Does she know, does she know that
I am not just searching for some first-time high?
I know it's all about perceptions
And I accept you as my very first mover
I remember riding bikes on Coaster Island
Planning midnight raids on the Swedish plum trees
That summer, it was too cold to swim, so
We climbed upon the rocky shore and freaked out
On the mountain goats, but they were not impressed
Or scared of us
Do you remember our last summer as independents?
Do you remember our last summer as independents?
Do you remember our last summer as independents?
Do you remember our last summer as independents?
Do you remember?
I was a foreigner when you appeared
From the shadows at the motor club
I was a hater in the depths
Of an emotional hibernation
You sat me down, we had some drinks
And you told me all kinds of insanity
I asked your friend if you were available
She answered, no but yes, oh well, oh well, yes and no
Now, I'm viewing my memory reel in reverse
Scrolling back to come to feel your weather then
Now, I'm noting the limits of our parabola
To predict the points of thou-shalt-not-return
This inbreeding of ideas is intolerable
I wish David was here, take your persecution complex
And I'm not gonna absorb your stress output any more
Oh, don't you pimp out my heart

Let's have bizarre celebrations
Let's forget who forget what forget where
We'll have bizarre celebrations
I'll play the Satyr in Cypris you the bride being stripped bare
Let's pretend we don't exist
Let's pretend we're in Antartica
[2X]
Let's have bizarre celebrations
Lets forget when forget what forget how
We'll have bizarre celebrations
We'll play Tristan and Izolde but make sure I see white sails
Let's pretend we dont exist
Let's pretend we're in anarctica
[2X]
Maybe I'll never die
I'll just keep growing younger with you
And you'll grow younger too
now it seems too lovely to be true
but I know the best things always do
let's pretend we don't exist
let's pretend we're in Antartica

I used to think it black while at my country seat
Now I'm peaking in so many ways
the gloom is in retreat
Yes the dark epoch is over I've found my efeblum
Then passed Ernst's mausoleum defended by a rook
Who shot a look so virulent it pierced me like a hook
The palaver of Solipsists exploding in my skull
Yeah and we both despise all of the academic swine
Who made the author of "Discus Ulysses" benign
So what if Wednesday finds us
wearing rabies parachutes
Foaming like the melodies of sea foam fairy flutes
The atmosphere is viscous we're sticking to the brine
When the lanterns fill with finches
so begins the brawl
Cause their brains are like porcupines
and mine's a paper ball
I know they don't understand they don't get us at all
Their moss mangles polyanthus
and mine's a paper ball

Tulip Baroo Tulip Baroo
The magnetic rollerskater wears a bonnet of blue
Bonnet of blue
Tulip Baroom though you are four walls
You don't make a room don't make a room
I caught you
covered in tinsel
Bouncing your eyeballs off a pinstripe piano
Don't you think
that I get lonely too?
Tulip Balanc Tulip Balanc
The mouse caught in the hubcap
Goes clanky clank clank
Clanky clank clank
Tulip Barance the turtle necked boatman
Does the plum dance does the plum dance
I caught you disguised as a man with a mustache
Selling secrets to a canned tomato
Don't you think that I get lonely too?
Tulip Baroo Tulip Baroo
I don't know what to make of you
You're in charge of every coup
that the feds set out to do
Tulip Baroo Tulip Baroo
There's an island off of Spain
Where it's snowing out of season
and they claim its cause of you
Tulip Baroo
Tulip Baroob Tulip Baroob
The underhanded grocer is soaking a tube
Soaking a tube
Tulip Baraw the ground split wide open
Like a musical saw musical saw

Tim, wish you were born a girl,
So I could've been your boyfriend.
I know it's not possible now.
I just never met a girl I like half as much as you.
And we could lay around in bed, stay there all day,
Or at least until the afternoon
And I could make you spaghetti with tomato sauce
With just a touch of oregano and a parsley stem.
And then when you got sick,
I could take the day off work.
I could've made you chicken soup,
And we could watch soap operas
- oh, those TV dramas!
I could catch your cold
and you could take care of me.
If I could've met you at school, or met you at work,
It would have changed everything.
Those years of losing, confusion and insecurity,
They would have been shared,
they would have been easier.
Tim, wish you were born a girl, wish you were born a girl.
So I could've been your fiancé.
I'm not saying you can't be all these things for me,
But it's just not the same because you're a man,
and so am I.

It's hard to know exactly
when my dreams got weird
I tense up and get antsy when you're near
But nightly you appear to me
ghostly in my head
but I never can remember what you said
It must be something reassuring
something sweet and kind
something you would never say in real life
Where does it go in the morning
It slipped out of my hand
Eating breakfast with my other thoughts
away from wakeful lands
Where is the you I created
the you that I adore?
When my eyes are open I don't see you anymore
It's hard for me to fathom
that you disappeared
and turned into exactly what I feared
But every night you sing to me
when my eyes are closed
But I never can remember how it goes
It must be something undeserving
only in my mind
Something you would never sing on your time
It disappears without warning
It shifts like grains of sand
Galavanting with some other dreams
I didn't understand
Where is the you I created
the you that I adore?
When my eyes are open I don't see you anymore
But nightly you appear to me
ghostly in my head
but I never can remember what you said

Penelope shoot the apple off my head I need to go to the store to get some sleep. Because I've run out of sleep. The row boat came so David stopped arguing with a mime and waved his arms like wheat. But when he tried to speak the Prince of Plum fell through the roof of his mouth and handed David an envelope inside was a letter that read 'sir, you were given this envelope by mistake please disregard it' Nicolynn shoot the candle off my head I need to go to the store to get some beets. To rub all over my feet. Andy's joke reminded Gerard that his sloth balloon was owned by Turkish moths. Gerard's Lebanese boss had sent him out on business giving his word that he would keep it looked in the safe but it was all deceit cause once he had the sloth balloon he traded it to the moths for a lithograph of 'Lady Lamenting On A Lawn Chair'. What interested Balabanoba was building complicated French machines. designed to better enjoy the duchess, and she him. He helps her in the stirrups then he straps himself in they spend their days in heights of ecstasy. but wait why then does she look so sad? Why is her countenance so glum? Does she tire of mechanical hands or is she pining for the fair Prince of Plum? Lulubird shoot the doorbell off my head I need to go to the store to get some treats. For Gothe,Becket and Keates. The characters of the 'Gay Parade' formed a boys choir with Static and the Red King. But whenever they sing all postal workers simultaneously whisper to themselves the word calendar calendar

Old people in the cemetery
what must they be thinking of?
must be frightening must be scary
to visit the grave of a close friend
who was the same age as you when they died
There's nothing precious about
old people in the cemetery
reciting bible passages
unprepared to come to terms with
the fact that we're all food for worms
what do they think a prayer
could make a difference now?
There's nothing sadder than
an old woman in the cemetery
picking leaves off of her husbands tomb
Knowing that her only wish is
that she will die and join him soon
It's so sad to see them all just wither away,
there's nothing sadder then old people like that
It must be hard to relate
after the world of your youth
totally evaporates
Old men in the cemetery
lurking like faint shadows of the dead
gazing down at mother's plot
and longing to be there instead
it's a dreary fate and
no one should have to be as depressing
as old people like that

Neither the flowers on the hill
or the moonlight on the sea
Have ever looked so blue
And everything looks new again
In that old familiar way
The view from my room
of the ships on the bay
Had come to bore me through and through
But they suddenly seem new again
In that old familiar way
The delicate ballet of blossoms falling off a tree
Had long gone unnoticed by me
I'm stunned by what now I finally see
It's amazing the wonders you can find
Just by stepping outside
There's a skip in my step a divine state of joy
In everything I do
Cause I am feeling new again
In that old familiar way
When I'm awoken from my dreams
by a cuckoo on the roof
I always join in too
And every sound sounds new again
In that old familiar way
The life I used to know
when I was busy always on the go
Left me with nothing to show
Now I feel that I can honestly say
I'm living a suitable life
I'm glad I finally got it right
Welcome to the Gay Parade

If you have any flaws we haven't noticed them
there is nothing at all you are lacking in Louis Kabu
We are looking at you and we see an august gentleman
Miss Birdy concurs and she'll say so openly
through an ear horn in gentrified eboniks she purrs
"Monsieur Louis I adore you,I just adore you"
Everything you attempt always ends in success
and everyone that you meet always leaves feeling blessed
Louis Kabu we are looking at you
and you know that I remember when we first met your kid
It was in Chinatown
she was a cute lost little orphan
so we gave her a home
I could travel the world
and yet still fail to see a soul
that is half as kind or as fancy free as Louis Kabu
We are looking at you
and you know that I remember when we first met the kid
it was in Chinatown she was a cute lost little orphan
so we gave her a home
Now I haven't a qualm
in declaring that there is no one at all
quite as caring as Louis Kabu
we are looking at you and we see a dashing gentleman
Miss Nico bemoans cause you love Bird more then her
but when you deign to allow her a visit she avers
"Monsieur Louis I adore you I just adore you"
If you have any claws we haven't noticed them
there is nothing at all you are lacking in Louis Kabu
no no not our Louis Kabu

Look who's talking to their shadow like one who hasn't got a friend
Like somebody with a broken heart that is never gonna mend
Look who's walking through the night in the rain like one who's under a spell
Like somebody with alot on their mind, but no one to tell
Everyone you see seems so happy and carefree
They've found someone to love, but you are alone
Look who's flipping through the photographs of those happier days
Only losing something beautiful could make a person feel this way
Everyone you see seems so happy and carefree
They've found someone to love, but you are alone
Look who's talking to their shadow like one who hasn't got a friend
Like somebody with a broken heart that is never gonna mend...

Joseph and Alexander ride their flaming swans
above Miss Dovepost and her loudmouth niece
who had a fear of geese and who even in a corset
looked remarkably obese
Joseph and Alexander redirect their swanis left
to take a gander at the funnel nosed threes
in the Pekinese trees
who are normally a nervous sort
but now seem quite at ease
Joseph and Alexander are brothers and best friends
the wonderful adventures that they share together never end
Be sure to send a smile for me and Dave
to wherever they're pretending to be
I hope they keep a journal
and take lots of photographs
of all the funny things they see
Joseph and Alexander
approach the nest of the speckled salamander
who with utmost care is knitting thermal underwear
She smiles and hollers up
"These are for my grandchildren to wear"
Joseph and Alexander feeling tuckered
now decide to meander back into their beds
and kiss their swanis on the head
but before going to sleepy land
Joseph turned and said
"Aggats, I love you"
Alexander yawned and said
"Joseph me too I love you"

Jacques Lamure is a
volunteer fireman
He longs to give his life
Saving a nice old man and his wife
When their house is
filled with flames
Earning him honor and fame
Jacques Lamure is a foreman
at a clock factory
He wishes he were boss
So he could fire that scoundrel William Moss
Who always puts him down
When Megan Blanchard is around
He told himself last year
that when springtime was here
He would suddenly appear at Meg's door
He'd rent a mariachi band and respectfully demand
His dear Meg to take his hand
And to be his forever more
But of course he didn't dare
and pretended not to care
About the insult or the loss
When he found out she'd married William Moss
Jacques Lamure goes to see a show
every other Friday night
He likes the westerns best
He'd rather be a sheriff with a gold star on his chest
Than that weird guy who never says a word
And when spoken to pretends he hadn't heard
He realized one day that he didn't have to stay
That he could move as far away as planes could fly
He chuckled as he mused
About the people who had rused him
And how shocked and confused that they would be
When he says goodbye and never turns around
Never returns to that miserable town
Then as weeks passed he soon did find
This move had greatly improved his state of mind

it's a very starry night though the moon's not very bright.
it's a very attractive sight this fair and starry night.
it's a very starry night watching barristers in flight see them disappear from sight on this fair and starry night.
though i'm by myself i am not alone
there are lots of little creatures who calls this their home
and i am so loose i'm not afraid to say
i don't know what is keeping my body from just floating away.
it's a very starry night watching solicaters in flight.
see them hovering like kites on this fair and starry night.
though i'm by myself i am not alone.
there are lots of little creatures who call this their home
and i am so loose i'm not afraid to say
i don't know what is keeping my body form just floating away.
it's a very starry night.

Isn't it nice living out in the country?
It's so nice for us to have a place
off in our own space with no one to mind
there's Old Cranky the elderly lady next door
who accuses us of burning down her barn
it's so different out here
one thing I've learned is that you never interfere
with Old Cranky's bales of hay
Isn't it nice living out in the country?
It's so nice for us to have a place
off in our own space with no one to mind
there's Larry our alcoholic neighbor at ten a.m.
asking for a ride to the liquor store
it's so different out here
one thing I've learned is that
you never buy Larry beer
or else he'll bug you everyday
it's a long and winding road to our house
so if you come to see us take it slow
take it slow anyway when you come
you will know why we stay so far
from the city lights
we don't miss a thing from the city
it's good to drop out you should try it
come take a walk at night it's so quiet
you should try it
there's Martin and his friend with the Thug Life tattoo
looking menacing while landscaping the lawn
it's so different out here
one thing I've learned is to be cautious of the deer
they don't care if they die
it's a long and winding road to our house
so if you come to see us take it slow
take it slow
anyway when you come you will know
why we stay so far from the city lights
we don't miss a thing from the city
it's good to drop out you should try it
come take a walk at night it's so quiet
you should try it
Isn't it nice living out in the country?
It's so nice for us to have a place

I love you completely.
Please I don't want you to go, though are not content here with me, and you feel
you must go.
How could I lose you so fast?
How come our love did not last?
How come I waited my whole lonely life for you, just for you to leave me lonely
too?
I love you completely
My dear, I wanted you to know, throughout this big world nobody else has loved
someone so.
I tried to live a life of beauty
I tried to love you truly
I tried to hold in my arms, but you slipped right through me.
I never knew venus to be so moody.
I love you
I tried to live a life of beauty
I tried to love you truly
I tried to hold in my arms, but you slipped right through me.
I never knew venus to be so moody.
I love you completely.
Please I don't want you to go, though are not content here with me, and you feel
you must go, that you must go.. Oh please, don't go!

