all the things that they make you say
and all of the love that you hide away
I'll pick you up and it will be all right
I'll pick you up and it will be tonight
she rode a horse into my head
she won't discipline the children
and now they're running wild on the beach
and I don't care
oh, I don't care
no I don't care hey, hey, hey
it's the middle of the night and you're here
playing dominoes and drinking beer
I tried to think of something deep to say
but my well is dripping dry today, hey
They got him drunk as hell
They caught him way off balance
He could not walk or stand
So they thought they could take him
They had a plan to trip him
As he stumbled by and kick him
Their tiny brains were bubbling
His filthy mouth was mumbling
Get off my horse
He's in the trunk and still now
Unconscious and he's bleeding
They cut him wide open
Several times they stabbed him
He had burned his brothers
As if they were not of his family
Dug deep enough for covering
The hole where they'd be lowering
Get off my horse
After they sunk his body
And covered up their tracks
They thought of ways or means
To lie about what they had done
They told their pa
The he had gone off into the woods
By himself
The got old ma to worrying
But not about some burying
They got him drunk as hell
They caught him way off balance
He could not walk or stand
So they thought they could take him
They had a plan to trip him
As he stumbled by and kick him
Their tiny brains were bubbling
His filthy mouth was mumbling
Get
Get
Get off my horse
He's in the trunk and still now
Unconscious and he's bleeding
They cut him wide open
Several times they stabbed him
He had burned his brothers
As if they were not of his family
Dug deep enough for covering
The hole where they'd be lowering

Get off my horse

They told their pa
The he had gone off into the woods
By himself
The got old ma to worrying
But not about some burying
Get
Get
Get off my horse

Lights under the sky
Reminding me how
We'll meet again tomorrow.
Imagining years from now
With the backdrop ever changing,
We'd remain the only constant.
I was fine trusting you.
You were clever and inspired,
Building all the bombs that I threw.
The years from now we spoke of then have come and gone.
What I've done out of fear of being alone.
But I won't leave, I won't leave the one I love.
The sky stretches out
Like a tablecloth above us
Laid out with a priceless silver.
Now I look to St. Jude.
You said we're in this together,
You know me better that I do,
How my heart feels,
What my head knows to be true,
We submit and we surrender
to what we guard against,
Without even knowing that we do.
Dictate the speed of the beat of my heart
Dictate the speed of the beat of my heart
Dictate the speed of the beat of my heart
Dictate the speed of the beat of my heart
Dictate the speed of the beat of my heart
Is this the way to hurt me hurt me,
Is this the way to your revenge
Is this the way to hurt me hurt me
Is this the way to your revenge
You know me better that I do,
How my heart beats,
Love like lightning going through,
Innocently playing in your glorious design,
Without even knowing that I do.
Dictate the speed of the beat of my heart
Dictate the speed of the beat of my heart
Dictate the speed of the beat of my heart
Dictate the speed of the beat of my heart
Dictate the speed of the beat of my heart
Is this the way to hurt me hurt me,
Is this the way to your revenge
Is this the way to hurt me hurt me
When I'm asleep I'm dreaming of you
When I'm awake I'm dreaming of you
Nights flicker with the stars that come down,,,
Over you
Can our hearts synchronise, my baby ?
Miles of distance come between us like years,
Covered by the same sky but so
Separately.
And I'd like to believe I'm in everything you need...
Oh oh oh...
Now that you've gone-sweet sweet thing
If I could help myself-sweet sweet thing
If I could tell myself love's sweet still...
Am I dreaming?
Even if it is a world troubled
We can fall asleep
Side by side, in the night.
Please don't let me down again,
Come on if you're waiting to be wanted,
Time takes its time in passing you slow
If at all...
And if everything you need
Is everything you share
Then I'd like to believe
I'm the one that you need.
Oh oh oh...(come back to me baby)
Oh oh oh...(come back to me baby)
Now that you've gone-sweet sweet thing
If I could help myself-sweet sweet thing
If I could tell myself love's sweet still...
And if everything you need
Is everything you share
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Now that you've gone-sweet sweet thing
If I could help myself-sweet sweet thing
If I could tell myself love's sweet still...
Living a little while-sweet sweet thing
With you a little while-sweet sweet thing
More than a little while-wanting you
Now that you've gone-sweet sweet thing
If I could help myself-sweet sweet thing
Hand on the rails and
Hand in the fire
The damage thats done by
Love and desire
Summon the courage
Find the strength
Whatever it takes to any length
Ill go and come back once again
Its a matter of life and
A matter of death too
A feeling that I just cant
Put words to
Summon the courage
Find the strength
Whatever it takes to any length
Ill go and come back once again
Stay in my heart
Stay with me here
Stay with me now and dont let go
Some things look better
when youre further away
Sometimes its better to be further away
Stay in my heart
Stay with me here
Stay with me now and dont let go
Wanting you more
Staying with you less
When Im with you
Im only feeling my best
Some things look better
when youre further away
(McAlinden / McDonald)
Picture a prison in a darkened cell.
Battlements and moat,
A palace serves as well.
Charmed and blessed,
Your easy life.
Daylight's gone,
If sleep won't come
You scare yourself.
Sorry, my dear,
You're not alone, you're not alone.
In all that you fear,
You're not alone, you're not alone.
You don't need a jailer,
You've got the job well done.
