Sing Into My Mouth

NOTE: This is heavily inspired by Talking Heads’ This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)

Choose a song, whatever it may be.
It will be fine with me, but you better know it.
Know it by heart.
Not as a performance of art.
I cannot take anything less.

If it is earnest, I will let you call me Ernest.
Sing into my mouth.
Do not stop to think, just sing.
Get lost in it, the less we say the better.
Let it resonate.

I am your microphone and speaker.
I will do my best to not give feedback.
Just taking it in, however it comes.
Just this I ask of you, give it the same way.
This is how I will know I have been domesticated.

Whatever song it may be, I know this must be the place.
