Ascending Forth |
| Everyone loves ascending fourths |
| And everyone loves ascending fourths |
| Oh, everyone loves ascending fourths |
| And everyone loves ascending fourths, everyone loves |
| The paintings of orthodox monks on the wall |
| Impotent Mark puts his pen to forehead |
| Waiting for proof of his unquestioned gift |
| As three open windows bring air to his cheeks |
| The rest of him smothered in three sweat drenched sheets |
| With commission spent and date drawing near |
| And no newborn zeal or written ideas |
| A receding hum, akin to pink noise |
| Escapes his cerebral hand that toys |
| Miserably clutching, it never avails |
| Without resorting to kitschy entrails |
| To stand up tall and straight is to break one leg |
| Since last third quarter he has not got out of bed |
| Meanwhile, envoys follow the stars |
| And the arcs of the larks |
| Further north to collect the work |
| Promised to their employer noblemen |
| He tries in vain for one pure line |
| Under the weight of tired eyes |
| He slips into the warm, soft night |
| To drift carefree beyond imagined eyes |
| In dreams he finds a cure |
| That for now will suffice |
| Everyone loves ascending fourths |
| Everyone loves ascending fourths |
| Oh |
| The paintings of orthodox monks on the wall |
| Watch Markus spill ink freely on his finest scores |
| Sixty-five repetitions of ascending fourths |
| And day break — men arrive in droves and force the door |
| His work unfinished, they do not accept and throw him to the floor |
| He comes to in chains |
| Brought in front of judges |
| For testing good faith |
| To try, and to risk, and to fail |
| Unanimously condemned |
| His masterpiece schmaltz |
| Impure, no heart, no taste |
| But everyone loves, everyone loves |
| Everyone loves, everyone loves |
| Everyone loves ascending fourths |
| Everyone loves ascending fourths |
| Everyone loves- everyone loves ascending fourths |
| Markus ascends forth |
| In the heart of the common man |
| Everyone loves, everyone loves |
| Everyone loves, ascending fourths |
| Everyone loves, everyone loves, everyone loves |
| Everyone loves |
| Markus ascends forth |
| In the heart of the common man |
| Everyone loves ascending fourths |
| Everyone loves, everyone loves |
| Everyone loves ascending fourths |
| Everyone, everyone, everyone |
| Everyone loves ascending- |
