he was a handsome musician   but he had an ugly scar   you could not see it on him   but you could hear it when he played guitar      naked and nervous silence   therefore conversation to abuse   stood between us like a parent   like a game we had to lose      he kept an eye on the door   and his back to the wall   his walk told of the time it takes for a man to fall      and i welcomed him into my closet   to meet the skeletons living there   in my twilight vacancy   i didn't care      we knew each other namelessly   as the rhythm came of age   he knew me like a blue note   and the lights went down on stage      he was a handsome musician   but he had an ugly scar   you could not see it on him   but you could hear it when he played guitar      i welcomed him into my closet   to meet the skeletons living there   in my twilight vacancy   i didn't care      he was a handsome musician   but he had an ugly scar   you could not see it on him   but you could hear it when he played guitar
