Engrossed in his corner,
Verse 2

he passed onto the other inhabitants

of the room a scrawled insularity of time and space
Verse 3
Cm

For both passed him by with the speed of light, not unlike the flow of substance,

Drastic measures were called for,

and as in antiquity the lonely man was blessed with wisdom to the point of desperation
Verse 5
G

But there in his corner, developing around him like a sun,

was a climate of such rare beauty that sight and sound could no longer be considered sufficient food for the senses
G
And he had begun to notice, as his hearing

as if in fact the one could not propose and prove its erotic existence in terms of the other

"What does this word mean?" he enquired of the solemn waiter hopefully

"Nothing for dessert sir," came the reply, "perhaps a cocktail, demitasse or a herbal essence,

Verse 8
Cm

And as the patter of the feet faded in the room, for he barely heard them now, his eye slowly began to close, and by the time he emerged on the sunny street he was forced to rely entirely on the other eye for help,

but happily it continued its many functions, blinking gently for lubrication, and registering images
Interlude 1

It was rush hour, in Hawaii only 10 am
Cm

Verse 9
Cm

So, turning into his street,

he stopped at the drug store and bought an eye patch that soon covered the reluctant eye
Verse 10
Cm

Climbing the stairs he pondered what to do next, he would call a doctor and have tests made,

eat nourishing food and if necessary consent to surgery, the last re sort of the gambling man
Verse 11
Cm

And at 1 am he awoke from a dream and after fumbling his way in the obolescent light of his room

he peered into the rusty veins of his mirror and lifted away the patch

What he saw astonished him. Where once was tremulous tissue and membrane was now a follicle and perfectly formed vagina with vulva,

overgrown and mysterious, unrevealing and still to the untrained eye
Verse 12
Cm

But in the deep dark recesses of that sticky occlusion lay the unclosing watchful eye of disgust in its closing moments,

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
