mute witness

• (bkz: morrissey)
  
  your poor witness
  crying so loudly on the floor
  oh, well, she's only trying to tell you
  what it was that she saw
  she is only trying to tell you
  what it was that she saw
  now see her standing on the table
  with her small arms flailing
  and you feel such compassion
  in your soul for
  your mute witness
  still testing the strength
  of our patience
  oh, well she's only trying to tell you
  what it was that she saw
  she is only trying to tell you
  what it was that she saw
  now see her pointing to the frisbee
  with a memory so fuzzy
  and her silent words
  describing the sight of last night
  4 a.m. northside, clapham common
  oh, god, what was she doing there ?
  will she sketch the answer later ?
  well, i will ask her
  "now dry your tears, my dear"
  now see her mime in time so nicely
  it would all have been so clear
  if only she had never volunteered
  "your taxi is here, my dear"
  la, la, la-la...
