a line 
Loads of reason not much rhyme 
Finger drumming beats behind 
Donkey talk most of the time 
The conversation peters out 
So you stare down at your shoes 
There's not much more to talk about 
When the silence is confused 
Then our eyes suddenly meet 
And we choose to look away 
That's just where we are today 

There's no sense in hanging round 
But we stand there all the same 
You find a verb I pluck a noun 
As the patience starts to strain 
Then our words suddenly clash 
As if there's so much to say 
That's just where we are today 

We used to stay up all night 
With our eyes all bloodshot and wonky 
We would hold each other tight 
And talk the back legs off a donkey 
But now I'm wearing its hat 
We can't even laugh at that
