THE BEAST

"Professor Finch" Lyrics: Professor of Music for 15 years I used to write everyday But then I grew sick of noise from all my peers I just had to get away I’ll take a sabbatical and go away somewhere in the snow My writer’s block will dissipate Peace and quiet is apropos Music - my passion in life I need to get back to my roots Like magic - harmony is divine I just have to find the right groove Music - it keeps me alive It’s lure always has me seduced Like magic - hear melodies in your mind To create is a noble pursuit At first I thought I found the place It’s perfect with no one around But then i heard the noise - cacophony from below It’s coming from the town I took a sabbatical and went away to live somewhere alone The goal was to write through day and night Can’t concentrate in my new home Music - my passion in life I need to get back to my roots Like magic - harmony is divine I just have to find the right groove Music - it keeps me alive It’s lure always has me seduced Like magic - hear melodies in your mind To create is a noble pursuit I went down to the town the next morning to see if they would be neighborly and keep it down. It did not go as planned. All I got were dirty looks. They acted like I was a monster when I asked why they sang so loudly all day and night. Okay; new plan. I need to get noise canceling headphones! That might help! I went into every store in town, and all they could say was “Too late! You shouldn’t have waited until the day before Christmas Eve to try and buy gifts!” THESE PEOPLE WON’T GET THE BEST OF ME! I ONLY HAVE A FEW WEEKS LEFT TO FINISH THIS MUSIC! I’LL LOSE MY GRANTS IF I DON’T GET THIS DONE! I never did get it done. I lost everything. All they had to do was keep their voices down Now I’ll burn their gifts and trees to the ground LET’S SEE THEM SING NOW WITHOUT THEIR TOYS AND TREATS! I’LL WAIT FOR THE SCREAMS AND THEIR CRIES OF DEFEAT! Music was my passion in life But then it turned into a noose It’s tragic - dissonance of the mind I just couldn’t find the right groove (Music!) Their cacophonous singing continues… (Tragic!) It grows louder and more joyous every minute (Music!) They say my heart grew 3 sizes that day… (Magic!) …Not quite.
