Lonesome Organist Rapes Page-Turner

Текст песни The Dresden Dolls - 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
Ha-ha-ha-ha
Ha-ha

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
Ha-ha-ha-ha
Ha-ha

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, ow!

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
Ha-ha-ha-ha
Ha-ha

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," ow!
