An imaginatively eccentric setting of a winningly perverse text! I'm reminded of an unaccountably "open" fuse box in my Tangier apartment with all manner of crossed wires that occasionally sparked and hissed at me. I'm lucky the place didn't burn down. ;-)
I marvel at your stylistic range and skill as a song composer. Bravo!
