Can you summarise all that in an easy to understand formula or flow chart of some sort?

For those who aren't King Crimson fans:

"Talk, its only talk
Arguments, agreements, advice, answers,
Articulate announcements
Its only talk

Talk, its only talk
Babble, burble, banter, bicker bicker bicker
Brouhaha, balderdash, ballyhoo
Its only talk
Back talk

Talk talk talk, its only talk
Comments, cliches, commentary, controversy
Chatter, chit-chat, chit-chat, chit-chat,
Conversation, contradiction, criticism
Its only talk
Cheap talk

Talk, talk, its only talk
Debates, discussions
These are words with a d this time
Dialogue, duologue, diatribe,
Dissension, declamation
Double talk, double talk

Talk, talk, its all talk
Too much talk
Small talk
Talk that trash
Expressions, editorials, expugnations, exclamations, enfadulations
Its all talk
Elephant talk, elephant talk, elephant talk!"

"Elephant Talk" from the album "Discipline" (1981) by King Crimson

I never wears no clothes
I wraps my hair around my bare

Where the rain gets in
But there ever so small
That’s why the rain is thin.
