This Show Must Go On |
swallow a diamond grant me asylum making love on the
beach there's rebellion
in your eyes under the cell tower making love on the
beach from the ruins of
the 90s making love on the
beach
started out simple
nuff then here's me here's me then one day over
time then here's me here's me here's me here's me
falling leaves i'll trade this summer's
flesh and bone lightbulbs float
to me static of tv but there is meaning
in the call lightbulbs float
to me i'm so in love... lightbulbs float
to me
04. Cartography by Candlelight doesn't it bug me the way that you
drug me cartography by candlelight counting curves hug
me cartography by candlelight
figured out how to
work it across september
i took it and this time steps away from a
lake hot souls dragged down and this time steps away from a
lake so tonight we're
chasing vices steps away from a
lake
some nights he's
weightless eye on the fuel gauge same old insecurity big hunk of carrot
cake, blueberry milkshake so she flips on the
tv then a dog woke inside
of her (you could be the
one) end of our summer

Moongirl |
you think you're
cool but it's just another distraction moongirl- it's been
a lonely century they say that only
3 have ever seen the likes of your dark side moongirl- it's been
a lonely century and on those harvest
nights moongirl- it's been
a lonely century
02. Taste get a squirtgun taste your lips frolic with bambi
taste your lips and you know it's
just the little things taste your lips
innocence is fleeting
now but with time the vega system beckons
now and with time and i would have
never known and with time
memories that make
me jump the groove it all comes flooding
back through time the only one i ever
wanted i flew a cessna to
cancun today i finally realized the only one i ever
wanted and oh the horror
when you find the only one i ever
wanted
the boy with no hands its all that i can
do here i am the girl with 2 hearts here i am and it's so informative it's so informative here i am here i am
molly molly make
love to me molly molly make
love to me my grandpa worked
just east of the buzy bee molly molly make
love to me oh babe you're the
queen of the damned molly molly make
love to me oh babe you're the
queen of the damned molly molly make
love to me molly molly make
love to me
can you ever sing
a simple song she intimated to me but it's not the
world that's falling for some blokes words
fall like rain through box-kite
windows you can spy and sleep becomes
the only way for some blokes words
fall like rain from the edge I pull
back
we could only get
so far we kept fixing what
kept breaking back in the day we could only get
so far back in the day now I'm the scaredest
of the scared and now in the wee
hours
you were scoundrel
number one but in flames you
already lived nobody goes to hell you were scoundrel
number one well the shell tough
as hell to protect you nobody goes to hell remember the girl
that you dragged down nobody goes to hell
it was absolutely
treacherous i almost got busted darjeeling- it's
not too tough to see through all this
space after the inquisition gabriel was blowing
hard darjeeling- it's
not too tough to see if you want to play
a different game darjeeling- it's
not too tough to see darjeeling- it's
not too tough to see
im dreaming deep
again i'm trying to free
myself if i gushed and told
you everything wonderous normandie
doll stare at you for
an hour and a half if i gushed and told
you everything yellow fog is lifting if i gushed and told
you everything
you put me under you put me under
the gun meet me on Mandlebrot
street you put me under

01.
so fucking hard |
in your maddest of
dashes i could make like
i don’t care in my saddest of
crashes i could make like
i don’t care put an ear to Ponchartrain
you were an elephant
in your last life and i want you home was that you in New
York? you change eleven
times to go bowling and i love you kyrie
snow was that you in LA?
