Huddled and awaiting the invited intrusion which would reinitiate this fateful exchange, singer must confess, accept responsibility, and hurl imperatives functioning as (desperate) invitations.

Occasional (and stunted) Leslie speaker intrusions imply a slowed doppler effect: exchange is in the passing.
