BLISS

Father I killed my monkey
I let it out
to taste the sweet of spring
wonder if I will wander out
test my tether to
see if I'm still free
from you

steady as it comes
right down
to you
I've said it all
so maybe we're a Bliss
of another kind

lately, I'm in to circutry
what it means to be
made of you but not enough of you
and I wonder if
you can bilocate is that what I taste
your supernova juice
you know it's true I'm part of you

steady as it comes
right down to you
I've said it all
so maybe you're a 4 horse engine
with a power drive
a hot kachina who wants into mine
take it with your terracide
we're a Bliss
of another kind

JUAREZ

Dropped off the edge again down in Juarez
"Don't even bat an eye
If the eagle cries" the rasta man says,
Just cause the desert likes
Young girls flesh and

No angel came.

I don't think you even know
What you think you just said
So go on spill your seed
Shake your gun to the rasta man's head
And the desert - she must be blessed and

No angel came.

There's a time to keep it up
A time to keep it in
The Indian is told
The cowboy is his friend
. You know that I can breathe
Even when I cheat
Should.
Should've been over for me.

No angel came.

CONCERTINA

Clouds descending
I'm not policing what you think and dream
I run into your thought from across the room
Just another trick
Can I weather this

I've got a fever above my waist
You got a squeeze box on your knee
I know the truth is in between
The 1st and the 40th drink

CHORUS
Concertina, Concertina
A chill that bends
This I swear,
You're the fiercest calm I've been in
Concertina, Concertina
Try infrared
This I swear,
You're the fiercest calm I've been in.

The soul-quake happened here in a glass world
Particle by Particle she slowly changes
She likes hanging chinese paper cuts
Just another fix
Can I weather this

I got my fuzz all tipped to play
I got a dub on your landscape
Then there's your policy of trancing
The sauce without the blame.

CHORUS

Too far, too far
It could all get away
Too cheerful.

I've got a fever above my waist
You got a squeeze box on your knee
I know the truth lies in between
The 1st and the 40th drink

CHORUS

Clouds descending.

GLORY OF THE 80'S

I took a taxi from LA to Venus
In 1985 I was electromagnetically sucked
Back into a party going on that night
It was the glory of the 80's
With karma drawn up in lines
And two bugle boy models saying
"Baby, it's a freebee you sure look deprived"
I had the Story of O in my bucket seat
Of my wanna be Mustang.
Auditioning for reptiles in their
Raquel Welsh campaign.
In the glories of the 80's
You said
"I'm not afraid to die."
I said I don't find that remotely funny
Even on this space cake high.

And then when it all seemed clear
Just then you go and disappear.

Silicone party barbies to the left and
Joan of Arcs to the right
No one feeling insecure we were
All gorge and famous in our last lives.
In the glories of the 80's you said
"The end is nothing to fear"
I said - Blow the end - now baby
Who do I gotta shag to get outta here.

And then when it all seemed clear
Just then you go and disappear.

Sure you're out there orbiting around.
Wish I had you back now.

I met a drag king called Venus
She had a velvet hologram. She said
"My husband ran off with my shaman
But they love me as I am"
In the glories of the 80's
I may not have to die
I'll clone myself like that blond chick
That sings Bette Davis Eyes

And then when it all seemed clear
Just then you go and disappear.

LUST

Hey you
Gender nectar
Sifting through the grain of gold
Tripping at your door
Is that you,
Alpha in her blood.
And when the woman lies,
You don't believe her.

Rolling and unrolling
Coiling emerging
Running free
Running through the underworld
Into your room.

Is he real or a ghost-lie
She feels she isn't heard.
And the veil tears and rages
Till her voices are remembered
And his secrets can be told.

Hey you
Gender Nectar.
Crystalline from the vine.
You know you'll drink her.

Rolling and unrolling
Coiling emerging
Running free
Running through the afterworld
Into your room.

So she prays for a prankster
And lust in the marriage bed
And he waits till she can give
And he waits and he waits.

