From the recording Late Night Elaborations
Lyrics
Why Didn’t You
Jenny Bienemann
Walking up a spiral staircase
Wondering if that was the top of your head
if it was then you could have seen up my skirt
I realized with glee and dread
If part of the question is why did I change
the other part is why didn’t you
The morning papers hang in your face
like dirty clothes in dead air
I take your favorite section and I cut it to bits
trying to provoke you to care
If part of the question is why did I change
the other part is why didn’t you
Oh the sleeping children, they don’t know
the things through which we go
and like sleeping children we adults are blind
to all but what’s in our minds
If part of the question is why did I change
the other part is why didn’t you