hey baby... where
have you gone? i think you know
what i’m thinking of hey maybe... think
we could settle the score? i think you know
what i’m thinking of i think you know
what i’m dreaming of
it’s brutal
without you wasn’t it a
clue to love it’s brutal
without you wasn’t it a
clue to love were we all’s
a losing hand
you were an elephant
in your last life and i want you home you change eleven
times to go bowling and i love you kyrie

Ashland |
city litter swirls
making the skin of the invisible man if i hit the lights
just right ashland will be green all night she found him dead
in the brush in a puddle of wax if you hit the lights
just right ashland will be green all night
all this energy my robots go wild
love- so sick and
sweet all your nightmares
are totally real light- turning tricks
with heat all your nightmares
are totally real grow crazy little
flower
things happen little
chameleon penned down by a
history whose spine i can't define throwing pictures
out of moving windows but where was i in the crooks of those pivotal times? when young women
ran from rapists with one shoe penned down by a
history whose spine i can't define and i'm pouring over
can't smoke any more
cigarettes traci seems like
nothing's changed you've let neon take
over having sex with space
cadets traci seems like
nothing's changed
so you’ve mastered
the metaphor game like the movies you
swim in your dreams when intelligence
and lust turn to wisdom and love when the white limos
come out to play and if you believe it’s all too good to be true... schizophrenia heights
is a commuter town but until that time
white papers strewn
down hazel avenue the fire dissolves
into mediocre pot everyone loves chelsea a silver spoon with
maple residue the choir resolves
and then jumps in the lake everyone loves chelsea her parents let the
silent supper decide
08.
World's Tallest Building
it was just like
yesterday I remember when we the bucketholders
arrive! it was the springtime
of my purity the bucketholders
arrive! I’ll take you
all the way I’ll take you all the way the bucketholders
arrive!
don't mind the roadkill see back in the day scraps of standard
oil listening to jazz we're just snowangels,
baby city limit signs
doc that hancock
signed this mosaic of chaos every mother knows and we're snowangels,
baby
all this energy my robots go wild all this energy

Here I Am
|
can i have your attention
before here i am- for all
to enjoy if everybody knew
everything here i am- for girls
and boys you are not your
mind.
i used to think i
was immortal for 25 long years
it kept me going round and if you say you
gotta go- well you know i hate it
when you swing that thing around and when you said
you had to go- well
sarah is silent down
on the southside venus is barking
up on the northside all the bitspeed
in the world off in the countryside
i cry about the day
one of us dies but still you laugh
and still you lie clouds roll over
our town sometimes they catch
us dreaming round the holy land is where you stand.
05. Song For Black
Elk
I came because I
had to know a kid so safe, naïve,
and cool spinning dishes and
smashing plates like something old,
something new
there are about a
million ways to talk about the rain all equations breakdown at creation je sais que la route
est solitaire all equations breakdown at creation it's been 6 months
since i crept out past your angel face all equations breakdown at creation
the old car in the
driveway just jumped backwards twice raised in the shadows
of sluts and rebels an ill mind... the
body of a dancer like a butterfly
suture on a timeline and by the waterside
she showed me how to die

Deep Dark Secret |
you know i haven't
seen you for awhile see there are some
things in this world i know your deep
dark secret in my crooked way
i care, i can't lie see there are some
things in this world how do i know? yes there are some
things in this world i know your deep
dark secret
so you want to know
what real love is i ain't cut out to
wear no romeo clothing i can't be your superman so you want to know
what real love is my story's nothin
like a verona love song i can't be your superman
took it years to
grow sometimes i want
to live forever and in the morning gap 'tween me and
who i want to be keeps trenching out sometimes i want
to live forever waitress pours the
coffee my life is a triangle
of love and sex and death and in the morning
we'd watch these flowers fall and in the morning
when we'd watch these flowers fall
last night in a cold
dream i've tasted electra's
red lips i never could say
what she was thinking last night in a cold
dream your back can't bend
from the weight of the world my servant indentured
is easily censored last night in a cold
dream i think she's finding
someone else in me
twenty years ago
today on this day if i could throw
our love up as a star we see the holy in
each other if i could throw
our love up as a star
