6.Lonesome Organist Rapes Page Turner
作詞:Amanda Mackinnon Palmer
He told me that I knew just what to laugh at
And I wanted to but I just couldn't ask him
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 that 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
Oh, oh, oh
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 it's funny when you're frightened
Oh, oh, oh
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
Oh, oh, oh
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'
