Qui Je Plaisante?
Michael Thomas Kinsella
Just tell me how this ends
I'm forgiven?
I'm forgotten?
I'm forsaken?
I'm forever on trial?
I'm still seated at the table?
I'm visited in jail?
I'm just another cautionary tale? (to no one's surprise)
O, I gotta know if there's an end
All the time I spent
posing
pretending
posturing
I could've learned another language
Or written more songs
I could've saved my marriage
Qui je plaisante?
You asked the questions
I answered honestly
What more could I do??
You forbade lies and despised the truth
Just tell me how this ends -
I'm forgiven?
I'm forgotten?
I'm dead?"