Plough a lonely furrow,
Need nothing from no one.
Charmed and blessed, your sweet sweet life.
Daylight's gone,
If sleep won't come
You scare yourself.
Sorry, my dear,
You're not alone, you're not alone.
In all that you fear,
You're not alone, you're not alone.
Sorry, my dear,
You're not alone, you're not alone.
(Hutchison)
I've lost the inspiration
I went out west to find.
Believed this pain and sorrow
Was out of sight and out of mind.
No more love and understanding.
One million hearts are set alight.
When this life gets too demanding,
I need help to live the lie.
Faith won't shake this mountain.
One sign is not enough
To lead us to the Promised Land.
I'm not so glad I found you --
Too many hopes get cast aside.
Though we deny each other,
I brought myself to your attention,
for someone in my situation
the biggest crime against love is having none
Not a million miles from here,
not over there
there's someone here,
an obvious and eager volunteer
I'm never not going to do this
I'm never not going to feel this way
I'm never not going to do this
I'm never not going to again
Who could help but be...
Won over,
Who could help but be
Won over,
Who could help but be
Won over,
Simple things forgotten..
I celebrate with a goodwill
that could raise your shoulder high
Tine detail stowed away
with things you've said
I keep them all like nuggets
in my heart to marvel at
I'm never not going to do this
I'm never not going to feel this way
I'm never not going to do this
I'm never not going to again
Who could help but be...
Won over,
Who could help but be
Won over,
Who could help but be
Won over,
Won over,
You can't help but be
Won over,
You can't help but be
(McAlinden)
Under the mantle of the stars,
By the slow waves of the sea,
On a bank of sand we fell
Like fruit from a laden tree.
And in the morning, with the clean slate of day,
You're the warm thought I have.
I found my freedom
Loving an angel in Eden.
I found out for myself
Love is the natural law.
We walk through fields frown high,
Sleep together in the sun,
We speal everything unsaid
In the only language we have left.
With your body and your lips on mine,
We take our time.
I found my freedom
Loving an angel in Eden.
I found out for myself
Love is the natural law.
Remember the night when I was so bold?
I had no plan.
(McDonald / McAlinden)
Your letter got here this morning
With a bill and a bailiff's warning.
Your postcard's pinned in my kitchen.
My letter's ready for sending.
Sensations and views, a parcel of news,
And I feel that I'm there.
Weary and blue, my missive to you --
I could be there.
Chance and adventure love you...
Chance and adventure.
Dear Anne-Marie,
I should have come
Along with you
When you asked me to.
I'm still content,
Dear Anne-Marie,
To stay at home and pay the rent.
Wake up, alarm clock, run to the bus stop.
Nine to five work block, queue in another shop.
Your camel's wairing at the oasis,
Crieff to Cairo, kick over the traces.
You're missing the cold and you're missing the rain,
King's Cafe and me.
Staying at home and watching TV...
Christ, Anne-Marie!
Chance and adventure love you...
Chance and adventure.
Dear Anne-Marie,
I should have come
Along with you
When you asked me to.
I'm still content,
Dear Anne-Marie,
To stay at home and pay the rent.
Dear Anne-Marie,
(Hutchison / McAlinden)
You could say that the end was beginning
From the first day when I was still falling
In love with a mystery lover,
But the book didn't live up to the cover.
Does it matter what the world thinks?
Does it matter?
We were laughing so hard,
The tears rolled down my face.
Another innocent in your trail of destruction
Left behind like a tree hit by lightning.
All my senses you worked so hard at persuading.
They don't know what's real and a great imitation.
I was so sadly mistaken.
And you know what?
I'm amazed that I fell for
The spell of a lowdown hit and run driver.
You only wanted to make your mark,
To write your name into the history of my heart.
But I get more wise to myself
And I fall less for the dazzling jewel,
More the jewel in plain wrapping.
Another innocent in your trail of destruction
Left behind like a tree hit by lightning.
All my senses you worked so hard at persuading.
They don't know what's real and a great imitation.
I was so sadly mistaken.
And if your star falls, it won't stop 'til the gutter
In a better place than where you came from.
And if all you hoped for was my destruction,
You've got a nerve and another think coming.
I was laughing so hard, the tears rolled down.
You could imitate love but you hit and run.
Working so bad to persuade me.
(McDonald)
And in these days within you,
And in these nights without you,
Can you feel a little of my despair?
To say it's hard is easy.
I say it's simple, really.
Let us be. I know that we're meant to be.
Hold me now, turn around,
Don't you know we're halfway there?
I'm coming home now I've found
Without you I am going nowhere.
Hold me now, you're a guiding light.
Show me how it'll be alright.
Hold me now, show me how.
You're in my prayers. You haunt me.
The more you say, the more I care for you.
I'm living from day to day.
And when you sigh,
Oh, when you sigh these walls come tumbling down
A little bit, can't you see?
Hold me now, turn around,
Don't you know we're halfway there?
I'm coming home now I've found
Without you I am going nowhere.
Hold me now, you're a guiding light.
Show me how it'll be alright.
Hold me now, show me how.
Hold me now, you're a guiding light.
Show me how it'll be alright.
Hold me now through the darkest night.
Be near me now, it'll be alright.
You're in my prayers,
You're in my prayers,
You haunt me.
(McDonald / McAlinden)
There's something I'd like to see
From God's home movie --
The story of the universe
And my baby.
