Lonesome Organist Rapes Page Turner Lyrics

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
[ The Dresden Dolls Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
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"

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
