Do you have love for humankind?
Do you have love for humankind?
Do you have love for humankind?
Do you have love for humankind?
Heart so hollow I tried to swallow
Pistols, nightshade, ghosts and gallow
All you fellows climb me like a staircase, wore me down
Smooth from footfall, wore me down
(wore me down)
Do you have love for humankind?
Do you have love for humankind?
Do you have love for humankind?
Do you have love for humankind?
So long sweet thing, my old man,
Left me grieving, black and blue and tan
I've the feeling you'll be kneeling
when the day turns forever into night
Hope for healing if you're willing
Do you have love for humankind?
Do you have love for humankind?
Do you have love for humankind?
Do you have love for humankind?
Orphan Girl, child, sing along
Stop the slaughter of our daughters
poisoning the water
Heart strings broken,
wearily tuned to the moon
Bastard widows born marooned
Nameless, faceless black-eyed soul
Slave to sorrow, find your way home
Do you have love for humankind?
Do you have love for humankind?
Do you have love for humankind?
Do you have love for humankind?
Do you have love for humankind?
(Hope for healing if you're willing)
Do you have love for humankind?
(hope for healing if you're willing)
Do you have love for humankind?
Do you have love for humankind?

Under what spell the guiding light
Betook the undertaker
Under whose gaze did fall such evil blunder
Characters of flamen eyes
Eager to burn the wooden castle
Eager to wet the paper heart of children birds
The aching starlet
The singing sinew
The whining ghost
Brutal wind of snowy harlot
Chafen mine eyes
A sandpaper kiss
Bloody rosen my cheek
Purple kiss of stardust
Pink balloon of time
Candied on the inside
Baby pit bull butterfly
Miss madonna won't you give me a kiss
One of your soft sweet lagrimas
Miss madonna won't you give me a kiss
One of your soft sweet lagrimas
Oh miss madonna won't you please give me a kiss
Give me one of those soft sweet lagrimas
'Cause i felt your pain
When your baby was slain
And i tossed some roses to perfume his grave
Oh miss madonna won't you let me underneath your halo
'Cause it's raining hard
Raining hard in this abyss
Miss madonna...
Oh miss madonna where you goin' after church
In that preacher's car
You know o won't tell nobody
That you've been smoking cigars
I won't tell nobody
Tell nobody
That you've been smoking cigars
You wanted to buy me
For a hundred euro
You said you'd take me
To your little car
Your friend lived near by
He had a house and all
Where was i from you said
You guessed yugoslavia
Well it's not yogoslavia
It's not yugoslavia at all
It reminded me
Of a movie i just saw
About a little girl
From yugoslavia
She got sent away
They made her prostitute
She ate mcdonald's all day
And never had a chance to play
Lyla
You wanted to buy me
For a hundred euro
You said you'd take me
To your little car
Your friend lived near by
He had a house and all
Where was i from you said
You guessed yugoslavia
But it's not yugoslavia
It's hardly yugoslavia at all
Climbing for coconuts
Musical shells
We never saw the smoke signal
We watched Amelia Earhart fly on by
And refused the talking dolphins that offered us a ride
We just beat each other up
And made constant love
You couldn't tell the difference
Best friends or?
We ambushed the doves
And made jewelry out of pearls
I was homecoming queen
I'll wait for you until the streets become sand
And all the cellings in new york have come down
I marvel at, days that go
Tears of a grass widow
When I was young, I thought I'd be
More than just a fantasy
I wanna be this, I wanna be that
A big black dog with the soul of a cat
The blue eyed Devil, inside on me
He won't leave, he's buried deep
I used to have eyes, the colour of sky
Now I can see, in the middle of the night
I used to have eyes, the colour of sky
Now I can see, in the middle of the night
If I told you, would you believe
My soul is wicked, I'm a thief
They'd all burned me, 1690
It was a deadly night shade, which finished me
Now I'm haunting and I'm looming round
The old church yard and the damn dog pound
I'm giving some hell and I'm feeling free
Never was more than a fantasy
But I fly at night and by your candlelight
My shadow passed your window
I used to have eyes, the colour of sky
Now I can see, in the middle of the night
I used to have eyes, the colour of sky
Now I can see, in the middle of the night
C'est l'histoire d'un homme
Au coeur de bois
La mer est calme
Sous l'écran de la caméra
Comme une ampoule electrique grillée
Dans un seau d'eau
The sea is calm
Through the video camera
Like a dead light bulb
In a bucket of water
Yes in a bucket of water
The sea is calm
Through handmade lenses
Like animals
In soundless dream
Like animals
In bottles of butter
A miniature sailboat
Tin foil and paper
The waves are big
And there's a warm wind...
