Mid-Atlantic

[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

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

So undirected

Mild confusion

So Mid-Atlantic

[Refrain]

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

Firmly rooted

Well-established

Not Mid-Atlantic

[Refrain]

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

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

I don't enjoy it

But why fight it

So Mid-Atlantic

[Refrain]

Big talk, small talk

So Mid-Atlantic

Big talk, small talk

So Mid-Atlantic