I'd be a yellow feathered loon for you baby
Be a German shepherd on the moon for you baby
Be a granulated spoon
for you baby
I'd be a camper in a photograph for you
Then when the sun has set
romantic times have passed
And our conversations are a bore
I'll become a different man
So you can get to know me again
I'd be a rubberbanded flute for you baby
Be an union parachute for you baby
Be a baby that's a mute for you baby
I'd be an insecurity in a Tibetan's head for you
Then when the sun has set
romantic times have passed
And our conversations are a chore
I'll become a different man
So you can get to know me again
I'd be a uniform on an imbecile for you
If you want me to die trying I will die to please you
I'd be a pepperminted rook for you baby
Be an unhappy organ donor's book for you baby
Be a straw covered in scum and gook for you baby
I'd be a wrestler in a tuxedo shirt for you
I'd be an antacid with a brown wig on for you

Nihilists with good imaginations
I am satisfied hiding in our friend's apartment
Only leaving once a day to buy some groceries
Daylight, I'm so absent minded, nighttime meeting new anxieties
So am I erasing myself? Hope I'm not erasing myself
I guess it would be nice to give my heart to a God
But which one, which one do I choose?
All the churches filled with losers, psycho or confused
I just want to hold the divine in mine
And forget, all of the beauty's wasted
Let's fall back to earth and do something pleasant, say it
We fell back to earth like gravity's bitches, bitches
Physics makes us all its bitches
I guess it would be nice to help in your escape
From patterns your parents designed
All the party people dancing for the indie star
But he's the worst faker by far in the set
I forget, all of the beauty's wasted
I guess it would be nice
Show me that things can be nice
I guess it would be nice
Show me that things can be nice
You've got my back in the city
You've got my back 'cause I don't want to panic
You've got my back in the city

I got dolls with silk and sashes then I tore
Out their eyelashes
Mom would wonder if I was evil when I'd
Covet my brother's Kenievel
Christmas time is filled with joy but only if
You're a little boy
I got a rocket and a fire truck how I always
Cursed my luck
I never wanted trains or trollies all I wanted
Were paper dolls
Christmas time around the world is only good
If you're a little girl
We never get what we wanted cause what
We really want is each others presents
This may seem bad or just plain silly but we
Could change the tags from Sally to Billy and
From Billy to Sally
I think we know now how we can be happy
We found a way to fool Mommy and Daddy
In a few years we many run into messes when
You start wanting to wear my dresses

I'm happy today because I'm in love and feeling afraid
Oh I hop off the train singing your name
I knock on your door I don't know what to say
When you answer I just smile and say "hey"
I'm happy today I'm up on a cloud
and caught in the fray
Oh I'm pacing the floor in the scarf that I wore
on the day that we met by the old statuette
of an infant in the nude
We both thought it was lewd
Its a gas to be cast in the haze
and I've been there four days
Yes I've been there four days
I wanted to play the fabulous game you taught me
yesterday but it's impossible to play when you're away
I take all of my books and I toss them aside
I don't want to read them now
Proust pales to you somehow
Its a gas to be cast in the haze
and I've been there four days
Yes I've been there four days
I'm so turned on that nothing can bum my trip
Its a gas to be cast in the haze
and I've been there four days
Yes I've been there four days

What's up directors? Grab your knives!
It's time to take all all of the lives
Of the people who cannot see the somnolent genius of Tarkovsky
Come on authors grab your guns!
It's time to murder everyone who has never heard of Apollinaire
Send them all to hell it's only fair
Cast them all into the flames if they don't know any names
Of the principles of Arte Povera
Or are unfamiliar with le serpent mascara
That's right mascara snake!!!
Come on painters alive or dead
Give all the cretins a boot to the head
If they don't extoll convincingly
Tempered Elan era Kandinsky
Throw them all into a well if they cannot tell
An Arto Parv feast of repitition from a Schoenburg 12 tone composition
Come on artists the day is here
And your mission is very clear
Put an end to the bourgoussie
And death to everyone who's never heard of me

A Man's Life Flashing Before His Eyes While He and His Wife Drive Off a Cliff Into the Ocean
I heard a human voice in an adding machine and my brain slipped out of my ear
Which made it hard to hear
A customer clapping in approval
A bird flew
through the window
And he sucked it
right into his mouth
I looked on the floor and saw
The carpet was turning to glass
I lifted my feet very fast and ran out the door
I walked to a bus stop there I waited the bus
And when it finally arrived I climbed up inside
A lady sat down beside me
She gave me a mirror
When I looked in it I saw I was her
This made me forget that I was
Driving at night with my wife
She's so beautiful the love of my life
We drove into the sea

There was jello in the fingerprints Detective Dulllight discovered. It proved to be the most important finding in the case And where as Detectives Slocks and Slovits slobbered over smutty photographs Dulllight had a better lead to follow. He followed the ringing to the telephone where a voice asked 'Excuse me aren't you so and so?' 'Oh so and so since you left I have been eating only sweets cause they remind me of you.' He felt this surely was a clue. So he climbed into the tub wearing his underwear and overcoat, jumped aboard the model boat and followed the water down the drain. In his brain there are file cabinets and secretaries filing their nails downstairs (But I don't want to talk about that room downstairs). At this moment Detective Slocks and Slovets realize that since they had reported on the crime scene this morning each of them has aged over fifty years. Two butterflies land on their shoulders and harmonize softly in their ears 'Where did all the time go?' 'Did you think that you'd stay young forever?' 'But at least you're still together...' The two detectives held hands in the moonlight. The butterflies flew away which prompted Slovit's to say,'l miss them already'. Slocks removed a fountain pen from his breast pocket, drove it deep into Slovit's throat and began screeching 'DEATH TO THE PARCHMENT WHALE, THE ROBOT IAM LASAILE'. While in prison, Slocks wrote one of the most revered exercises in free verse titled 'The Cause of Gauze'. 'Oh the cause of gauze, The Manuels have fondled many memories from my lap though each memory has its own lap and swimmers swim laps. Even swimmers have laps however and while in that condition many require a delicate gauze. I desire only this in my decrepitude, that I will have one more opportunity to serve as a gauze to my fellow man and that in that state of gauze can somehow disturb the world less often with my prickly fingers.' When Detective Dulllight returning from the catacombs first heard the news of the Slocks and Slovets stabbing and subsequent poetry enterprise he immediately fell to the floor and began plucking peaches from his cheeks. This eventually became a tiresome activity so he evaporated into the cream a float a child's bedtime coco.

My, my, you busted me
Like a Robocop, strike me
With your riding crop I'm forever going celibate tomorrow
Tonight like success knows no shame
Oh no, she's a rejecter
I must protect myself
There's the girl that left me bitter
Want to pay some other girl
To just walk up to her and hit her
But I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't
My, my, this demon heart
Of the master's hand, crush me
Why, I don't understand and I know you're not her
'Cause the girl of my dreams is probably god, still I want you
Oh no, she's a rejecter
I must protect myself
There's the girl that left me bitter
Want to pay some other girl
To just walk up to her and hit her
But I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't
I can't just hit her
No, no, no, no, no
I won't hit her
I can't, I can't, I can't
No, I can't, I can't, I can't

Love is not a debtor's prison
You don't have to serve a sentence to pay back what you've been given
Now I live in fear of your schizophrenic genius
It's a tempestuous despot that I can't seem to propenciate
Now I feel you're provoking me with your fidelity
That your loyalty and affections are somehow a vopine act of hostility
Now we're a bore
We're afternoon tv
These things in our minds are screaming to defy
How can I bury this rebellion while proving that I'm still your rock'n'roll
Ally
Once more I turn to my crutch for council and it won't disappoint me
I know it's the shadow cast by what's looming in the...
And it's how it engenders here
I was dreaming of a hunt you clapped your hands sharply twice to wake me up
Darkness was gripping the sky, I knew I could still be your rock'n'roll

How you wanna tag my style
I am so superior
How you wanna hate a thing
When you are so inferior
How you wanna mess
How you wanna mess my spotless interior?
Let's just say
You are not the destroyer
Let's just say
[Incomprehensible]
I got my bright girl near me
She's so much taller
With a crisp endorsement
From the C.C.A.A. Booty Patrol
She's so meta
Reference Stendhal
Shares my strange urge
To smash a window in every house on our block
Delinquent days are here again
How you wanna tag my style
I am so superior
How you wanna hate a thing
When you are so inferior
How you wanna mess
How you wanna mess my spotless interior?
Let's just say
You are not the destroyer
Let's just say
[Incomprehensible]
I got my Georgie Fruit on
He's a dark mutation
For my demented past time
Giving replicators somewhere to go
But we're authentic
You can test my talons
Against your cursive body
The controller's spheres have disappeared and it hurts
Delinquent days are here again
It's like to disappear forever
I'm not afraid
There's two Gods for everyone
One, two Gods for the beasts
An hour dead
Deflects our eggs on latitude
0, 1 degree, I trusted you
No, don't explain
Moving in clipped tempos making
Sad dreams of the flag appearing
Crazy how the symbolism works

I can't stop your memory
From breaking my heart
Devils were laughing so loud
I couldn't hear the radio
In the dark bags become
Sneaking devils waiting to pounce
And display impressive claws
I might wink at them before they land
I can hear my heart beat
Across the room behind the closet door
When I'm laying in my bed in the dark
I can't gather all the love I need when I need it
I'm not mad I understand that that's the price
And all is forgiven in the end
If your heart was in the right place
If you lived an honest life, if you tried
I can't stop your memory
From breaking my heart
Devils were laughing so loud

Do you know you're being followed by the shadow of a cat walking upright? I was hoping that I could crack my eyes open and be greeted by a friend who loves me. Who would take me to Cap' Corte's tower. With the bell at the top We'd climb the rickety steps up to the bell and look at the bell

You're no different from the prints that crease the wires
Or mosquitoes that now operate on her brain
Thought that if I sank the seine I might find you
I might find you
I'm no different from the claw they mic from the stair
Or fake diamonds that are glued to eyes of plastic crows
Thought that where the planters go, you might find me

Everything is falling apart, yes, I am
Watching me watch birds watch people
Watching me watch birds watch people
I wear my bow tie to bed
'Cos I'm waiting for the gorgeous young man
Hiding in the spaces
That darkness hides gorgeous young men
Everything is falling apart, yes, I am
Watching me watch birds watch people
Watching me watch birds watch people
We are only waiting here to die
At least let me put my arms around you
Why try to keep it from myself
When it feels so good to sing about love?

Everyday feels like Sunday baby everyday feels so good
Everyday feels like Sunday baby everyday feels so good
I'm further and further away from the fall everyday
And for years I bowed I could not sleep so very well
Even standing up I crawled yet there is a softness I can tell
I'm electric now from the pure brilliant sparks you shot
Like a little man all I can say is "thanks a lot"
Ah I must destroy this artificial darkness
That's how it seems to me to be, art artificial now 'cause

Writing your name in the fog on my bedroom window
Speaking to voices of her in the dark
I know that there is nobody here
so why am I crawling on the floor
Its a lonely life
One that warps me with each minute that passes
One that I really shouldn't share
It's better if I'm not aware that I won't succeed
that my dreams will be buried with me

Just before the afternoon creeps in
Just before it gets too hot to be outside
I like to lay on my back in the grass and
watch the airplanes go by and I dream that
you are an airplane shooting across the sky
You are an airplane
You're a strong and dangerous machine
When you fall you'll fall down so fast
When you crash I want to go down with you
We'll make such a horrible mess
Just before the eyeball appears
Just before the little birds go to sleep
I like to stand on my head and pretend
that I am a control tower
and that you are an airplane
and I can talk you safely to the ground
The way you live your life makes me nervous
If you were to die
I'd have no reason to be alive
cause you are my only friend

And so begins begins our odyssey
And we begin begin our odyssey
And so begins begins our odyssey
The auria is bleeding and the boyish voice is leaving
I've been an evil tenor I filled the innocents doe eyes with glue
You're my only softness you're my only pleasure it's true
And I never want to be your little friend the abject failure
And so begins begins our odyssey
And we begin begin our odyssey
And so begins begins our odyssey
The chrysalis is breaking and the super ego's waking
I've been a gloomy Petrarch with a quill as weepy as Dido
You're my mousy aesthete you're my bouyant cherub it's true
And I never want to be your little friend the abject failure

Predictably sulking Sara wears a scowl on her face
which no attempt at cheering can erase
Look at her face so sad
Consistently mopey Murrey worries his thong
will be replaced by the hand whose eyes are shooting mace
Look at his face so sad
Maybe it's best if two people
as sad as this never meet
but we wonder if somehow it might help
to see one so sad for oneself
to see how they look to the world so sad
Look at their faces so sad

When I met you I was just a kid
hadn't built up my defenses
so I gave my heart completely
vaseline over the lenses
memories don't go away
I remember every day
I never ever stop wondering
Wondering if you still think of us
I don't need a photograph
cause you've never left my mind
No you've never left my mind
I remember feeling like a ship
whose captain was too drunk to steer
and you watched as I was sinking
waving sadly from the pier
It's such a burden to carry 'round
the vestiges of dead dreams
and I don't want to make a wake out of my life
I just had to let you go

You hit me so hard like a Wong Kar Wai beginning
I'm exploding in smiles my equilibrium is spinning
Rapture rapes the muses
but you don't notice till it's kissing you
Rapture rapes the muses
and the void that's left confuses
It's confusing
You keep me lit like antediluvian Troy
But one always reveres what ones bound to destroy
Gloomy Erebus is an anathema to me
All of them dancing like flames and the sad enmity
I wonder if I understand.
Am I too young to understand?

Wearing an olive drab
but feeling somehow inside opalescent
Wonder how I'm managing to smile oh
when I can't even pay my rent
Maybe it's because I've finally found
my little tulip my Norge dear
Funny how in spite of all my woes
life can appear rosy and clear
rosy and clear
And I'm dizzy from her kiss
so vertiginous lost in lysergic bliss
Love the way you wear your curly hair
sanguine and spiraling tied in a bun
Love the way it falls about your face
mercurially gilded by the sun
If we were a pair of jigsaw puzzle pieces
we would connect so perfectly
Creating a still photo of a scene
from the Phantom of Liberty

I can see that you're rubbing off
on everyone you know.
You're rubbing off on me,
I can feel your incredible glow.
I can hear your happy voice in other people's voices.
I can hear your beautiful voice sometimes when I speak.
You've got a special gift.
Do you see how you're changing the world
just by hanging around?
I can see how you sweetened up
both of your grumpy roommates.
Now they even say hello
when we pass on the street.
I find joy in simple things ever since I met you.
I never get the chance just to tell you
how out of sight you are.
You've got a special gift.
Do you see how you're changing the world
just by hanging around?

Baby your magic is working
I lose control of myself when ever you are near me
I feel myself changing
From a guy too cynical for love
into a blushing romantic
Oh honey I'd swim across the Atlantic
just to be near to you I'm hopping like a kangaroo
Baby your magic is working
all of my friends think I'm mad
'cause I talk of nothing but you girl
How you've really changed me
for a guy thought too cynical for love
You've proven everyone wrong
anywhere with you girl is where I belong
Everything is beautiful and you are the reason
Lately I've been so happy
just holding you and gazing into your eyes
like in a movie
You are a star...I mean a starlet,
listen the night we met I fell in love with you
Who'd have guessed who'd have guessed
I'm in love I'm in LOVE!!!
How you've really changed me
from a guy thought too cynical for love
Suddenly I feel as light as a butterfly
and wanting to give love another try
Everything is beautiful and you are the reason
Baby your magic is working
my mirror's reflection is you
looking coquet and smirking
Now your magic is working

she says i'm boring her camera it takes more to delight the cadaver
night eyes on icy patrol
yours were not so nazi feline
mine were as dead as monks and our particles are in motion
night eyes producing ashes we love to view unfortunate passions
still she brings my photo to bed
no mere limp verse could incite identity destruction
our particles are in motion
sometimes we're not legible but we're the same strange animal,
let them say our love is peculiar don't care
there's only now no ever after,
we won't let this end in disaster, you are my twin no i will never go there

Will you let me into your dream?
I'm not as cold as I may seem
You look so peaceful without a care
Are things so much nicer in there?
If you let me into your dream would I laugh or would I scream?
Would I be shocked by all that I see?
I just want to know if you're dreaming of me
Your subconscious seems divine and I'm so bored with mine
Do you think maybe we could share is there room for two of us there?
Will you let me into your life?
You be my husband I'll be your wife
I don't care which role that I play I just want to be in your movie everyday
I guess that I would be remiss if I woke you with a kiss
If I was a cat I'd be purring
oh no do I notice you stirring?
Will you let me into your dream
I'll be as silent as a sun beam
I'll be as gentle as Debussy
I just want to know if you're dreaming of me

I was gazing in your eyes
seeing butterflies melting on the wall
Strangest thing I saw
clever little guys wonderful surprise
Will you come and fetch me girl from the brink?
I'm starting to kink and I'm too numb to think
If this nightmare can't be stopped
Go out and find me when I'm dropped
Onto a bail of hay looking the other way
from noncoms in machines squeezing tangerines
emitting horrid cries wonderful surprise

Larry when you're loved like you are

You won't be left alone,
When you're loved like you are

people think of you and smile.
They think of you and their glad so they smile
When you're loved like you are.

everything falls into place.
Everything else falls into place

We will be with you,
That means you will be with us, too.
Larry when you're loved like you are
you won't ever feel alone.
You won't be left alone,
When you're loved like you are

Now a man loving a woman that's a very
Common thing common but beautiful all the same
Still there's something so neat something so
Extraordinarily sweet with a man who's in love
With a man
I have nothing to say about the traditional ways
They're fine if they work well for you
But there is something so right so completely
Out of sight
With a man who's in love with a man
Or a woman who's in love with a woman
They should never feel ashamed because it's
So important to do the things we want with
Whoever turns us on
Now a man desiring a woman that's a very
Common thing common and really rather dull
There is something so strange something so
Wonderfully deranged in a man desiring a man
Or a woman desiring a woman....
Men are usually fighting each other that's
Why I think it's so special when a man and
A man are in love It's so good It's so special
Now a man kissing a woman is a very
Common thing common but usually
Quite nice still there is something so fine
Something so beautifully divine in a man
Kissing a man
A man kissing a man

If you're feeling old and grey
and the pallet in your hand is Auntie Lime
Remember to curve your virginity
little Chinese titty
If you look for Rick the Third
and acknowledge that he hasn't left a pang
Report him to the Divinity
little Chinese Ricky
The little Chinese Ricky is of foam
and you know that you can Ricky model home
WAIT don't go home
we are performing the song!!!!
If a Bertha had it's mirth
and the sack that held the attic up is torn
Meow meow meow for eternity
little Chinese kitty
The little Chinese Ricky is of foam
and you know that you can Ricky model home
WAIT don't go home
we are destroying the song!!!!

