Lyrics - Player Piano by Seven Mary Three

(
For
Tom
O. and
Kurt
V.)
Play me like a player pianoroll me from the cornersof your dark and dusty shadows
Like a player piano,
I sit uselessmost of the time
The bar gets darkerit swallows up the scarlet
The barkeep?s looking thin
We sit togetheruntil only the pianoof the player remains
Tell me why you won?t keep it
Tie me up in a shoe-string box
She don?t keep it ifshe don?t need it
Get me out of the deep endmy legs are dangling over the roof
The room gets brighterwhen
I can see inside herwhen
I can turn the switch
But she?s so together
I can do the damage andshe can manage the flames
