The ends we'll share

we've been sharing a house on this island,
but we've been living apart for a while, and
the birds, they've been telling me what's the matter;
it's your wife, tell her to cool off, jump in the shower.

could it be that one of these
depressions is upon us?
could it be that one of these
threatened our perception?
could it be that one of these just might be the one to be
the beginning
the beginning of depression

we've been hearing a frown for the past few weeks
and we've talked all the dead ends right through our cheeks
we've asked all the right questions and why why not?
let's call it quits and shake our thoughts and hands.

could it be that one of these
depressions is upon us?
could it be that one of these
threatened our perception?
could it be that one of these just might be the one to be
the beginning
the beginning of depression

wait a second.
where do you think
you are going?
what do you think
you are doing?

wait a second, young man.
what do you think
you are doing?
and just where do you think
you are going alone?
