Water and a Seat

How far you go and what you say
will never keep the tides away
[The sea(sink/sake/sank?) or the wind or the fog(fall?)
(and savor the way/weight that we fought?)] {I really have no clue about
this part]
Cut a window
through a wall
hello
hello
hello hello?
hello? (hello hello hello)

If madness comes so much the better touche
If madness comes so much the better touche

A wicked week
and logic creed(creek)
I need water and a seat
[The sea(sink/sake/sank?) or the wind or the fog(fall?)
(and savor the way/weight that we fought?)]
A cup of snow
a snowflake kid
he is coming off the grid

Madness comes so much the better to sha--
If madness comes so much the better to sha--

Explosive path
I cannot dodge your draft
because the air is like
perfume from vikings

Hanging with
the brown rice clique
Tennyson and politics

(You gotta hesitate from the man at jack fruit barbe jacks and jill
barbeque???)

{good luck!}
([voice in the studio PA system?: Right here, this where its all gonna its
gonna

happen right here, right?)
(random screaming and whooooa-ing)

Madness comes so much the better to sha--
If madness comes so much the better to sha--

Grass grows warped
shade (shape?) of the county court
I know you want that spawn just to your liking


Ramp of Death

Before we were on our way
Up the ramp of death
I could say that you moved me
in many rich directions, good and bad
a mall on a weekday
the null experience
piece it together
it showers you with oceans of the past

and there's no time to breathe
get back
and start avoiding me
or stop avoiding me

if you're minus please listen
don't abuse the trust
take all of your engines
and concentrate on giving good advice
the scars on the raindrops
the presence in the pores
of a grapefruit rind
will cause you to regress
and fall into a rhythm you can't hack

until it's time to leave
get back
and start avoiding me

in a flash
there is no time to be
get back
and stop avoiding me
or start avoiding me


Do Not Feed the Oysters [ver tradução]

Crimson alligator blinded by the surf
came here only yesterday from the worst place on this Earth
but in this evil everglades
you'll find no peace of mind
watch out for the marsh hawk
he'll rip off your behind

Do not feed the oyster
under a cloud
he'll suck you like a seagull into the so-ou-ou-ou-ou-ound
under a cloud
do not feed the oysters
under the grou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ound
under the grou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ound
underground

I hope you got there early and I hope you brought your date
I hope she travelled chicago, second class not freight
(A-)wedding bells and christmas hell to that life you did aspire
no more time to fight about the tension in the choir

Do not feed the oysters
under the clouds
they'll suck you like a seagull into the so-ou-ou-ou-ou-ound
do not feed the oysters
under the grou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ound
under the grou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ound
under the grou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ound

under the grou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ound
under the grou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ound
underground


Vanessa from Queens

There's aggression in the air this morning
got your ballerina tights around my head
in a samurai pose on the bed
Vanessa from queens

And the water drippin' from the faucet
is like mardi gras on the 12th of June
why don't you let me let me let me love you
Vanessa from Queens

I got the right to fly
I'm gonna show you the time of your life
I got the rights to fly

So give it up right there now
give it up right there now

what about me?

Well the avenue is in a panic
Bob Packwood wants to suck your toes
such a lovely lovely lovely way to go
vanessa from gression, that's right

do your duty, work that body
keep the elements off with a smile
and never have to work another day
Vanessa from queens

I got the right to fly
I'm gonna show you the time of your life
I got the right to fly

So give it up right there now
give it up right there now



Sheets

to get to transyldelphia
a miner must go
through oh so many foul hoops
and i want you to know
i got a fingerful
of catatatonic drool
the way you cast the shape
stutters me from head to toe

i takes all night to get off you
i takes all night to get off you
i takes all night to get off you

you are daffy just like your encomium (?)
who has been banished to the deep channels of my tv
cause you're not funny, man
you're fuckin' funny, lamb
live a lie live a lie live a lie

i takes all night to get off you
i takes all night to get off you
i takes all night to get off you

i interrogated you for hours on end
and though your story is tight i got to hear it again
your daddy's portuguese
well jesus c p
read about it
read about it
read about it
read about it
read about ittttt

i takes all night to get off you
i takes all night to get off you
i takes all night to get off you


