I had a dream last weekend I was a Mafia assassin Sent out to kill your new boyfriend In liberal arts college scandal He had a letter from you Kept with his bag of explosives I'm sure you said, "Think of me nightly," And had no idea he worked for a "family" A push down the stairs was convenient It couldn't be this easy, could it He lay on his back panting, desperate The silencer fixed on his sweating white forehead A moment of hesitation What would you do when you found out You'd be so broken and empty A past lover left you, another was found dead Would I take this long to consider The hurt and the pain that I'd caused you While holding a pistol in his face And give a year's pay to let this one mark live You'd live in bliss or in mourning Would he hunt me down in the morning? I'd break the code of a killer To kill or be killed, because you know that the mob always finds you A filter of wind swept beside us And carried your letter in pieces That I tore up instantly when I found his supplies in the janitor closet An anguished cry he resounded And clutched in his fist just a corner Of pink and blue paper with ink And a heart to dot the "I" in "I love you" A convincing blow to the forehead The butt of my pistol retorted Picked up his bag and I headed To the airport to get on a plane to Italia If I'll face the music I've fashioned I'll be in Tuscany's sunshine I'll grow some tomatoes and olives And wait for the college to investigate me To dig up my chopped-up body Or dredge me up from Lake Como And chip off my concrete loafers In the newspapers you'd read the scandalous details And maybe not ever know actuality Or see how much I cared for you But you're a smart girl and observant I'm sure you could guess But the mark may have killed you too
