He told me that I knew what to laugh atAnd I wanted to but I just couldn't ask if he would take it back so I could know for certainSo on the bench I watched his left hand crossingWhile doubling entendres with the voicingsHe said "O darling, you're charmingPlease don't find it alarming if I pull this stop out to free up a hand for heavy petting"Now there thereI'm a friendly manI joke about sex because it's funny when you're frightenedSo silently I sat and turned the pagesRecalculating our respective agesOver my shoulder, he muttered, "If I get any olderYou can hack my wrists off with your choice of objectsNo, I'm kidding"Don't be scaredI'm a friendly manI joke about death because it's funny when you're frightenedThis is as far as I could getHe jabbed a needle in my neckErasing all the evidenceBut there were matchsticks in my pantsAnd if a rock should hit my headSongtexteAnd I remember what he didYou'll be the very first to knowMaybe I'll find out why this damn thing won't stop bleedingHe told me that I showed a great potentialThat given I turned heads and pagesFame would be a piece of cakeBut practice was essentialSo like a stupid child I believed itAnd golly who would had agreed ifI had been Schubert or MozartDevoted to the fine art of perfecting absolutely everything inconsequentialDon't be sadI'll come back againI joke about trash 'cause it takes class to be enlightenedSo several decades have gone byI am still sitting by his sideI turn the pages faithfullyHe turns his head and smiles at meAnd with a wink he says, "I doubtWe would be anywhere withoutYour gift for keeping truth and consequence from meeting" Aus Songtexte Mania
