R. Stevie Moore
Master of Melody
When I got to Mt. Everest Lane
I parked the car in the pouring rain
I waited there for an hour or two
Became worried what happened to you

So I decided to pass the time
Got out the pad and wrote some lines
And cause you took so long
I had the chance to write this song

Master of Melody

I was infuriated. She works for Arista
Ow! A splinter! I was infuriated
She works for Arista. Ow! A splinter!
I was infuriated. She works for Arista
Ow! A splinter! I was infuriated

She treats the music business
Like it knows what to do
'Bout how to make good music
What does money have to do with

Then I saw you come out of the house
An umbrella protecting your blouse
As you got in the car, I yelled:
"Where have you been?"

You said you were listening to
A new tape by Kajagoogoo

(I was infuriated. She works for Arista. Ow! A splinter!)
