Keeping up Appearances
Who else would be here, and why has he come?
There they are playing, new tunes for old friends
They're not just a pair, but add to the sum
No need to worry what message it sends
A shrug to go on, and carry this out
These perplexing thoughts are forgotten so soon
And now that he's gone, well so is the doubt
But something worse fills his space in the room
This feeling like something's got to give way
Under the stress of keeping up appearances
All the precarious moments that say
More than this complex and winding run on sentence
Now why is she here, to cut their time short?
They've made some plans and must leave right away
The room is all clear, there's nothing to sort
Except for that thing prolonging its stay
This feeling like something's got to give way
Under the stress of holding them together
All the precarious moments that say
That things have gotten much worse than they ever were
There they are playing, new tunes for old friends
They're not just a pair, but add to the sum
No need to worry what message it sends
A shrug to go on, and carry this out
These perplexing thoughts are forgotten so soon
And now that he's gone, well so is the doubt
But something worse fills his space in the room
This feeling like something's got to give way
Under the stress of keeping up appearances
All the precarious moments that say
More than this complex and winding run on sentence
Now why is she here, to cut their time short?
They've made some plans and must leave right away
The room is all clear, there's nothing to sort
Except for that thing prolonging its stay
This feeling like something's got to give way
Under the stress of holding them together
All the precarious moments that say
That things have gotten much worse than they ever were
