Nightly Youths

Get your tail up you nightly youths
to court the eve, unwed, uncouth
glass will break when I tell the truth
we both know what it’s like to be lied to
you’ve been lied to
let your heart out and find your way to me
we’ll dip our tails into the cold dark of the eve
glass will break in an empty room
we both know what It’s like to be lied to
What she wrote was rot, she could not write it right
she was relied upon, you’ve been lied to

I`m proud to watch you when you`re at your best
Calm, cool incarnate, statuesque
all my friends love you and wish you well
you`re wise but unrefined, enviable
Tail to feline, marrow to bone
depth to your breath
your words to my soul
You`re bold faced lies, obsession at large
breath left prose on bathroom mirrors
foul weather fare
Moral at outset from boot to chest
published paintings of the old west
or desert grotto all silent and clear
opulent, crimson, sunken mirrors
Tail to feline, feather to wing
blood in my heart
to hear you sing
your bold faced lies, my obsession at large
your breath left the sweetest prose on my mirror

Raise your hand for sugar in your tea
raise your hand for luxury
raise your hand come orders from above
the things I’d do for love!
Little girls should be seen and not heard
blank pages bear no dirty words
I cross my legs when the telephone rings
he’s easy to please he wants my everything
Raise your hand for sugar in your tea
raise your hand for validity
raise your hand come orders from above
the things I’d do for your love!
you lead me home with my eyes closed
a perfect portrait this submissive pose
your lips unmoved say what mine cannot say
tally up the strange bruises when we wake
pages and pages
lips and lists
don’t dare to tell me that it does not exist

Guns

I find it hard to come back to this place when lives won’t change
its so strange to draw lines in the sand
with our guns in our hands
and our hearts on the bend
my dearest friend, lapin
Its so hard to end up at this place but lives would not change
now comes the time to draw lines in the sand
drop our guns from our hands
have the faith to understand
it’s a means with many ends
Its so hard not to see your face but lives must change
it was so hard to lay down at her side
with your heart on my mind
and your form not far behind
oh how I yearn to be alive

She wants a young man to be her slave and I say “that’s not me”
but if she sedates me and ties me up when I am sleeping
maybe that will free me
So hot and hard, her will unyielding
mere mention of her name is chilling
and all the pleasures of the evening
can be measured in these patterns
But you were no help
Put that book back on the shelf

Electrocute Me

Something’s lead to something others lead to nil
put things in my body for to get my thrills
solid earth below me, head in the sky
I apologize but I want to die
the world keeps turning,
wheels keep spinning
blah blah blah etcetera
I cross my legs
uncross my legs
and cross my legs
It wasn’t meant to be wouldn’t you agree?
born guilty
Something’s lead to something others lead to nil
put things in my body for to get my thrills
solid earth below me, head in the sky
nothing in my sight and I want to die
nothing’s fitting
this book’s been written
wrists meant for slittin’
I’m kidding kitten
I cross my heart
uncross my heart
double cross my heart

The Open Air

I would have told you all my secrets and more
but there is nothing left of you to explore
maybe if you broke my jaw
it would give me something to talk about
its oh so clear
that im holding hands
with the open air
this glass of water, refracting light
you in my vision, invade my sight
and of the objects you left on my floor
theres nothing nothing there to explore