Il est sous le feu des projecteurs
D'un soleil cassé
Il a jeté son corps comme une ancre
Comme un morceau de sucre
Et s'est dissout
He's in the spotlight of a broken sun
He dropped his body like an anchor
Like a lump of sugar
And he dissolved
On the anniversary of his death
She drew a beautiful picture of a whale
She drew a picture of a whale
She drew a beautiful picture of a whale
She drew a beautiful picture of a whale
I caught a glimpse out the window
A Polish graveyard filled with widows
I coddle a bottle of warm beer
I see a pool of liquid tears
Glimmering so sweet and mellow
A sea of lilting wilting willow
A secret book of forgotten wishes
Drown in ponds with broken dishes
The moon asked the crow
For a little show
In the hazy milk of twilight
No one had to know
Angel brother I miss your hair
Careless nature gentle stare
You fell like rain in the dark abysses
Kissed the lips of bloody twinsis
Sung to you a slew of sirens
Tricky mermaids and evil pirates
You watched the sky
With kaleidoscopic eyes
Howling out right
To the blasphemous night
A wolf in the garden
Why do you linger so
Like a silky snail soul
The moon asked the crow
For a little show
In the hazy milk of twilight
Deep inside my heart and it's splintered at it's core
Molden curdle of milken puddle
Dreams of warm breasts settling in my mouth
To be my spouse make a bale and a house
Apple tree, drunken brawl domestically
Dirty dog dusty pawed bloody nose roses embroidered sheets
Dangle like women in the breeze on a line above the yard
In my heart a flower dies slow like a campfire covered
In piss mellows like snow fall
Mellows like snow fall
Raphael you know just how
To take me in the swimming pool
Like a child being baptized
Beneath the starry sky we lie
Drowning in your watery thighs
Luscious eyed you a teenage player
In my heart an island sinks slow
Tears fall in the kitchen sink O
Don't speak I can hear you
If every angel's terrible
Then why do you welcome them
If every angel's terrible
Then why do you welcome them
If every angel's terrible
Then why do you welcome them
You provide the bird bath
I provide the skin
And bathing in the moonlight
I'm to tremble like a kitten
If blue eyed babes
Raised as hitler's little brides and sons
They got angelic tendencies
Like some boys tend to act like queens
Oh if every angel's terrible
Then why do you watch her sleep
You love to hear her sing
And wear purple eyes like rings
Well the flowers have no scent
And the child's been miscarried
Oh every angel's terrible
Said freud and rilke all the same
Rimbaud never paid them no mind
But jimmi morrison had his elevators
His elevators
He had his elevator angels
If every angel's terrible
Why do you hide inside her
Like a child in a skirt
The supermarket's loud and bright
And boy don't she feel warm tonight
Boy don't she feel warm tonight
Boy don't she feel warm tonight
I fell in love with a bad bad man
Every since I met him
I've been sad sad sad
I'm a jailbird to your music
A criminal in your prayer
I watch you in your sleep
Even when you're not there
Rainbows wept color all over the streets
When you went away maybe one day we'll meet
Lipstick I'd wear for one million years
Just to stop your eyes from falling down tears
I fell in love with a bad bad man
Every since I met him
I've been sad sad sad
I'm a jailbird to your music
A criminal in your prayer
I watch you in your sleep
Even when you're not there
Rainbows wept color all over the streets
When you went away maybe one day we'll meet
One day we'll meet
One day we'll meet
One day
Oh sailor
Oh sail me
Silver mast do impale me
Oh windless
Oh windy
Remind me
Rewind me
Oh laughter
Oh laughless
Just sing this
Just mean this
Infinity whispered to me
A mumble so dreamy
A soft sound so creamy
So dreamy
Dreamy
Infinity whispered to me
A mumble so dreamy
A soft sound so creamy
So dreamy
So dreamy
Simon, my brother, first man I loved
Or should I say that he loved me
I was in second grade, he was fourteen
In the shady of the trees
It was a summer breeze
Whole thing's a blurry dream
Behind the house quiet as a mouse
He told me not to breathe
A secret hard to keep
I didn't know till thirteen
By then I knew just what to do
It was just an old routine
All the boys they fell in love with me
All the boys had a thing for me
CHORUS: x2
You see me trying to smile up on this pole
But I'm just hiding the pain that's deep in my soul
You wanna fuck me
I already know
You wanna fuck me and toss me back on the floor
My mama she always said to me I am the brightest star
In life, you're sure to go so far
But I've been at this club about four years
Hooked on dope, crying in the mirror
When we were just little girls
We learned to dance in mama's pearls
Baby bend over and shake that ass for me
Hoping you fall in love with me
I could make love to you for free
We could just get a place and start a life
And try to make things right.
