Janis Ian - What Do You Think Of The Dead? lyrics

What do you think of me?
Is it something you really can't see?
Don't you wish that you maybe could be
On top of a star ha, ha, ha, ha, ha

What do you think of her?
Is she somebody like a bird?
Don't you wish you could speak and be-
I've heard all you've seen
How you have been hurt

What do you think? How does it ring?
What can it bring?

Will it make you any bread?
Maybe it will clear your head?
Perhaps you can steal it instead?
What do you think of the dead?

My lover brings me roses i lie by his knee
I worship the hours
Your lover brings you black orchids
You lie alone by the sea
You worship dead flowers

When are you going to grow?
Yes, that's something you really don't know
Would you like for me maybe to show
You how it would be?
Or are you frightened of me?

What do you think of me?
Is it something you really can't see?
Would like me to show you how it would be
If I were to leave? And would you agree?

What do you think? How does it ring?
What can it bring?

Will I make you any bread?
Maybe I will clear your head?
Perhaps you can steal me instead?
What do you think of the dead?
