I was a lover before this war
Held up in a luxury suite
Behind a well barricaded door
Now that I've cleaned up, gone Legit
I can see clearly
Round hole round hole square peg don't fit

I'm locked in my bedroom
So send back the clowns
My clone wears a brown shirt
And I seduce him when there's no one around

Mano y mano
On a bed of nails
Bring it on like a storm
'Til I knock the wind out of his sails

And we don't make eye contact
When we have run-ins in town
Just a barely polite nod
And look at stairs towards the ground

I once joined a peace class
Plastic innards
Slow dance with commas
Like a land of the words

And we like to party
And we kept it live
And we have (unclear)
Keep a handle on all this jive

Oh we unbridled, lets talk to kill the time
how many scars did you cycle through
Before you were mine
And it's been a while since we went wild and that's been fine
But we've been sleepwalking through this trial
And it's really a crime

It's really criminal

You walked around
Thought yourself beautiful
Just too bad they stare, just too bad they stare

Broke up your crowd
Called you unusable
See how well you fare

Stroll underground
To keep your heart around
Banished from above, banished from above

Forgot yourself, your home, and shot your health
Left it all for love

I know there is delerious quips
Assured of friends wishing them well

you listen for the truth
Just too bad they lie, just too bad they lie
Oh, come around in for a future youth
Someone from the sky

Ooh, ooh

I know I'm a man, I know I'm a man
I know I'm a man, I know I'm a man
I know I'm a man, I know I'm a man
I know I'm a man, I know I'm a man


Refuse these
Unusual fools
Leave them to rule in hollow woods hell
Know what to do
now listen to the truth
Cradle in a cry, cradle in a cry
Your life will shine, while others
Keep your head on high, keep your head on high

When you walk around, know you are beautiful
broken and defined
When you walk around, know you are future youth
Summon to the sky

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Suddenly, all your history's ablaze
Try to breathe as the world disintegrates
Just like autumn leaves, we're in for change
Holding tenderly to what remains

And all your memories are as precious as gold
And all the honey and the fire which you stole
Have you running through all your red-cheeked days
Shaking loose these souls from their sacred hiding space

Hold your heart courageously
As we walk into this dark place
Stand steadfast erect and see
That love is the province of the brave

Pushed under this expanse of bursting stars
Let this burning brightly illumintate the where we are
In this hollow that lovers' voices occupy
Let it follow that we let it free, let it fly

Breaking open the walls of this cage
Intoxicated, oh so amazed
Much like falcons tumbling from the heights at play
Conjoined, talons engaged

Hold these hearts courageously
As we walk into this dark place
Stand steadfast beside me and see
That love is the province of the brave

Playhouses
Swept away by the river now
Confounded
Sound it out now

Vodka cran in your hand and whose litte girl are you now?
Oh I'd ask for this dance but I know you'd play like you don't know how
What your coy smile exposes
A recent memory of when we shit our bed of roses

And I know the moon above is shining down
But not for our love
So for who?
So for who?

Beneath the cigarettes and sugar shit of alcohol breath
I can taste the ocean of your tongue
Remember when we sat on the sidewalk of your old block
Against the wall under the stars
Talking about love's meaning
Well, I wasn't dreaming

I meant every word
Just didn't know your demons
Do you know mine, babe?
Are we wasting time, babe?

Playhouses
Haunted by
Broken spirits
Just trying to get high

Well we chose this course but the weather changed
And the river froze
And when it thawed it was running
Backwards and dry now
I suppose it's appropriate to cry now

Over wasted time
And naked lies
Still get wasted sometimes

Say say my playmate
Won't you lay your hands on me
Mirror my malady
Transfer my tragedy

Got a curse I cannot lift
Shines when the sunset shifts
When the moon is round and full
Gotta bust that box gotta gut that fool

My mind's aflame
We could jet in a stolen car
But I bet we wouldn't get too far
Before the transformation takes
And blood lust tanks and crave gets slaked

My mind has changed
My body's frame, but God I like it
My heart's aflame
My body's strained but God I like it