CHORUS: x4
You see me trying to smile up on this pole
But I'm just hiding the pain that's deep in my soul
You wanna fuck me
I already know
Hurricane dream, waking windy
When you touched me in my blanky
Started screaming, I'm still dreaming
Of my mama come and take me
Board me, I'll remember thee
With starry eyes and rosy cheeks
Blossom gold between the teeth
Stonewashed jeans and bloody knees
Chicken and fox in the tall, tall grass
Better run fast or they'll get your ass
Evil uncle dangles you
By your skinny white ankles
The normal kids throw sticks at me
We eat popcorn and watch TV
Their mom smokes cigarettes
Wears short shorts, smoking nicorette
Voice high-pitched and unspirit-like
Somebody's baby boy ain't coming home tonight
We don't need no baseball bats
We don't need no silver ghats
But we're gonna fight tonight
Put up your dukes and fight
Big brother's just standing on the side
Watching you flex your pride
But you know if they all jump in
Big brother's got your skin
The ice cream truck sings no more
All the kids from school are keeping score
You swing and you duck and you hit the floor
But you gotta get up at least once more
Mama comes screaming down the stairs
Everybody looks nobody scares
Mama can't believe that nobody cares
It's her baby boy how do they dare
Mama says bitch come over here
If you're so tough you'll have no fear
But why'd you bring your friends
And the whole damn school
To watch my baby boy go down like a fool
But brother says mama they're the same damn size
Got to let him grow up and get street wise
But mama says baby go get that bat
And come back down and beat some ass
Somebody's baby boy ain't coming home tonight
One wrong move and it'll be too late
Mama won't be making no birthday cake
It all went down one afternoon
They call her smokey taboo
I got your name tattooed
High like a helium balloon
Midnight to noon
I'm a desert child
And mountains make me nauseous
I like to look up wild at an infinite sky
Twinkling with diamonds
It's true I get depressed in fancy hotel rooms
Undressed with nothing to flaunt but my loneliness
Thinking of the night song of your hair
Premature as evening falls
It calls to me
Interrupted by the sirens in the street
Somedays you're like an anchor on my heart
They say that stolen water tastes sweet
More like rotten milk and rancid meat to me
I prefers when it is free
Like looking at the stars
Don't need no fancy cars
When we first
Our kisses sparked
Yeah I'm afraid of sharks
In these times of evil spirits
Of material thugs and mischief
Fear Saint Noni's wisdom
And his love for rainbow spirits
Jealous of their faithful heart-bond
And their dancing and their laughing
Made at last a league against them
To molest them and destroy them
Saint Noni wise and heart-strong
Often said to Rainbowarrior
"O my brother do not leave me!
Lest the evil spirits harm you!"
