About Great Men

Talking to me
About great men
Talking to me
Late in the canteen
Who paid you to do that?
There are many equations set
Like how many plane rides will it take me to get
Within spitting distance of you?
Oh, but talk to me
About the rhododendrons on the trail
Even though I didn’t know there weren’t Oleander
That poisonous flower
What is it men think it can get them?
What is it I think I wanna give them?
A little conversation
Is it love that makes a great man?
Oh, I don’t want to talk anymore
Were we going to a dance
And leave chance to change?
Is that your hand on my hand?
