Uneven Still

so you're lying good as dead
but still not sleeping
at some point you never will
tell me how's that wolf tit taste?
since that's all you're eating
you're wild and uneven still
even still
unfazed by the silence
like a flash of t.v. violence alone
and out of context
good as ghosts there on your tongue
searching for secret ingredients
though they already had their fill
knuckles-to-forehead once again
for the same old reason
flowers don't grow on your windowsill
even still
unfazed by the silence
like a flash of t.v. violence
oh you've got to be kidding yourself
so you're lying good as dead
but still not sleeping
at this point you never will
what new fiends will rise to make my bed?
and leave me longing
like a kid for a fire drill
even still

I Forgot Myself

the city soft-lit like a kiss in a movie
the violins swell till they pass right through me
that old matte backdrop somehow still fools me
I was happy I forgot myself
lily shapes on liquid display
your mind eats your meat and it likes it that way
tracing the words that you'd never say
I's so happy I forgot myself
breathing fog upon my window
the way old painters painted halos
I can't help but to put on the past
the soft power of voices like windshield glass
the mystery's always so matter-of-fact
I's so happy I forgot myself
wake up to the ghost-grey song of bulldozers
the back-up beep sounding over and over

Flowers For Your Baby

tired traditions, one night stands
all limbs, no love
I hope they miss us, those blood-red kisses from above
don't they look you in the eyes at all
when green figs start to fall?
you can tell that she's in need
that's her standing in her widow's weeds!
wolf-whistle in the pale moonlight
you gotta sweep 'em off their feet
you won't see the shadow but the teeth might catch the light
blues skies to bye and bye there'll be flowers for you baby tonight
news anchors' pornographic sheen
watch, here it comes
hungry ghosts with narrow throats swallow silver tongues
I hope I won't be there to see
god shed his skin on thee
look! it's coming in with clouds
and little words spoke right out loud
me, I just wanna dance with somebody
they don't even gotta love me now
you won't see the shadow but the teeth might catch the light
blues skies to bye and bye there'll be flowers for your baby tonight
"dance with me, I want my arms about you"
you can tell that she's in need
that's her standing in her widow's weeds!
wolf-whistle in the pale moonlight
you gotta sweep 'em off their feet
you won't see the shadow but the teeth might catch the light
blues skies to bye and bye there'll be flowers for you baby tonight

Blows It All Away

Adam's lonely ribcage put pains inside his head
force me to use my logic and I know I'm almost dead
and the man who kissed his myths don't know what he's missing
plus, most folks don't have myths that are much worth kissing
miniature spies with compound eyes flirting with eternity
this crippling city's gonna turn you magic for a nominal little fee
when I'm old I'll find some reasons to be upset
I'm still teething so I ain't got fangs quite yet
watch someone else's love just blooming like a cubist rose
feel your muscles ache as you take that hero's pose
damned like I am an ugly man with praying hands
how can you tell when you've made a fan of the cannibals who shake your hand? and
I won't let them in
my heart, it longs for little portions
like the devil on christmas day
alone and so ashamed
I don't care what you do or say
the wind just blows it all away
just blows it all away

I Remember

I remember all the hours spent in Sunday school
why so early on the weekend?
I remember picking flowers walking home from school
It's always fun to pretend
now I'm pacing 'round the room on a second wind
cursing like a kid