Rainbowarrior of two spirits
Gentle hand and lion-hearted
He laughed and then he answered
Like a child he softly whispered
We are rainbowarriors
Evil come not near
Rainbow love awaits us
With hearts of love and tears
He's dead our sweetest mother
Loving father and our teacher
He's gone from us forever
He has moved a little nearer
To the master of all laughter
To the master of all song
O my brother, O my brother
Crystal brother of two spirits
Then we gathered in a circle
Stood round the rainbow fire
Burning embers hearts united
We remembered mystical beauty
If you look hard you can find a
Rainbow trail it's deep inside you
Fear not you're a rainbowarrior
Golden light on everything gleaming
We are rainbowarriors
Evil come not near
Rainbow love awaits us
In her mourning
In her grave
Don't you miss the way
That she brushed her heavy hair
Oh la la la la la
Acid burned face clowny tear smile
She's the one who made you wild
She made you question all your answers
Made you beg for her forgiveness
Baby girl don't cry
Momma's gonna buy you a glass eye
And it will glimmer like starlight
She's got no reservations
Ain't got no place to be
He graveyard's in the backyard
Where the meadows used to be
Lord knows my destination
Lord heards my inner prayer
Mom'll find me by the river
Sunken with her party balloons
Flowers for the ones you loved
Flowers for the lost at sea
Flowers for the ones you loved
You can leave me
On the corner
Where you found me
Thank you God for this fine day
And bless all the children all over the world
Thank you for the plants and the animals
Oh bring me sweet dreams tonight
And help me be good tomorrow
Noah's ark came to my house one day
With all of his animals and took me away
Oh Noah's ark came to my house one day
With all of his animals and took me away
Thank you God for this fine fine day
And bless all of the children of the world
And thank you for the plants and the animals
And bring me sweet dreams tonight
And help me be good tomorrow
Noah's ark came to my house one day
With all of his animals, He took me away
Oh Noah's ark came to my house one day
With all his animals, and he took me away
Thank you God for this, oh, this fine day
Bless all of the children of the world
Thank you for the plants and the animals
And bring me sweet dreams tonight
And help me be good tomorrow
Noah's ark came to my house one day
With all his animals and he took me away
Noah's ark came to my house one day
With all his animals and he took me away
Thank you for the plants and the animals
Bring me sweet dreams tonight
And help me be good tomorrow
And help me be good tomorrow
Bring me, bring me sweet dreams
My brother
My only kin
I'm lost in tears in the mirror again
Lord knows I have no conscience
But I'll delve into my mind
Where your voice is still a maze
Lord knows I still need you
But you're far away
Lost in some playground
In Disneyland
Take me with you
We'll play till the end
And fall hard
In the face of the earth
My Brother
My long lost friend
We cut our hands
To have more skin
All I found
Once I left this land
Is the desolation of humankind
Follow me
Will you wind this tape back and
It was Cinco de Mayo
Pillow case on his head
No more breathing time
An ambulance sped
Sped 'round every corner
Calling out his name
Shot a rabbit from the back seat window
Sat and watched the summer corn grow
Ate ice cream in a desert dream
And got lost in father's singing
Too hot inside
Too hot outside
Lazy days when I said let's go for a ride
We'd sail on Spirit Lake
Me, my pappy and his lemonade
Tim and Tina were my parents' names
They got engaged
They were inflamed
Seduced by the light of butterflies
How they shimmer, how they glimmer
Those butterflies
We seven kids
We almost died
Nearly put to death
By lightening strikes
Instead there was hot, pink
Flashes in the sky
We climbed the rocks, in snow and rain
In search of magic powers
To heal our mother's pain
Shot a rabbit from the back seat window
Sat and watched the summer corn grow
Ate ice cream in a desert dream
And got lost in father's singing
Too hot inside
Too hot outside
Lazy days when I said let's go for a ride
We'd sail on Spirit Lake
Tiny spirit in a k-hole
Bloated like a soggy cereal
God will come and wash away
Our tattoos and all the cocaine
And all of the aborted babies
Will turn into little bambies
Wounded river push along
Searching for that desert song
And mozart's requiem will play
On tiny speakers made of clay
Tell my mother that i love her
Martin luther you're an angel
Charming monkey saunter swagger
Drunken donkey limbs disjointed
Your chest is a petting zoo
Mexican pony fucked up shoes
I dreamt one thousand basketball courts
Nothing holier than sports
Dragonfly kiss your tail