Looking under the ghost on your face
kind of ruins it for me
I don't want to see you toss it's hair
No I don't need you to show me its smile
You see because I'm learning
yes I know about your mask
so I no longer have to ask
If I can peek behind the ghost on your face
that really ruins it for me
I don't want to clap and stare
while you show me the expressions it makes
You see because I'm learning
yes I know about your mask
so I no longer have to ask
"Was your face a head in the pillow case?"

oh yes oh yes oh yes oh yes
oh no oh no oh no oh no
oh yes oh yes oh yes oh yes
oh no oh no oh no oh no
oh yes oh yes oh yes oh yes
oh no oh no oh no oh no
oh yes oh yes oh yes oh yes
oh no oh no oh no oh no

I live my life like I'm reading my own biography
Every night writing my discography
But let's talk about our coy romance
Doesn't it seem like it's always been here
Love I mean, love I mean
Walking around bumping into things
I try to say "Hi" I end up making you cry
True friends don't want to do things like that
True friends don't want to do things like
Live my life like I'm reading my own biography
Every night arranging my own anthology
But let's talk about this crack from which whenever
We're close something yanks us back
It's probably me, its probably me
Stumbling around crashing into things
I try to be sly I end up licking your eye
True friends don't want to do things like that
True friends don't want to do things like that

Sleeping in the beetle bug
With a hundred pounds of air in my heart
Don't think that I'm able to sympathize
I'm happier to see it gone
Floating above your house like a penguin
Dropping cherries from my mouth
Tapping the walnuts and the shadows out of a dreaming
Pair of brown eyed ghosts
In each of your eyes, I saw it's spring
Where every mouth wakes up to a smile and a yawn
Grass is long and laughs
When the wind jumps through it
It must have started with that stick in the mud
That there's where clouds are born
Clouds can't stay where they are born
Winds push them so far from home
The sound of your laughter
Tiptoeing across the floor
Makes the deepest of red umbrellas
Able to inflate my smile
In each of your eyes, I saw it's spring
Where every mouth wakes up to a smile and a yawn
Grass is long and laughs

You worry 'bout the sun
What's the use of worrying 'bout thebig old sun?
You worry 'bout the rain
The rain keeps falling just the same
You worry when the one you need
has found somebody new
But the world keeps going round
The world keeps going round
You just can't stop it
The world keeps going round
You worry 'bout your friends
What's the use of worrying now you're almost grown?
You worry'bout your own
What's the use of worrying cause you die alone?
Well times will be hard and rain will fall
and you'll feel mighty low
But the world keeps going round
The world keeps going round
You just can't stop it
The world keeps going round
Well times will be hard and rain will fall
and you'll feel mighty low
But the world keeps going round

The creator of what's now cliché had some funny words to say
"all you little things are incomplete"
why did he speak of us that way?
I don't cry not 'cause I don't care
It's very hard to feel the way we used to feel up there
The creator of what's now cliché
Wants us little things to cry and feel alone
But don't don't lose hope no no no no
No no no don't feel sad 'cause it's a violent world
But there's still beauty
I'll take care of you if you take care of me
I like to sit and listen to the sound
Of the snowflakes landing on the trees
But I can't get used to feeling cold
I can't get used to what has happened here to you and me
There's no escaping so I won't try
It's just the heaviness that comes with knowing you will never die

Manuel's mouth filled with foam upon discovering the properties of Mimi Merlot.
Just Imagine his chagrin when he found she'd drugged him, tied him up and locked
him inside her wardrobe. On top of all of this the boas hung above him made him
sneeze Hhhhhhaaaaaacccccchhhhhhhooooooo. It's snowing all around inside Mimi's
wardrobe. oh no no. Now she's covering the wardrobe in aluminum foil oh no no
then she sticks her little finger through the key hole and says "suck on it and
maybe I'll let you go" to which Manuel replies "Oh you want me to suck...?like
this...?' Mimi Merlot you're the most convincingly non-fictitious character that
I know

The problem with April is the problem with May
is the problem with June and July
it's the problem with all of the months
since you said goodbye
The problem with Monday is the problem with Tuesday
is the problem with Wednesday and Thursday
it's the problem with all the week
since you went away
The bills keep piling up
and my bed gets bigger and bigger
I feel like I'm being watched
and I'm forever under the weather
The problem with Summer is the problem with Fall
is the problem with Winter and Spring
it's the problem with all of the year
since you're no longer here
The problem with evening is the problem with morning
is the problem with the afternoon
the problem of all of the day
since you went away

Let's reminisce of our first dance together
along the ocean floor.
Your dress was made of egg shells.
My hair was in a pompadour
While we were hunting for the Marshmallow Coast.
I played a prank that brought shame to one of my colleagues.
I taught Herr Coushiboe's eyes how to imitate a bog.
They employed their new talent perhaps too frequently.
Finding this incarnation preferable
they decided to stay that way
But then his eyes became ambitious
and they started to grow.
They felt confined as a bog and wanted more recognition.
They desired to be acknowledged by a map
and that is how Coushiboe discovered my gag.
When he opened up a map and saw his eyes looking back at him

You're such a mystery I just want to stand and stare
Nibble on your ear and smell the ocean in your hair
You know you damage me you leave me tangled in a knot
But when you reappear I see Neptunian blues that eyes forgot
Neptunian blues that eyes forgot
I only feel alive when the vu's flashing alarms going off in my head
I want to grab you and just kiss you maybe I should sit down
No sense in cashing us now
Still I only feel alright when the vu's flashing bombs going off in my head
I want to grab you want to scream at you no icing me down
The party's crashing us now
The party's crashing us now
Oh well we made love like a pair of black wizards
You freed me from the past you fucked the suburbs out of me
And all those ugly days that made us so sick
They are just fossils now we've learned the elevating trick
We've learned the elevating trick

I've heard about inner light it makes the
brown in your eyes look watery
I felt something while talking to you, Gently
intoxicating I felt the source of your inner light
It's such a struggle though I know I have to,
I just can't bring myself to touch it
I need to feel the inner light
I want to be the angel God sends to you
To keep you on the right course although I
Just don't know if I believe in it
It's such a struggle though I know I have to
I just can't bring myself to touch it
I need to feel the inner light.

Someone's in love with someone who doesn't love them back
their body's like a hollow room
They carry around an empty feeling wherever they go, wherever they go
When one is crying over someone who doesn't even care, their body's like an
empty tomb
They carry around a desperate feeling where ever they go, wherever they go
their in a hollow room..
A hollow room. All the devils in the world couldn't think up a more painful
thing to be in love with someone who doesn't love you back.

Hello my name is Claude Robert
And I'd like to thank you for spending time with the gay parade
We hope you found it enjoyable
And that we will see you again very soon
Because we've grown quite fond of you
And all agree that you make very pleasant company
If you ever feel that in your life
The moments of gaiety
are too few
You can always come and visit us
Now that you know the way
And perhaps someday
You'll be able to stay with us
Forever inside the gay parade

I take a walk I mow the grass
I don't worry 'bout
the years that pass
My wife is dead I live alone
in my little country home
I have my memories
and dogs for friends
I water the ferns I plant some seeds
I make sure to pull out all the weeds
And to help myself along
I like to whistle this funny little song
I sang in my army days when I was young
A hot air balloon I will float away
At times I'm holding you
My kids and grandkids come
to stay with me once a year
And on New Years I drive down to be with them
Though I'm happy often I feel lonely
But when I speak I hear my wife speak
Don't feel alone because you're not really alone
Sweetheart no don't think you're alone
I feed the cat I sweep the floor
I don't fear dying anymore
I like to fish with Ed and Will
in the pond by the old paper mill
I am resigned to finish off my days this way

I guess I should have known to stay away
From a snuff film by Gene Genet
But the cash was good and the director gave me the biggest scene
What does it mean when Pentacostal born again virgins appear picketing in angry
protest?
Oh those sloppy tarts have sulpherized hearts
Sure a dead man quietly pulling on his tongue in a coffin after being hung
Does make strange erotic cinema but that was the great master's vision
And the actors agree to portray the fiend is best in a death fantasy
'cause when one is licking the knife, ah well that is truly the life
oh what does it mean when the stagehand approaches wheeling in a guillotine
let's play nice
yes I want to be a star but that's going too far
yes I'm still smarting from the bite of coital sessions in gelatal light
I'm questioning my chosen career
don't think I'll be attending the premier

The summer's good for tulips,
Though pansies disagree.
They find the heat most distasteful,
And humidity far too grim to stand up tall
And bargain with the bees.
They prefer to droop and mope
And wait for autumn's breeze.
The autumn's good for pumpkins,
Though apples don't approve.
The trees that they've been living on
now forces them to move,
And rudely lets them to fall
and sends them quick to their demise
Without so much a bon voyage or even a goodbye.
The winter's good for penguins,
Though brown bears must object.
When talk comes to the joys of winter,
They must interject,
"Hibernating in the snow just isn't where it's at,
because sleeping makes you skinny,
and we bears like to be fat."
The springtime is the season,
Where everyone's a friend.
Loneliness and desperation both come to an end.
No matter how you died through winter,
In spring you're born again,
Your life might not be going good,
But spring helps you to pretend.

Sometimes I'm feeling bad and then again I'm sad
but she makes me happy
Sometimes I'm feeling wrong and that I can't go on
but she makes me understand and see
She's a spoonful of sugar to me
So sweet so sweet so sweet to me
She makes me feel so right
makes everything so bright
That's why I love her you see
Best girl I ever had she never made me mad
She's the right girl wouldn't you agree?
She's a spoonful of sugar to me
So sweet so sweet so sweet to me
One thing I understand I'll soon to be a man
and I'll want her for the rest of my life
One thing we'll have to plan I'll soon want to have
her hand and I'll want her to be my wife
(third verse same as the first)

Every second of every day I let me fancy play
And if the feeling strikes me
I deliquesce into the sky without waving goodbye
While contemplating a fractured pale cathedral wall
death can't touch me at all
Let its rapacious fingers with venomous stingers try
I'd like to see it try
Try to find a way to spike the senses
till everything goes white
I had a vision of vinyl spiders in a cage
and now I avoid the stage
'Cause though it was a trifle I still can't stifle
the fear that they might just reappear
Climbing climbing climbing never falling
If it was up to me I'd freak the clouds
let them fall and grip to the sea
I think the chemicals have done
some evil thing to me

Rose Robert I'd like to welcome you to our affair. We'll write a lovely little story just you and I as time goes by me and my Rose Robert. People stare when we walk arm in arm along the thoroughfare. The gentlemen don't know whether to bow their heads or tip their hats instead at me and Rose Robert. All of our days move so slow since we stopped and let the world go on without us. We haven't get a care me and Rose Robert. You're delightful mon chere it's so lovely when we wear each others clothes. You draw on your mustache while I powder my nose. Josephine and Fanny don't compare to my Rose Robert. Rose Robert together we make quite a remarkable pair. It doesn't seem strange somehow that we never speak we just gurgle and squeak me and my Rose Robert. Few will dare to offer any pleasantries or see how we fare. I guess they assume that we have lost our wits but we're just a couple of misfits me and my Rose Robert. Rose Robert. hot chocolate eclair

shadows crawling over everything

Pancakes for one are always depressing
because having breakfast with you was such fun
Pancakes for one are no fun
Cocktails for one are never enchanting
because having drinks with you was such fun
Cocktails for one are no fun no fun no fun
Standing near the vendor on the platform
waiting for your train
But yet again you're not on it
and I'm crestfallen holding a drooping flower bouquet
A sundae for one is never delicious
because eating junk food with you was such fun
A Sunday for one is no fun
All I've left of you is a photograph
which only upsets me
cause I can't draw your attention
your frozen in time
Pancakes for one are always depressing
because having breakfast with you was such fun
Pancakes for one are no fun

Oslo in the summertime nobody can fall asleep
I'm staring out the window from my bed
At 4 a.m. the sun is up
look the sky is pepppered with sea birds and with crows all cackeling
HVA?
Up in tre ten Heimdalsgate
me and Nina making fun of footballers in Rudolph Neilson Plass
I practice my norwegian on poor beffudeled waitresses
who shake their heads completely at a loss
Oslo in the summertime the streets are strangely quite 'cause
everyone's away on holiday
HVA?
Oslo in the summertime Pakistani children play locked inside of the courtyard
all day
Pretty people everywhere sun lamp tans and flaxen hair
Just tell the American not to stare
HVA?

Your hair is so dark, it's curls are dancing flames of black fire
Allah created you just for us to admire
I doubt that you're the only one like you that I'll find
But for sure you're one of a very few of a kind, Yes you are
Your eyes are so clear, the seem to speak to me from a gleeful world
And they look link singing moons made of black pearl.
I'm not saying that you're the only one like you that I'll find
But for sure you're one of a very few of a kind, Yes you are
You're as stunning as a tidal wave of wisteria
Just a smile from you has sent gents into hysteria
I doubt that you're the only one like you that I'll find
But for sure you're one of a very few of a kind
One of a very few of a kind

There's an echo in my body echoes slide
Down the roof
You looked like heaven in bloom, I might now
Look deep in those eyes
Whose kindness moves my Texas to Oklahoma
Drops of light on the bed rolling off into a
Puddle on the floor You unbuttoned your life
And let me go
My eyes are as brown as blueberries love
Must put a mountain outside every window
I was crying my eyes out everything I drank
turned to cherry cola tears, iced tea tears
I want to grab your words and fill them with
Coffee there we lie like monkees in our beds
Burying each frown that gets born
I'll climb up under your nightgown we'll try to
Tickle a laugh out of the mattress
I'll use your boobs for a pillow

I know that in my dreaming world
the friends I've made aren't imprisoned there
and they are not pretend.
They are just as real as this world
that I've grown to know.
And though I have enjoyed myself I really have to go
Let's go for a walk so I can say goodbye to you.
That is unless you'd like to come too.

I want to write something beautiful,
Something so beautiful
That I just can't sing it
without getting that incredible feeling,
The one that just overwhelms my senses.
Because it's the only thing I have,
It's the only thing that makes my life worthwhile.
I know there aren't too many people
Who allow themselves to say what they feel,
So I was watching your eyes,
In case they just might say something.
I want to think someone's beautiful,
That they're so beautiful it's a thrill to be near them.
Fill my stomach with butterflies,
have me floating on air,
Bring something out of me I didn't know was there.
But it's such a torturous thing
That I am not excited by anyone.
I know there aren't too many people
Who allow themselves to say what they feel,
So I was watching your eyes,
In case they just might say something.

