lyrics

Harlequin Press

at the harlequin press I met a girl in a blue wool dress
her manuscript in hand

confused and unprepared, I offered to help
I know an editor here, I know him well

she gave me her proof and I took it home
it was a promising, total mess

I helped her submit, we cut there and added this
I quickly fell in love

my friend rejected it outright, not enough sex and too much talking
right then she cut me off

a year had passed, she showed up at my door
she rewrote the book and handed it over

she replaced the songbirds with pornographers,
the love scenes with brutal murders