Precious robot built so frail
Universe of milk and ember
Your hot kiss in mid december
What's god's name i can't remember
Red, green, blue, yellow
Red, green, blue, yellow
Joseph City you look mighty pretty
When your hills are red and rosy
Your streams all dry and sandy
City lady
Make me a further fan
In your old casino
Resting heavy (on the land)
Ravens calling
My baby is cold
Back from the east
He is not deceased
Just a little empty
There's nothing in the ark
Let's get out of this house
It smells like bats
Found a quarter in the open couch
Now it amounts to 60 cents
Lets take a walk to the candy shop
Down the road it's way too hot
Jesus loves me
But not my wife
Not my nigger friends
Or their nigger lives
But jesus loves me
Dat for sure
'Cause the bible tell me so
Read your bible good and well
Don't forget about that apple spell
Don't fall in the wishing well
Wishing for heaven and gettin' hell
Wash behind your ears don't smell
Cover them freckles don't ask don't tell
Kiss your papa but not too long
Hold his hand
Don't do no wrong
Jesus loves me
But not my wife
Not my nigger friends
Or their nigger lives
But jesus loves me
Dat for sure
'Cause the bible tell me so
Hush don't cry
Dry them tears
Time'll wash away all them years
Scar or a bruise
Pick and choose
When you're all grown up
You'll have the blues
Life'll give you that wedding ring
Fancy cars and diamond things
You best believe in Jesus' way
And never fall asleep forgetting to pray
Jesus loves me
But not my wife
Not my nigger friends
Or their nigger lives
But jesus loves me
Dat for sure
'Cause the bible tell me so
Ask me about my mother
And I'll tell you that I love her
'Cause she feeds me all kinds of foods
Yeah, she feeds me all kinds of foods
Don't you love your baby
Tell me tell me tell me tell me true
And all the foods you ate
Enough to fill your plate
Big houses burn
Big houses burn down
Big houses burn
Big houses burn down
I got a hopscotch tear drop ready to drop
If the sun decides to rise
Without it's colors in your eyes
It matters not a heart of mine
Prefers the darkness
A hopscotch tear drop ready to drop
The worlds rose in the night and prayed
People kissed, kissed and hugged one last time
Saying what have we done for two thousand years
The end it has begun
Should I let my mind run
For a scrap of kettle wood
Blind, woolen cat, bad bat breath beside me
Fuzzy face of pear tree
Ghoulish and cartoony
Surprise me like a monster,
My brother liked to scare me
A rape in the meadow
A fornicating fellow
A flea on the fur of a shaggy old sheep
All tangled up like winter
Bramble branch of brown tree
Cut the very life of
Her blood bank that billows
Up from below her
Skirt and sunlit blouses
Kangaroo mommy
Rapunzel and a tomboy
Fatherless a heart broke
A hankering, a steak knife
A wallowing a child,
A banquet a hollycaust
A pussy wussy willow,
Marshmallow, a mantra,
A temper tantric tantrum
A full steam ahead and
They call me Wee Willie Winkie
I'm tired and blinky
Eyeless and poor
Promise I don't snore by candle light
I kiss the shimmering cheeks of little children
Having a mother
I lost in the street
A skinny jungle child
Wayward and windy
Sinful and pretty
I visit the graves of boys
Dead at war
Shipwreck sailors
Don't ask, don't tell
Sweet fragrance of moon has brought me to your room
Where you waft milky magic from that ancient loom
I only have eyes for you
Oh Lord, please tell me you're watching me too
My mother I seek
I long to curl up meek
In the lap of your laughter
You wanted a daughter
I ain't no Jesus
If you give me a dress
I could become your princess
My mother I seek
I long to curl up meek
In the lap of your laughter
You wanted a daughter
I ain't no Jesus
If you give me a dress
I could become your princess
I only I have eyes for you
Interoretation of early black and white haitian love songs
One.
Oceans wept
Moutains slept
Sidewalks crumbled to ash
Your name remains
In children's lullabies
And your eyes forever in the sky
Two.
Pull me close
Dear i'm tremblin'
Hold me tight
I'm afraid ot the night
Blackness fills the room
Your love burns bright
Three.
Oh summer winds
Remind me of your kiss
Soft and warm
I never want to leave this
Four.
I never wanted ti say goodbye
I'd throw myself to the sea
If god promised you're inside
We'd float to island paradise
And i'd become your bride
Five.
The countryside looks bare
Without you lying in her grass
The stream is dry
And the crickets silent
There's no music in the night
I'd become smoke
And hide in your cigarette pack
Seven.
To be a star
Tossing light
To sparkle in your eyes
I'd become an angel
And kiss this earth goodbye
Eight.
Destiny
Use to be
Just a word to me
But heaven sure was right
When they said jesus left somethin' behind
Nine.
