It’s not that red

It’s not the red of the dying sun
The morning sheets surprising stain
It’s not the red of which we bleed

The red of cabernet sauvignon
A world of ruby all in vain

It’s not that red

 

I Remember Who You Are

When other people say you're someone to misuse
Shut in behind your young girl's face
And helpless in your bed of thorns
I'll remember who you are
Yes, I'll remember who you are
I'll remember who you are
A young girl, unchained

The Boatman's Call

The boatman he has gone
And the loons have flown for cover
She puts her hand over mine
Down in the lime tree arbour

Grapefruit Moon

Grapefruit moon, one star shining, shining down on me.
Heard that tune, and now I'm pining, honey, can't you see?
'Cause every time I hear that melody, well, something breaks inside,
And the grapefruit moon, one star shining, can't turn back the tide.

Never had no destination, could not get across.
You became my inspiration, oh but what a cost.
'Cause every time I hear that melody, well, something breaks inside,
And the grapefruit moon, one star shining, is more than I can hide.

Now I'm smoking cigarettes and I strive for purity,
And I slip just like the stars into obscurity.
'Cause every time I hear that melody, well, puts me up a tree,
And the grapefruit moon, one star shining, is all that I can see.

The Ocean Doesn't Want Me

The ocean doesn't want me today
But I'll be back tomorrow to play
And the stranglers will take me
Down deep in their brine
The mischievous braingels
Down into the endless blue wine
I'll open my head and let out
All of my time
I'd love to go drowning
And to stay and to stay
But the ocean doesn't want me today
I'll go in up to here
It can't possibly hurt
All they will find is my beer
And my shirt
A rip tide is raging
And the life guard is away
But the ocean doesn't want me today
The ocean doesn't want me today

Rain Dogs

Inside a broken clock
Splashing the wine
With all the Rain Dogs
Taxi, we'd rather walk.
Huddle a doorway with the Rain Dogs
For I am a Rain Dog, too.

Oh, how we danced and we swallowed the night
For it was all ripe for dreamin
Oh, how we danced away
All of the lights
We've always been out of our minds.

The Rum pours strong and thin
Beat out the dustman
With the Rain Dogs
Aboard a shipwreck train
Give my umbrella to the Rain Dogs
For I am a Rain Dog, too.

Oh, how we danced with the
Rose of Tralee
Her long hair black as a raven
Oh, how we danced and you
Whispered to me
You'll never be going back home,
You'll never be going back home.

Til The Money Runs Out

the hudson in panther martin's eyes, he's high and outside wearin' candy apple

Lie To Me

Lie to me baby
Uh huh, lie to me baby
Lie to me baby
Lie to me baby - move on

I know you got another jockey at home
Let me be your rider till your real man comes
Whip me baby, lie like a dog
I really don't care if you do

Lie to me baby
Uh huh, lie to me baby
Lie to me baby
Lie to me baby - move on

I know you got yourself a skinny ol' man
Let me be your baby, I know that I can
Slap me baby, give me all of your grief
I have no use for the truth
Lie to me baby - move on

I know you got another jockey at home
Let me be your rider till your real man comes
Whip me baby, lie like a dog
I really don't care if you do
Never stop telling me lies

Lie to me baby
Lie to me baby
Lie to me baby
Move on

I Don't Wanna Grow Up

When I'm lyin' in my bed at night
I don't wanna grow up
Nothin' ever seems to turn out right
I don't wanna grow up
How do you move in a world of fog
That's always changing things
Makes me wish that I could be a dog
When I see the price that you pay
I don't wanna grow up
I don't ever wanna be that way
I don't wanna grow up

Seems like folks turn into things
That they'd never want
The only thing to live for
Is today
I'm gonna put a hole in my TV set
I don't wanna grow up
Open up the medicine chest
And I don't wanna grow up
I don't wanna have to shout it out
I don't want my hair to fall out
I don't wanna be filled with doubt
I don't wanna be a good boy scout
I don't wanna have to learn to count
I don't wanna have the biggest amount
I don't wanna grow up

Well when I see my parents fight
I don't wanna grow up
They all go out and drinking all night
And I don't wanna grow up
I'd rather stay here in my room
Nothin' out there but sad and gloom
I don't wanna live in a big old Tomb
On Grand Street

When I see the 5 o'clock news
I don't wanna grow up
Comb their hair and shine their shoes
I don't wanna grow up
Stay around in my old hometown
I don't wanna put no money down
I don't wanna get me a big old loan
Work them fingers to the bone
I don't wanna float a broom
Fall in and get married then boom
How the hell did I get here so soon
I don't wanna grow up

