Another Change Of Heart
Someone took pictures of the autopsy
Before they bought the whole thing down
The boats were in the harbour
When the circus came to town.
The mayor was in his pajamas
Because his mistress wore the pants
He was caught between a rock and hard place
Trying to catch up in the dance.
And while the band played mostly Souza
The audience often played their part
Because the maestro was having second thoughts
With another change of heart.
They often called her by her second name
It was traditional and to her, a trial
There were moments of rage and silence
Which was very much her Garbo style.
There was talk of an engagement
But she was not that way inclined
Her tastes, it was said more exotic
Which to some made you go blind.
In the silence that was now defeating
Filled her world now so very dark
If it wasn't for her many lovers
She'd have another change of heart.
You asked me did I know her
I presumed in the biblical way, you meant
Her face was quite familiar
In the photo that you sent
I may have had a change of heart
But how much and to what extent?