Every inch of this body
I'd plate in gold for you
Even though i ain't go no money
I'd do it just to keep you
Ten.
Your eyes appear
In every one of my dreams
They glitter and they gleam
Like the first time we meet
Eleven.
The chickens crowed
And i knowed your home
My spirit ran to greet you
In heaven worm souls flutter
They flutter by with rosaries
Dangling from their necks
German shepherds guide by nightfall
Little kinder
Little kinder dressed in starlight
Inside I feel like
Like I'm crying besides a tree
I'm watching myself like an old T.V.
I'm watching myself like an old movie on color T.V.
When people whisper in Portuguese
It's just as mysterious
And the stubble on his face
It hurt me when
When we fell onto each other's faces
Dawn retraces heart ached patterns across grey oceans
Windows brighten up the room
And one could cast a smooth worn lover's stone
Worn smooth from days of fertile deliberation
Dawn retraces heart ached patterns across grey oceans
I once fell in love with you
Just because the sky turned from gray
Into blue
It was a good friday
The streets were open and empty
No more passion play
On st. Nicholas avenue
I believe in st. Nicholas
Born illegitimately
To a whore most likely
He became an orphan
Oh what a lovely orphan
He was sent to the reformatory
Ten years old was his first glory
Got caught stealing from a nun
Now his love story had begun
Thirty years he spent wandering
A devil's child with dove wings
He went to prison
In every country he set foot in
Oh how he loved prison
How awfully lovely was prison
All those beautiful boyz
Pimps and queens and criminal queers
All those beautiful boyz
Tattoos of ships and tattoos of tears
His greatest love was executed
The pure romance was undisputed
Angelic hoodlums and holy ones
Angelic hoodlums and holy ones
All my charities belong to you
Watching dolphins in your sea
The earth is a pretty place to be
All my charities belong to thee
Black bodies float in the sea
We can see but he can't see me
A starlit shroud like the dark to you
Laughter echoes in my private room
Kissing fireflies on a beach
How sweet that we can be
Everyone has love to give
Our hearts will teach us how to live
My body wept
I feel so free
The water softly tickles me
My heart is pounding waiting for
The ocean deep enough to lift my veil
Crystal light shine down on us
God has a voice she speaks through me
Every creature longs to be
In his arms please carry me
I am happy in the light of day
My skin glows bright in the sunrays
My shadowed world seems so far away
My angel taught me not to fear
Love is free and everywhere
Listen to that special part
It will save us, it's the heart
God has a voice he speaks through me
God has a voice she speaks through me
Crystal light in every creature
Crystal light in every creature
There was a girl
Who talked to geese
She understood them and they her
One day she looked into a crystal stream and saw in it's bed a diamond
She picked it up and placed it in her hair
She did so
As she did so she turned into a geese
It was then revealed that the other geese she magically had understood
It was just before the moon hung
Her weary heavy head in
The gallows and the graves of
The milky milky cradle
His tears have turned to poppies
A shimmer in the midnight
A flower in the twilight
A flower in the twilight
And our screaming
Is in his screaming
Our screaming in the willow
They took him to the gallows
He fought them all the way though
And when they asked us how we knew his name
We died just before him
Our eyes are in the flowers
Our hands are in the branches
Our voices in the breezes
And our screaming
Is in his screaming
Our screaming in the willow tree
We're waiting by the willow
Our milky milky cradle
Our lockets long have rusted
His picture worn and weathered
Our hair is in the garden
The roses in our toeses
Our heart are in the blossoms
Our eyes are in the branches
And our screaming
Is in his screaming
He draws near the periphery
In disbelief on delivery
Came child from the deep inferno
Crusty head of dead volcano
Heartless crow with brittle beak
Wooden leg too schocked to speak
Lilac dust of a woman's hair
A wooden cross a paper prayer
A stone where her body lay
A stack of feathers a pile of hay
A mushroom for an eye ball
A mustache from the snow fall
Worms weave a ring where fairies square dance
