Night Driving 

Oxidized metal fills my soul 
My cracker jack suicide is in your bowl 
Night driving could fill this hole 
But I don’t have a license, and I don’t have a goal 
You kiss me like I was dead 
You know my future’s in your head 
I gotta get away is all she said 
My body is wasted, and my mind is filled with lead 
All I need to know is that you’ll be back 
All I do is live out of this sack 
A future and a life is what I lack 
If I keep this up I’m gonna crack 
I fell like pulling out my heart 
It’s what I should have done straight from the start 
I don’t believe we will be apart 
I don’t wanna live my life through my art 
Pull out another Marlborough light 
Night driving, nothing’s in sight 
I know I’ll never be all right 
Every day of my life I have to fight 
And my sticks are always in threes 
I won’t find my way to the tree 
I spit on the people I try to please 
Nothing’s gonna happen in your dreams 
I have to keep living so I can wait forever 
I keep losing touch and you keep getting clever 
I walk around the streets in a useless endeavor 
We made a promise that we’d never sever 
You need me like I need night driving 
We are gonna leave but we won’t be arriving 
All my life I’ve been striving 
And I want you. 


Stilt Man 

Like a garden gnome 
She came home 
With a smile so bright 
It lit up the night 
She asked the sticks just what they meant 
And the change in the cat has all been spent 
Home from labour and all rings daisy 
And the next door neighbour thinks she’s crazy 
But the animal trainer gave her up 
To the man on the stilts, 
Who raised her up. 
And he liked to play with babies 
And then they had one 
But the stilt man didn’t like him 
And he bought him a gun 
And baby took a bath 
But she couldn’t get clean 
And the buckets of swallows 
Were all in her dream 
And the upside-down tigers 
Who never like the show 
Showed up to the door 
And the stilt man had to go 
So here’s the little girl 
Who is free from all her eggs 
She gets home so happy 
That she cut up all her legs 
And the smile is always present 
And so is all the blood 
But the stilt man’s in the tigers 
Cuz he did all that he could. 


Porno-Perno-Pie 

I got the chickadee style 
And I need a piece of ass 
I want a proper microphone 
There’s a class I need to pass 
A group of fucking teenagers 
Loiter on my lawn 
Spitting up their slurpees 
Like the wrath of Khan 
Pissing on your lover 
Is such a groovy theme 
I walk up to the poster boy 
And tell him he’s a dream 
Rubber ducky marshmallow 
And the porno-perno-pie 
All the girls just love him 
Cuz he’s such a super guy 
Electrocute my mother 
And gave the lizards up 
You sat down at my card table 
And put your pennies in a cup. 





Tree of no reason 

I force myself 
To believe in the tree 
Even my power 
To hope is dying 
I walk along 
And the forest is burning 
The only way to the tree 
Stairs me in the face again 
I don't think I'll ever 
Find the tree 
That we know so well 
The only way there 
Is straight through Hell 
Your fucking bitch mom 
Won't let me find 
Nobody knows my baby's 
on my mind 
The Siamese cat 
Is deaf and blind 
But at the tree of reason 
everyone's kind 
No one can help me find the tree. 
The whole damn quest is up to me 
And every body thinks I'm out of my mind 
and I will not get there with my made up time 
And the tree, it is just for me 
And the tree, it is just for me 
And the tree of reason, I wont see 
Because every one I know won't let me 
The tree, it is just for me 
The tree, it is just for me 
The tree of reason won't find me 
Because no one will just let me be... 


Turtle’s Age 

And she said she was saving me 
I don’t know who I’m supposed to be 
Like it or not I’m breaking apart 
The story’s so long, don’t know where to start 
And she said she won’t hurt no one 
That’s the way it started 
That’s the way it’s done 
I feel so sick and my flesh is burnt 
Been riding around for a turtle’s age 
And I don’t like it 
And I don’t like that 
I never understood why it wasn’t my cat 
And she said it always takes a lot more 
But that’s all I got cuz I’m so poor 
I went in the dumpster 
Looking for rape 
But I only found popsicle sticks and tape 
I took them home to see what I could do 
I fixed everything 
But I couldn’t fix you 
I could finish your sentence 
Before I knew your name 
I can diagnose your illness 
Before I know about your pain 
You can dig my grave 
Before you know what’s in my head 
And I’ll never leave this town cuz I roll over dead 
I covered myself 
In a thousand autumn leaves 
Cried a pint of blood 
And cut off all my sleeves 
I rode a mangled pony 
To the house on the hill 
I thought about revenge 
And all the ways to kill 
Never did I think 
What I didn’t need 
Would be so needed 
You burned a million acres 
And the ground you then re-seeded 
I gave you everything I know I could 
I wish that you gave it all 
You weigh as much as wood 
And I couldn’t even call 





