Testo Tall Tales

Tell us
Continue
Oh, they thought they were so clever
Desperation
Pick a face
There we're these two clowns
Twirling, twirling
Twirling, twirling Cheap disappearing tricks
Cheap disappearing tricks
Pick a face in the crowd and tell us what you see

Get inside and close the curtains they said
Get inside and close the curtains
Not me
Put on a movie of better times
There we're these two clowns

This is not supposed to happen to us, but to other people me
Not me

There we're these two clowns
Double scoops for everyone Pick a face
Pick a face in the crowd

Embarking on a prolonged negotiation to establish the nature of this new reality
A list of conversations that have been assessed as off limits
And telling tall tales
Denial and stunned silence