SUEDE

Suede, you always felt like suede.
There are days I feel your twin.
Peekaboo.
Hinding underneath your skin.
Jets.
Are revving yes revving from a
Central source and this.
Has power over me.
Not because you feel something
Or don't feel something for me,
But because. mass. so big. It can
Swallow swallow her whole star intact.

Call me "evil",
Call me "tide is on your side".
Anything that you want.
Anybody knows you can conjure
Anything by the dark of the moon.
Boy. And if you keep your silence
Silencer on you'll talk yourself
Right into a job. Out of a hole.
Into my bayou.

I'm sure that you've been briefed
My absorption lines, they are frayed.
And I fear. My fear is greater than my faith
But I walk the missionary Way.

You always felt like Suede.
There are days I am your twin.
Peekaboo.
Hiding underneath your skin.
Jets.
Are revving yes revving from an
ether twist.

Call me "evil".
Call me "tide is on your side".
Anything that you want.
Anybody knows you can conjure
Anything by the dark of the moon.
Boy. And if you keep your silence
Silencer on you'll talk yourself
Right into a job. Out of a hole.
Into my bayou.

Oh little sister, I hope you didn't feel that way and
Oh little sister, I'm still glad you came and...
Little sister. I guess I'd do the same.
Little sister. You'll forgive me one day.

JOSEPHINE

Not tonight Josephine.

In an army's strength therein lies the denouement.
From here you're haunting me.
By the Seine so beatiful, only not to be of use - impossible.

So strange, Vicotry - 1,200 Spires,
The only sound, Moscow burning.
Empty like the Tuileries.
Like a dream Vienna seems,
Only not to be of use - impossible.

In the last extremity - to advance or not to advance -
I hear you laughing.

Even still you're calling me.
"Not tonight, not tonight, not tonight"
Josephine.

RIOT POOF

You know what you know so
You go break the terror of the urban spell
This alliance you say
"I'm on the threshold of greatness girl"
So you burn your pagoda
Through the congo
Till there's a broken bond
On the birth of the search
White trash my native son.

It will all find its way in time.

Blossom, Riot Poof.

You know what you know so you go
Chain her to your flow
She bites through your dried lean meat
As she's going to the movie show
In a bath of glitter and tiny shiver
She crawls through your java sea
Black Sahara
I'm stepping in to your space oddity

It will all find its way in time

Blossom, riot poof.

The sun is warning my man is moistening
(On the bomb)
(On the bond)
On the bomb.

SPRING HAZE

well I know it's just a spring haze
but I don't much like the look of it
and if omens are a godsend like men
breezing in certain these clouds go somewhere
billowing out to somewhere
in a single engine cessna
you say we'll never make it there
so all we do is circle it

CHORUS
uh-oh let go. off on my way
unseen this eternal wanting
let go way to go
so I get creamed waiting on Sunday to drown
waiting on Sunday to drown

and I know it's just a spring haze
but I don't much like the look of it
but all we do is circle it
and I found out where my edge is
and it bleeds into where you resist
and my only way out is to go
so far in billowing
out to somewhere
billowing out luna riviera
CHORUS

why does it always end up like this
CHORUS

Waiting on Sunday, waiting on Sunday to land
Uh-oh way to go so I get creamed
Waiting on Sunday to drown

1,000 OCEANS (a thousand oceans)

These tears I've cried. I've cried 1,000 oceans
and if it seems I'm. floating. in the darkness
well, I can't believe that I would keep. keep you from flying.
and I would cry 1000 more if that's what it takes
sail you home. sail you home.

I'm aware what the rules are. but you know that I
will run. you know that I will follow you.
over silbury hill through the solar field. you know that I will follow you

and if I find you. will you. still remember
playing at trains. or does this little blue ball
just fade away. over silbury hill through the solar field.
you know that I will follow you.
I'm aware what the rules are but you know that I
will run. you know that I will follow you.

these tears I've cried. I've cried. 1000 oceans
and if it seems I'm. floating. in the darkness
well, I can't believe that I would keep. keep you from flying.
so I will cry 1000 more if that's what it takes
to sail you home.
sail you home. sail. sail you home.

MAYBE IT'S TIME TO WAVE GOODBYE NOW....
