Little empty-headed Michelle,
Where have all your thoughts gone?
Have they drifted to the bottom
Of a depth no one could possibly fathom?
Or trickled from a rift in your skull?
All the words you’d formed so nimbly
Seem to shrivel, turn to senseless drivel.
Although they may dismiss it as ridiculousness,
Every lapse and every slip,
Every slightly stuttered step
Make the things you’ve dreaded seem like a credible threat.
Isn’t it a pity, my dear:
Growing ever-dimmer?
Add the lemongrass and ginger
To the list of things you can’t quite remember,
Like phantoms slipping out of your sight.
Still, you stammer in the shadows:
It’ll come back, it’ll come back to me…right?
Although they may dismiss it as ridiculousness,
Every lapse and every slip,
Every slightly stuttered step
Make the things you’ve dreaded seem like a credible threat--
Seem like a credible threat.
Are you tired of feeling dumb?
Weary of this troublesome stuff?
Scared you’re becoming a burden
To everyone you love?
Well, just close your eyes, lay back, we’ll make a small incision;
And if all goes well
You’ll be blissful in oblivion
Even giddy, oh, but still empty-headed, Michelle.
Little empty-headed Michelle
Little empty-headed Michelle