Everybody does the same things
Everybody's the same
Everyone that is 'cept for my friend Nicki Lighthouse
She is from the jungle and has never rode a bike
Instead she rides on apes and llamas
everywhere she goes
And everywhre she goes the boring people say
"There she goes again
the strangest girl that's ever been"
Everybody thinks the same things
Everybody's the same
Everyone that is 'cept for my friend Nicki Lighthouse
Where she's from forward is backward
and down is up
so she eats her dinner on the ceiling
and wallpapers the floor
And everywhre she goes the boring people say
"There she goes again
the strangest girl that's ever been"
I'm a big fan Nicki Lighthouse
You know that I am
You know that I am

Sundays were made for strolls through the park
though before today she'd always gone alone
Now the sun shines down all around them
cause Natalie's not alone she's not alone
On Friday she'd bought a Yorkshire terrier
and instantly found a true friend of her own
Now they sing and skip through the flowers
cause Natalie's not alone she's not alone
She named him Effie
Effie was his name despite a bladder problem
she loved him just the same
She takes him nearly every where she goes
he delights her with the many tricks he knows
Now the sun shines down all around them
cause Natalie's not alone
She knits him sweaters and woolen Winter hats
from the window she watches him chase the neighbors cats
And laughs and laughs "Hey Effie
would you like to go for a walk?
Would you like to go for a ride?"
And Effie never left her side until she died

I wish I knew a man
Someone to steal me
from this sadness
I wish I knew a girl
Who'd run her fingers
through my hair and kiss me
Wish I didn't have to pretend
That when I'm talking to the floor I'm talking to you
If I had a friend then
such stupid things I'd never have to do
I wish I had a friend
I wish I knew a man
One who'd help me to stop disguising my feelings
I wish I knew a girl
Who'd keep me from silencing my heart's voice
Oh I wish I didn't feel like an island
No country will claim
Wish I had a friend who'd stop me
From falling into this depression all over again
I wish I had a friend like that
But I know it will never be
So that friend for me has to come from inside of me
My friend will have to be me
I wish I knew a man
Someone to help me stop being self conscious
I wish I knew a girl
One to take away my fear of dying
I wish I weren't afraid that some spirit
Will come out of the darkness and carry me away
I wish I had a friend whom if that happened
Would storm right in and save the day
I wish I had a friend like that
But I know it will never be
So that friend for me has to come from inside of me
My friend will have to be me

I was never young even as a child
I was never young I always felt beguiled
No I just never smiled
But you you have a glow glow from an innocence I'll never know
Cause I was never young even as a boy
No I was never young, kindness seemed a ploy to temper or alloy
But you you have a mind full of a wonderment I'll never find
Cause I was never young
Ever since I was a kid I've been a brutal basket cast
Ever since I was a kid I've been a brooding basket case

I've lost, and don't remember what I saw in you
Your charms have become less charming
Your sweetness decreases everyday
My dear darling, I've forgotten what I saw in you.
Now I'm lost, I don't know a gentle way to say
that our life together is over and its best that you find someone new
because my darling, I've forgotten what I saw in you.
I seem to recall some vague memory of feeling happy, when we were young and in
love.
But that was a long time ago.
Now I'm lost, Never in a million years what I have dreamt that about you I'd
become indifferent.
But sweetheart, incredibly it's true.... that your cutie pie has forgotten what
he saw in you.
Please don't think that I'm being impulsive or careless and that I'm not
miserable too, but I just can't continue this lie
I'm lost.
I wish this had a happy ending
I wish there was something I could do
But, my darling, I've forgotten what I saw in you.
I've forgotten what I saw in you.

On our trip to England I noticed something obscene
People still actually give a shit about the Queen
Though London girls aren't snobs at all
and Brighton's lovely in the Fall
Left alone to drive ourselves on the opposite side
Man it was a miracle that nobody died
Hanging out with Steven Drew, Theo,
Paul and Sorrel too
Eating at Welcome Breaks daily
We danced in Leeds with Brit Pop Haley
Performing with the Apples
and then crashing at the Wrights
Bitching because Steven booked us
on such early flights
Always in a foggy haze
because we hadn't slept for days
Every single one of our London cabbies played
The most truly repellent techno music ever made
But they'll drop you without hesitation if you try changing the station
Up to our necks in crisps and litter
in the van we dubbed the Gary Glitter

Nothing can save me
from the pain of you not loving me
It doesn't help me to complain
I just have to feel it until it goes away
It's so useless and it hurts just like it did before
I'm afraid that I'll close up inside
And no longer feel anything anymore
It's such a strange need to be deprived of
To just want to love and Feel happy

Montreal is
Where I began to feel inside
the gray sadness of winter.
When you told me that this isn't it,
And I drove away.
Walking to the statue in the park,
Through snow drifts up over our knees,
And every street sign written in French.
We sat by the statue.
You looked in my eyes,
Then said, "I'm so sorry."
Later, laying on your bed,
Wondering what's going wrong.
Every time I'd ask you'd start crying,
And whisper, "I don't know why,
I only know what I feel,
what a voice says to me"
I may be here now
but I've never left Montreal

Here I sit planted in the mud. A mushroom of melted molecules. Where language

Here comes the pony that one the Tony. There were flaws in the experiment I'll
tell you bout it if you're interested to know It was creepy the way they hovered
above end swooped down on the children. Their mouths agape exposing fangs of
fire. run children run
The three legged hyena cicadas migrated to the small northern sea port village
called Durschfuch. The horrible insects congregated above the Durschfuch
elementary school and would spend an indecent amount of time circling the
playground. The citizens of the village were very alarmed by these new visitors,
but since they were a God fearing community and were not allowed to bring any
harm to any of God's creations, they had to pretend to ignore the large
grotesque arthropods and continue on with their lives as if there weren't any
menacing predators swooping over their offspring. In time the hyena cicadas
became hungry and this in when the real terror ensued. As I stated earlier, the
adults of the village, thought the best course of action was to pretend the
insects didn't exist and continued to send the children out to the playground
for recess. Every day the same thing occurred; the children would stand
apprehensively at the threshold of the front gate until the teachers ordered
them outside to "play", then the children would run terrified towards the
shelter of the banyan trees that formed an oval around the perimeter of the
school yard. There they would spend the duration of recess huddling together
under the trees, shaking with fear. For the first few weeks the children managed
each day to narrowly cheat death by hiding below the trees. Eventually the hyena
cicadas became mad with hunger and resolved to become more aggressive in their
attempt to eat the children. One of the more intelligent cicadas, who happened
to be the most famished of all of them, had the idea that some of the flock
should hide among the foliage of the banyan trees while the others swooped over
the children as usual. Then when all of the children were in their normal
positions under the trees, the hyena cicadas hiding in the branches would
descend upon them and kill them. After that all of the flonk could gather under
the trees for a delicious feast. His plan worked perfectly and the adults of the
village watched helplessly as the hyena cicadas ravenously devoured their
beloved young ones

Kissing in the grass smiling to say
"oh golly gee I think you're dreamy"
learning so much that way
I do tend to believe
there's precious little that could amount to more
Then kissing in the grass smiling to say
"oh golly gee I hear bells ringing"
forgetting so much that way
I do tend to believe there's precious little
that illuminates us more then kissing in the grass

Look in my eyes what do you see?
I'm hanging upside down like a chimpanzee
When I'm with my friends riding somewhere on a crowded bus
There is nothing that I want to discuss
I just sit and smile thinking about us
What is this that sends black fireworks dancing around me?
When we kiss the explosiveness is life's sweet mystery
I feel like a balloon floating higher I'm touching a distant moon
I don't think I'll come down anytime soon
Ah my kitten I am so glad you're the way you are
You're my favorite living human by far
'cause you make this frightening world less bizarre

Princesses Princesses
Princesses Princesses Princesses
Katie and Caroline are
throwing a tea party from 8 to 9
Everyone is happy and feeling fine
Grammy and Pa will be there
of course Nanna will be there too
Katie and Caroline are a mix
of smiling flowers and sunshine
And are as clever as three foot miniature Einsteins
Uncles Nina and Gonzo love them
of course Uncle Mouse does too
And one day you'll have real horses to ride
And you'll never ever want to leave each other's side
Katie and Caroline never act
real grouchy like a porcupine
They're the sweetest creatures yes a flawless design
You've made your mommies oh so happy
and your daddies oh so too

What kind of comedy is this all of the danger you've discovered
What kind of comedy is this how can you say now you're frightened
You labeled me in forty tries and in case you didn't realize
I was a landscape in your dream and all my mountains were on fire
What kind of labyrinth is this that we're constructing through talking
What kind of labyrinth is this that sends you laughing without smiling
Age brings a sad little surprise and in case you didn't realize
While you were calculating tears my head expired

Nothing can save me from the pain
of you not loving me
It doesn't help me to complain
I just have to feel it
and hope it goes away
But it's so useless and it hurts just like it did before I'm afraid that I'll
close up inside
and no longer feel anything anymore
It's such a strange need to be deprived of
To just want love and feel happy

Jennifer Louise you don't know me but we're cousins
your mamamama and my mamamama are sisters
Jennifer Louise I haven't seen you since I was a kid
when my family spent the weekend at your house
and your father helped when my eyelashes stuck together
My mom told me that now
you're a young professional
living with a significant someone
Jennifer Louise we know so little about each other
I'll probably never call you up,
write you a letter or see you in person
Basically Jennifer Louise you don't know me
and we're not friends
But I was just wondering about you
wondering if you ever think about me

It's easy to sleep when you're dead but you're unable to touch your loved ones,
give them kisses or see them smile at you
It's easy to sleep when you're dead but you give up your whole life's work
and you can't reverse the bad things that you did
While alive you still have hope that when you die you are dead
and you know for sure if it's better, if it's better, if it's better
I hope it's better
It's easy to sleep when you're dead
Though you can't feel the warmth of summer, smell the flowers of spring, or
drink cider in the fall
It's easy to sleep when you're dead though it's too late to say the words you
wanted them to hear when you didn't have the nerve.
You get to spend eternity thinking about your life.
Think of all the time that is. Eternity is forever, is forever, is forever. What
will I do forever?
At this time there is nothing you can change. You can only sit and watch and
hope they understand
It's easy to sleep when you're dead. Cause there isn't anything else to do but
sleep. I feel sorry for the dead.

First there was the 'fable of the bull'
told by the picador
Then an Orwellian raping of a virgin apple core
An apple core an apple core an apple
Core an apple core an apple
Next our minds were supping up the horrors
that our vicious master's whip
Was serving us in rituals nefariously hip
Wickedly hip wickedly hip wickedly
Hip wickedly hip wickedly
I had to don a disguise to see her slinking down
the snaking hallways to her chamber
But I wasn't prepared to encounter the vision
Of she and It engaged in defiling of the sacred
In an instant her face became so plaintive
And I watched as she transformed
into the Black Amaranth
The next morning I espied
in a window framed in brass
The story of her condemnation
portrayed in the stained glass
In the stained glass
in the stained glass in the stained
Glass in the stained glass in the stained
Glass

All the baby spiders in the nursery
waving to each other clinging to their mothers
and smile at their dads who say
'Now that's a clever lad'
One particular spider, who's parents had named Ira, fell out of his mother's arms and became lost inside the giant insect hospital. Since mother spiders give birth to so many babies at one time it is exceedingly difficult to keep track of all of them and sometimes a baby will get lost without it's mother ever being aware of its absence. Ira was just such a case. He crawled about for hours crying but his mother couldn't hear him for Ira was a mute. This is where the story gets interesting.
He opened his mouth and discovered a lake in a crater on his tongue. He was thirsty so he drank from the lake. This proved to be a fatal mistake as the lake was really a cake filled with poisonous snakes, and Ira died.
A nurse discovered dead baby Ira and sank with grief. She gently lifted him up to her breast and carried him weeping to the head nurse to see if any baby spiders had been reported missing. The head nurse checked her missing baby spider file and told her that 'No, no missing baby spiders have been reported.' The nurse holding dead baby Ira then asked if they could have a funeral for him. The head nurse, being a very caring grasshopper, agreed that that would be the proper thing to do. So they dug a small hole near a yellow tulip, held a brief but moving requiem and with great sadness buried baby Ira.
Miraculously, Ira was quickly reincarnated as a wild horse on the far off planet called Nearly. on Nearly, wild horses hold the majority in the senate and Ira has discovered pudding. His favorite is the kind without raisins.

Riding to the station on the bus
Cause I want to pick out some books
But Jen She's a librarian
and she hunts my butt to this day
Usually the bills make me stay
the night at banks so...
Sorry but you're just not my type
You know I'll walk you home anyway
Did you know I had a funny dream
and in it I was in the army
Riding to the station on the bus
Cause I want to pick out some books
But Jen She's a librarian
So it's time to get down spin on the ground
And say I want to turn the daytime into dusk
Or if you're very tired we can simply retire
and say I want to turn the nighttime into day
Sorry but you're just not my type
You know I'll walk you home anyway
Did you know I had a funny dream
and in it I was in the army.

You remind me of a snowflake
That falls while comets hit the earth,
Destroying buildings and trees.
But you are so light in the air,
You never disrupt a thing.
Orenda, if you were here
I could walk through you,
Orenda.
In my bed at night I dream you're a ghost
That only cats can see.
Some nights you talk to me.
Some nights you sing me to sleep,
While moonlight showers the room.
Orenda, if you were here
I could walk through you,
Orenda.
In dreams I dance with you.
We dance the best in the kitchen.
While murderers and rapists surround the house.
We don't care,
Because our house is made of feathers.
They wouldn't dare.
In dreams I dance with you,
Though our bodies are made out of wood.

Honeymoon in San Francisco, what a grand idea.
We'll rent a room in a four-star hotel
We'll spend the whole time drunk on champagne and lime
We'll never feel the need to get out of bed, though on occasion we'll charter a
boat sail off to a distant island
Once there we'll take off our shoes and relax beneath the sun
We won't care if we lose our minds
We won't care if we live or die
We'll spend the whole time drunk on champagne and lime
We won't care if we lose our minds

Nothing, we're doing nothing
just sitting and wondering why nothing's happening
Everyone was there in a wooden chair doing nothing
Still doing nothing, drinking smoking
nothing's happening
No one seems to care in their wooden chair
doing nothing
I go walking through the park
underneath a moldy sky
Thinking "yes I think this place
would be such a lonely place to die,
such a lonely place to die"
Nothing we're doing nothing
literally frozen stiff from nothing happening
Something has to change
cause it's no longer feeling strange
to do nothing Ad nauseam nothing
and feeling acutely every millisecond pass
We can ignore that this is sad
because we know that it all adds up to nothing
I go walking though the park
underneath the moldy sky
Thinking about all the different ways that would make lonely ways to die
all the lonely ways to die

Come disconnect the dots with me poppet
come disconnect the dots
Come disconnect the dots with me poppet
come disconnect the dots
It's so beautiful
Our lunacy
It's so beautiful

If I faltered slightly twice singling a double or
Botching a landing if that was my routine it
Was Torture
I know that it's not an understatement there
Will be no wedding to you, I wont have
Trouble understanding
You're the biggest lie of all I told to myself
And now we're being honest
There was something in your bed while you
Were sleeping there in your friend's bed
Not quite the person you were in love with
I used to think I had somebody watching
Over me

Hello from inside a shell you can see me cause my shell is invisible. It was
made especially for me by the brilliant inventor Lecithin E. I ride my unicycle
downstairs to his laboratory when I know he's there Working on robotic aquatic
bees, perfecting his mechanical donkeys or running from exploding test tubes.
Hello from inside a shell you can see me cause my shell is invisible. It was
made especially for me by the infamous inventor Lecithin E. I ride my boat car
through the rays of his reverse magnetizer when I'm feeling brave. Then
everything I touch shoots into space and astronauts shake their fists at us
saying be careful. He's promised to build us a world of our own far away from
this one In uncharted regions where no one will go. He's promised to build us a
world of our own. We'll find an island somewhere near the North Pole And He'll
invent lots of strange new animals to inhabit it so we won't feel alone. And
we'll be happy there there there all covered in snow. He's promised to build us
a world of our own and here we go

Over a sea of grief Scarlet died
above her dying mind were fossilfied memory imprints of her favorite day
for a minute I stayed watching this brilliant display
until a god with a broom came and swept them away
In their bereavement all of her colorful friends
Turned to a milky grey depressing blend
Which incidentally made Grey feel inane
So he set off to find a less trite identity
One as stunning and bold as Scarlet used to be

Something propels me something compels me to say. How often are you this way. If
you're this charming all the time I'll be forced to tell you darling here's a
dime, go call you mine. Here's a dime, go call you mine

She's not quite like the
conventional sister no she's not
I've never seen her frown
or hold her head down
I've never heard her say
"I'm bored" or "get away"
I tip top topple over for my fun loving nun
Cause she has so much fun has so much joy
And so much wonderful love for everyone
She's not like an ordinary person no she's not
She turns a lonely room into a happy place
Transforms a grumpy look into a smiling face
Some of us get covered up by the world
Become bitter from our loneliness
and forget our dreams
But she takes notice of the beauty everywhere
And wherever she finds herself
she feels peaceful there
I tip top topple over for my fun loving nun
Cause she has so much fun has so much joy
And so much wonderful love for everyone

The language of the frost lobs dead balloons over ruins today
In view of wan wordless crowds that chase waifs to spires with fiery plumes
And incite the firmament's portrait of 'A Drowning in Styx'
That gives impotents kicks
Boredom murders the heart of our age while sanguinary creeps take the stage
Boredom strangles the life from the printed page
Masking vapor trails from Mercury for a killer on Umbria
Who crippled birch mares now briars replace their old cotton limbs
Who will tell? I mean would it make a difference?
Look metal flower petal tears do not even appear in the Myopic Mirror
The moon was sagging in the sky as I held her face to mine
All our thoughts were coming in so clear beyond the Myopic Mirror
We were darting from the place where we just couldn't fit
For away from all the violence safely flying in our own orbit
Why do I always have to tell you "forget about the precient signs!"?
Forget about the life we knew
May we never be stripped of anything we love
may we grow so gentle never go mental
may we never go go mental
may we always stay stay gentle
what was my number? 114395? I don't care!
No no no no no

