I Don't Know What We're Talking About (And I Haven't For A While)

(album: The Prophecy - 2020)

I picked you up at eight, my heart was racing
And now we're on our first date
You look so radiant, as we walk into the restaurant
You start to talk and then I smile and nod

You told me about your life
But I was lost inside your oceanic eyes
Our hands touched briefly as the light reflected off your golden hair
A strong electric charge was in the air

Now it's ten o'clock and the meal is done
But the conversation's just begun
You're fascinating, I feel blessed
But I have to be honest

I don't know what we're talking about
And I haven't for a while
And I don't know what we're talking about
And I haven't for a while

My eyes are open wide
You speak with passion, but I'm panicking inside
'Cause I've been daydreaming about a pterodactyl named Lamar
When he's tired of flying, he drives a car

He's got to get to work on time
His nursing job is on the line
His wife is always on his case
Why can't she give Lamar some space?

I don't know what we're talking about
And I haven't for a while
And I don't know what we're talking about
And I haven't for a while

I'm pretty sure you're telling me about your new job
I'm not absorbing anything, smile and nod
I'm thinking about ladders, if I tell you, is that odd?
Is it my turn to talk? You're looking at me (Oh God!)

Focus!
Focus!
Penguin in a costume!
How many Draculas are hiding in this room?
Marlon Brando was so very handsome in his prime
I'd make an awesome cop if I could stop committing
Crimes!

I don't know what we're talking about (I am totally lost)
I don't know what we're talking about (I, where am I?)
I don't know what we're talking about
And I haven't for a while (Lamar's gonna have to go back to night school!)
(Am I the only one who cares about this?!)
And I don't know what we're talking about
And I haven't for a while

Anyway...
Why don't you and I go back to my place and, uh
Oh
I see you left at some point
