Problematic Art Of Conversation — текст песни (Leonardo`s Bride)

So there I was at the party
And everybody seemed to be so well rehearsed.
Come the time to play my part I tried
But I couldn`t find the page
I stumbled through the scene
And out the door onto the street
And off the stage
Now I`m thinking of marcel marceau.
Marcel why is it so?
In the problematic art of conversation
I`m sitting down to t.v.
Almost every waking moment of my time
Now I find I eat I sleep I dream in hour episodes.
It sure is hard remembering the names of everyone I meet
So pardon me but who are you and am I wrong
But are you talking to me?
In the problematic art of conversation.
So I watch the prince and princesses of prose
Pissing in pockets everyday
And it only makes me think of oscar wilde
And the fickleness of pop,
Popularity,
If I had a silver tongue I would have sold it long ago
While poetry is dandy,
There are handier collectables.
In the problematic art of conversation.
