Longest of hallway and sparsest of light
A figure is dragging his feet through the night
He's pushing a carriage, the whimsical sounds
Hour for hour, he's making his rounds
He starts on the top floor, nonfiction books
Spirits of geniuses wherever he looks
There's Le Corbusier admiring books about trees
While Emanuel Kant meets philosophers from Greece
The librarian
The librarian
The librarian
The librarian
He nods to them all, goes further down the hall
Disturbing composers who are discussing the Fall
Next floor, big windows, and staring out he finds
Old Pharaoh Seti playing soccer with his kinds
He just continues through them, they all disappear
To him something mumbles, "Even Shakespeare was here"
But he puts old Platon back on his shelf
He passes John Lennon who is looking for himself
The librarian
The librarian
The librarian
The librarian
Somehow he knows what you could have been

In the fiction department, the not fully drawn
Are having a party, they're feasting on their own
He cleans up the mess and approaches the lobby
Where Frisch and Sid Vicious drink, that's their hobby
He puts on his coat and fishes for the keys
Opens the door and ... he leaves
The librarian
The librarian
The librarian
The librarian
The librarian
The librarian
The librarian
The librarian

Carrying on the torch next Monday will be the unique New York phenomenon Martin Bisi. Should you be new to this blog or ignorant of Martin's merits, google the man and you will enter truly legendary territory. I'm honored to be on the same bill with the man. Luckily, I'll be getting a little help from the unwavering Quentin Thor Luther Jennings, the eternally Burning Finger, backboned by Dave the Spine... we'll see. Considering the economic crisis, I'll mostly play songs about possible job opportunities - from the Fish Cutter over the Hand Model to the Parachute Tester. Here's one for the Librarian
