Waltzing Until Then: Play Dumb
Sexy cynicism
Procrastinates the schism
Between being sarcastic
And candid narcissism
And this is how the night will go
We’ll go out to a picture show
With our friends and some people they know
And talk until we meet Godot
Just to buy a little time
Just to buy a little time
Just to buy a little time
Just to buy a little time
With pretty boys and angsty girls
Columbines
Fingering the clasp of your purse
Reduce; reuse; get humbler
Recycled blues for some sister
Yesterday’s news in a tumbler…
(Chorus)
And she can roll with it…
She can roll with it…
She can roll with it…
She can roll with it…
We went out to the picture show
With our friends and some people they know
We watched the aliens explode
After blowing up our monuments
And after it was all over
We loitered on the theater stairs
And talked about a scene or two
And argued like we really cared
Just to buy a little time
Just to buy a little time
Just to buy a little time
Just to buy a little time
With pretty girls and angsty boys
Two towers
Jack and Jill break all their toys
Reduce; reuse; get humbler
Everything got real and not clever
Yesterday’s news in a tumbler…
(Repeat chorus)
She can play dumb
She can play numb
Cause nothing hits you when you keep it post-modern
She can play dumb
She can play numb
Cause nothing hits you when you keep it post-modern
When does the joke get funny?
When can we joke about it?
When does the joke get funny?
When can we joke about it?
Sexy cynicism
Procrastinates the schism
Between being sarcastic
And candid narcissism
Just to by a little time…