I'd see you as a child
Playing by the sea
Just like the stories you've told
From memory.
I watch the course of your life
Like watching the beads fall
From broken thread.
I know you now that you've grown,
Going your own sweet way,
A way I love.
I'm only looking
Looking for you.
This is the story
Story of you.
I have a love I'll keep forever.
This is the story
Story of you.
This is the story.
There's something I'd like to see
From God's home movie --
The story of the universe
And my baby.
I'd see discoveries made --
Fire and flat earth.
Columbus sailing the sea
or how Noah survived
Or when God was a girl.
Rewind and freezing the frame
On heroes and martyrs
And empires' rise and fall.
There's still the future to see.
(McDonald / McAlinden)
In an ordinary town, a chariot is pulling round.
The local stud and beauty queen --
A small pond Venus and kingpin
Charging down the quiet Sunday streets.
Shaved-head gangs are standing neon-lit.
Nothing could be finer than the summer
It was simply you and me.
No ambition to be something new to possibility.
Scanning all the heads, searching all the hearts,
Looking out for something that set one apart.
Didn't know what I hoped for,
Wordless questions answered tenderly.
Success is an elusive goal --
Climbing a grease-covered pole.
Mills and foundries derelict,
Skills and trades now obsolete.
Headlines carry fears for rising crime
With results of an away match last weekend.
Nothing could be finer,
Like new tubers blossoming in the sultry haze.
New together, spark to tinder,
Lightning up a hungry blaze.
Looking to defy, living to avenge,
A tired empty life to kick against.
Through the working week to deserved weekend,
Driven to a life money can't defend.
I know what I hoped for when I found you,
You were my beautiful escape.
Nothing could be finer than the summer
It was simply you and me.
No ambition to be something new to possibility.
Nothing could be finer,
Like new tubers blossoming in the sultry haze.
New together, spark to tinder,
Lightning up a hungry blaze.
(McDonald / McAlinden)
Building brave new worlds and living great white hopes.
Narrow-eyed and lean, a fearless legionnaire.
I have never found the strength of my desire.
You lived through extremes and struggled to survive.
New leaves are turning. New days are coming.
Celebrate, celebrate.. careless and light, aimless and free.
Celebrate, celebrate.. weightless and high, happy as air.
Holy joy, holy joy.. live and be damned, live and be damned.
Celebrate, celebrate.. surrender yourself, come alive.
Up above the roof, the sky is brilliant blue.
Past the threshold lights, nothing confines you.
Now the storm has gone -- no need to batten down.
There's another life slowly melting you.
Sunshine on your upturned face,
Everything falls into place
Blue sky above, sand underfoot
The happiest I have seen you look.
Sunrise stirs the low landscape,
More beauty than your breath can take,
Boats out to sea, gulls in the air,
I might look as if I didn't care.
Careful with me, careful with my heart,
The world keeps turning, my world falls apart,
When you're out of reach from me
When you're out of reach from me
Fool or wise no inbetween
I've been both and I can't win
If this love should suffer sudden death,
It won't be because I'm not myself
I don't forget
I depend upon
the simple fact you turn my heart
over,over,over,over,over.
Careful with me, careful with my heart,
The world keeps turning, my world falls apart,
When you're out of reach from me
Yes.. please let it begin
I want you to smile within,
Oh, a moment on the arm of wonder.
What, what more can I ask,
than for you to look at me, whisper to me,
show me you'll be wrapped about me.
Tell me, tell me, tell me everything
you and I can share within,
Oh, the darker moments vanish into air.
Breathe me, I am air
Touch me, I am sky,
Breathe me, like the first time.
I hold you in my heart
Touch you, with my eyes,
Breathe me, like the first time.
What, what more can I ask
than for you to look at me, wondrously, and
say "I love you", say you love me.
Tell me, tell me everything
you and I can feel within
Oh, the darker moments vanish into air.
Breathe me, I am air
Touch me, I am sky,
Breathe me, like the first time.
I hold you in my heart
Touch you, with my eyes,
Do you find your kisses gone
when she kisses everyone ?
Mmm...pretty, pretty eyes
didn't she take you by surprise ?
She will lose you sleep
under horizontal command
She will kick...
kick you, kick you down at heel
Two shoes, Toulouse you lose
Kiss-yous, miss-yous what's the use p.s?
"I loved you", and she smiled
the caustic croon of something wild
She will lose you sleep
under horizontal command
She will kick...
kick you, kick you down at heel
Pretty baby, pretty heart, pretty
pretty pretty high, pretty low,
Pretty angel, pretty pretty
pretty dumb, pretty smart.
I-I-don't know what to do,
To keep myself in love with you.
Life is made of ones and twos
I just know I'm going to lose.
She will lose you sleep
under horizontal command
She will kick...
kick you, kick you down at heel
Pretty baby, pretty heart, pretty
pretty pretty high, pretty low,
Pretty angel, pretty pretty
pretty dumb, pretty smart.
Pretty baby, pretty heart, pretty
pretty pretty sound, pretty sharp,
Pretty angel, pretty angel
pretty pretty pretty pretty
Pretty baby, pretty heart, pretty
pretty pretty high, pretty low,
Some people feel the void inside
They try to fill the emptiness
With anything in touch or sight
They try to ease the pain
The void affects everyone
But how we respond is up to us
I can feel you now like a virus in my veins
I want you more and more
Jesus you're my overdose
People have sex and drink to death
And some depend on drugs for peace
But nothing else can satisfy
Beneath the lights, the slease, the mayhem
handome ads, and cool seduction.