My mind has changed
My body's frame, but God I like it
My heart's aflame
My body's strained but God I like it

Charge me your day rate
I'll turn you out in kind
When the moon is round and full
Gonna teach you tricks that'll blow your Mongrel mind

Baby doll I recognize
You're a hideous thing inside
If ever there were a lucky kind it's
You you you you

I know its strange, another way to get to know you
You'll never know unless we go, so let me show you
I know its strange, another way to get to know you
We've got to move, here comes the moon
So let it show you, show you now

Dream me, oh dreamer
Down to the floor
Open my hands and let them
Weave onto yours

Feel me, completer
Down to my core
Open my heart and let it
Bleed onto yours

Feeding on fever
Down all fours
Show you what all the
Howlin's for

Hey hey my playmate
Let me lay waste to thee
Burned down their hanging trees
It's hot (here) hot (here) hot (here) hot (here)

Got a curse we cannot lift (We're howling forever)
Shines when the sunshine shifts (We're howling forever)
There's a cure comes with a kiss
The bite that binds the gift that gives (We're howling forever)

Now that we got gone for good
Writhing under your riding hood (We're howling forever)
Tell your gra'ma and your mama too
It's true true true true

(We're howling forever, oh oh)
(We're howling forever, oh oh)
(We're howling forever, oh oh)
(We're howling forever, oh oh)
(We're howling forever, oh oh)

Eyes wide mine, suddenly everything
Flies by fine, mind goes on holiday
In its stead, clicking along the curb
Clucking tongues, how could they have the nerve?

There is hardly a method you know
There is hardly a method you know

It's a broken poem, started up yesterday
And it came true now, mind was on holiday
It's an open road will we soon see the end
It's an open book, a story to tell the band

There is hardly a method you know
There is hardly a method you know
There is hardly a method you know
There is hardly a method you know

I'm a storm faced cloud, hanging in dystrophy
I'm a cold, base clown laughing at enemies
It's a rough wild world, could you please chaperone?
It's a mind field trip, oh leave it the fuck alone

This is hardly a method you know
This is hardly a method you know

There's a purple pain strangling yesterday
There's a purple stain spattered on interstates
It's an awkward stage grasping at anything
'Cause it's lost the page, can't find a word to say

But they want you to
Oh, they want you to
Yes, they want you, too
Oh, they want you, too

Broken plates on dirty highways
Pave the way for alien grace
There is hardly a method you know

Broken plates on dirty highways
Pave the way for alien grace
There is hardly a method you know

Beg the bee's forgiveness as it's falling from your sleeve
Watch its guts pump poison into sting
Watch it reach completeness, see it fall asleep
Legs above fold in eternal dream

Oh that calls to mind a joke, an off coloring
About these fools blindfolded, drugged, and raped and left laughing
They let the devil in, he brought his pirate friends
They brought a hunger for blood, and flesh and bone and skin

So teeth left chattering, and tongues flexed to sing
Got dressed up in so many fancy things

Is it a waste of time, please tell me if you mind
Me dipping into useless sentimentality
A rant on how things used to be when this shit was free
I answered my own question, I can hear the crickets yawning

But in the back pocket of a discarded pair of jeans
Is still a priceless ticket to the grandest opening
So when the chariot arrives, you'd best enjoy the ride
Cause when we get to heaven's gate, we're not getting inside

Better beg forgiveness
Better drop to knees
Better find your ticket
Before we join the bees

Oh there is a murderess amongst us
Her love is a violent spiral
Hurling in upon us, conjured up
At the birth of the world

Durga is a dancer
Mindless questions find no answers
Slicing through the ether
Yeah she's gleaming like mother of pearl

Dirty little whirlwind
Commander, controller I found you
Dirty little whirlwind
I am pinned by the heat of your swirl

Dirty little whirlwind
Defender, destroyer I found you
Dirty little whirlwind
Tangled up in the flesh of a girl

Oh, you could curl me beside you
The spark in your eyes belies the Apocalypse inside you
Twisting the pits from the particle
Skull can't save face

