Randy Newman makes the feelings of a rapist personal, by switching the point of view from a story teller, to me 'thinking of the sea'.
Then he goes a step further by making the fantasy of this murderer.. mine. "We lie beneath the autumn sky".
Rather than gruesome, this is a touching poem.
Randy Newman takes irony and sarcasm to a higher level, by this poem he does a similar trick; it's only clear if you want to understand it.
