So Tell Me Mrs. Lincoln Aside from That How Was the Play?

Lyrics for So Tell Me Mrs. Lincoln Aside from That How Was the Play?

Only the subtext, never the text Wish I could push a button for next Only the surface, never the heart When will the confab finally start? Nodding my head like a bobblehead doll Trying to smile, ignoring it all Don't interrupt, you'll just cause a fuss Hope I can catch the 10 o'clock bus So tell me Mrs. Lincoln, aside from that how was the play? So tell me Mrs. Lincoln, aside from that how was your day? Only the warmup, still not the game Every time exactly the same Try to drop hints, a glance at my watch A glance at my watch, while we slip a notch Why is the subject so hard to broach Must be a talent so hard to coach Stalling without strategic intent What should I try to give up for Lent? So tell me Mrs. Lincoln, aside from that how was the play? So tell me Mrs. Lincoln, aside from that how was your day? So tell me Mrs. Lincoln, aside from that how was the play? So tell me Mrs. Lincoln, aside from that how was your day? Putting all of that aside Putting all of that aside Putting all of that aside Putting all of that aside Putting all of that aside What lies underneath it all? What lies underneath it all? What lies underneath it all? What lies underneath it all? Wandering mind, meandering words I couldn't tell you any I've heard For the last hour, hour or two Now I retie the lace on my shoe Is this a breakup or is it not? All I can tell you, man, I am shot Don't interrupt, you'll just cause a fuss Looks like I missed the 10 o'clock bus So tell me Mrs. Lincoln, aside from that how was the play? So tell me Mrs. Lincoln, aside from that how was your day? What lies underneath, ignored?
