Problematic Art Of Conversation Lyrics - Singles - Leonardo's Bride

So there I was at the party 

And everybody seemed to be so well rehearsed. 

Come the time to play my part I tried 

But I couldn't find the page 

I stumbled through the scene 

And out the door onto the street 

And off the stage 

Now I'm thinking of marcel marceau. 

Marcel why is it so? 

In the problematic art of conversation 

I'm sitting down to t.v. 

Almost every waking moment of my time 

Now I find I eat I sleep I dream in hour episodes. 

It sure is hard remembering the names of everyone I meet 

So pardon me but who are you and am I wrong 

But are you talking to me? 

In the problematic art of conversation. 

So I watch the prince and princesses of prose 

Pissing in pockets everyday 

And it only makes me think of oscar wilde 

And the fickleness of pop, 

Popularity, 

If I had a silver tongue I would have sold it long ago 

While poetry is dandy, 

There are handier collectables. 

In the problematic art of conversation.
