Keep it quick, say it brief If it's fast, it will be a relief Short on time- that's a gift Count your seconds, and they'll catch the drift

Disparate parts, desparate hearts Pulled through a sieve Hand me a chart, so I know how to start to say "This is all I can give" To summarize seems incomplete How novel is a novel that can fit on one sheet It seems that I'm destined to fail To compress myself to the size of a thumbnail

Keep it quick, say it brief If it's fast, it will be a relief Short on time- that's a gift Count your seconds, and they'll catch the drift

Na na na, na na (catch the drift) Na na na, na na (catch the drift) Na na na, na na (catch the drift) Na na na, na na, (they'll catch the -)

Don't like what's revealed here When your depth of field's near, it's hard to come close Chip stones from the boulder Suddenly, my vulnerability shows, oh

You can crop and trim, 'till all that's left Is the essence of a presence that is feeling bereft Avant-garde, just the gist of a tale That is less of an image, and more of a thumbnail Keep it quick, say it brief If it's fast, it will be a relief Short on time- that's a gift Count your seconds, and they'll catch the drift
