Pavlov's Bell

Oh, Mario,
Sit here by the window;
Stay here 'til we reach Idaho,
And when we go, hold my hand on take-off.
Tell me what I already know:

That we can't talk about it.
No, we can't talk about it.

Because nobody knows,
that's how I nearly fell,
trading clothes
and ringing Pavlov's Bell.
History shows
there's not a chance in hell.

Oh, Mario, we're only to Ohio.
It's kinda getting harder to breathe.
I won't let it show,
I'm all about denial
But can't denial let me believe

That we could talk about it?
But we can't talk about it

Because nobody knows,
that's how I nearly fell,
trading clothes
and ringing Pavlov's Bell.
History shows
but rarely shows it well.

Well, well, well

Oh, Mario, why if this is nothing,
I'm finding it's so hard to dismiss.
If you're what I need,
then only you can save me,
so come on baby give me the fix

and let's just talk about it.
I've got to talk about it.

Because nobody knows.
that's how I nearly fell,
trading clothes
and ringing Pavlov's Bell.
History shows
like it was show and tell

So tell me

That's how I nearly fell

by ringing Pavlov's bell

So, baby, show and tell
