Kathmandu

Kathmandu
Our dinner burns, our leader speaks,
Berlin is on the line.
I haven't called Louise in weeks.
I'm sure she's feeling fine.
They're shipping beer to Belfast.
They're tossing coins to fight the flu.
Well, here you are
And so am I,
What are we going to do?
Jehovah's witness came today
But could not pick the lock.
She stood awhile, then flew away.
You'd think she'd learn to knock.
I'm shipping tea to China.
I'm sending crows to KATHMANDU.
Now here you are
And so am I,
What are we going to do?
It's not like we've become two prisoners
Chained by the ankles to this room.
It's just your classic case of his and hers.
Except this his and hers
Might just seal up like a tomb.
The TV hums, the newsmen talk.
A sense of things implied.
I read the papers like a hawk
For signs of life outside.
I'm on the trail of nothing.
And looking hard to find a clue.
Well, here you are
And so am I,
What are we going ...
What are we going ...
What are we going to do?
What are we going to do?
