lyrics

REINDEER DILETTANTE

There she is
Artist of the hour
At a counter in the café
A one-grey-haired sage
Half my age
Scrolling Ulysses
Chewing on vegan cheese
Here in my old haunt
What a dilettante
She’s off to the corner
For an avocado smoothie
Wearing what I wore in 1993
What’s she thinking she’s so groovy
She’s the cast of her own movie
Indie drama dark but funny
How does she make money
I want you want you to think that I have something
That I have something too
How do I make money
Determine who’s my honey
The book says keep it up ol' Mac
You’re obsolete unless you’re up and running
Give me airport bar downers
Slide that cock’n’tail down the counter
Gonna fly to Alaska to melt my cold heart
With the reindeer and my dilettantitis
I want you want you to think that I have something
That I have something too