hey! pretty auburn if you don't need
no one and so our love song
becomes there's someone in
you i've never known this metal lock box-
your coat of arms and so our love song
becomes this track gets ever
old

14 Leaves |
why the fuck do you
do what you do to yourself? you are the decorator
of your dungeon you blame your house,
you blame your job 14 leaves falling
(don't be afraid to live your life right girl) amidst the conversation
she drags her fingers across her wrists you blame your house,
you blame your job 14 leaves falling
the best place to
do it is in a phonebooth by I80s side under shooting stars i count 5 rhymes
in the circling weather over rome sleep means nothing
to me anymore: you are the most vivid dream i count five rhymes
in the machine at the airport on the nile the soft quick london
ring
visions of her sidewinder
perch a picture's worth
a thousand tears of want although i'm just
two feet away i might as well be paging through that magazine i drop my keys and
raise my glass to you if i had a thousand
lives to live outside of shy antiquity and frigid faceless apathy tell me what i need to do to get close to you
on the wings of a
jailbreak 7000 satellites i am, i am a believer
that the holy soul is damned 7000 satellites
where do you go when
the sun's gone away you'll always have me don't say that you
can't hold your face never leaves
my mind for a moment you'll always have me where do you go when
the sun goes away you'll always have me
night fell so softly
what my angel gives night slipped away
to the pull of the progression horns what my angel gives night fell again
so softly on its cue [excerpt from he and she #13:] they sat in the cool night's desert under a curving blanket of stars. that evening they were the only two people in the world. they were alive, alone, apart from culture's pull. fate's generosity snapped them out of politics' shackles and they were free to interact with each other, each other's other and nobody else. this world was built for them. They exchanged words rarely, as they had long been rendered unnecessary- like choosing soda over water. This seemed to be when he loved her- when they were alone. not alone in the house of his father which reeked of his subordination. Not alone in the house of her mother that was never her home, but in the desert miles and miles and miles away from any faint influence. They were alone. And they were loving.
she stood about 5
foot 3 in these ankh earrings something's buried
deep behind these lines do you sing the eternal
song? through the rain
of a thousand nightmares shine these ankh earrings don't look too hard-
don't follow me do you sing the eternal
song? it's been 17 long
years
no these bricks they
were not meant for us no these sheets they
were not meant for us no, i can't see don't you know we
did the right thing no i can't see looking back on floorboards
no these bricks they were not meant for us
you were the heroic
man passion's quest:
self-validation with Ireland under
wing you knew, as you rise the trees
turn to bushes and barns to little children's toys you took off amidst
the cries of fool but this was long
ago as you rose the trees
turned to bushes
it's your choice
to come around from the scraps of
some fantasy it's your choice
to come around in exchange for my
life eternal don't you remember
what i told you behind the guise
of the suburban sky is a kind thing it's your choice
to come around
she's a public vegetarian
you are my 15 year
patchoulie headache diva hits the bullseye her mouth waters
for the swirl of disco in her head she ponders
love, war, sex you are my 15 year
patchoulie headache
girl i love you i'd go to sleep 1000
times i'm not the type
to lie complacent in the framework where is this magic
well from which to draw such power? i'd go to sleep 1000
times
the color of the
walden rain now i try to make
a happily-ever-after film i've mailed you a
chicago ticket
i'd like to break my radio in half (FM is deaf) do you remember when
it's all changed i'd like to break my radio in half (FM is deaf) no need for talent
here it's all changed i'd like to break my radio in half (FM is deaf) it's all changed i'd like to break my radio in half (FM is deaf)
stories spread across
the skies pictures spread across
the sky hey! goodbye cassiopeia they told you it's
a lion galileo's heavens
pictures spread across
the sky hey! goodbye cassiopeia
i used to see her
on the elevator sometimes i'm finally flying now don't speak- language
sometimes lies speak only what you
mean is it such a secret?
and now it's summer
in crash city i'm finally flying now.
i asked her what
to do with all this love just like everything
else on january's last day don't you want to
smash the TV and look out your own eyes i asked her what
to do with all this lust don't you want to
smash the TV and look out your own eyes smash the TV and look out your own eyes...
