so tell me mrs. lincoln aside from that how was the play?

only the subtext

never the text

wish i could push a button for next

only the surface

never the heart

when will the confab finally start?

nodding my head like a bobblehead doll

trying to smile

ignoring it all

don't interrupt

you'll just cause a fuss

hope i can catch the 10 o'clock bus

so tell me mrs. lincoln

aside from that how was the play?

so tell me mrs. lincoln

aside from that how was your day?

only the warmup

still not the game

every time exactly the same

try to drop hints

a glance at my watch

a glance at my watch

while we slip a notch

why is the subject so hard to broach

must be a talent so hard to coach

stalling without strategic intent

what should i try to give up for lent?

so tell me mrs. lincoln

aside from that how was the play?

so tell me mrs. lincoln

aside from that how was your day?

so tell me mrs. lincoln

aside from that how was the play?

so tell me mrs. lincoln

aside from that how was your day?

putting all of that aside

putting all of that aside

putting all of that aside

putting all of that aside

putting all of that aside

what lies underneath it all?

what lies underneath it all?

what lies underneath it all?

what lies underneath it all?

wandering mind

meandering words

i couldn't tell you any i've heard

for the last hour

hour or two

now i retie the lace on my shoe

is this a breakup or is it not?

all i can tell you

man

i am shot

don't interrupt

you'll just cause a fuss

looks like i missed the 10 o'clock bus

so tell me mrs. lincoln

aside from that how was the play?

so tell me mrs. lincoln

aside from that how was your day?

what lies underneath

ignored?
