TANGERINES
(words and music by E.P. Schwartz)

He liked the way she rolled the dice
and the way her character
always gave his character eyes
he was a third level thief
but in his heart
he couldn't get no relief
until there was this Goblin attack
and her elf mage
took a battle axe to the back
an unexpected sudden move
he jumped to his feet
and stunned the whole room

when he said

"All my gold, my love
all my restless dreams
all my paranoia, baby
all my tangerines

all your high-tech hardware
all your sexy screams
everything you are tonight"

She just sat and held his gaze
you could hear a +2 to hit dagger
fall in this place
until the DM said "What gives?
You two didn't even
roll for initiative"
Then she swept the game to the floor
crawled across the table
toward him on all fours
pulled his face close to hers
until he was the only one
who could, hear her words

when she said

"All my gold, my love
all my restless dreams
all my paranoia, baby
all my tangerines

all your high-tech hardware
all your sexy screams
everything you are tonight"

The gamers gave them wide berth
while they kissed
like they were the last two human beings on this Earth
and they'll never again be alone
because he picked her up
and carried her home

and they said

"All my gold, my love
all my restless dreams
all my paranoia, baby
all my tangerines

all your high-tech hardware
all your sexy screams
everything you are tonight"
