Lyrics

A long time ago, Daddy learned it from a master
His father taught him well, was a southern Baptist pastor
Dead man’s secrets falling from the pages
Pictures of his first bride, don’t know what her name is
Five minutes on the phone, we just talk about the weather
He avoids the truth, but he don’t know any better
And brother’s getting married to a beautiful man
But Daddy calls it sin, so he’ll never shake his hand
He’ll never shake his hand
Round and around it all goes
It’s written in genetic code
And where it’ll stop, no one knows
Keep quiet, keep quiet
It’s really a terrible thing
To be caught in the spirally ring
Of this frightening song that we sing
Keep quiet, keep quiet
Too much baggage not to be traveling
Now she’s eighty-five, and she ain’t unpacking it
Mouth shut tight like there aren’t any problems
‘Cause if she doesn’t talk, then she doesn’t have to solve them
She takes it out on Mamma, death grip on a grudge
And once she’s been drinking it doesn’t take much
The silence cuts deeper than any of her words
And it ain’t Mamma’s fault, but Mamma still gets hurt
Yeah, Mamma still gets hurt
Round and around it all goes
It’s written in genetic code
And where it’ll stop, no one knows
Keep quiet, keep quiet
It’s really a terrible thing
To be caught in the spirally ring
Of this frightening song that we sing
Keep quiet, keep quiet
Ring around the rosie, pocket full of stories
Ashes, ashes, we all fall down
Round and around it all goes
It’s written in genetic code
And where it’ll stop, no one knows
Keep quiet, keep quiet
I won’t kill that part of myself
My soul’s not so easy to sell
My stories are lifting the spell
And I’ll never keep quiet, keep quiet
Keep quiet
