All Smiles And Mariachi

(album: How I Quit Smoking - 1996)

I was watching your mouth move in and out
In little unexpected ways
Not hearing a word that you've said in over twenty minutes
On occasion I grunt and give you a knowing stare
Focused on what I hope is a pivotal moment

I went to the other house
I got the key from the guard and I let myself in
I knocked on the door twice and rang once
Could you watch this for me until I return

All smiles and mariachi
They're playing the dating game theme
We ordered some cheese dip, a tea, and two light beers
I feel I should be talking, rather saying something
Instead of nodding and eating most of the chips

My confidence is returning
I'm relating and remarking in an improved fashion
So much that I decide to stop on my way home
So much that I decide to stop for donuts on the drive home

I went to the last house on the list
I was relieved to find that my services were no longer required
They were no longer required
I was relieved to find my services no longer required