Animal Midnight


sacrifice for you is just flirtation
and friendship a cold convenience
i wonder sometimes what you're made of
is it rayon or is it dust?

how you calibrate your intuition
such that it just feeds the kill
and every single night i try to make you come alive
you shove it right back in my face

you
you don't see me
because you
you won't change
you
you don't see me
because you
you won't change

with your big old russian brain
to keep you ahead of the stoplights

you to me is like carbon dioxide
you know i won't be your frozen rose
why don't you just let me get up, yeah
before you do the ratty ratty ratty ruff?

reach reach...
bleach bleach...
sneech sneech...(?)

where will we fall
where will we fall
where will we fall
before the darkness hits

animal midnight
a shit for a brain
crawl up a leech line
shocking me (?) in the yellow and blue
is it piss?
is it sky?
is it why we try?

you
you don't see me
because you
you won't change
you
you don't see me
because you
you won't change



Dark Wave

you fed his bod
a metal rod
determined to
a fuselage
you took a ride on a new highway
and did a waltz on his jelly legs

arisin' risin'
(?) in your pictures is american icon
flies in flies in
running to the riches of your terrible shell

and dayglo kid with your on top

you fantasize
a decoupage
a two-horse carriage garage
you take the reigns down the new highway
a culvert down to the ducks and drakes



Witch Mountain Bridge

in better times
a spell could save you
the wine that we threw into a chasm
came right back to you

now it's all so straight and narrow
and the skeptics rule the nation
the servants scream
"always wear black"

the stupid sin
pneumatic witch caves
give you astute impression
of the realms of the magic arts

yes, it's all over your head
so enjoy the dim vacation
a sermon reads
"never wear black"

there is no now
you can tape that to your deviled brow
time came before the end my lord
explain your cattle call
what we need is a soft second serve
of your fine approximations

shepherd read
always wear black



Craw Song

martha wants jackie
jackie wants william
but william wants leroy
but leroy is straight

he couldn't commit to
the mental jujitsu
of switchin' his hittin'
from ladies to men

check it out
i rub so well
the marrows draw you out
i kiss and tell
and make life hell
you know what it's about here
it's into the gold mirror

william was shattered
not that it mattered
message to jackie
i'll see ya at eight
he cooked her a dinner
and boy it's a winner
it's better than chocolate
and pink champagne
they want
to stay
confined within the fortress of this day
stick that in your craw

check me out i love so well
the marrow draws you out
we kiss and tell
and make life hell
you know what it's about
the memory's fine
a heart is like wine
a lover that is so sublime
memory's fine
a heart is like red wine
a lover that is so sublime here

everybody, every oh...



1% of One

? a man
From Netherlands
He knew not what band he mixed
It sounded a bit like the zephyr
And a bit like the jicks

He craned his neck
Over the desk
Waiting for something to write (rhyme?)
And you weren’t there to feed him
Ere the second that moment arrived

The band became a picture-frame
Surrounding the vision he dreamt

The walls were walking round in squares
Dividing the room as they will

And then my friend
The story ends
Short tho I know it may be
The band switched into a tune
And the halls were walking tall

1% of one is 1% of one is…


Us

I wish we could get our act together
Make some sense of present tense, alright
Take our time with what we find and feel it
Don’t you know there’s some place else that we can go
A billion trees to climb

I don’t really know yr taste in ceilings
I don’t know the ? you rev
But for now I think I’ll keep on reelin
This adventure needs a little game my friend
May it never, never (end?)

We’re locked in
To talkin
A lariat knot to a Cree
A walk in
The cotton
A rebel attempt at a ski
We’re locked in
To talkin
I’d rather you’d not than agree
To walk in
The cotton
A rebel attempt at the ski

On Gypsum Flats you can’t do that…

Speakin through the ferns in Alleghany
Chatting up a panda in a bar
I love wearing slippers when it’s raining
This attraction bleeds into a thirst
Like it always does