It's crazy to think how I was living like prisoner
But now I am free not tied to a past I never wanted anyway
Life, before I met you, was just a bunch of yesterdays
But now I worry I've invested too much
'cause when you're away from me
everything just gets so ugly
Giving you my heart was not a mistake I don't regret it
And though it shook up my friends
I hope that they know that I still love them all the same
I just had to move on and start my grown up life with you
You and me and our little Alabee
My god it happened to me
I really have my own family

All I ever get is sad love
while watching all my friends find their happy love
I don't understand why I should be without love
All I ever get is sad love
always falling for the ones who feel nothing for me
Sometimes I think I should just forget about love
I was walking with my parents
through St. Peter's park
When I saw a young couple with a child
They were all holding hands and smiling
They seemed very nice, seemed to have a nice life
All I ever get is sad love
feeling incomplete and below being loved
I don't know why it has been so hard to find love
All I ever get is sad love
the unrequited kind is all I have procured
And it was nothing at all
like what I've heard about love
Without love life has no great reward
leaving us damaged or feeling so bored
Devoid of memories nothing to record
Wishing the ones that we adore loved us more

How will I ever know you enough to love you
if you're hiding who you are?
Don't ask me to explain.
Who are you hiding you from,
across the table with a penny in each eye?
Don't ask me to explain.
I'd like to marry all of my close friends,
And live in a big house together by an angry sea.
Am I the devil's marbles don't move on without me
Who will be watching my body when I sleep?
Who will I believe in?
How am I supposed to let it show when I don't even know?
Don't ask me to explain.
Besides, I don't want to be the one whose coming out first,
I'd really like to but I'm just too shy.
Don't ask me to explain.
I'd want to marry all of my close friends,
And live in a big house together by an angry sea.
Am I the devil's marbles don't move on without me
Who will be watching my body when I sleep?
Who will I believe in?
It's so easy to lie to myself
and pretend that I could love you but I can't

I want to dance so I don't have to think anymore
about the steam cleaned caterpillar in the pinafore
I want to dance till the meanings of words are replaced
by the snobbish foppish dandies with discriminating taste
taking lady's place and bouncing her face
up the escalator to inspect the fay new blonde
I want to dance to the voice of the phantom oboe
performing spritely melodies of a rococo
I want to dance to the rhythm of owls
in a plumb who have fashioned tiny instruments
plucked with their thumbs
no feeling is more safe
then when you embrace me dancing
we don't need to call any of our friends
because I don't even care who else is there
if dancing is your legs laughing,
choking is your throat heckling,
cement grapes are falling (falling falling)
ah but the limp nymphs are calling me to dance
I'm so sick and tired of always feeling down
yeah just sitting around yeah wasting my life
I want to dance I want to dance I want to dance

You are my cutie pie, my cutie pie, yes you are
You are my cutie pie, my cutie pie, yes you are
You'll be my cutie pie until the day I die
I hope that's a long time, cause I dont wanna die
You are my cutie pie, my cutie pie, yes you are
You are my cutie pie, my cutie pie, yes you are
You'll be my cutie pie until the day I die
I hope that's a long time, cause I dont wanna die
and live without my cutie pie

When I'm caught in a net and I haven't a clue
All I've got to do is climb the ladder to you
Climb the Ladder
When there are ghosts in my coat
and everything is askew
All I've got to do is climb the ladder to you
Climb the ladder to you
All of these faces are crowding around me
with mouths open wide to devour
But they have no impact no I do not cower
knowing I'm safe in your tower
When my pencil tips broken and my brain is too
All I've got to do is climb the ladder to you
Climb the ladder
When I feel like an oar in a sunken canoe
All I've got to do is climb the ladder to you
Climb the ladder to you
All of these faces are crowding around me
like grey paint caked on a flower
But they have no impact no value no power
knowing I'm safe in your tower

City bird haven't you heard
hasn't anybody told you?
These city blocks can't hold you
Your place is in the sky how can I show you?
City bird haven't you learned
of the boundlessness of your freedom
The sky is your blue kingdom
You neglect your wings like you don't need them
City bird maybe these hands that feed you need you
Maybe you understand that city bird

I like you cause you look like a giraffe stretching out it's neck to get to fruit in a tall tree. You're always occupied with girly things your room is filled with girly posters of teen idols and roller coasters and funny things like that you've got a red and purple striped stuffed animal cat that takes up half the bed. I like to pretend you're made out of a drawbridge operator's favorite radio program 'argh, you're listening to 81.3 sound of the sea' while I'm training troops in parachutes how to act froufrou so when their seargents return from butterscotching Mr. Lynn they can do the charlston while I paint the face of Private Fontaine on his enemies face and do the same to him until the ballrooms filled with soldiers wondering if they like them selves and all are forced to forgive and forget

On a bus stop bench sat an ancient lady
It was clear she was dead yeah we all could agree
And that death had arrived quite unexpectedly
Cause the poor wretch died with a book on her knee
Chrissy kiss the corpse
Chrissy kiss the corpse
David drew a mustache under her nose
Nick put a burning match between her toes
I put a cockroach in her pantyhose
Chrissy put on some lipstick
and struck a dramatic pose
Chrissy's such a pretty lass
as benign as broken glass
No one in her family knows
the vile hobby that she chose
Some cops came by so we hid behind a tree
I peeked out and they noticed me
And said fondling the dead is a felony
But you got nothing to fear
'cause we only came to see
Chrissy kiss the corpse
to see Chrissy kiss the corpse
Chrissy's such a pretty thing
gentle as a scorpion sting
No one ever would suspect
that her mind's completely wrecked

I'd like to lntroduce you now to Isabell lam present owner of the Edward lam wax museum daughter of the comedic duo Dorothy and Edward. Do you remember them? They accomplished mild success on the stages of the vaudeville theatres in Blackpool and in London that was before the advent of Hollywood. When vaudeville died and people stopped going to see them So they took out a loan and built a big wax museum inside of an old aban- dened vaudeville theatre. It was about this time that Dorothy gave birth to their only child and named her Isabell and from that day they were so happy and gay. Momma,papa and their sweet and thoughtful treasured fair haired angel baby girl. Eventually a half a century passes we see Edward in a wheel chair Dorothy in granny glasses and Isabell the proud proprietor of the wax museam. Wax Museum. Isabell would you like to tell about the bell hidden inside your name. Does it ring every time someone calle out Isabell? Do you hear it when you run? If it broke they'd yell out 'Isa' instead of Isabell until you fixed your bell

I love to sleep I love my bed
cause it brings strange dreams to me
and life's much better when I'm asleep I can see anything don't
have to worry about anything
I know you love to sleep you love your pillows
cause they bring sweet dreams to you
and life's much better when you're asleep
you can do anything don't have to fuss over anything
I can't wait to be old growing senile together
holding hands and both completely out of our heads
We won't notice when we're dead
we'll be too busy dreaming too busy dreaming
We'll be too busy dreaming
Life's much better when you're asleep
you can do anything don't have to fuss over anything
Well there's nothing quite as great
it's my favorite mental state
subconscious stream of thought
creates avant garde films in my mind
and watching them is how I like to spend my time
I love to sleep I love my bed
cause it brings strange dreams to me
and life's much better when I'm asleep
I can do anything don't have to care about anything
I can't wait to be old growing senile together
holding hands and both completely out of our heads
We won't notice when we're dead
we'll be too busy dreaming too busy dreaming
We'll be too busy dreaming

The octopus in your purse
is cursing like an evil sailor
But remember the knife is worse
for the editors of movie trailers
And if you want me to
I'll help it's all the same to me
just tell me if you want me to
If you keep killing God in your eye
people will think you're really callous
But no matter how hard you try
you'll never be as weird as Uncle Alice
I'm not upset just confused and it's so tough
I can't relate to this world I'm not bored enough
Watch out the music will complete the change in you
To sing this song in braille
you need to be haunted by glass freckles
And if your color treatment fails
well you can always talk to Erik Eckles

He'd explain to you but it would take too long
Why he is right and everybody else is wrong
He'd endeavor friend to make your mind correct
He'd try but he thinks it would take too long too long
It's probably simple math
that keeps him on his elevated path
While talking to him it is very rare
to sense that he's acknowledging you're even there
Or else he'll speak as if you should be taking notes
But fears that you might steal
one of his brilliant quotes
There's no idea that you could add
that he wouldn't claim to have already had
He used to be a really decent guy
before his insecurities enslaved him
Now his ego seems to be raging uncontrollably
Destroying every friendship that he's ever had
I don't even like to think about him it's so very sad
Only a boy of three would dare act so egregiously
Now the kind of places he's most often found
Are rife with pedants running topics into the ground
And the company that he is known to keep
Are all self important bores
that put you right to sleep
Yes I'd rather be hung
than hear them discussing Carl Jung

You should stay away from roses
And be careful to avoid
chocolate hearts
Keep distant from romantic notions
Cause that's where love
most often starts
Be sure to steer clear of diamonds
And mink coats are most certainly out too
For if she goes in for that kind of thing
Just might fall then what you will do
You know you've always been the sort
Who's truly only fond of the sport
And who will never be satisfied
Reclining in slippers by the fireside
With a wife's constant nagging
for things that you can't provide
Who no longer bears resemblance
to that soft spoken flower
You were so desperate to have for your bride
Too much conversing with a woman
tends to dull a man's wit
Never be taken in by poets
Who claim that love if it's pure will never fade
Though love may last all right in a bibliotheque
In the real world man its too easily unmade
So don't take your freedom for granted
Don't let curiosity take you for a ride
As years drag on when you wake up next to her
You'll wish that in your sleep you had died
You'll wish you had died

Emily do you think it's safe to guess
that you'll be different from the rest
Emily I don't know if you're truly make believe
but my mind is open to you anyhow
Oh someday I will say the following words to you
Emily you're very different from the rest
you have me really quite impressed
Emily I don't know if you're truly someone's dream
but my mind is open to you now
Now Emily brings a tray of parfait
to the troops of sinuous felines
lounging in her chaise longue
Now Emily with an ardent oratory
inspires the troops of sinuous felines
to do the bidding of
Emily you know I'd love to know you best
but are your confessions just in jest?
Emily I hope that you are truly what you seem
cause my heart is open to you

You're my muse you're my silly goose and every day is a dreamy day of
daydreaming of you. You're my one you're my honey bun and every day is a dreamy
day of daydreaming of you. I can dream of you without snoring and I'm lucky that
that's true. Because everyone would know that I found them boring simply because
they're not you. All I want to do is lay in the daisies and daydream of you know
who I'm referring to...you. You're my love you're my star above And everyday is
a dreamy day of daydreaming of you

The crowd gathers the rain
The crowd gathers
inside the rain
The sky is green
Greener than a
gardener's dream
The grass is green
Together they sing
Gaily gaily glee
gaily glee gaily gaily glee
Green glass fish glide
cream colored glass
Umi ni ukande means floating on the sea
Me and my pussycat floating on the sea
There are blackbirds in rows behind the clouds
Pecking at the clouds
Poking holes in the clouds
Rain pours out of the holds in the clouds
When the clouds are empty
The birds climb inside and sing
I don't mind a rainy day
It doesn't make me blue like it's supposed to
Doesn't make me blue like it's supposed to
But I don't like this lonely life
It really makes me blue like it's supposed to
It makes me blue like its supposed to

Dear sweet brother of mine
I'm so glad you've made it
You've really accomplished something incredible
And I'm so very proud of the art we create now
I love you I love you
And I know that you love me too
Dear sweet brother of mine
I'm so glad to say it
Together we're making something incredible
And I'm so very proud of the way that we live now
I love you I love you
And I know that you love me too
Its strange how when we were young
I was so mean to you
I didn't know the connection we had till we go older
But now yes now
Dear sweet brother of mine
I feel I should say that
All of these things I make with you
give my life meaning
What started with the Gay Parade
Will continue till the end of our days

I'm so excited, I just can't wait for you to come
I've been living alone and lonely far too long
When I see your face and the love that's in your eyes
You know I just can't place this feeling
I'm so excited
All my sad days will soon be over
I know you can do it
Because you did it before
And I'm happy when I'm with you
I guess it's a lot to ask of you
To change everything that's bad
You know I have to laugh at this feeling
There's one thing I hesitate to add
What if it turns out bad?
We'll be living together
Will we be spending too much time together?
I'm gonna find out just how close we really are
And if having you around is better than being alone
If I had to bet whether this works or not

My Auntie Eleanor had a very unhappy husband
who hated his job and hated his life
So he wanted to drive his tan Chevy
off of a bridge because he hated his car
and he hated his life
He couldn't silence the ever present thought
"I'm doing all I can yet I'm an unsuccessful man"
And his heart was blank
don't we know what blank people are good for
what they are good for?
My Auntie Eleanor had a very unhappy husband
who just couldn't escape or catch a break
So he wanted to ride his bike
blindfolded into traffic
cause he hated his bike and he hated his life
His heart was consumed with guilt
from the knowledge he had not
become a successful man
he was an unsuccessful man
and his heart was blank
don't we know what blank people are good for
what they are good for?
Till one day my Auntie introduced him
to her friend named Gwendoline
and she must have made a stunning first impression
because he left my Auntie
and never came back again leaving with Gwendoline
But my Auntie didn't care
she knew she could find
another blank husband anywhere
by God they're everywhere
My Auntie Eleanor had a very unhappy husband

Before the laughter and the cheer dissolves into his memory, taste of vodka on
his lips, and thoughts of murder and doom, her eyes appeared to bloom, he wanted
to touch them but was afraid she taken aback then what would he say?
They walked to the garden in the park when it was empty after dark then spread
out a blanket and laid down and a voice said, "No one else could hear." He
whispered in here ear, "Although I can't sing it now, be still..some day baby I
will.. sing you a love you song."
She rolled over and a kiss laid softly on his chin and said, "You know maybe
there's a chance that your feelings you've mistook or have presently
overlooked... You say you don't love me, but yet perhaps you just forget that
you do."
He said that, "I love you please believe the only matter of concern is that your
love will one day fade. If that should happen I would die, and that's the reason
why I know I can't sing it now but be still cos some day baby I will sing you a
love you song...."
She said, "How could you question when the root of my affection is so plain and
obvious? It grew from the overwhelming pleasure of just being near you and now
bring in doubts and they are smothering our love!"