Queens and kings fairies weave wigs with eyelash
Trance music makes the fairies dance
From the caves of snail shells
Echoes the mutter medieval spells
Mystery flows her wicked river
Of thorn and blade and silver sliver
Bending 'round the clover fields
Their sapling stems don't break but yield
Her pain inflicts no arguments
Must learn to sway and un-arrange
As earth she makes her final passage
After humans long have ravaged
Vanished with all maps for motion
Upward angels last devotion
One by one escort us home
To leave the elementals free to roam
To bathe in the last of ocean's foam
To beach comb the nuclear debris
Our plastic toys and our metal trees
On the perfect day you'll find the breeze
Once blew the pollen the feet of bees
Now cry the stars when upon the earth
Their gaze might rest a nostalgic burst
A lament be heard through all the cosmos
I'll always be by your side
Even when you're down and out
I'll always be by your side
Even when you're down and out
I just wanted to be your housewife
All i wanted was to be your housewife
I'll iron your clothes
I'll shine your shoes
I'll make your bed
And cook your food
I'll never cheat
I'll be the best girl you'd ever meet
And for a diamond ring
I'll do these kinds of things
I'll scrub your floor
Never be a bore
I'd tuck you in
I do not snore
I'd wear your black eyes
Bake you apple pies
I won't ask whys
And i try not to cry
I'll always be by your side
Even when you're down and out
I'll always be by your side
Even when you're down and out
And it's nearly midnight
And all i want with my life
Is to be a housewife
Is to be a housewife
'Cause it's nearly midnight
And all i want with my life
Is to die a housewife
Black widow and white wood
The darkness of a forest eerily returns
To stagger drunk like mud
Taking swings at your woman
Run!!!
Why does butterscotch taste so good
And we can't have any
But we must we should
Why does sugar cane taste so good
Even though sugar can only do ya harm
You remind me of baseball
Tow trucks and the movies
Look sweet as to deliver me milk
Almost frozen on those wintry mornings
Don't slip mr. Mail man
Watch out for my dog!!!
Why does kissin' you feel so good
Even though it ain't alowed
I know we shouldn't should
Why does holdin' hands feel so right
Got a bruise on my pinky ring from holdin' too tight
Black diamonds swoon the corner
Make it sparkle
Its all for sale
Pushin' snow on the summer kids
Lewd remarks lowering
Lick the lips mischievous
Lick the lips mischievous
Skittles are the rainbow
And every color's popular though
Red gets the most invitations
To the jr. High celebrations
And i'll go alone i don't care
'Cause rainbow's not my favorite color
I'll go alone i don't care
It's not my favorite color
Why does butterscotch taste so good
And we can't have any
But we must we should
And why does sugar cane taste so good
Even though sugar can only do ya harm
I'll go alone i don't care
It's not my favorite color
Black poppy sleeps a dreamless night
In summer shade of moony light
Hazy veils of clouds loom low
The warm kittens close to the earth
Underground bodies stir with no sound
No one to hear them under the ground
Ghosthorse and stillborns turn in their cradles
Silvery meadow murmurs the song of
Tiny glow worms glowing
Rain starts her shimmery descent
Lead canoes collide inside
Pocahontas came to me in a reverie
War paint and tobacco stains
Piss on the earth
A pile of dead men
A pile of dead dead men
Bare hides and buffalo
Mildew with fever
In a time of wintryness
Naked bronze trembling queen
Stolen from egypt
Buried in england
I met a boy, he wore a seatbelt
He kissed my cheek in the back seat
We played basketball and his girl cousins
Played too in Germaine
I'll be your girl
I'll be your boy
But Victor he was my first man
He didn't have any money
So I paid for his movie
Viva lost childhood
Be my boy forever
And I'll be your girl
I'll be your girl
Out from my window, across from the city
I have what's considered a good view
Two blocks from the subway and three from the fountain
I walk just to break in the new shoes
She stands on the sidewalk, just waving at taxis
Like horses in parades in passing
I asked where she's headed
She told me, "Ohio, I've not seen my mama in ages
It's been a long time, a real long time"
It's been a long time, a real long time
Out from my window:
"How far is Ohio?"
