Dirty Talk

Mr. and Ms. Understanding
Do you know where you’re landing this plane?
You’ve taken the stage
You’ve given the grades
Just promise you’re not here to stay

Mr. and Ms. Understanding
Do you know if we’re calling this home?
You’ve made up your mind
You’ve taken your bride
Now what do I owe for your time?

I can’t stare in your eyes for too long
It’s hardly becoming of me
I never asked you for this
I was just a houseguest
I won’t miss you at all when I am gone
When I am gone

Mr. and Ms. Understanding
Do you know where you’re standing in time?
You looked straight ahead, then you come from the sides
You’ve got yours,
But damn,
Where’s mine?

Mr. & Ms. Understanding

And maybe I’ve been lost
But at what cost?
You’re selling me out for a lesser loss

And wouldn’t you have guessed?
Your mother’s depressed
She’s taking this worse than expected

It’s been a long, long day
What can I say?
Will someone make these children go away?

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again
There’s nothing left here to defend
The earth is sinking in the sea
There are bigger things than you and me
I’m counting sheep for invisible children

Love me sober as I console her
For some other reason in our some other hell
Love me sober
I can’t control her
I really think she’s given me the wrong idea…

What is it now? Are you really there?
Can I accidentally help you?

I’m just a statue of a burning man
To edify your country

There is no movement in your step
There’s no persuasion in your heart
The youth was wasted on the young
The earth is crashing towards the sun
And everyone seems colder than warmer, so…

Love me sober, as I get older,
Invisible gifts in our invisible world
Love me sober, I can’t console h

"What a voice! It's funny how Connecticut transplant Ryan Monahan opens his mouth to sing, but it's the jaws of the audience members that drop...think Jimmy Gnecco of Ours without all the overbearing darkness..." - Flagpole, Athens, GA

"What took Monahan years to create needs just 19 seconds to leave a lasting impression." - Abandoned Couches

"Radiohead, at their best, produced gorgeous ballads and quieter melodies that implored one to repeat-play the track over and over and over. I haven't felt that way since. But I listened to Monahans album this morning. Over and over. - Gymnopodie

"The ambitious voice of one Ryan Monahan makes this eight-song kaleidoscope an unmitigated success and a constant surprise." - Atlanta INsite

"Monahan is pure indie crooning, balanced by clever melodies and developed instrumentation. We're still amazed he hasn't landed on a film soundtrack yet." - Athens Music Junkie

"...Monahan has the swagger of a young Elvis Costello coupled with the lungs of Grace-era Jeff Buckley..." - David Lewis, Play New Haven
