Absolute Music

from Cliff Diver by A Modest Proposal

lyrics

Brain dead woman,

should have worn your seatbelt
— always said California
was the perfect climate for vegetables

Premonitions of a violent death
Daydreams of a private garden
— I don’t think so —
Wanted to sound like

an American girl

Twiggy little Russian
Working on your accent
The first one to stand up
To Madame La Touch
Five Foot Three
With just you stockings on
You said you’d rather die
In an automobile
Than in the choke hold
Of some vicious animal
— there goes another one
To the freeway

Toothy little Russian twig
Always asking how it sounds
When you say this or that
Well it sounded to me
Like absolute music

It was absolute music to my ears

Toothy little Russian twig
Took a hunk of flesh
Out of Regular Jim’s neck
They said you only missed
The artery by a thread

Then who showed up
But me and Josie and Jim:
The madam, the crybaby and the comedian —
How’d the doctor like that
For your next of kin?

Yes I will never forget
When the doctor walked in
Said he was going to take
You off the breathing machine
— it was absolute music to my ears

It was absolute music
To my ears

It was absolute music
