thank you, nowhere

[ variations on a theme ]

loose lips sink ships
and it appears I've sunk us both this time around
overboard, just a bit
and all I can do is sit around and whine to myself
I say

[why can't it just be you and me
singing, together, in perfect two part harmony?
why does it always have to be
this variation on a really stupid theme
that I've got stuck in my head
la la la la la love is dead
this variation on a theme]

I try to take it a step at a time
but it appears I've rushed ahead again
this happens every time and every time I
lose another really good friend

[chorus]

but it's just you and me
singing off-beat in slightly dischord harmony
why cant it just be you and me
singing, together, in perfect two part harmony?
why can't it be that instead of
la la la la love is is dead
this variation on a theme.

[ early 98 ]
