Mr. E. Leon Rauis - Lyrics by Rasputina


Lyrics
I keep pictures of him in my mind yeah youknow the     kind they curl up on the edges, the cornersare bended     into a trickpulled from behind.     Physically he is serene he looks good helooks     clean yeah I know he's dead but I know whathe     said and I think I might know what he mean.     With many thanks for your well, well wisheshe says     believe me, sincerely yours     Mr. E Leon Rauis would say     it's sentiment which he abhors.     Seventeen Union Square North did he walk backand     forth in the glass at the shop did he smiledid he     stop for awhile did he question his worth?     Seventeen Union Square West dressed uplooking his best     Mr. E. Leon Rauis could never know     how this would seem his one small request.     With many thanks for your well, well wisheshe says     believe me, sincerely yours     Mr. E Leon Rauis would say     it's sentiment which he abhors.     Regretfully so he still wants you to know ofthe     things in his heart he can't say.     His penmenship does a disservice,     It's illegible to this day.     Oh, Mr. E. Leon Rauis believe me     I hope it all turned out O.K.     Picking a shop for the shoot did he buy a new     suit? was he tall, was he kind, did hefinally     find it that day, was his end absolute?     He got old like everyone, was he somebody's     son? did he fall, did he try to succeed ordeny     what he knew or things he had done?