She laughed and pointed out east
She said, "I grew up there with my dear mother
And I haven't seen her since thirteen
You see, I was taken while she lay sleeping
By my father's hired men
We moved to a city so far from my family
I haven't been back there since
It's been a long time, a real long time"
It's been a long time, a real long time
Out from my window, please hear me, Ohio
Your daughter wants to come home
She longs to be with you
To hug you, to kiss you
Do never leave her alone
I've gotten to know her
To live with, to love her
It's hard to see her leave
She belongs to her mother and the state of Ohio
I wish she belonged to me
It's been a long time, a real long time
I'll see you sometime
Yeah, see you some time
See you sometime
I used to be the son or the daughter of
the last name Charlotte
Nows I`m humbug and I`m harlot
Harmless monster with flowers in your hair
By the roadside, in the nighttime
I`m hardly even there
A blowy sudden change of color
It`s your eyes who deceive you
I was an angel, someone`s sweet thing
With flowers in my hair
Round the corner, flash of silver
And it`s alright to recognize me
It`s alright to recognize me
Call out my nameless
It`s alright to recognize me, call out my nameless
It`s alright to recognize me, call out my nameless
It`s alright to recognize me, call out my nameless
It`s alright to recognize me, call out my nameless
Now that I'm alone I feel the lonely brokeness
Of all the wicked avenues I've ever sold my love on
All these moments of meekness and trembling subsided
In the outright abandon of this orphan child.
Home is on the highway living on soft bread and solace,
I guess I'm waiting for nightfall or a solar eclipse
And to wake up half empty
Only to be filled again with mourning
He's my evil shadow dove
My black Palamito
Can't break him like a diamond skull
I can't seem to do so
I Can't just rub him out like the
Mob used to do so
Like memories of porno and tea stains
And tobacco, Oh, it's a mini disastro
Bigger than the ice age don't know if baby dinosaurs
Maybe could live through it, or Indians and butterflies
What's crushed is my spirit, Oh I fear it is too fragile,
Like fall leaves burn like paper...
I always knew I would spend a lot of time alone
No one would understand me,
Maybe I should go and live amongst the animals..
Spend all my time amongst the animals
And on the tracks I would go they lead to the sea
To be amongst the animals...
Oh I'm just a fall leaf something simple and shy lie that,
That's how my heart lies down beside the sidewalk
Like an empty restaurant filled with perfume and balloons,
I sit and entertain the bizarre ghosts of my soul
His name still lingers maybe lactates on my tongue
Perhaps I'm just teething for a foreign fallen destiny
Miserable but mine, I look like his mother
Or Sophia Loren in an old fashioned movie
Slow motion I cling to my child, desperate for love
One day soon my brother died, made me remember all the
Subordinate feelings I cast aside
and maybe I had lied when I said I was ok
Just getting along like a little song that stops to sing and say
"Wild willow, windy winter won't you blow through me
My whole eternity"
Now I always knew that i would spend alot of time alone...
nooone would understand me maybe i should go and live amongst the animals...
spend all my time amongst the animals...
And on the tracks I would go they lead to the sea
To be amongst the animals...
Now I always knew that i would spend alot of time alone...
noone would understand me maybe i should go and live amongst the animals...
spend all my time amongst the animals...
And on the tracks I would go they lead to the sea
Wet is my whistle
Wandering wayward
Trouser is caught in a thorny bramble
Sun soon be slipping
Down spine of the meadow
Swamp candle flower
A watery fellow
The monarch my right hand
Left is the sparrow
Twilight blue my bone and marrow
The river's path is old and narrow
First evening star
To comfort the scarecrow
Pull me up by the roots of my hair
Into the rosy atmosphere
Pull me up by the roots of my hair
Into the rosy atmosphere
Marveling over dead branches
Would you go
If they came
Open arms
Maybe R.I.P. humans
Tears for animals animals animals
And nature
Did you ever feel an alien
What's your blood type
Is it delicate as night
Imagine my father did feel feel feel feel
Feel feel me
I was R.I.P. R.I.P.
Would you go
If they came
Open arms
My love letters
My father did me nature
Nature nature nature
I was one year passed three
Give rise
to the villain
Give rise
to the head of
Deprived
of the protector
And shield
from weather
My sister,
she used to goat's blood
to conceal her ravaged body
But,
I was gifted
with my uncle Freddy's baby
Froze in time
I could hide
Bloated belly,
baby inside
Give rise
to the villain
Give rise
to the head of
Deprived
of the protector
And shield
from weather
What happened
to my life
All this ain't right
I should have taken
it myself
with uncle Freddy's knife
cause the grave is
very suiting
for a bloodless
daughter bride
Give rise
to the villain
Give rise
to the head of
Deprived
of the protector
And shield