Everything is impossible and everything's so easy,
Invasion of invented needs,
between the carrot and the stick.
They fix you with their beastly eyes and smile
and if they darken your sweet soul,
and if they ever let you go.
Is your love, is it, strong enough, is it
like a feast, is it, sweet or wild, is it,
All of these things:...?
You could be forgiven
Into anchor-tattooed arms
go sad-eyed dreamers bound for elsewhere
Lovers cling like the Pieta in style
Myth and sham, believe, believe
your tears will end,
you've got to feel this love
please...
and if they darken your sweet soul,
and if they ever let you go.
Is your love, is it, strong enough, is it
like a feast, is it, sweet or wild, is it,
All of these things:...?
Do your damned, devil and deep blue sea
Take my hand we'll forget who we are,
Be my strength, weakness too,
Do your damned, how could I hurt you now
I've got to be where you are
Breathing you skin, your hair
Lying awake while you sleep
Closing the distance you keep,
I'm moving closer to you
there's nothing I wouldn't do
it's gone beyond being a
drop in the ocean.
Dancing our lives away
Moving my heart this way
Secrets are safe with me and
you are, you are
Do your damned, devil and deep blue sea
Take my hand we'll forget who we are,
I dare to have, what I couldn't bare to lose,
Do your damned, how could I hurt you now
I've got to be where you are
Breathing you skin, your hair
Lying awake while you sleep
Closing the distance you keep,
I'm moving closer to you
there's nothing I wouldn't do
it's gone beyond being a
drop in the ocean.
Dancing our lives away
Moving my heart this way
Secrets are safe with me and
walk with me my monster- but close those crusty eyes
the sounds i make may be abrasive- but youll be all right
turn off all your senses and pretend youre home
walk with me and you walk alone
YEAH!!!

tattered masses digging through the remains of the

TINKER tinker PLING- DING DING- DING
my body breaks - the void screams
weary of hollow metals
that ring of hollow life
by hand and by hammer
i give birth tonight
metal bend and metal scream
welding bright the circuit seam
weary of the hollow spaces
between the twinkling lights
i lost something along the way
and it doesn't feel right
MAY-BE IM-NOT
falling apart but falling a lot
MAY-BE IM-NOT
completely circuitry but i can't stop
IM GONNA FALL APART!!!
IM GONNA FALL APART!!!

IM NOT A ROBOT BUT IVE GOT A MECHANICAL HAND
I CAN STEAL THE STARS AND PUT THEM BACK AGAIN
once upon a time- i had a broken heart
once upon a time- i just had a heart
i limped when i was wounded- so i replaced my parts
once upon a time i had a heart but
IM NOT A ROBOT BUT IVE GOT A MECHANICAL HAND
I CAN STEAL THE STARS AND PUT THEM BACK AGAIN
if i am a machine because my hand made heart
then why do i dream im a dinosaur tearing sheep apart
lightning
fill me up - it tells me where to go
colors me and changes me
it withers me to coal
lightning
tears me up - leaves me smoldering
i close my eyes and hear her voice
framed by vulture wings
in the wires of my hand- i see my fate
cold and mechanical- squeaky with hate
it clicks + whiiirs and im satisfied
its designed to fill that black hole deep inside
im turning away from the path of soft skin
to a path of mechanical sin
turning away from the warmth of gold
to an empty machine thats broken and cold
click click click hollow rooms always consume
click click click dark and empty like most of the moon
click click click the things we do in the name of love
click click click secret machines and a rusty glove
SLEEP WELL MECHANICAL THING
YOU WERE FUN FOR AWHILE
BUT NOW IM GOING GOING GOING
TO GO
GET A BURRITO
go get a burrito
And a beef will rise again, broken machine in his hand.
Ten words: snapping bunnies twitching gurgling forget the bombs in your eyes.
Roaring with whispers to the tiny bunnies
SMASH/SPLAT those fucking bunnies
Roaring with whispers to the tiny bunnies
SMASH/SPLAT those fucking bunnies
Send them information in a sensationalist manner, THEY CORRUPT. Heads snapping and misspelling eyes twitching in response to the sound of the words
Red world-like words zooming boiling
Moons in the shallow sky
Roaring with whispers to the tiny bunnies
SPLAT/SQUISH those fucking bunnies
Roaring with whispers to the tiny bunnies
SPLAT/SQUISH those fucking bunnies
Twitching bleeding screaming bring the hammer down
Screaming bunnies bleeding bloody bunnies smeared across the ground Drool spilling down his chin unto his beard as he screams red words at A blank and pointless sky of mothers
Red words popping and crackling black
Ten words: Snapping bunnies twitching gurgling forget the bombs IN YOUR EYES
Forget the bombs in your eyes
Speak the words to crack open the sky
Forget the bombs in your eyes
I've forgotten who i am im
sick and weak and fresh from sleep
i crawl from a crooked bed
with dirty feet and shaky hands
the numbers on the clock read
one-one-four-oh ay em
ive got time to clean myself
then sell my soul again
when i sleep i dream
i dream i am awake
or was it when awake
i dream i am asleep
I work i shit i eat i sleep
im inspected by the number seven
this cant be my life
no this isn't me
i don't know whats beset this change
i barely recognize my own face
in my mind somethings just not right
but in my heart im bathed in golden liiiight
Bathed in GOLDEN LIGHT!
