lyrics

Just a dinner conversation; nothing more than some small talk. A movie coming out the Friday after next, we saw the preview before we left. "I don't think I'd like to see that one. It looks so violent and violence is so hard for me lately." And they passed a puzzled look that said, "Leave it there." But I pressed on; "What happened?" "Nothing." "What's wrong?" "It's just that... First National? A year ago? Well, I was there." "That was after we met... I don't recall you saying anything to that effect..." "You must have forgotten then."

"But there were no news reports, there were no casualties, there were no headlines or obituaries... there wasn't anything. But I believe you, love. You wouldn't tell me a story like that just to tell me a story, so I believe you."

Just a dinner conversation on the way home from the theater. (A tear jerker.) They were walking down Second Avenue and he paused to light up a cigarette. She swore she saw him talking to himself but god it was so windy that night. But, in the light of every inhaling breath, well, his face seemed to come alive. As they pressed on she seemed to sense something wrong; their conversation started slowly drifting toward that day. "What was that you said about a year ago? What was it... First National, I think? I've just been wondering

cause' there were no news reports, there were no casualties, there were no headlines or obituaries... there wasn't anything. But I believe you, love. You wouldn't tell me a story like that just to tell me a story, so I believe you."

Just a dinner conversation, "No, you don't understand sir. If she's not been taking her medication then she tends to get a little... well, I guess paranoid." She swore she saw him talking to himself before he told them, "That's quite alright. I know what I am getting into with her." And he took her by the arm to pull her aside. "I won't believe a word if you say that it's not true" and they pressed on, moving forward like there hadn't been a big to-do; excusing themselves and getting the hell away from there as fast as they could. But although they were gone they still couldn't shake that feeling that something was still wrong, though it was over and done."
