Lyrics We Meet Under Tables - Colin Newman

We Meet Under Tables

Of our own volition
Like cell division
Only one part smaller
The other is greater
It speaks and we marvel
We cluster around
As we see its position
Tales to tell children
Like what to say, where to go, who to know
We’re blind to the event
We take our places
A trio or duet
We meet under tables
We speak in short sentences
Derive any meaning
From any more statements
