I'm going to ask your friends your number, and I'll call you when your man is out of town.
And if I say the right word at the right time, then perhaps you'll even help me round.
And wouldn't it be a funny situation, the two of us and a comic conversation?
How's the world been treating you, you'd say? Try not to get involved in any way.
Have you been as clandestine free as how you said you'd like to be?
Comic conversation will pass the time of day.
When all the while I'm trying to reach out and hold you in my arms the way I used to do.
I cannot help thinking that you'll feel the same, but comic conversation rules the game.
I'd like to spin a web and wrap you in its silver thread and feel you sway.
Oh, but many years have passed and with them went the ride I ever had to feel this way.
Oh, there isn't going to be a happy ending. I think I should be going soon.
I can't keep on pretending. How's the world been treating you, you'd say? Try not to get involved in any way.
Have you been as clandestine free as how you said you'd like to be?
Comic conversation will pass the time of day.
When all the while I'm trying to reach out and hold you in my arms the way I used to do.
And I cannot help thinking that you'll feel the same, but comic conversation is the only way.
