Player Piano

Play me like a player piano

Roll me from the corners

Of your dark and dusty shadows

Like a player piano I sit useless

Most of the timeThe bar gets darker

It swallows up the scarlet

The barkeep looking thin

We sit together until only the piano

Of the player remainsTell 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 roofThe 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