It's funny that when I die my friends will get to see
what kind of suit my mom buries me in
I hope it's dark blue with blue stars
When the priest leans over me
and starts talking about Jesus
and the state of my soul please remind him
we're having a funeral here not a play
Pick me up
Four for each side of the box
March me to the shiny black car
Long winding procession of cars
Mostly of silver and black
Gentleman in black suits and the ladies in black
Dresses and gloves
Now carry me out to the grave
The spot where I've paid to be buried
And just before whoever gives the command
to send my body down
I'll jump out of the box and tap dance
from head to bald head
I'll swoop and I'll spin I'll rise and dive down again
I'll laugh like a baby so happy and free
And no one wlil see no one will notice me

Nickee Coco woke up early one Tuesday morning and decided to go for a walk in
the tomato field behind her house. As she was walking along she saw a
magnificently tall invisible tree and decided to climb up on it. She found the
foliage covered branches so comfortable that she fell fast asleep. She was still
asleep when nightfall came and her mother became frantic with worry. She ran
from house to house asking everyone she saw if they had seen Nickee or knew
where she was. Soon the whole town was aware of Nickee's disappearance and they
immediately started the search.
And so the search began
Everybody was looking for Nickee Coco
They looked on rooftops and in trees in the park
Mr. Temboley even shouted down the well
"Nickee Coco if you are down there give a yell"
but he didn't hear a yell
And so the search went on
Everybody was still looking for Nickee Coco
They asked the stuttering organ grinder in the square
Who said "No no no no
I hav-hav-haven't heard a thi-thing
But the second that I-I-I d-d-do I'll gi-gi-give a ring
Oh-oh-oh the poor poor poor little thing"
All the while Nickee was curled up fast asleep
Very peaceful in her invisible tree
Eating mangos in a dream
And so the search went on
All the while Nickee was curled up fast asleep
No longer peaceful in her invisible tree
Being chased by antelopes in a dream
And so the search went on
They're wondering if they'll ever find Nickee Coco
Nickee's mother asked Miss Colvendom in tears
"Margaret tell me what on earth I've done
To deserve losing my sweet beloved one?
What could I have possibly done?"
Many weeks passed and though some people were beginning to lose hope they all
kept searching and never did Nickee leave their thoughts. One day an owl
happened to fly past Nickee still sleeping soundly up in the invisible tree and
rushed back to tell the townspeople. After an owl translator was called in and
the owl's wonderful message was understood the whole town joyously followed the
owl back to the invisible tree where little Nickee was still fast asleep. They
all cheered when they saw her and Nickee finally awoke as they lifted her above
their heads and marched victoriously back into town where they had a huge party
in honor of her return and sang this song...
We love you Nickee Coco
We were so sad when we thought we had lost you
Nickee Coco now we're so happy
because at last
we found you
we found you
we love you

Do you remember that one Christmas when we
Didn't think we'd be together.
We were almost seperated by the weather
But I ran through the snow
Right up to your window and smiled cause I
Was so absolutely happy to be with you
All our relatives were too afraid to drive
Through the snow
We got to spend the day alone, I swear it
Was the most beautiful day I know
We sat by the fire and opened the presents
That we'd gotten for each other then after
You telephoned your mother. We cuddled on
The couch, drank cocoa by the tree and you
Smiled cause you were so absolutely happy
To be with me
The day went by so fast and as night
Approached we laughed at our luck. The
Snow had let up
After the roads were cleared all our relatives
Suddenly appeared
So we blew out the candles and replaced
Frank Sinatra with Phil Spector's Christmas record
Our grandparents filed in all plaid and
Checkered with their arms filled with gifts
And delicious desserts and we smiled
Cause we were so absolutely happy
So very very happy to be together

Hector Ormano is my favorite boxer
He goes smasho and everyone cheers
He turns big men into whimpering cowards
He's so strong and how I adore him
But I'm so weak
So much so that I'm afraid
to walk alone down my street
I know I'll never be as brave as Hector Ormano
Hector Ormano is my favorite boxer
His smile is so white like elephant ivory
He's so handsome and all of his girlfriends
Are tall and blonde with hourglass curves
But I don't know many girls
And I certainly don't know any girls like that
Even if I did I wouldn't be as cool as Hector Ormano
One summer day I was sitting on the bridge
Looking at the water below
When I heard some laughter and a familiar voice
Coming from down the road
It was then that I saw and my heart nearly dropped
I saw Hector Ormano with some friends
And as they approached my mind went blank
As I struggled to find the words
I was dying to tell him
As Hector walked by he picked up a stick
And threw it at my head
His friends went quiet and Hector said to me
"What are you looking at wimp?"
HHHHHEEEEECCCCCTTTTTOOOOORRRRR!!!!!
Hector Ormano is my favorite boxer
Even though he was mean to me
My father says I'm a meaningless no one
Compaired to the perfect Hector Ormano

Miniature woodwinds whistle underwater
while electric eels make the ocean warm in summer
Olives that were left on the sand become bathing beach bunnies
being wooed by seashells singing elegant choruses
Little viola hidden in the orchestra, how I love to pretend the sounds you make
are flowers that slowly encircle the band.
That curl around each note that's played. The audience charmed by the floating
garden of music giddily pick musical floral bouquets.
and now its time for the play...
The actor in the center of the stage looks sadly at a teacup, reads a poem off
the teacup and covers his face with a page of a poem on the teacup and sings,
"What a terrible lie you told me. That you're heart was mine to buy. All those
feelings you implied, it all was just terrible lies...oh what a terrible lie.."
Do you remember in the first verse when I told you about the seashells singing?
Well if you wanna hear what it sounds like, you just have to listen in....
I will be a good boy and never tell you the bad things that I think about, the
nasty little things I'll keep them to myself...
I will be a good boy and never tell you the bad things that I think about, the
dirty little things I'll keep them to myself....
I will be a good boy and never tell you the bad things that I think about, the
sinister things I'll keep them to myself....

All the people look so beautiful
While they're marching in the gay parade
They make friends with trees and animals
They gather up all the countries flags
And they burn them
There is nothing left on earth to separate them
I assure you they feel
Completely free and pretty happy
All the people look so beautiful

I'm so glad I have you to think of
To channel all my loving energy into
Even though my feelings aren't returned
And in time I won't think about you this way
That still doesn't stop me
If just for now, wishing we were each other's baby
I feel these emotions for you
Still I know there's no way
That you're the person I imagine you to be
I don't know if it was chance
Or if this happened by fate
I don't expect you to feel the same
But if you did, well, that would be great
Minutes can make memories that last a life time
I distort my minutes of beauty
Into something that they're not
These things don't stop me

Oh I woke up in Divarrje
Pledging P.P. icycles and Lamar
I don't even know
Heard about my love for fairy Coquelicot oh oh oh oh oh oh.
Oh I made crepes for P.P. sleep
He's in the astronomer naming a few beds that aren't far
Persuading him to sleep his dreams in jars oh oh oh oh oh.
Plumy plum drops of pear shaped rain and tear drops dripping pastly from peacock parasols that obcure the mad procession.
Oh oh oh
I modeled hoops of glass to console P.P. who buried his hands
But can't remember when
Even if he wears his hair like then
Oh oh oh
Is that Coquelicot?
Peering throagh the poppies,
Peeping through the poppies
oh oh oh Coquelicot Coquelicot

cato play with my head i won't know the difference
if we're living in the novelist or statistician
cato mess with my concepts, my innervision
like a strobing light please confuse my every decision
i can't even pretend that you are my friend
what has happened to you and i and don't say that i have changed
cause man of course i have
are you far too depressed now to even answer the phone
i guess you just want to shave your head, have a drink and be left alone

the cats are clawing at the screen door
the neighbors are revving up their cars
the world is just exploding now with people
and all of their noises are drowning out
the cats still clawing at the screen door
I was just a hiccup in the rain
when you struck me with your cain
you made it your life's work to end up
a stain
the cats are clawing at the screen door
the neighbors blast speakers from stereos
the world is just exploding now with people
and all of their noises are drowning out
the cats still clawing at the screen door
crawling at the screen door
I was just a hiccup in the rain
when you struck me with your cain
you made it your life's work to end up
a stain
found after a party!

How can it be done?
How can we escape from this indigent state?
We try for so long, and now I'm afraid it might happen too late.
I get the sense you look at me like at some distant star.
I never really could accept how taciturn you are.
But why does it feel?
Like the choir is weeping?
And the conductor is reeling.
It's such a psychotic feeling.
I wish I could talk.
I wish I could live like there was nothing to hide.
I wish that you knew how completely I'm struggling inside.
Will you stay or will you turn away from me like them?
When you start to understand how cynical I am.
But can you say it doesn't feel
Like a skeleton has melted
And the wallpaper's peeling.
It's such a psychotic feeling.
Faster, faster, faster.
I wanna come back to you.
Oh but my head is so full of this horrible light.
It just attacks.
I can't fight back.

He's a miniature philosopher
He stands five foot three
So no one takes him seriously
He's in love with Gertrude Lullaby
But she doesn't care for him
He's like a house boy
to Miss Lullaby
And their future looks very dim
He's a miniature philosopher
He takes notes on all he reads
But that doesn't satisfy his needs
He's a desk clerk at the bank and trust
There's so many contracts and paperwork to do
He gets so busy at the bank and trust
There is no time for Nietzsche or Camus
He's a miniature philosopher
He writes essays on Voltaire
But if he died no one would care
He doesn't know why his life turned out this way
No one ever reads his dissertations or allegoric plays
So he comforts himself while searching a rhyme
That the public rarely recognize a genius in their time
(poor little guy)
He's a miniature philosopher
Though he hasn't got a friend
He's sure he'll be famous in the end

I'm such a vulnerable lad
with nothing to protect me
from your world so bright and full of laughter
I went home and sank my head into the pillow
I close my eyes and try to hear it again
to hear you laughing again
I cried in a dream
while staying at your place
I tried to talk about it over breakfast
but you made a joke out of it
and I never told you why, my my
why didn't it seem like you were only playing with me?
I wrote you a letter on the flight home wich evolved into a love poem
so of course I couldn't send it then
I cried in a dream
while staying at your place
I'm such a vulnerable lad
with nothing to protect me
Ffom your world so bright and full of laughter

On a charming and frozen magical island far out at sea. I will anke you there with me No more ridicule no more grief they can't reach as out at sea think how happy we will be. We loved their waxy faces but there wasn't any life below. There wasn't any life there wasn't any life there wasn't any life under their wax exteriors. Would you like another coconut I think there's one defrosting in our hut. Though the weathers quite inclement and when there's snow storms I can't see my shoes. I'm still glad I'm here with you. There's funny animals with beards and all of the fishes are see through The skunks have noses like cazoos. I like it here I like it here I like it here I like it here I like it here I like it here. I like it here I like it here I like it here I like it here I like it here I like it here. I like it here I like it here I like it here I like it here I like it. We climbed for hours and days and years and centuries the islands sole lonely mountain until we were high enough to see the otters wearing monogrammed feces by a large and noisy donkey mole regime

when I rode in a trolley across your face with a swedish man
I bet that wasn't in your plans for the day
my what a strange day for poor little nietzsche
why so forlorn?
you know we love you nietzsche
and all of your friends have come to see you nietzsche
so let us see you nietzsche
Everone's waiting nietzsche
don't be so sneaky
when he smeared a candy bar across your face with a gloveless hand
I thought you'd never stop lashing the swede
my what a strange day for poor little nietzsche
what more could be done on a day like today
then to lock up your heart and quickly swallow the key?
now I'm gonna tell you something we can do
if you cut off my head I'll cut yours off for you
I'll cut it off for you
poor little nietzsche
don't be so sneaky
what more could be done on a day like today
then to lock up your heart and quickly swallow the key
I like the image of us tossing our heads at a swedish man
I bet he'd never telephone us again
not even to say
my what a strange day for poor little nietzsche

Manuel's mouth filled with foam upon discovering the properties of Mimi Merlot. Just Imagine his chagrin when he found she'd drugged him, tied him up and locked him inside her wardrobe. On top of all of this the boas hung above him made him sneeze Hhhhhhaaaaaacccccchhhhhhhooooooo. It's snowing all around inside Mimi's wardrobe. oh no no. Now she's covering the wardrobe in aluminum foil oh no no then she sticks her little finger through the key hole and says 'suck on it and maybe I'll let you go' to which Manuel replies 'Oh you want me to suck...?like this...?' Mimi Merlot you're the most convincingly non-fictitious character that I know

will you kiss me again so i can pretend we're kissing for the first time?
because when we kissed for the first time i was distracted.
i couldn't believe it was true that i was truly really finally kissing you.
will you hug me again so i can pretend we're embracing for the first time?
cause when you held me for the first time i lost my senses.
i couldn't believe it was real.
inside i was laughing and dancing like peppermint eels.
you are a miracle like madeline meech consoling moaning stallions on the beach.
while they choke up foam for the tide hahahahaha hahahahaha.
may we dance again so i can pretend we're dancing for the first time?
because when we danced for the first time i was so nervous.
i could hardly stay on my feet.
my felicity must not have been very discreet.
will you give me your hand so i can pretend i'm holding it for the first time?
let's do everything for the first time forever.
and if forever you are my friend i'll never ever feel unhappy again.
you are a miracle like hanze cercheek transposing scores by satie on the beak of an inimical red breasted lark hahahahaha hahahahaha.
hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha.

Here I sit planted in the mud. A mushroom of melted molecules. Where language has been reduced we can only use abbreviations. skjlb hjkgdfn uji AhFGsd uWiaAn. Here comes the pony that one the Tony. There were flaws in the experiment I'll tell you bout it if you're interested to know It was creepy the way they hovered above end swooped down on the children. Their mouths agape exposing fangs of fire. run children run
The three legged hyena cicadas migrated to the small northern sea port village called Durschfuch. The horrible insects congregated above the Durschfuch elementary school and would spend an indecent amount of time circling the playground. The citizens of the village were very alarmed by these new visitors, but since they were a God fearing community and were not allowed to bring any harm to any of God's creations, they had to pretend to ignore the large grotesque arthropods and continue on with their lives as if there weren't any menacing predators swooping over their offspring. In time the hyena cicadas became hungry and this in when the real terror ensued. As I stated earlier, the adults of the village, thought the best course of action was to pretend the insects didn't exist and continued to send the children out to the playground for recess. Every day the same thing occurred; the children would stand apprehensively at the threshold of the front gate until the teachers ordered them outside to 'play', then the children would run terrified towards the shelter of the banyan trees that formed an oval around the perimeter of the school yard. There they would spend the duration of recess huddling together under the trees, shaking with fear. For the first few weeks the children managed each day to narrowly cheat death by hiding below the trees. Eventually the hyena cicadas became mad with hunger and resolved to become more aggressive in their attempt to eat the children. One of the more intelligent cicadas, who happened to be the most famished of all of them, had the idea that some of the flock should hide among the foliage of the banyan trees while the others swooped over the children as usual. Then when all of the children were in their normal positions under the trees, the hyena cicadas hiding in the branches would descend upon them and kill them. After that all of the flonk could gather under the trees for a delicious feast. His plan worked perfectly and the adults of the village watched helplessly as the hyena cicadas ravenously devoured their beloved young ones

i don't wonder why i love you i don't have to know.
it's just so.
i adore you from your head down to your baby toe.
it's just so.
sometimes i get scared and hesitate because it seems strange to be so intimate.
it makes me uncomfortable but i'll get used to it.
i don't want to hide it now i need to let it show.
it's just so.
when you hold me close i feel a warm and happy glow.
it's just so.
somtimes i'm unsure if you're the one or my best riend who i'm clinging to.
my feelings change so quickly so i'll trust you to lead me.

