(For Tom O. and Kurt V.)

Play me like a player piano
Roll me from the cornersof your dark and dusty shadows

Like a player piano,
I sit useless
Most of the time

The bar gets darker
It swallows up the scarlet
The barkeep's looking thin
We sit together
Until only the piano
Of the player remains
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/s/seven+mary+three/player+piano_20123478.html ]
Tell me why you won't keep it
Tie me up in a shoe-string box
She don't keep it if
She don't need it

Get me out of the deep end
My legs are dangling over the roof

The room gets brighter
When I can see inside her
When I can turn the switch
But she's so together
I can do the damage and
She can manage the flames
