All night restaurant, North Kildonan
BFEb
Luke warm coffee tastes like soap.
BFEb
I trace you outline in spilled sugar,
BFEb
Killing time and killing hope.
GFEF
This brand new strip mall chews on farmland,
GFEF
as we fish for someone to blame.
BFEb
But we communicate in questions,
BFEb
And all our answers sound the same.
BFEb
Under sputtering flourescents,
BFEb
After re-fills are re-filled.
BFEb
Negotiations at a stand-still,
BFEb
Spoon and rolling saucer stilled.
GFEF
If you ask how I got so bitter,
GFEF
I'll ask how you got so vain.
BFEb
And all our questions blur together.
BFEb
The answers always sound the same.
BFEb
We can't look at one another.
BFEb
I'll say something thoughtful soon,
BFEb
But I can't listen to the quiet,
BFEb
so I hum this mindless tune
GFEF
I stole from some dumb country rockstar.
GFEF
I don't even know his name.
BFEb
It's like my stupid little questions:
BFEF
The answers always sound the same.
BFEBFEbGFEF
Tell me why I have to miss you, so.
GFEF
Tell me why we sound so lame.
FFFBFEb
Why we communicate in questions
BFEb
and all our answers sound the same.