Bathed in a GOLDEN LIGHT
my eyelids still heavy my pulse still faint
im puzzle pieces- my memorys stained
i feel strength swell a day dream
im shaking under this duality
my pulse is still faint
i hear a strange voice but know what its saying
AND IN THIS MOMENT
seconds stop and i BURST with clarity
a weath lf love and hate-- gone blank
for i finally remember MY FUCKING NAME!
I EAT ROCKS
AND I BREATHE WIND
IVE BEEN AROUND THE WORLD
AND BACK AGAIN
ive lost the static
and the grey is gone
ive got the power of
A MILLION EXPLODING SUNS!!
I AM CONSUMED BY MY MIGHT
BLINDED IN LIGHT AS I WOULD BE IN NIGHT
THIS VOID IS HOLDING ME TIGHT
IT DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT
When will I ever break FREE
Within or without im chained by the dream
THE VOID IS HOLDING ME TIGHT
IT DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT
When will I ever break FREE
Within or without im chained by the dream
the void and the light are both me
IT DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT
Now bright lights flood my eyes
its true I realize
The perilous truth of a perilous life
by my own device
The strength of my high is the strength of my low
unless theres no me

INTRO:
What's that? (Fire from the gods)
I don't know.
Power glove...
THAT LITTLE BASTARD,
with his tricks and vile forms of play
hacking shaving slicing mutilating
all that gets before him,
all that gets in his way.
Coming around down the stairs.
wood cracks beneath my feet,
my hand slips across the rail
collecting dust on my finger tips.
I came into a dark room
the smell of wet stone of many years
then there was a bubonic retard's blank empty stare...
LITTLE ANDROID MAN
HALF THE SIZE THAT I AM

OUTRO:
Right now, in the heat of my head
a flower blooms that was already dead
decembers long gone
but these fields are forever frozen
......and everything she said
burns in the back of my head
quick-sands of silver
under dreams still glittering golden
all along i sing this song
it runs wild like a river inside
a voice cries out sharp words of doubt
if i take them to heart they make me bleed
everyday my attention strays
light like life it fades away
the clock it ticks
i turn my back
i feel the surface bulge and crack....
tick tick tock tick tock tick tick tick tock tick tock tick
SLAM!@#!@#
I WANT THE CHANNNNGGGEE
I FEEL THE CHANNNNNNGGGEE
then post-metamorphosis where do the answers lie
one above and one below with lions locked inside
then in silence they turn the key
setting all those lions free.e.eee.e
then i hold my head up higher and higher
reach out tentacles to every desire
i faced the sea and its time for a change
i am an octopus in flames
sinking underwater
sweating boiling getting hotter
bubbles burst between my fingers
my breath is cracked and drawn
sinking like an anvil
and facing several tentacles
my eyes go black and pop red cherries
the surface me is gone
GONE
IM GONE
GONE
IM GONE
GONE
IM GONE
GONE
IM GONE
im mesmerized -- a servant to the light u cant deny it
with everyone standing here
im a million miles away
(McAlinden / McDonald)
Picture a prison in a darkened cell.
Battlements and moat,
A palace serves as well.
Charmed and blessed,
Your easy life.
Daylight's gone,
If sleep won't come
You scare yourself.
Sorry, my dear,
You're not alone, you're not alone.
In all that you fear,
You're not alone, you're not alone.
You don't need a jailer,
You've got the job well done.
Plough a lonely furrow,
Need nothing from no one.
Charmed and blessed, your sweet sweet life.
Daylight's gone,
If sleep won't come
You scare yourself.
Sorry, my dear,
You're not alone, you're not alone.
In all that you fear,
You're not alone, you're not alone.
Sorry, my dear,
You're not alone, you're not alone.
the lights are on
the tvs off
the floors are flesh and silk
both sinfully soft
skin glides over silk
and silk glides over skin
the penthouse is alive tonight
theres people writhing in its veins
sunken in the masters chair
lord golds faceâa blank survey
women pleasure men at the wave of a golden hand
and turn to receive when it waves again
the wine is fire
the whiskys full of stars
theres a deaf mute in a bunny suit
working the bar
the lovers FUCK
they pulse and moan
passion paying tribute
at the foot of a porcelain.......
sunken in the masters chair
lord golds faceâa blank survey
women pleasure men at the wave of a golden hand
and turn to receive when it waves again
STILL HIS EYES ARE LIKE AN EMPTY CAROUSEL
PROMISING PLEASURE BUT OFFERING NONE!
....she feels him,
WATCHING GAZING LEERING BLANKLY VACANT WORTHLESS GOLDEN PERFECT
and outside of these walls these walls nothing exists
and inside of these walls theres flesh + gold and blood in the wine
outside theres barren emotional landscapes
here we drink, dream + cum inside
here theres no pain
HERE.....SHE.......COMES
WASH OFF THE FILTH AND BRING HER
shower her body with julep and incense
fill her with jewels covered in cum
sacrificed in HIS alter of passions
the golden day has come
the lights are all off now
and the love growing louder
the pink, throbbing and filling the room
indulging the inner, denying the outer
shes brought before he
his empty gaze it lingers....
