Small Talk - Faded Paper Figures

Mapping out the Interstate

My finger prints a figure eight

We come around, we’ve seen this place

Before

And climbing up the empire state

You hold my hand and hesitate

A camera shot, we’ve seen this place

Before

We’re welded in gridlock

We’re watching the wall clock

All the literate small talk keeps us sane

We work by the windows

Feels soft where the wind blows

All the literate small talk keeps us sane

In cubicles we simulate

A broken wall, a city state

We’re lost in files, we’ve seen this place

Before

A counterculture elevates

We cross it out, we can’t erase

A sous rature, we’ve seen this place

Before
