After a Fashion

After a fashion which is

Purely the mood that takes me

I'll set my mouth on fire

And kiss you till you blister

The tears I cry

Out overhead

Spell out a word

All for you

Watch the thin boy in dark clothes

Falling over pianos

Trips on the moving carpet

Plays like he's deaf and dumb and blind

The answer is

Quite obvious

Oblivious

To all but you

After a fashion

She's the answer

After a fashion

I'm the question