Closure 

I’ve been wrecked by you 
I’ve been fucked by you 
I’ve been left by you 
I’ve been sucked by you 
I don’t wanna do 
What I’m supposed to do 
And I’ve been wrecked by you 
Your Pandora stew 
My mind is blurred 
And I vomit non-stop 
And I gave you my word 
About this potential drop 
The anatomy 
Of the way we see 
Is like disappointment in the morning 
And alcohol by three 
The rain washed away 
All the blood on my sticks 
And I started again 
And I planned out more tricks 
And I gutted out the one 
Who I left on the bridge 
Who’s been painted over twice 
In my drunken pilgrimage 
I hate every one 
I spit on the sun 
And I never have fun 
And I’ll do it again 
The dog is spinning around 
And he has no head 
Will there be a story to tell 
After I am dead 
Cuz I keep doing what I do 
Even if it’s not for you 
And maybe I’ll never sleep again 
The addiction of eating will surely end 


Crawling 

Crawling up to the temple of no meaning 
She saw what they said was god 
On the alter she lay bleeding 
Her ideas were questioned in our pod 
I was born to make you cry 
I was born to watch you die 
Memories fade as years go by 
I know in my soul it is all a lie 
Cuz the things you say, don’t ring true 
And the things I do, I did for you 
All my life I knew your name 
I just want to see your shame 
He walked to them and asked just why 
He did all the things to let them die 
And why does he feel so good 
When he destroyed all he could 
She crawls to him then runs away 
Not knowing truths or ecstasy 
I can’t stand throwing out your name 
My home just drips with all your pain 
I wear a vice around my neck 
And look to moons for all your head 
I saw her run away from death 
Into arms that I once had. 


Boarder Menu 

I love you my dearest 
So where did you go 
I sat here waiting months 
And cancelled my show 
Stumble up the walk way 
He wore his finest dress 
And the three way streets of marble 
Were all so damn impressed 
I smell something 
That is like an old dream 
And my coffee mate is mouldy 
And I stopped taking cream 
We sat in red shadows 
We gave up all my past 
The menu is at the boarder 
The strobe light doesn’t last 
And all I need is a reason 
To waste my life waiting for a backward answer 
And all I want is an underground home 
With a television and horticultural cancer 
The rain falls fast and cold on you 
I don’t think that there’s anything you could do 
I feel like a part of a dream 
A dream you never had 
And I’m swimming in your bleach 
And I know your going mad 


Box Shaped Dragon Tattoo 

Stop listening to your voices 
The girl said to her self 
The backwards lizard made your choices 
And he put his sticks up un his shelf 
Run up to the basement 
As she ran for her life 
And sit in my bleach 
While he buried his wife 
You don’t know what you do 
And you don’t know who is who 
And she said that he will do 
And she ran with out a clue 
The box car is empty 
And you are full of paint 
She un folded her napkin 
And read the old black ink 
It said I saw you 
I know where you sit 
I seen the Mongoloid baby 
I seen you take a fit 
You know where the truth is 
You’ll never see her face 
When you are all blindfolded 
By the human race 
And I know that I am god 
And I know just where you lie 
The baby crawled home on one leg 
Laid in my bed to die 
And I picked up the underage girl 
With the box shaped dragon tattoo 
And I took her to the shelter 
But I didn’t know what to do 
I save it all for you 


Watchtower 

You smell like sex 
And you sat me down 
And you didn’t like me 
And you didn’t like sound 
And you walked away 
Only to come back 
And you pulled my strings 
And you sat on my lap 
She said that she was done 
She won’t ever need it 
She won’t ever need a plan 
She won’t ever take a fit 
She said that I was fun 
And I gave her a ride 
And my mind began to slide 
And my babies almost died 
You wear my clothes 
And you dance with the dead 
And your sold was sold 
And I tried to fix your head 
A teenage vision 
And a house with a tree 
You never knew my wardrobe 
And you’ll never know me 
I sat up on your shoulders 
And you sat in seven trees 
Her head could be much colder 
She gave me seven keys 
I gave up a year for greetings 
The one who gave up milk 
I drank so much I’m bleeding 
And no one called for help 
The watchtower was her bible 
And kingdom came to burn 
She said I love my mother 
There’s nothing more to learn 


The Longest April 

It was raining before it began 
I looked up and saw nothing 
Walked up from the beach, she gave me sand 
I looked up from my hand and saw nothing 
It was the longest April 
The world ever seen 
It was the shortest sentence 
That I’d ever mean 
And the people hate them 
And they did no wrong 
And April raped them 
And it went on too long 
A box of chocolates 
Sits on my bed 
And the kitten’s babies 
Will end up dead 
The old man has no 
Conscience about that 
He sees his nurse 
And tips his hat 
It was the longest April 
That there’s ever been 
And the sharpest pain 
That I’ve ever seen 
They all asked why 
It just wouldn’t end 
And why the cuts 
Would never mend 
It was the longest April 
There’s ever been…