So shake the shame from it
Burn me up inside you
Let me churn in your furnace of whirl

Dirty little whirlwind
Commander, controller I found you
Dirty little whirlwind
I am pinned by the heat of your swirl

Dirty little whirlwind
Defender, destroyer I found you
Dirty little whirlwind
All caught up in the flesh of a girl

All that I ever wanted to be was destroyed at sea
Hurricane rescued me salvaged calamity
All that I ever wanted to be was destroyed at sea
Hurricane rescued me salvaged calamity

Do not delay
We stood in place for it
Turn me up inside you
Up and into the heart of your world

From the depths I called you, Ma
For your breath and breast so warm and fabled
Your hands reached inside
Grabbed my heart, enlarged, disabled

Hailed for your mercy
An ear that cares
How the blues sound from up there?

With my wet hair, I wipe the blood off of your feet
Carry me through these shark infested waters
Well, you spared me from slaughter for sure
But these sharks are equally in need of a martyr

Oh, kindness shared
Undeserved purest gift, this life you've spared
How the blues sound from up there?

Teeth gnashing, masticating this dumb tongue
Quiet now, quiet now, hear that supplication
Echo into the void
Been received by no one

Oh, my sweet dear
Cold alone poisoning ourselves
Engulfed in our own tears

Signed, blues from down here.

Pull the pin, drop it in, let it wash away your
Time for your favorite story
Of how to achieve golden glory
Wash yourself all squeaky clean
All in white on Hallow's eve

Lessen your desire
Hold your breath so patiently
Never inquire how to be free
Just stay on your knees

You might doubt it
Think there's nothing left for me
To do but stomp my feet
And shout about it

From the depths I called you

Now I'm waiting for an answer patiently
Stuck here in the bottom of this well
It's not the last you've heard from me

My mind is like an orchard
Clustered in frozen portraits
Blossoms that bloom so fine, just to drop from the vine
I've seen them all tonight

Who'd keep a silent orchard
I'll shove it all to the floor boards
Her rusty heart starts to whine in its telltale time so
For freedom tonight

Life is a measly portion
A light on good friends and fortune
It strips you away inside, drawn all your blinds
Conceal it all from sight

You took that final courter
Shot the boy, no quarter
We'll skip to the final line of some suicide note well publicized
Or give it up tonight

Carry with bursting order
To the options you've layed before you
The needle, the dirty spoon, the flames and the fumes
Just throw them out tonight

The time that you've been afforded
May go unsolved, unrewarded
Some nameless you cannot know may be coming to show you
Unbridled love and light

Should you grow an orchard?
Covered in dusty portraits
Blossoms that bloom so fine, just to drop from the vine
I'll listen up tonight

Don?t keep it silent orchard
Shove it all to the floorboards
Your rusty heart will be fine, in its telltale time
So give it up tonight

everyone makes the same wave
at the same time
(like pebbles on water)
and we call all those interrupting lines
(sons and daughters)
a community
so lets join hands in song
blessed unity

but brother, i don't wanna know you
i don't even wanna know you
and sister, i don't wanna know you
i don't even wanna know you

but we're trapped
in this lovely mess
i hold you close and smile
fake, like they do way out west

so many medicines
for so many heads
and i'd help you clean the skeletons
from under your bed but

i don't even know you
how could it be me that sends you?
darling, didn't your mama
tell you not to let no stranger bend you?
probably someone here that could
help to mend you
but it's not me
got my own anxiety

sadness isn't any way to explain
you'll probably crash heads throughout
(i know you're crying tonight,)
the force of this place
(no end in sight)

it's as simple as the way
you wear your untied shoes(?)
and your righteous brades (????)
but all i know is your blues
ain't like my blues
and why would they be?
if there's one commonality
it's that that feeling is mutual
given time, you'll see
you'll see

Prettiest one I know
stole away all to show
you are so easy to love
You are so hard to let go
Prettiest world I know
Loviest one I know
You were the first to come
We were the last to go
Prettiest world I know
You were so hard to let go
You were the dream of my heart
We were the last ones to know
We were the last ones to know (x2)