Good morning Mr. Edminton
Mr. Edminton how are you feeling today?
I trust that life is treating you
the way that you want it to
of course I'm joking with you.
Hello Mr. Lendingworth
Mr. Lendingworth hope you're feeling o.k.
I've brought some books and a finance magazine
because I feel bad for you.
I'll tell you another thing too.
Remember how they vowed to let that go
if your families paid the ransom
well I think you both should know
that that's not their intention
but I will help to set you free
if you'll do something for me.
I want an honest job in one of your factories.
Please Mr. Edminton Mr. Edminton tell me that you'll agree and I'll untie you from that chair presently and get you away from here. I'm judging by your tears that you Mr. Lendingworth dear Mr. Lendingworth desire a part in our scheme well sir I certainly would never even dream now of excluding you I'll tell you both what to do. Tip toe down the spiral stairs then just before the cellar door you'll see a painting of a juggler touch his nose and that will open up a secret corridor. Take the ladder at the end up to the street and run as fast as you can. Then in a week or two I'll start my job with you. You Mr. Edminton Mr. Lendingworth hurry before it's too late for us to escape

Don't swallow mine
It's all fine and dandy

To agree and understand
If you wanna be a good monster

Wading through a river of stars our lips touch like butterflies from a canon taking a bellybutton bath with mister neptune and my hippopotamus tennis shoes on Oh-eee-Oh.
Moon light bounces off the ocean and gets stuck in your hair Ooo-w-ooo
Does my voice not have wings? Yours are the only ears I wanna disco and I say 'you are who i'm breathing for'
Putting a raisin under your pillow and a couple in your heart to fall out when you laugh, like a volcano laughs at a chinese octopus you need a cat chasing angels out of a kitchen.
A blue crab apple spider makes a web out of bannana cream Ooo-o-ooo
Does my voice not have wings? Yours are the only ears I wanna disco and I say 'you are who i'm breathing for'

You're my muse you're my silly goose and every day is a dreamy day of daydreaming of you. You're my one you're my honey bun and every day is a dreamy day of daydreaming of you. I can dream of you without snoring and I'm lucky that that's true. Because everyone would know that I found them boring simply because they're not you. All I want to do is lay in the daisies and daydream of you know who I'm referring to...you. You're my love you're my star above And everyday is a dreamy day of daydreaming of you

i spent the winter on the verge of a total breakdown while living in norway
i felt the darkness of the black metal bands
but being such a faun of a man i didn't burn down any old churches
just slept way too much just slept
my mind rejects the frequency it's static craziness to me is it a solar fever?
the t.v. man is too loud our plane is sleeping on a cloud
you turn the dial i'll try and smile
we've eaten plastic weather this family sticks together
we will escape from the south to the west side
my mind rejects the frequency it's just verbosity to me
what did he say?
i spent the winter with my nose buried in a book
while trying to restructure my character
cause it had become vile to it's creator
and through many dreadful i nights i lay praying to a saint
that nobody has heard of
and waiting for some high times to come again
dirty old shadow stay away don't play your games with me
i am older now i see the way you operate
if you don't hurt me then you die

the past is a grotesque animal and in it's eyes you see
how completely wrong you can be
the sun is out it melts the snow that fell yesterday
makes you wonder why it bothered
i fell in love with the first cute girl that i met
who could appreciate george bataille
standing at swedish festival discussing the 'story of the eye'
it's so embarrassing to need someone like i do you
how can i explain i need you here and not here too
I'm flunking out i'm gone i'm just gone
but at least i author my own disaster
performance breakdown and i don't want to hear it
i'm just not available things could be different but they're not
the mousy girl screams violence violence
she gets hysterical cause they're both so mean and it's my favorite scene
but the cruelty's so predictable it makes you sad on the stage
though our love project has so much potential
but it's like we weren't made for this world
though i wouldn't really want to meet someone who was
do i have to scream in your face?
i've been dodging lamps and vegetables
throw it all in my face i don't care
let's just have some fun let's tear this shit apart
let's tear the fucking house apart
let's tear our fucking bodies apart but let's just have some fun
somehow you've red rovered the gestapo circling my heart
and nothing can defeat you no death no ugly world
you've lived so brightly you've altered everything
i find myself searching for old selves
while speeding forward through the plate glass of maturing cells
i've played the unraveler the parhelion
but even Apocalypse is fleeting there's no death no ugly world
sometimes i wonder if you're mythologizing me like i do you
we want our film to be beautiful not realistic
perceive me in the radiance of terror dreams
and you can betray me but teach me something wonderful
crown my head crowd my head with your lilting effects
project your fears on to me
i need to view them see there's nothing to them
i promise you there's nothing to them
i'm so touched by your goodness you make me feel so criminal
how do you keep it together? i'm all all unraveled
but you know no matter where we are
we're always touching by underground wires
i've explored you with the detachment of an analyst
but most nights we've raided the same kingdoms
and none of our secrets are physical now

She fell in love with a boy
Who spoke a second language
And who lived across the ocean
In the evil empire
He awoke her sleeping heart
And swept away the darkness
An acute fear of flying couldn't keep her away
She landed on her feet
And joined his fledgling rock group
As they toured the evil empire
Selling t-shirts at the shows
She taught him what was real
She taught him he was ok
That his thoughts were not just rubbish
That he had something good to give
Still his heart was so ambivilant
And homesick of her
He wasn't ever sure
But she gave in so sweetly
That the spirit said well you better go run to her
So when she split he hopped on a plane
With his parents and his brother
He told her that he loved her
They were married in the summer

The sacrifice must be for some long... deity...
Just can't get hard for reality, at least not mine
... is Ike (like?)
... bleeding...
Can't seem to motivate my heart to function
These ages of... burns our dream so... lessly
Can only turn them away
I wonder can we produce summer heat to keep our experiments around the house (?)
I told you that because I couldn't cope seeing the disappointment in your eyes
Oh Nina, how can I defend myself against this world that buries (?) me like a retarded cartoon
It's too sick for salvation but that word is just a joke
Oh Nina, my resistance (red system?) is chaos
I'm desperate for something but there's no human word for it
I should be happy but what I feel is corrupted, broken, inhibited and insane.
Oh Nina, I've become so hateful. How am I ever going to survive this winter?
I can think of nothing but getting my revenge, make those fuckers pay,
But it's not gonna happen
And it's eating a hole in me.
In our heart we can see his suffering, repeat our soulful session (soul concession?), too far to mention.
I've inherited some spiritual sanctions from some old ancestral crime
It was committed long ago but the punishment's absolved all down the family line
Everyone so unstable on my mother's side,
And emotionally bearing on my father's side

I'm a motherfucking headliner
Bitch, you don't even know it, process it
I'm a motherfucking headliner
Bitch, you don't even know it
Why is it white girls don't ever have any ideas?
And they don't even know what's on my channel
But that is true for almost everyone, everyone but you
My goat, my crab, my scorpion
You're my icons 'cause you're different, you're different
I love wicked wisdom
Half turn my at two wet come free
Don't send me no more evil visions
They just stab my heart
I'm just a black she-male
And I don't know what you people are all about
What you people are all about
I just know how to make it
Peanut butter, like this
Ooh, just a look at her is god
Can't you see it, baby?
Can't you see it, baby?
Shan't you see it, baby?
Ooh, just a look at her is god
Can't you see it, baby?
Can't you see it, baby?
Shan't you see it, baby?

All I care to hear
All them standing gray insects
Inside the house machines
Knowing what's coming next
Something temporary reference
For the other side
All I care to hear
Elitist's commentary
About some fated press limited edition
I hear the toy ball bouncing on
Jihad would do their elegant conceit
All I care to hear
You have such power to destroy
No time to process that now

She's saying we wear the party
All over our bodies and faces
What allows me to speak in wild abstractions
The senseless killings gifts God gives us
Have no one to love them
It's the kind of thought that kills
You twice on the way down
You might forget them but you're not nice
They don't forget about you
How they claw me in my false or foster reflection
Is that my reflection in the Damascus play?
How they claw me in my foster or false reflection
You should call me sometime
I won't answer but, at least I'll know you care
How will you know it was me?
You think I got caller ID?
Guess I should be happy for you
For your success and all that
But your fame ain't got nothing for us
I supported you, kid, back when no one else did
Oh yeah, oh yeah
You know I waved your flag
Back when no one else did
I just want things to be the way they used to be
When you only set a place for me
The great chorus of my skull
Is choking on their dulcer tones
Ten lashes on the ass of anyone who even tries
And heaven's patience glaring down at us
Filling your room with black butterflies
You don't have to try to steal
No, nothing from my heart
Because for you anything you want is always free, free, free
Send your freaky fantasies to my phone
Black Converse on and an ice cream cone
Now that I'm not a virgin to you
You'll never walk alone
Far beyond the several years of shame
I live to make you call my name
Call my name
Guess I should be happy for you
For your success and all that
But your fame ain't got nothing for us
I was your booster, babe
Back when no one else cared
Oh yeah, oh yeah
You know I celebrated you
(I'm hard for you, girl)
Back when no one else even thought to
I just want things to be the way they used to be
When you only saved a seat for me
Come back, come back
I feel so at peace
Why is the sky karma?

Why am I so damaged, girl?
Why am I such poison, girl?
I don't know how long I can hold on
If it's gonna be like this forever
Why am I so damaged?
Why am I so troubled, girl?
I don't know how long I can hold on

Can't survive another comedown day
When my spirit houses so much pain
So much bitterness, so much bitterness
I need to teach myself to feel again
Somehow I lost the thread of being human
Wrapped up in this bitterness, too much bitterness
I'm so confused, what is the function of this ego sickness?
Uselessly believe in myself hatred whisperings
I can't deal with mourning at the carcass/caucus of my failures any longer
Slipping on my own vomit
While tried to call you from a bathroom in Sao Paulo,
But I was too drunk to formulate any sort of earthy language, so much bitterness
Too much bitterness
Other people can say there is a true belief system
But all my life I've been betrayed by my mother's religion
So much bitterness, too much bitterness
I'm so destroyed what is the purpose of this ego sickness?
Uselessly deceived myself by virgin whisperings
And I can't deal with mourning at the carcass/caucus of my failures any longer
Any longer
Can't seem to get the saddle
On the spoils of this morbid fugue
My mantras of subhuman nature, just a veil for all elation
The ink's dripping all over me
The only regret I have is caring
Are we posing? Are we props
Riding the anger `till it stops?
Father, will we starve today? Father will we starve?
Father, will we starve today? Father will we starve?
No my child, there are wild women in here and a crafty fish am I
No my child, there are wild women in here and a fleshy catch am I
Will our quarters be the sunken earth deep beneath the meadow?
Will our quarters be the sunken earth deep beneath the ground?
No my child, you lay your head upon an ousted (?) felon
No my child, you rest your head upon a gross misdeed
Father, Will a ??? of curse enough to find me
Father, Will a ??? a fictim who abuse
No my child ??? distunction
??? is a symbol of delight
It's hard to sympathize with those that won't fight for themselves
I can't hold both our faces off the flames much longer
The child of our struggle is free
I've fallen out of love with the prisoner

So now she's turning a corner, wants to leave me again
Though it's sad I really should warn her, you can only break up so many times
But losing us took sanity, without becoming forced to call she said:
How can we continue? If you're telling her the truth, they sill don't believe you
So now she's getting tired, wondering if it's a peak or precedes
And just how to labor forward, when her man is a mess, and never there
Going sadly in the park, but it's much worse together in silence,
Because all that, just a villainy,
We need laughter, happiness, madness, anything
Our love is senile, unlike a blind child bumping into walls
Say it's not guilt keeping us together, how can we suWport each other's wills
Our love is senile, like we don't recognize each other
Somehow we relax to being strangers
The scuttling of tiles in our sacred realm
Now it's time to pay the socialists, and pretend out little chick from afar

You clean the bathroom and I do the dishes
I water the lawn and you feed the fishes
What a neat little domestic life that we live
You change the light bulb and I hold the ladder
I get the frying pan and you mix the batter
What a neat little domestic life that we live
All the lonely days are gone
Those long lonely days when I was alone
And I felt this world was not the place I belonged
But then I met you and now I belong
You rake the leaves and I start a fire
I clean out the shed and you turn on the dryer
What a neat little domestic life that we live
I brush the dog and you knit a sweater
You vacuum the rug and I write a letter
What a neat little domestic life that we live
I clear the table and you draw the curtain
You ask if I'm happy and I tell you I'm certain

Lover face, I'll view you as the revolver
Introduced in my play, act one
Lover face, wanna make you ejaculate
Until it's no longer fun
I confess to really being quite charmed
By your feminine effects
You're the only one with whom
I would role play Oedipus Rex
I want you to be my pleasure puss
I wanna know what it's like to be inside you
I want you to be my pleasure puss
I wanna know how it feels
I want you to be my pleasure puss
I wanna know what it's like to be inside you
I want you to be my pleasure puss
I wanna know how it feels
Wanna give you that ooh la, ooh la la
Wanna give you that ooh la, ooh la la
Lover face, how your ass is pumping
Sweet licentious song
Lover face, you're a scandal
Your body is so wrong, wrong
Bless my lips with your Sunlandic kisses
Kiss me, kiss me, kiss me
While our hands explore each other's human vessels
Oh you know, like four excited spiders
I want you to be my pleasure puss
I wanna know what it's like to be inside you
I want you to be my pleasure puss
I wanna know how it feels
I want you to be my pleasure puss
I wanna know what it's like to be inside you
I want you to be my pleasure puss
I wanna know how it feels
Wanna give you that ooh la, ooh la la
Wanna give you that ooh la, ooh la la
You gave me such a rush
Make my whole body blush
I don't care if they say you're just my crutch
I know you're not, you're the only good thing I've got
Everything's so much more complicated over the phone
You are such a star, oh, you know you are
I just once looked through today
Had the mind to call your name, internally
Through my seventh sense that's hallucinating
Anyway we're artifacts of demigodly zero logic denizens
I just came in your arms tonight
You and I are friends, not some polemic
To be puzzled over, listened
They set my wings so randomly
When you're dead, I'll search for you like Orpheus
I'll find you some way
You are such a star, oh, you know you are
I'll tell you one thing I know
You want my kisses in your narcissistic collapse
'Cause it's so painful when they amputate the taygog
See all the prison corpses lined up along beach
They're ringing the bells of the church
To drive everybody insane
As the patina lives the tawdy mountain
Stallion on its water on the shore
I can't get off of these moving lights off the face
No, I can't get all those little moving lights off the face
So I went out to the country, sat down on some straw
But I'm not putting out for God tonight
I'm not putting out, for God would kill my legs shut
It's a mistake lighting little white candles
To make Him love you
Oh, He's cold by any city's standards
They want to turn you down, dismissed
How 'bout if all you children and Tayshuns
No, ha, stop
You know the nightmares
They don't forget about you, they don't
Goddamn, the concierge general reincarnation
I think I can do it by myself

I wanna be your love
I wanna make you cry
And sweep you off your feet
I wanna hurt your pride
I wanna slap your face
I wanna paint your nails
I wanna make you scream
I wanna braid your hair
I wanna kiss your friends
I wanna make you laugh
I wanna dress the same
I wanna defend you
I wanna squeeze your thighs
I wanna kiss your eyelids
And corrupt your dreams
I wanna crash your car
I wanna scratch your cheeks
I wanna make you sick
I wanna sell you out
Want to expose your flaws
I wanna steal your things
I wanna show you off
I wanna tell you lies
I wanna write you books
I wanna turn you on
I wanna make you come
Two hundred times a day
I wanna dry your tears
Every time you're sad
I wanna be your what's happening
I wanna be your only friend
I only go all the way
This time I'm not pretending
I can't take the trash
Your trashy friends are spreading about us
They got like fifty personalities
Oh girl, that's so messed up
You see that sculpture on the hill
That's where she cleared me out forever
They're monitoring my self conscious massacres
I know, bringing it closer to the surface
So it's easily pervertable
I wanna be a beast
I wanna make you proud
And play with your head
I wanna take you out
Make you feel adored
And buy you everything
I wanna hurt you bad
Make you paranoid
And say the sweetest things
I wanna help you grow
And for eternity
I wanna be your what's happening
What's happening
[Incomprehensible]
Can you clap your hands? Clap clap
Can you clap your hands? Clap clap
Can you sing it?

I wanna be your love

I wanna show you off
I wanna tell you lies
I wanna write you books
I wanna turn you on
I wanna make you come
Two hundred times a day
I wanna dry your tears
Every time you're sad
I wanna be your what's happening
I wanna be your only friend
I only go all the way
This time I'm not pretending
I can't take the trash
Your trashy friends are spreading about us
They got like fifty personalities
Oh girl, that's so messed up
You see that sculpture on the hill
That's where she cleared me out forever
They're monitoring my self conscious massacres
I know, bringing it closer to the surface
So it's easily pervertable
I wanna be a beast
I wanna make you proud
And play with your head
I wanna take you out
Make you feel adored
And buy you everything
I wanna hurt you bad
Make you paranoid
And say the sweetest things
I wanna help you grow
And for eternity
I wanna be your what's happening
What's happening
[Incomprehensible]
Can you clap your hands? Clap clap
Can you clap your hands? Clap clap
Can you sing it?

