Thursday came and went
I was meant to go collect
Every shred of evidence from her
But I must have overslept
Maybe vaguely I just dreamt
I went to see her briefly after work
I sure do wish I could recall more of it
Remember what I said or who I was
I sure do wish I could recall more of it
But I don’t and I guess it’s all because
I sent my subordinate
Someone to take my place
I sent my subordinate though he wore exactly the same face
My understudy called
Read his lines and problem solved
Months of planning instantly fell through
Not that I’d recommend blatantly deceiving friends
But when I’m in the mood its all I do
Unaware I wasn’t even there
I was nothing but a silhouette
A time and place I couldn’t bear to face
Far easier to just send someone else
I sent my subordinate
Someone to take my place
I sent my subordinate though he wore exactly the same face
Was I paranoid or was I concussed?
No memory for me to trust
Thursday came and went
How the hell could I forget unless
I sent my subordinate someone to take my place
I sent my subordinate though he wore exactly the same face
I sent my subordinate now I really wish that I had not
I sent my subordinate don’t believe anything he said or thought
