Janis Ian — What Do You Think Of The Dead?

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] What do you think? How does it ring? What can it bring? [Chorus] 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? [Bridge] 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 [Verse 3] 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? [Verse 4] 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? [Pre-Chorus] What do you think? How does it ring? What can it bring? [Chorus] 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?
