FINGERS (mp3)
I've sworn off running my worn off fingertips
Over anyone else's skin
And when I see you again
I'll demonstrate
Some soul mate you are
You’ll only relate to me
So far
I'll sign off on the dotted lines
Across my fingers
I won't malinger
I’ll address the problem directly
While you quite correctly suspect me
Of hiding behind my work as an artist
Well you may be the kindest pianist
But you're definitely not the smartest
I've sworn off running my worn off fingertips
Over anyone else's skin
And when I see you again
I'll demonstrate
Some soul mate you are
You’ll only relate to me
So far
You’d say I'm just a singer
And my fingers are disposable
I suppose you suppose it's all a masquerade
But I played the piano once upon a time
And I'm disinclined to acquiesce
When you suggest
That a pianist with only a set of stumps
Would lack finesse
What would you know
About finesse
But I digress |
HANDS (mp3)
I remember how my heart would melt
The memory of it often lingers
But I can't remember how it felt
To hold your fingers between my fingers
The doctors try not to look surprised
They pretend to understand
They tell me to close my eyes
They place a baseball and a bow tie
In each of my hands
But I can't tell the difference
I miss you too much
I lost all of my senses
With the memory of your touch
I can't tell the difference
I miss you too much |
CASTRATION (mp3)
I understand your frustration
But for me castration
Well, it’s an evolutionary decision
I want to be more than just a breeder
I want to be a leader
And sometimes you just have to know when to quit
Why would I pass along these defective genes
They've caused me nothing but trouble
There comes a point when survival by any means
Is just not worth the struggle
You've always said that my erection
Could use a vivisection
But no one will castrate the rank and file
So I’ll have to become a pedophile
For the treatment I deserve
Why would I pass along these defective genes
They've caused me nothing but trouble
There comes a point when survival by any means
Is just not worth the struggle
I don't want to just stand around waiting
For that inevitable rejection
Really all I'm doing is accelerating
The process of natural selection
