19th-century vis-à-vis conversation chair from France. Two back-to-back seats angled face to face so people could talk close up without turning their bodies or messing up their posture. A Victorian-era favorite for fancy parlors. Let bourgeois folks chat, flirt a little, all while staying proper on those stiff sofas. Solid wood frame, deep cushions, carved details. Total parlor game-changer back then. Still looks sharp today.

They ask me, "Is it goin' good in the garden?" Say, "I'm lost, but I beg no pardon" Up on the dice, but low on the cards, I try not to talk about how it's harder now Can I get a mirror side-stage? Looking sideways at my own visage, gettin' worse Every time they try to shout my real name just to get a rise from me Acting like I'm never stressed out by the hearsay I guess that's what I get for trying to hide in the limelight Guess that's what I get for having 20-20 hindsight Everybody wants eyes on 'em, I just wanna hear you sing that top line
