Incommunicado Lyrics

I wish the words would fail me just for once
(Just once)
Keep in incommunicado
(You don't say a word)
Look for the present tense and come to my senses
(Come pick me up)
Just like a desperado
(Ado)I talked for twenty minutes
By the time the party ended, you'd forgotten
I'm still thinking about it
Five years laterYou spoke an unfamiliar dialect
(Comme ca?)
Two and a half months over
(Over)
Next think, I knew someone had called for the check
(Check please)
And you were gone before I turned it overI dreamed we were alone all night
In a house made out of beds

And nothing happened
I think about it every time I see you
That's when I try to remember
There were never any terms we could agree toNow can I please have a moment of your time?
(Can I please have a moment of your time?)
For I have the strength to change my mind
(Read my mind)