...he beats a cats paw- against a toy drum
his GOLDEN WILL be done.
Your legs are sweet and look like ivory,
I can smell them and taste them at the same time.
My mouth waters with anticipation,
we're together and I'm alive.
Feel my teeth, they're long and hard,
the tips sharp enough to pierce your hide.
Now it's time to taste your flesh,
you gasp and whimper a silent cry,
goodbye.
I prowl the room,
I prowl the room for something sweeter to consume.
I prowl the room,
I prowl the room for something sweeter to consume.
It's not enough,
it's not enough,
it's not enough,
no, it's not enough.
My sweat it starts to cover you,
and your body starts to shake.
No matter how much that you give,
I just want more to take.
It's natural,
it's natural.
I prowl the room,
I prowl the room for something sweeter to consume.
I prowl the room,
I prowl the room for something sweeter, something sweeter, something sweeter.
It's not enough,
it's not enough,
it's not enough,
no, it's not enough.
My mouth has had its fill of you,
I can taste you on my breath.
I give you one last kiss,
and it's the kiss of death
It's not enough,
it's not enough,
it's not enough,

Lights out-- shadows bloom
crawling hands slide to me--across a midnight room
i fear my blankets may not be the best
defenses that i could muster
still the chill beyond is like lizard claw
reaching from the hereafter
silent things scream from silent dreams BANG
still the room is still yet i'm filled with a cold
I'M TERRIFIED!
I'M TERRIFIED!
I'M TERRIFIED!
I'M TERRIFIED!
pause cold i'm alone
i pick up the phone
but i fear
that it's been disconnected
i don't even check
because i hear a breath
and i know
this is the end of me
i'm going to hell
A silent scream it whispers free from me
my mouth is dry my eyes are wide
i'm statuesque- petrified
the room is BLACK!
my mind is REDISH
i'm alone in the room
but theres someone in my head
HUNGRY HANDS HAUNT ME IN THE MORROW OF THE NIGHT
I'M THINKING SHAKING BEGGING for a precious nite-light because
I'M TERRIFIED!
I'M TERRIFIED!
I'M TERRIFIED!
I'M TERRIFIED!
what should i do when the nightmares come true
the lampshades have faces and the closets are cruel
gasp and TREMBLE- weep and DROOL
dawns glorious light-- a stale recourse
in the empty cup i'm still seeing stars
well thats all right
it's like i'm already there
seven dawns UP seven moons DOWN
i'll get to sleep some night soon
thats all right
warm flesh and oh so smooth skin TWINS a sun and moon
I could have been anything leading the armies of the
free or building the great elaborate id. but one of
them i dared to love so long without defense my eyes
went white and blind. now i know -only two, two
wretched sisters fucking-lying sisters woe and hate.

CHEERING VAGUE OBScENITIES IN AN EMPTY ROOM... ON A
DIRTY FLOOR... WRITING PAGAN POETRY ON MY BIRTHDAY
CARD, ANOTHER DAMN BIRTHDAY CARD SPLINTERS... WRITING
What if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness
And say to you, "Everything unutterably small or great in this life will have to return to you,
All in the same succession and sequence, even this spider and this moonlight between the trees, and even this moment and I myself - the eternal hourglass."
Speck of dust!
Speck of dust!
Speck of dust!
Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus?
Or have you once experienced a tremendous moment when you would have answered him.
You would have answered him.
You would have answered him:
"You are a god and never have I heard anything more divine!"
If this thought gained possession of you, it would change you,
Or perhaps it would crush you;
The question in each and everything,
"Do you desire this once more, and innumerable times more?"
The question in each and everything,
"Do you desire this once more, and innumerable times more?"
Would you lie upon your actions as the greatest weight!
This life as you now live and have lived it before,
You will live once again
And there will be nothing,
But every pain and joy,
And every thought and sigh,
And every pain and joy,
And every thought and sigh!
Or how well disposed would you become to yourself and to life to crave nothing more fervently than this ultimate eternal confirmation and seal?
The question is.
The question is.
The question is.
the sheep----- tonight they weep
FEAR -----for the feeding
GASP------clutched in groups
no they dont
no they dont hope
these poor sheep tonight they weep
begging for death but they settle for sleep
sound of grinding metals always looming near by
their bodies are caged and now so are their minds
ooh. these trembling thingsssssssss
these poor sheep cant lay their heads down.......
(no dreams of softer sounds)
blood is in the mud
trampled by hooves
that constantly shake
and nervously move
no hope or ambition
they stay with the group
these filthy fucking animals
theyre just like you
animals
were animals
animals
were animals
animals
were animals
and in the twilight swoon
under an empty moon
the creatures stop their shake
and plan a quick escape
theyre dancing on barbwire
fraught with curdled screams
messy skins and messy fluids
pave a road to golden dreams
they move in a frenzy
across their mothers backs
out into the open
they dont look back
SOUNDS. it rots their minds- leaves them blind
NO DREAMING OF SOFTER
SOUNDS. it rots their brains- drives them insane
NO DREAMING OF SOFTER
SOUNDS. it rots their minds- leaves them blind
NO DREAMING OF SOFTER
SOUNDS. it rots their brains- drives them insane
NO DREAMING OF SOFTER SOUNDS
NO DREAMING OF SOFTER SOUNDS
Hang on, hang on, hang on!
