By the time the guests arrive
Oh, already it was dark outside
Tableâs set with china dishes
Weâre welcomed in with tiny kisses
Whatâs her name? I donât remember
Isnât that the famous author?
Harryâs gonna get some appetizers
Now heâs keeping out of range of small arms fire
Vera has a phone she says is workinâ
Now sheâs crawling on the floor across the kitchen
Something I should tell you
But we are never alone
Tanks outside the bedroom window
Weâll be okay with the curtain closed
The guests are fine behind the sofa
Itâs 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 goinâ on
Some tender words and sidelong glances
Are you okay? Have you lived here long?
Underneath the stairway
Somebodyâs changing her clothes
Sweatpants and a t-shirt
Silk dresses cover the floor
Sit down by my side
Take my overcoat
When will we get out?
Maybe a week or so
Some of us losing it
Some of us breaking down
Some of us stick it out
Used to it now
Something I should tell you,
But we are never alone
Thereâs something I should tell you,
But Iâve been waiting so long
When itâs over with,
Going our separate ways
How about you and me
Dinner for two
