The Ravens

Conversation Fails

Conversation fails,
Song descends the scale,
Drawn and pale, can you help me?

Do you hesitate
While I sit and wait?
Obfuscate? Of course you do.

Why did I ask?
Why did I ask?
Why did I ask?

Streets and news reports;
Eyes, they swim with thoughts,
To the retina, burnt in;

Wrecks your social scene;
You talk guillotines,
Cavalier and outrageous...

Why did I ask?
Why did I ask?
Why did I ask?