Hang on, hang on, hang on!
Hang on, hang on, hang on!
Hang on, hang on.
I took steps in this mission
to take the tumultuous ride.
It's all right,
I'm the physician,
this medicine will keep me alive.
I wouldn't feel, I wouldn't look,
and I would rarely care,
but there's a small window at the end of this train.
I hear something out there.
I didn't know and I wouldn't try,
I didn't have the need.
The sound from the windows is becoming much clearer,
that windows a mirror.
I see myself,
I'm not alone on this train of jewels and gold.
Passengers and passer-by,
strange sparkles in their eyes.
Then black stars start boiling from my mouth,
I want to die.
I fall on my knees I clutch my face,
then glow and come alive.
There's lightning in my hair,
thunder in my ears.
I go so far my head explodes,
I'm almost half way there.
Lightning in the sky,
thunder of the train.
Diving into a bottomless rift,
falling like rain.
Lightning in the sky,
thunder in my room.
There's no flavor to memories
and memories are moment's doom.
Hang on, hang on, hang on!
Hang on, hang on, hang on!
Hang on, hang on, hang on!
Hang on, hang on.
Onto the treasure train,
valleys of sorrow and peaks of joy,
across an empty plain.
The treasure, the treasure.
On the treasure train,
on the treasure train,
on the treasure train,
We will never be the same.
On the treasure train,
on the treasure train,
on the treasure train,
I go so far my head explodes,
im mezmerized
a servant to the light
a victim to the red and blue
green, yellow and white
lingering so lovingly
to the songs so gay i scream
brighter than the stars themselves,
sweeter than icecream
masses meld
the titans come
this crowd is torn asunder
to a quivering mass
they smiled down at me
devour my face and head
everything was washed away
into light. i wont break
light. this perfect light.
clean again. limited.
:music:
:screaming:
illuminated hungry smiles
caterpillars and crocodiles
rawrrr
light bulb. flash pulse. bright light bright night everyones fucked!
light bulb. flash pulse. bright light bright night everyones fucked!
things never change, only rearrange
like a suicide. its do or die
coming down again like a grain of sand
Do your damned, devil and deep blue sea
Take my hand we'll forget who we are,
Be my strength, weakness too,
Do your damned, how could I hurt you now
I've got to be where you are
Breathing you skin, your hair
Lying awake while you sleep
Closing the distance you keep,
I'm moving closer to you
there's nothing I wouldn't do
it's gone beyond being a
drop in the ocean.
Dancing our lives away
Moving my heart this way
Secrets are safe with me and
you are, you are
Do your damned, devil and deep blue sea
Take my hand we'll forget who we are,
I dare to have, what I couldn't bare to lose,
Do your damned, how could I hurt you now
I've got to be where you are
Breathing you skin, your hair
Lying awake while you sleep
Closing the distance you keep,
I'm moving closer to you
there's nothing I wouldn't do
it's gone beyond being a
drop in the ocean.
Dancing our lives away
Moving my heart this way
Secrets are safe with me and
I've been anticipating the sacred day when this pestilence is stricken away.
Bathe my hands in glory that it brings, strike you down with righteousness it sings.
Your devastation and desecration will end. Assimilate and contemplate the meaning of the end.
The light within it makes you blink. Feel the fire within it, you can't breathe. Crashing down upon you, you're terrified. Now you see the light but in the end you die.
The life within it makes you weep. The pain within it makes you scream. Crashing down upon you, you're paralyzed. And you're terrified.
Your Mutilation will end. Genocide, Xenocide, the ending of the end. Annihilation, Reformation the cycle never ends. This is the end, don't pretend, in this ending you are dead.
-All the people, they scream and flee. You can't escape the judgment of the free. Feel the pain, taste blood running down your face. Never was, never will, vanish without a trace.
-When I'm too tired to try, too tired to do it this time. Next day I'll deal with it then, maybe I'll do it next time. But now I'm gone, this time forever. Lost my last chance, never have this again. Never again...
ahhhhhhh!!!!.........eeeeeegggss!!!!!!!
Bird..... OOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
The geek, with no beak:
He's so weak he cannot speak!
The geek, with no beak:
He's so weak he cannot speak!
Vestigial wings
And dwarven legs.
A semper fi cranium
That's got automatic eggs.
His gaping maw
Is geared to spew.
He just might be a she
So Birdette will do!!
Go eat your eggs!
Force fed, force fed.
Go eat your eggs!
Out of his mouth-
Straight at your head!!
With purple pants,
(They start to tear)
I reach out with all my might to
Poke out an eye.
I poke out an eye!
I poke out an eye!
My seven year old smile:
Vanishing!
Eggs,
Why eggs?!
It's breaking my heart.
It's hurting my nose.
It's turning my skin green!
Why did you have to be so mean?!
In my dreams I despise you
More than you'll ever know.
Even when I speak your name
It makes me fucking choke!
Bird...... YAYAYAYAYAYAYA!!!
Bird......
Throw it back!
Throw it back!
Throw it back!
Throw it back!
Throw it back!
Throw it back!
Throw it back!
I will not fade!
I will not fade!
I might be a baby caught in the snow,
But you know...
I will not fade!
I will not fade!
I ripped off my arms
So long ago.
All these wheels:
They seem amazing!
All these bombs
Must be ready to blow.
All this time
I could have tried.
All this time
I did not know.
