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 "o 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 it's 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
