Studying Politics

It's like a pencil with

Erasers at both ends

I want it all but

We're dealing in percents

And these activities that

You have engaged in

This is the politics of seeing

You dance with him

We began with concluding remarks

Pick up the pieces and

Examine the parts

Your words always cut

When their cliche

But here's my knife because

I came for the buffet

This is the way it goes

With you a part of it

Nervously saying words

That oh so tightly fit

A mark beneath the chin

I've caught you once again

It's in the way you sell

Every word and phrase

And leaving me to know

How much the meaning weighs

Saying that but meaning this

Using hands for emphasis

You'd like to think that

You're the best

Part of me

But I confess

There is

Nothing left of you here

Nothing left of you here

These parallels and silly games

Hide your face and say the name

Say the name say the name

This is the way it goes

With you a part of it

Nervously saying words

That oh so tightly fit

A mark beneath the chin

And I've caught you once again

It's in the way you sell

Every word and phrase

And leaving me to know

How much the meaning weighs

Saying that but meaning this

Your tears for emphasis

There's that smile again

There's that smile again

You fake it and

I follow you right in

What a fool again

To fall for it each time

This is the way it goes

With you a part of it

Nervously saying words

That oh so tightly fit

It's in the way you sell

Every word and phrase

And leaving me to know

How much the meaning weighs

This is the way it goes

With you a part of it

Nervously saying words

That oh so tightly fit

It's in the way you sell

Every word and phrase

And leaving me to know

How much the meaning weighs

Black dress

And your eyes are telling

White white lies

White white lies

Black dress

And your eyes are telling

White white lies

White white lies