The letters grow long and weary
And build into a maze.
The dialects laid beneath
Drip from hands yellow-stained.
Inside the envelope a heart of golden sand
Wrapped in snakes, clenched in a fist
Of a mechanical hand.
Give up and go away!!
Into the void.
Be silent and do not speak!!
Into the void.
Be blind and do not gaze!!
Into the void.
Be numb and do not reach!!
Into the void.
And if they want!
And if they want!
And if they want!
...I'll come undone.
I might be amazed like a baby but
I don't have those eyes.
Soaring quails sing of their glories;
Vultures always lie.
In the deep, the creatures weep,
Begging to be fried.
Any change can be magnificent
If you only try.
Face the stars or the abyss!
Face the stars or the abyss!
Face the stars or the abyss!
Face the stars or the abyss!
I'll face the stars or the abyss,
But not nothing at all.
I'll face the stars or the abyss-
From nothing I can't fall.
All these wheels:
They seem amazing!
All these bombs
Must be ready to blow!
All this time
I could have tried!
All this time
I did not know!
It's so amazing!
It's so-
It's so...
It's so amazing!
It's so amazing!
It's so-
It's so...
i feel like im becoming
a butterfly
or a golden bee
my smiles like razor blades
when i smile it cuts bloody deep
my body is in the magazines
my face on the tv
my voice on the radio
thats me in my dreams
but when i open my eyes
i see im a piece of SHIT!
A WORTHLESS COWARD
A VAPID WHORE
A MORAL-LESS REFUGEE
COVERED IN SORES
A BLITHERING SEA COW
LOST IN ITS DREAMS
NOBODY LIKES ME, YEAH
NOBODY WANTS ME AT ALL
NOBODY LIKES ME, YEAH
wet blue world-- it fills me up
i find im deep inside
waves crash and i breathe water
but i havent died
i wont come up
i wont come up for air
i wont come up
i wont come up for air
.....and beneath the waves
i hide my head in darker waters
and nobody sees
.....i cut myself
and hope to draw you in
but even sharks pass by
someone please explain
all alone im growing colder
laughter like cancer over my shoulder
mirrors like hatchets to the wound of my face
you know im a complete.....
IM A COMPLETE DISGRACE
IM NOT A MANATEEN
IM NOT A MANATEEN
JUST LEAVE ME ALONE
JUST LEAVE ME ALONE
.....and beneath the sea
i give up and i descend
and im finally free
...and in the end
wet blue world-- fills me up

waves crash and i breathe water
but i havent died
NEVER
WITH FURIOUS POISON IN MY HEART

AND INTO THE ENDLESS TIDE
i wont come up

i wont come up for air tonight
i wont come up
i wont come up
i wont come up for air tonight
cold
and all alone
i held my own
Had a brother
Drove a boot-filled Cadillac
Left home at fourteen
Said mom I'll never come back
Started doin' horse
Felt like a bird on a wing
A junkie in the waiting
To die
Driving a spitfire
Top down looking for gas
Parameter, Kingcross, uptown
He never came back
Started doin' horse
Felt like a bird on a wing
A junkie in the waiting
To die
Niel Young said
Needle and the damage done
I say
Why can't we all just live as one
Started doin' horse
Felt like a bird on a wing
A junkie in the waiting
Get on your horse it's time to go
No need to bow now, live ain't a show
Get on your horse ride away
Everyone gets the turn to try and get saved
The world is sad but so were you
It's bitter but it's true
Get of the ferris wheel of life
When the music plays oh it unveils the lies
No investigation, no clever litigation's gonna
Capture the essence of a life
You had it all, had it all
They took a young boys heart and turned it to gold
You had it all, had it all
Fly on away like Peter Pan
Magical stories, you never found them
You built your own world
You captured your dreams
Dreams you where denied of
So you lived around them
Some of us loved you
Some didn't care for you
I know, I know
You had it all, you had it all
They took a young boys heart and turned it to gold
You had it all, you had it all
Now you're just another story that is waiting to be
sold
You had it all, you had it all
They took a broken man's soul and broke it more
You had it all, you had it all
My baby is a horse
She's running out of course
Papa was the first to taste
Her meat was what she has
Learning by time and doing
Now she's humming na, na, na, na, yeah, uh yeah
I've tried to stop her
Said, 'are you trying to get killed by standing on the street side?'
My baby is a horse
She's running out of course
Smoking grass with guess
One that squeezing her chest
Learning by time and doing
Now she's humming na, na, na, na, yeah, uh yeah
I've tried to stop her
See me she'd my mind as I leave to find the circles
With the gilded tongue of the eldest son I ask her
And I inch a smile as I take a mile from tyheir longings
ANd they form a chain in the fleeting rain as I leave them
I don't want to be responsible
Look at me now in my real skin
Made a vow my real skin
Shed it now keep coming in
Here for now in my real skin
I saw a picture frame tied to a horse
I saw the chrystal night out on the concourse
And the ancient trees of the bended knees will fracture
And we double take at an empty wake and leave them
I don't want to be responsible
Look at me now in my real skin
Made a vow my real skin
Shed it now keep coming in
Here for now in my real skin
Round and round and round and round
Round and round and round and round
I don't want to be responsible
I don't want to be responsible
Look at me now
Look at me now
Look at me now in my real skin
Made a vow my real skin
Shed it now keep coming in