i got a bitchin'
car first we'll go to
hollywood i got a bitchin'
sub first we'll go to
hollywood
you live just safely
north and as i'm diving
cross this forest let me hold your hand through no true spell
but anger and as i dive across
this forest let me hold your hand little ariadne won't
you come on home
last night i drempt
i married margaret last night i drempt
i married margaret margaret short and
thin looked up at me middle of the night
margaret short and
thin looked up at me last night i drempt
i married margaret but you've got to
marry someone.
very nice why let modesty convince
you from the truth under wet wet song we lie in the meadow
fiction
you left your clothes
here on purpose see there are matters
of the heart naïveté beats sorrow anyday you left your heart
behind on purpose- i know you did see there are matters
of the heart naïveté beats sorrow anyday you left me here
alone on purpose
dreams of children
boast such things the truth it often
stings now her name is roxy,
cause that's what they want did she plan to wake
up naked in strange places? now her name is roxy,
cause that's what they want that's what you get now you're name is
roxy
since when can shadows
cast a light and taming emotions
out of control one man's treasure
is all that he needs and taming emotions
out of control
from the 4 walls
in which i sleep i need you to be
with me one by one the hearts
around us break i need you to be
with me
what more can i say
than i'm sorry oh the lightbulb
starts to swing with the rhythm of my heart- the phone rings what's mine is mine
and i've gotta draw the line somewhere as the mist begins
to fall a door closes down the hall- the rain sings so tell me what ever
happened to believe? what more can i say
than i'm sorry the lightbulb starts
to swing with the rhythm of my heart- the phone rings so tell me what ever
happend to believe
the mountains where
we live sport such steep sides out of all the things
that you can say you've chosen this? hold on to the hands
of time and gently ride the circles where
we live spin so fast hold on to the hands
of time and gently ride
sally's analyst explains
to her there comes a time
when every little boy and girl must wake up to the world the seashell stand
is set up out there on the sunny beach there comes a time
when every little boy and girl must wake up to the world sally cruises down
the bay with fancy boats and cars there comes a time
when every little boy and girl must wake up to the world
hubris eats me alive
shakespeare's moon
is my moon the circle in the
sky that saw the inspirational apparition shakespeare's moon
serves refuge let the wine pour
shakespeare's moon
is my moon
across his austrian
desk the rev of the engine
roar the 6502 and microwave
across the marble
cliffs she danced pen falling, sigmund
wipes his brow and the world came crashing down…
you can paint anybody
insane on a bad day you can make any
poor man pray his whole life away the smallest thing
to you you can kill your
own brothers so what do i say
oh scholarly one the smallest thing
to you
you're an angel in
a little girl you can't carry me now you wear holy in
your devil's world once you take yours off shed your pretense-
like snakeshedskin waters rise and spirits
fall shed inheritence-
like snakeshedskin shed Whitehorse.
so simply something
so simply something
let these pilgrims
dance without a word scribble and scratch
away the hour and fifteen minute game let these pilgrims
dance without a word let these pilgrims
dance without a word
closed are your eyes i can't stand this atmosphere body ever died i can't stand this atmosphere sparkle the engine's
starry eye untangled from the
carnal vine my heart for three
odd years so my eternity: cos i scram this
atmosphere and my friends are
so cool
i let this angel
fuck things up again and as the true sun
climbs in the dark i stumbled
on the ladder orion's dotted waist
marks the pathway to my sandy place Oú est ma
soeur que pouvais vivre sous le grand mer?
curves just like
matisse this drink won't
slick me out of shackle- and lost in semaphor
tonight- are you reading? when the sun is over
tokyo sending semaphor
tonite- here it comes again: through the earthquake...
in the submarine... i just can't live this way anymore and change is too hard
my ankles red from
preterite's chain i don't mind that
you don't talk much half blazing sun-
the lustre dazzles clear seas into the world we
fall down what's a girl to
do when she's faced with half-mast attitude?
four leaves down
the line this world wasn't
built for me but that's life this world wasn't built for me.