There Is A Light That Never Goes Out

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine

Oh, there is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out

Salome

…to be together
a divine lecture

only one man
stood up against…
present ourselves
empty season

this is the only one
he is holding the head
of this… thing

like a curse on me
Salome,Salome
Salome,Salome
Salome,Salome

what it is for you to say?
pushing hard against the…
rolling eyes of…people
the dancing girl
the sin of …

…the Father with us has stayed
tf you pray
Salome,he shall not come
Salome,that’s right
Salome,that’s away
Salome,…

Salome,that’s right
hey,hey!
we shall be
Salome,Salome

do it until the end of sake
to this mind,right away
I got the way,got the way

Shadowplay

to the centre of the city where all roads meet, waiting for you
to the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank, searching for you
I was moving through the silence without motion, waiting for you
in a room with a window in the corner I found truth

in the shadow play, acting out your own death, knowing no more
as the assassins all grouped in four lines, dancing on the floor
and with cold steel, odour on their bodies mad a move to connect
but I could only stare in disbelief as the crowds all left

I let them use you, for their own ends
to the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you
to the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you

My Kingdom For A Horse

My kingdom for a horse, my love
My kingdom for your last breath
This the last will of a man
Who lost freedom and power

My kingdom for a horse my love
My kingdom for your last breath
This is the last will of a blind man
Who fought the most cruel god

Kiss the girls and make them die

Blood on my fist and seed on your lips
While my breath soils the purity of this annoying silence
I am the sentence and the absolution
The highest sun and your greatest regret
I stand and I dare you to watch

Hoping you are the only girl in my life
Hoping the world will forget you
Isolating you to love more
The witness to our infected wounds

Kiss the girls and make them die
It’s the only way you can survive
God forgive me if I tell you how to hide it

Come closer and listen to my words
I’ll confess my weakness to you
Will you understand and arm them despite me
I’ll show you the lines of my crying
Just trying to squeeze a drop of pity out of you
But inflame my desire

Hoping you are the only girl in my life
Hoping the world will forget you
Isolating you to love more
The witness to our infected wounds

Kiss the girls and make them die
It’s the only way you can survive
God forgive me if I tell you how to hide it

Kiss me, hate me
One, two, three, four

Kiss the girls and make them die
It’s the only way you can survive

Swimsuit Issue

I'm just here for dictation
I don't wanna be a sensation
Bein' on Sixty Minutes
Was it worth your fifteen minutes?

Don't touch my breast
I'm just workin' at my desk
Don't put me to the test
I'm just doing my best

Shoppin' at Maxfields
Power for you to wield
Dreams of going to the Grammies
Till you poked me with your whammy

You spinned the disc
Now you're moving your wrist
I'm just from Encino
Why are you so meano?

I'm just here for dictation
And not your summer vacation
You really like to shmooze
Well now you're on the news

I'm from Sherman Oaks
Just a wheel with spokes
But I ain't giving you head
In a sunset bungalow

Hhh, hhh
Roshumba, Judith, Paulina
Cathy, Vendella, Naomi
Ashley, Angie, Stacey, Gail
Ice women
Ice women
Ice women

Standing on a beach

Standing on a beach
With a gun in my hand
Staring at the sea
Staring at the sand
Staring down the barrel
At the arab on the ground
See his open mouth
But hear no sound

Last Fist

What are you about?
Say something secret in an old order hush
Trouble and suffering in a lovely rhythm
A homespun clapboard, black strap thrush

Devoted loyal, undertake the toil
Beware of what comes natural
Undertake the spoil
In a fist

It was cruel and it came all too natural
As a younger child
A headstrong folklore, straw rifle crutch
Thresh a crop defile

Devoted loyal, undertake the toil
Beware of what come natural
In a fist full of sand
It came natural in a fist full of land

To Be Kind

To be kind, to be kind
To be real, to be new
To be sung by a song that's untrue
The falling sun, the fallen one
In a bed, painted blue, touching you
Listening, just listening
To the rain, to the wind, in the field
To be kind, to be kind
To be lost, in a bed, touching you
To be lost, to be lost
To be found in the sound of this room

"There are millions and millions of stars in your eyes..."

Oxygen

Oxygen: Amen! Oxygen: Amen!
I can breathe again. I can breathe again.
Oxygen -come in! Oxygen -come in!
Amen! Amen! Amen! Amen!
Black oil smoke
Thick blue sky
Dead red eye
Hear me cry
Eat my throat
Feed my mind
Yellow eye: Feel me cry
Take me now
Peel my skin
Scrape my vein
Seal me in
Break my bones
Dance and spin
Cut a hole
Feed me now!

I'll steal all the oxygen!

Hey there Dog Man, now I drink from your bowl
Hey there Mr Skull, I'm not scared of your cull
Oxygen! Amen! Oxygen! Amen!
Breathe in! Breathe in!
