Gnomicide: I don't see how it doesn't make sense.

"That strange sermon he gave
accepting termination, new terrain."

The logical progression is simple: every sermon Cole's given up to that point lambasted termination (abortion), which correlated with his picketing the clinic outside of town, how he turned 12 girls away from getting an abortion, etc. The second line refers to how, suddenly, his tune's changed and he's giving sermons saying it's okay to abort-- "new terrain."

"I'm sure you'll come to accept it's 'germination due to rape.'"

If those were the lyrics, the whole song wouldn't make sense, not just one line, heh.

"i can definitely hear "due to rape"..."

it's definitely not "due to rape." it wouldn't make sense, anyway; in the context of the song, it would be cole admitting he raped jeannie, which is an even worse admission than saying it's ok to abort.

"accepting termination, new terrain" is the correct line.

"It sounds to me like Tim says something about Dostoevsky at the end of the song"

This occurred to me too, but I can't make out exactly what's said around it.

An updated transcription of the end:
GIRL
i was in the student union
studying for an english quiz
he came up and asked directions
to the new auditorium
we walked up and down the campus
???
he was so embarassed
when he realized he had the wrong college
he offered to buy us coffee
for the time and effort wasted
[???] for some lunch (?)
he started making plans for dinner

TIM
she was young and impressionable
i pretended to need directions
she led me all over the campus
all the while i'm asking her questions
she [??] to have a cup of coffee
that's when i started to lay it on heavy
[as she (left? wept? leapt?) I (studied?)] dostoevsky
it was [???]

Wrong: "It rips you up, what you do,
The pristine routine to fool the room.
The gentle gentle movement of euphoria."

Right: "if she knew
what you do
the pristine routine to fool the room
the gentle gentleman, the lone lothario"

The last line sung by the girl is "[started making] plans for dinner."

Her first part is:
"i was in the student union
studying for an english quiz
he came up and asked directions
to the new auditorium
we walked up and down the campus
[not sure what she says in this line]
he was so embarassed
when he realized he had [unsure]"
