Tables set with China dishes
We're welcomed in with tiny kisses
What's her name?
I don't remember
Isn't that the famous author?
Harry's gonna get some appetizers
Well, he's keeping out of range of small arms fire
Dina has a phone she says is working
Now she's crawling on the floor, across the kitchen
Something I should tell you but we are never alone
Tanks outside the bedroom window
We'll be ok with the curtain closed
The guests are fine behind the sofa
It's much too late, they should not go home
Something I should tell you but we are never alone
Up by dawn, already morning
I ask myself, “What is going on?”
Some tender words and sidelong glances
Are you ok?
Have you lived here long?
Underneath the stairway somebody's changing her clothes
Sweaters and a t-shirt, silk dresses cover the floor
Sit down by my side
Take my overcoat
When will we get out?
Maybe we will soon
Some of us losing it
Some of us breaking down
Some of us speaking out
Used to it now
Something I should tell you but we are never alone
There's something I should tell you and I've been waiting so long
When it's over with, going our separate ways
How about you and me?
Dinner for two
By the time the guests arrive, ooh, already it was dark outside Tables set with China dishes We're welcomed in with tiny kisses What's her name? I don't remember Isn't that the famous author? Harry's gonna get some appetizers Well, he's keeping out of range of small arms fire Dina has a phone she says is working Now she's crawling on the floor, across the kitchen Something I should tell you but we are never alone Tanks outside the bedroom window We'll be ok with the curtain closed The guests are fine behind the sofa It's much too late, they should not go home Something I should tell you but we are never alone Up by dawn, already morning I ask myself, “What is going on?” Some tender words and sidelong glances Are you ok? Have you lived here long? Underneath the stairway somebody's changing her clothes Sweaters and a t-shirt, silk dresses cover the floor Sit down by my side Take my overcoat When will we get out? Maybe we will soon Some of us losing it Some of us breaking down Some of us speaking out Used to it now Something I should tell you but we are never alone There's something I should tell you and I've been waiting so long When it's over with, going our separate ways How about you and me?
