Patio Talk (Big) Lyrics

Tonight you're telling me your best friend died

And you don't know if he got what he wanted, what we want in life

Did he ever get, does he ever get to, get to feel

Big, like he wanted

Big, like he wanted

You wanna feel

Oh, you say it's cuz the cigarettes can lie

For a minute, god, they really make you feel

Big like you wanted

And you know that's why

He had to breathe it in

Had to swallow everything

When you drink not tasting it

Big, like he wanted

Big, like he wanted

Big

You wanna feel

Will she ever get what you tell her?

You get it so thoroughly

Your confidante, you won't let her

Lack confidence like you see

You tell her that if you had your way

She's gonna pattern break

Tell her how to turn out, how to turn a different way

Big, like he wanted

Big, like he wanted

Big, like he wanted

She goes downstairs to say goodnight

She goes downstairs to say goodnight

She goes downstairs to say goodnight

She goes downstairs to say goodnight

Trade sleep to talk about life

Trade sleep to talk

Tonight I'm telling you the week you die

This patio where we talk is going with you to the other side

A lotta new cement, excavator rolling in

Dig, cuz you won it

Nobody else's

Dig, cuz you won it

I wanna still dig

She plays the audiocassettes in line

Just to hear him, god, they really make him as

Big as he wanted

And she wonders why

A deejay never knows

All around the world they go

No one quite as powerful

Big, like he wanted

Big, like he wanted

Big

You wanna feel

A daughter gets what you tell her

And she'll think so thoroughly

Your confidante for forever

With confidence that she'll reach

He said, "Your life is the only thing

That makes mine mean anything"

She said okay then, not just big

I'll make mine massive

Big, like he wanted

Big, like he wanted

She goes downstairs to say goodnight

She goes downstairs to say goodnight

She goes downstairs to say goodnight

She goes downstairs to say goodnight

Trade sleep to talk about life

She goes downstairs to say goodnight

She goes downstairs to say goodnight

She goes downstairs to say goodnight

She goes downstairs to say goodnight

She goes downstairs to say goodnight

She goes downstairs to say goodnight

Trade sleep to talk

She goes downstairs

Big

Big
