kinetic episode

if you want it, you grab that throat,
lasso tobacco, go
kinetic episode, stiletto toed
echo falsetto til we let go
pick up yr infamous instruments
feel the vividness of dissonance,
frivolous coincidence
the wickedness of little kids
come on
oh if yr comin back again,
could you bring yr friend?
what? was there something that you needed help finding?
i like it when yr fraught w/ perilous thoughts and constant caveats
undercover, get a doctor, someone proper, someone hotter, my final offer
i left a lot said, painted hot red until it clotted
so we can kick it around and we can pick it apart
i thought about it too much
the stage is shrouded in dust
instead of dry ice
oh if yr comin back again
could you bring yr friend?
oh i can't stand the way they got you locked up
in a detroit i can't see

improv heavy

foolishly i tried to sing along to 'oh comely,'
the tears streaming from me
i'm too sick for that
my nose running all over you
my feet pumping from running fom you.
but i'm bigger now
got my balance, i'm humming, what's this about?
i'm a believer, libra.
all things are held equal in this improv heavy sequel
i can't send you out there, beth.
they're gonna eat you alive until you die from it.
they thrive on the kind of bravado you ooze,
no sudden moves.
dowse yr face w/ powder, become one of the crowd
music louder.
if you try to fake it they will notice that,
rip yr heart out and throw it back
a sudden sickening crack, a nasty splattering smack
one clavicle snapped in half the other one still intact
it's either ceasefire or just dessert
it's why, what, whenever for whatever it's worth.
massive rattling cackles that echo
i can't send you out there, beth.
they're gonna eat you alive until you die from it.
they thrive on the kind of bravado you ooze,
no sudden moves.
sessions singer, sing abstract colors of cool,
nobody's fool, so optional
so possible, so popsicle
bucolic all hydraulic automatic

resurrect me and prepare to repair
come ye hateful, i'll already be there
bring mme dust, bring me yr kick and yr snare
double back in case there's somebody there
meet me at about halfway and a half
or somewhere like that i'm not doing the math
under 18 no need for chaperones
picnic plates its an all ages show
and i'm never gonna do it again
bloody fingers grip the tablecloth and pull
just wake me when it's over
make me dress up so avant gardedly
tear me up until yr apart of me
come colossal come at it citywide
coma cursive when we get amplified
turns out turnin out ain't my strong suit
surprised mme finally i'm findin the truth
they keep it hidden down there under they boot
and i'm not kidding, kids, i'll bring it to you
but i'm never gonna do it again
bloody fingers grip the tablecloth and pull
just wake me when it's over
it came to me in the hospital,
the ceiling was so white,
not a crack in sight.
and i was really lookin
the paradise we found had a t-rex
butter me up, i'm a shutterbug, what is what
suddenly i'm just shutting up, raise yr fist
i'm only playin the hits

hot blonded
03:10
|

|
when yr young they seem to care
they lookin atcha
they can remember how it feels
the clappin thunder of the laughter peals
they wanna see the real thing unveiled
just wanna see ya
a map of scattered urges
a pattern that emerges
i saw you diving, hiding behind the palm fronds.
you and yr camera lens,
i ducked behind the fence.
i twisted my ankle in the ivy tangled.
that full moon, right on, was just the half of it
and the meat is so well done
hot blonded in the sun
lined up in rows slowly roasting
blowing perfect smoke rings.
the wavy hair and the slippery sweat.
they come to getcha.
soaked wet, seasiding, sight seeing.
covered in sand heavy breathing
i saw you diving, hiding behind the palm fronds.
you and yr camera lens,
i ducked behind the fence.
i twisted my ankle in the ivy tangled.
that full moon, right on, was just the half of it
i'm gonna take a shower
scrub this chatter right off
goddam that's rite
i check my hair for the largest shard
of the mirror you punched
untold amounts such a bunch
such a bunch

a conjurer in lady clothes
pink slippers and panty hose
lipticked on my tip toes
regal red billowing robes
unique you unisex
ready for the multiplex
finish up there's somebody next
interest that intersects
experimental benefits
elemental emphasis
specimen sent specially
sayin open sesame
oh god,
seventies boots and bell bottoms
will you come out here at all and
if you got friends you should call them
tell them it's a free for all
the tunnel is unmerciful
but it's worth it, so purposeful
it's cursive, curved, surgical
cervical, purple, oh god
no need for special effects
already rated triple X
oh god,
seventies boots and bell bottoms
will you come out here at all and
when we get friends we should call them
we will be all free for all
turn off the radio
the human hum drum

check it out, i'm a man,
ckick you know what that means
look cinematic in jeans
but what's that behind the scenes
can i get a preview?
can i get it removed?
but once that metaphor's extended
3D specs are recommended
hey, lately you look like you feel good
oh, reminds of the first time
listen to the people shoutin
you find my funny face offensive, that's fine.
but this ain't funny business
this ain't some teenage tape mix
this might be phys-ed class
that sweat beaded skin fantastic.
that get-suspended classic.
now what's that smell, i know that
that fire smell so good
it looks like it might taste good too
i tried my own medicine
it's bad as everybody said
lately you look like you feel good
oh feels just like the first time
listen to the people shoutin
oh when i slip and collapse
i know you just had to laugh.
but it hurt twice at once.
fuck you care?
can't take it back now.
say the words that hurt, that make us feel like us

live without
03:22
|

|
paved my way at the same time,
misguided bedside backsliding.
i wait for low tide to take my joyride
cock-eyed. i can't decide
raw hide
as if i could live without you
all it would take is a narrow escape
a flash of lightning
a billowing cape
keep the blood pumping
keep thumping these feet.
something mine, something to keep.
a classic love that i could rise above
as if i could live without you

slaughter me

the girls are singin out in spanish.
brother, listen, they're down here,
encantaria meetcha.
oh i guess i could go out
to be free where the sheep and sharks are.
i could run the whole thing.
separate the men from the mannequins.
i only want one thing
that you've had more than once.
when the real ones find their peace they die young
when the real ones shake it, real ones shake it.
i was diggin for bones
but the real ones take it homme
they wanna take things apart
bones bones bones
can we turn back and attack
cos we can't let them take us.
it went down like an attack,
it went down there.
imagine we don't run away,
cold slaughter
what am i doing all the time
and did i do it?
why did i do it?
why did i do it?
i don't gotta
what did i do with all my time
why did i do it
why did i do it
don't run away cos there's no doubt
give me comedy,
slaughter me.

holy smokes

oh we're in the meanwhile
oh you see yr final winding road
people always seem pissed,
reasons to be, to exist.
repo men in the mmist.
anthony, answer me,
so woe begotten.
i don't know why we're not naked shakin it.
dead as the dentist
you changed the words to make it say "my shoney amour"
oh i hit the floor.
and you know nobody else could hit those high notes.
i kinda don't know anyone else.
only i end up alone.
them's the holy smokes
i need you.
as if that's enough.
i'm overstuffed, i'm over it,
my clothes are wet.
watching the color wheel spinnin-a-nin
