Lonesome Organist Rapes Page-Turner
He told me that I knew just what to laugh at
And I wanted to but I just couldn't ask if he would take it back
So I could know for certain
So on the bench I watched his left hand crossing
While doubling entendres with the voicings
He said "Oh darling, you're charming, please don't find it alarming
If I pull this stop out to free up a hand for heavy petting."
Now there, there
I'm a friendly man
I joke about sex because it's funny when you're frightened
So silently I sat and turned the pages
Recalculating our respective ages
Over my shoulder he muttered "If I get any older
You can hack my wrists off with your choice of objects, no, I'm kidding"
Don't be scared
I'm a friendly man
I joke about death because its funny when you're frightened
This is as far as I could get he jabbed a needle in my neck
Erasing all the evidence but there were matchsticks in my pants
And if a rock should hit my head and I remember what he did
You'll be the very first to know
Maybe I'll find out why this damn thing won't stop bleeding
He told me that I showed a great potential
That given I turned heads and pages fame would be a piece of cake but
Practice was essential
So, like a stupid child. I believed it
And golly who would ever had agreed if
I had been Schubert or Mozart
Devoted to the fine art of perfecting absolutely everything inconsequential
Don't be sad I'll come back again
I joke about trash 'cause it takes class to be enlightened
So several decades have gone by
I am still sitting by his side
I turn the pages faithfully
He turns his head and smiles at me
And with a wink he says "I doubt
We would be anywhere without
Your gift for keeping truth and consequence from meeting."
And I wanted to but I just couldn't ask if he would take it back
So I could know for certain
So on the bench I watched his left hand crossing
While doubling entendres with the voicings
He said "Oh darling, you're charming, please don't find it alarming
If I pull this stop out to free up a hand for heavy petting."
Now there, there
I'm a friendly man
I joke about sex because it's funny when you're frightened
So silently I sat and turned the pages
Recalculating our respective ages
Over my shoulder he muttered "If I get any older
You can hack my wrists off with your choice of objects, no, I'm kidding"
Don't be scared

I joke about death because its funny when you're frightened
This is as far as I could get he jabbed a needle in my neck