When we left alone, no song to sing us off the edge
The speakers are blown, this planet is an orphanage.
Deep abandonment issues at our core
But if not each other lets f... k
Our tool to really keep us lethal,
Aint got no ride
Least not one that rarely turns our message
Our parents aside this planet is an orphanage.
And it cheapens us the way you and I
Torment each other
It's just the way we combine ohh ohh oh no
Time for you to decide get on the concrete
You with the soldier are you just playing yourself and me too?
Ahhi got your letter and it hurt me so many ways
Had no breath to anekatips respond
Boy you let your brothers down.
And you would have it your own personal ghetto
But no ones forcing you to stay there
Our circles not so cannibalistic baby
When we left alone, no song to sing us off the edge
The speakers are blown, this planet is an orphanage.
Deep abandonment issues at our core
But if not each other lets f... k
Our tool to really keep us lethal.
Aint got no ride, least not one that rarely turns our message
Our parents aside, this planet is an orphanage.
And it cheapens us the way you and I
Torture each other
It's just the way we collide ohh ohh ohh no
It's time too make up your mind get in the cellar
Are you gonna betray yourself
Or come join our self on the days?
The conspiracy that's forever un-forming in your head
It's jut not real
Boy you let your people down.
I put so much of my self here
Just to try and accommodate you
You know I saved your life
A little too hey brother
I don't resent you but I can't settle the debt of our
Surreal history and those I haven't got over yet,
And it cheapens us the way you and I

Saw her at Go kissing girls, what a shock
I said you must be an artist
She muttered her reply, I was judging her friend
As the DJ played a dead jam
No one wants to dance
They're outside smoking cigarettes
Matthew was there, yes, he gave me the eye
Saying, "It doesn't kill to try" then blue lights all around
Eva, I'm sorry, but you will never have me
To me you're just some faggy girl
And I need a lover with soul power
And you ain't got no soul power
Eva, I'm sorry, but you will never have me
To me you're just some faggy girl
And I need a lover with soul power
No, you ain't got no soul
She lead me outside to the church with the swing
There I was her confessor
Her come on made me blush, was her crush for the night?
Until I screamed, 'Stop'
?Hey, you must be aware I'm not alone
I've got a tigress back at home and besides
You wouldn't know what to do with me"
And under the blue lights you see them gossiping
Gossiping, gossiping, gossiping, gossiping
Gossiping, gossiping
Eva, I'm sorry, but you will never have me
To me you're just some faggy girl
And I need a lover with soul power
And you ain't got no soul power
Eva, I'm sorry, but you will never have me
To me you're just some faggy girl
And I need a lover with soul power
And you ain't got no soul power
No, you ain't got no soul power
No, you ain't got no soul power
No, you ain't got no soul power
Say you ain't got no soul power

There's a flash of dead-eyed hatred in these horse-faced hours and hours
Don't let this be how I am remembered
... dialogue
Don't... shredded cowboy menace
True love...
... each other, it'd be good for our healing
The joy of... tribes
It can... mystic bullshit or boredom
We are so dead to each other... something fair and repulsive, preserve
Psychosis
There's no economy of despair
How can you perform?
How can you operate?
I'm a desillusion, man
Why is this not happening?
I try...
How can you operate?

When you come around
Everything else disappears
My ears disappear
When you come around
Everything else vanishes
Crowds slowly fade
When you come around
Everything evaporates
When you come around, around, around
On the news at night
They talk about the disappearances
They interview the people
Who were witnesses
Most are shocked, some don't care
When you come around
Everything else disappears
My mouth disappears
When you come around
Everything else vanishes
Birds have no heads
When you come around
Everything loses its legs
When you come around, around, around
On the news at night
They talk about the abnormalities
They interview the people
Who are authorities
Most are intrigued, some don't care
When you come around
When you are near
I feel so far away
From the person, I am alone
I feel like I'm jumping
On a trampoline, trampoline
When you come around
Everything else disappears
My eyes disappear
When you come around
Everything else vanishes
Sunlight swims away
When you come around
And even darkness won't stay
When you come around, around, around

They had painted her face like a man's mistake
Like a mental state, gang-banging
A sad return to the eagle-shaped mirror
I'm the kind of mannequin that cheats and
Opens its eyes to the ladies of the spread
She took me home and spit in my drink
She spoke of Germaine Greer and Friedan
I didn't know what to think
I took her standing in the kitchen, ass against the sink
She draped me in a stoll, what kind?
I think Malaysian mink
Than threw me out into the snow, I waited for the bus
Up come some values voters screaming, are you one of us?
I said of course man, can't you see
I've got some text reconstruction? What does that mean?
No clue, it must be an illicit pentagram
What are you talking about? No clue
I check my shutter speed, my aperture, my domino
Can't focus, can't stop staring at the face I used to know
This life is not a prison, we are always free to go anytime
Chinese stars, Chinese stars, Chinese stars
My 'cuz had the rawest Chinese stars
I'm trying to interface
You met me at such a dismal point on the arc
I think I understand what you were saying
About the smiles of the skulls
The spastic face was the last one, our luck was white
I read it with my head open, only slightly cracked
Somebody will have to close it when I'm done
Make the most out of the visuals
While walking through the woods
I noticed someone had built a house
For nobody in particular
They want to destroy us, I know

We just want to emote 'til we're dead
I know we suffer for fashion or whatever
We don't want these days to ever end
We just want to emasculate them forever
Forever, forever
Oh pretty sirens don't go flat
It's not supposed to happen like that
Not like that, not like that
We've got to keep it physical
When our tele's are 6 hours away
Please call to say that you miss me, feel me or whatever
Vicissitudes are boxing our heads
Do they just want to emaciate them forever?
Forever, forever
Now pretty sirens don't go flat
It's not supposed to happen like that
Not like that, not like that
We've got to keep our little click clicking at
130 B.P.M., it's not too slow
If we got to burn out, let's do it together
Let's all melt down together
Together, let's go together
Let's do it together, let's go together
Forever, forever
Now pretty sirens don't go flat
It's not supposed to happen like that
Not like that, not like that
We've got to keep our little click clicking at
130 B.P.M., it's not too slow
If we got to burn out, let's do it together
Let's all melt down together
Together, let's go together

I believe we're moving on a
your sex karma must be good cus im funny for

i know you are a little freak

i was afraid to call you up
cus you were really hard to fly on the first try
try x8
you took me centuries to master
in the next life i will have to learn you faster
i'm not a diamond so you'll flatter
cus i'm not a slave to a physical matter
chorus
you look like a playground to me x8

I spent the winter on the verge
Of a total breakdown while living in Norway
I felt the darkness of the black metal bands
But being such a fawn of a man
I didn't burn down any old churches
Just slept way too much, just slept
My mind rejects the frequency, it's static craziness to me
Is it a solar fever?
The TV man is too loud, our plane is sleeping on a cloud
You turn the dial, I'll try and smile
We've eaten plastic weather, this family sticks together
We will escape from the south to the west side
My mind rejects the frequency, it's just verbosity to me
[Incomprehensible]
I spent the winter with my nose buried in a book
While trying to restructure my character
'Cause it had become vile to its creator
And through many dreadful nights
I lay praying to a saint that nobody has heard of
And waiting for some high times to come again
My mind rejects the frequency, it's static craziness to me
Is it a solar fever?
The TV man is too loud, our plane is sleeping on a cloud
You turn the dial, I'll try and smile
We've eaten plastic weather, this family sticks together
We will escape from the south to the west side
My mind rejects the frequency, it's just verbosity to me
[Incomprehensible]
Dirty old shadow, stay away
Don't play your games with me
I am older now, I see the way you operate
If you don't hurt me then you die
My mind rejects the frequency, it's static craziness to me
Is it a solar fever?
The TV man is too loud, our plane is sleeping on a cloud
You turn the dial, I'll try and smile
We've eaten plastic weather, this family sticks together
We will escape from the south to the west side
My mind rejects the frequency, it's just verbosity to me

My lover, I've been donating
Time to review
All the misinterpretations
That define me and you
I'm thinking about you
In my secret language
Because I know you're the only one
Who can help me take it easy
Now I'm happy in the head
Knowing there ain't no sucker in the world
That's a threat to us
But we've become material
It's like, hey, you were always there
Just on the tip of my tongue
And I needed you to happen, yeah
And now that you've happened
And it really, really, really came true
I feel like I ought to thank somebody
So I'm gonna thank you, thank you
Thank you, thank you
Thank you, thank you
So I'm calling your ass up
At like three in the morning
Saying, wake up, young dragon
Let's go get compromised, you'll be my little ally
And you can huddle which way you choose
Now I'm so bugged out by your paradigm kisses
How I've acted out southern hemispherical
And the gods know, cracking my sweet love
I'm cracking my sweet love
I'm cracking my sweet love

Boy, I wish you weren't such a paranoid actress
And I, the assassinated Kennedy
I feel like an accidental species
Some mutant love child, never meant to be
No motion dancing, feel like we're an impossibility
Tried to keep the heart in the head
But I was so down on the closing night
Couldn't even fake a smile
Wanted to fire all my friends and just start over again
And sisters, don't you know our shit is only gonna get better?
Don't you know, don't you know, don't you know?
I feel like the last time is gonna be my final collapse
And sisters, don't you know our shit is only gonna get better?
I feel like the last time is gonna be my final collapse
I know from past experience
He never takes it easy on his readers
And you become a foreign substance
Lying in your familial bed
Technology makes such an ugly mother
But no lessons does it offer, only chaos scenarios
And the dream that we've inherited
Look, it's just random numbers
Still they love you at the office 'cause you've been

All day long, I felt like smashing my face
Through a clear glass window
But instead, I went out
And smashed up a phone booth around the corner
I never had a chance to choose my own parents
I never know why she was suffering mine
Mommy's always trying not to eat
And daddy's always spending like he's pick a little booze
I never had a chance to choose my own name
I never know why she was suffering mine
Mommy's always talking 'bout the family pie
And daddy's always hiding on the weekend, right
All day long, I felt like smashing my neck
Through a clear glass window
But instead, I went out
And smashed up a station wagon around the corner
I looked in the mirror and told myself
I'm glad I still don't look like them at least
Mommy's like a film star in a distorted mirror
And daddy's like a guy who lost his stomach in the war
I went to shake hands with the President in Miami
I went to a rock show to see Mick Jagger
You never believed in the surprise of my life
They have been on the faces, just like my mommy
Am I going crazy or is it just you, daddy?
Am I going nuts or is it just you, mommy?
Am I playing gone or is it just the world?
Daddy, I'd rather have you dead than crazy
Trying to talk to them is like eating TV dinner when you're angry
Trying to get their love is like watching as you cannot when you're hungry
They gave me a watch that's guaranteed not to break
But my mommy and daddy broke up last fall
Am I going crazy or is it just you, daddy?
Am I going nuts or is it just you, mommy?
Am I playing gone or is it just the world?
Mommy, I'd rather have you dead than crazy
All day long, I felt like smashing my head
In a clear glass window
But instead, I went out

I'm in a crisis, I need help
Come on mood shift, shift back to good again
Come on mood shift, shift back to good again
Come on be a friend
Nina Twin is trying to help, and I
Really hope that she succeeds
Though I picked the thorny path myself
I'm afraid, afraid of where it leads
Chemicals, don't strangle my pen
Chemicals don't make me sick again
I'm always so dubious of your intent
Like I can't afford to replace what you've spent
Come on chemicals
Come on chemicals
Come on chemicals
Nina Twin is trying to help, and I
Really hope she gets me straight
'Cause my own inner cosmology
Has become too dense to navigate
I'm in a crisis, I need help
Come on mood shift, shift back to good again
Come on mood shift, shift back to good again
Come on be a friend
Come on be a friend
Two, three, four
Chemicals, don't flatten my mind
Chemicals, don't mess me up this time
Know you bait me way more than you should
And it's just like you to hurt me when I'm feeling good
Come on chemicals
Come on chemicals
Come on chemicals
Come on chemicals
Come on chemicals
Come on chemicals
Come on chemicals
Come on chemicals
Come on chemicals
Come on chemicals

I am a happy yellow bumblebee
Flying around the flowers and trees
And all morning long, I flutter about in the swirling breeze
And the sun is yellow like me
I am a happy yellow bumblebee
Everything's so much bigger than me
But I'm not afraid for if something gets too close
I give them a sting that makes them howl and scamper away
No, I'm not afraid
Though sometimes I get lonely
'Cause my parents are dead
And I can't find my brothers or sisters
At night the sky looks so black
And I can't find the sun
It doesn't matter how hard I try
But when I feel like I'm covered in darkness
And that light won't touch me anymore, I hear the cardinals singing
And I know who they're singing for when I see the sun
Sun, sun, sun, sun
Makes me a happy yellow bumblebee
All my friends are beetles and centipedes
And all summer long, we laugh and we play
But we don't talk to spiders
'Cause they're mean
And they try to trick us
'Cause they want to eat us

You are what parasites evolved from
Still an unanswered question
You are the refused energy from a superior form
Nothing that occurs to you is intended for your involvement
You're an irrelevant effect
Unavoidable, but of low influence
One last thing that you must understand
(To be dead is to be confused, to be mistaken)
You speak to me
Like the anguish of a child doused in flames
Oh, you speak to me
Like the stones that're bashing your skull and brain exposes
Oh it's always been the same
200, 000 years of viciousness
The violent art dissolves
A lost, suffering, weak, cracked out species
Oh you speak to me
Like your life was annihilated in space
Oh you speak to me
In a voice that's trite, calm, and impassionate
And yeah, what do you know?
You know nothing of the abuses of everything
The regretedness of abandonment
The dehumanized regress of love

I wanna be your love
I wanna make you cry
And sweep you off your feet
I wanna hurt your pride
I wanna slap your face
I wanna paint your nails
I wanna make you scream
I wanna braid your hair
I wanna kiss your friends
I wanna make you laugh
I wanna dress the same
I wanna defend you
I wanna squeeze your thighs
I wanna kiss your eyelids
And corrupt your dreams
I wanna crash your car
I wanna scratch your cheeks
I wanna make you sick
I wanna sell you out
Want to expose your flaws
I wanna steal your things
I wanna show you off
I wanna tell you lies
I wanna write you books
I wanna turn you on
I wanna make you come
Two hundred times a day
I wanna dry your tears
Every time you're sad
I wanna be your what's happening
I wanna be your only friend
I only go all the way
This time I'm not pretending
I can't take the trash
Your trashy friends are spreading about us
They got like fifty personalities
Oh girl, that's so messed up
You see that sculpture on the hill
That's where she cleared me out forever
They're monitoring my self conscious massacres
I know, bringing it closer to the surface
So it's easily pervertable
I wanna be a beast
I wanna make you proud
And play with your head
I wanna take you out
Make you feel adored
And buy you everything
I wanna hurt you bad
Make you paranoid
And say the sweetest things
I wanna help you grow
And for eternity
I wanna be your what's happening
What's happening
[Incomprehensible]
Can you clap your hands? Clap clap
Can you clap your hands? Clap clap
Can you sing it?

Those with the golden axe have tried to tell me
What they say
That the bird in my chest was dead
But that's never, never, never
She ain't my thug no more, ain't no kind of killer
And she can break 'em off if she damn well please
Just as long as she brings it home to me
And it's still hot
Can you touch what I'm saying?
It's like, did Shuggie do it yet?
No, not yet, wait
Those with the golden axe have tried to tell me
Tell you what
That the sex in my walk was cotton soft
But that's never, never, never
With question marks in my eyes
And your strange name pressed to our lips
We arrived at number eleven
So charged and ready for slaveries
I won't take the stage straight, understand
Under capes with druggy cock dragons
I wanna put out so bad
But something bad says the kid's probably right
Are you deflating at the question?
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, okay
Now that the parachute has opened, well
Don't it make you feel good?
Now that the parachute has opened, well
Don't it make you feel good?
Be careful how you touch me
My body is an earthquake
Ready to receive you
My mind's making glaciers
Metals for my soldiers
Let's be like strangers
Touching for the first time
Skeletal lamping
The controller sphere
False priest
Skeletal lamping
The controller sphere

So much violence in my head
How are we still alive?
Intermission is under control
(No it's not, don't you ever stop lying, damn)
I love how we're learning from each other
You are such a positive
You're so empowering
In your hands I'm quite simply
A different instrument
And you're the only one who ever put money on me
You think that I forget so easily
You emit a charge
I know we're of the same tribe
The fall's our most productive season
Still a crippling fear of __
Caesar and we're slightly
Actually I want to help you invoke
The architect

Turning tricks on the hood of Jasmine's car
That whole summer was really just too peculiar
You know I would have given it up to almost anybody
Who had a little bit of money and was sweet to me
Yeah, I was down to give it up to almost anyone
Who was sweet to me
It was rough, we had to crawl down to the basement
For to hide from this digital wolf
He had no eyes but he could see using electric rays
Biting the prick that feeds me in my sister's bathroom
How can I function, man, in the face of all this butchery?
My mind is exploding with sloppy murders
They really poison my sexuality
How can I function?
There's no more Apollonian beauty to behold
Lille venn, my heart is not dead
It's just bad weather in my temporary head
In my temporary head
Momma, my heart's not dead

The falling free on, it's turning me on
It drips on the street, the sun cries from the heat
I love feeling beat, I'll kiss the lipstick on your teeth
Friends getting old, we all dig for gold
The crumbs and pieces, the dead mess in the sink
Turning me on, Turning me on
The night's so happy, the base drum heavy
The photo glossy, the people pretty
Turning me on... [4x]
