letterbomb

Force a smile, she demures
I draw back, I make small overtures
I hung my words like a picture frame
strung like a wire across a nail
words like fingers trailing across the water
heart ticking like a radiator
my thought bubble's going to pop in an evil way
sewn shut with frankenstein stitches
my mouth is watering, it's watering
I've got a beautiful thought you can't stop

Letterbomb, did you get my
Letterbomb?

Force a smile, she demures
I draw back, I make small overtures
Sewn Shut I'm wallowing, I'm wallowing
I've got a beautiful plot you can't stop

Maybe it would all work out better
maybe it would all be the same
if I could x out the letters
or I could obliterate
If I could just put you under

Rundown

I have a crush we kiss it's two and now I'm bored
I have a crush we kiss it's two and now I'm cursed

crush me crush me
crush me come and run me over
crush me now there's an idea

my mother died and now I'm kissing everyone
when will it's head thrust above the tapered waves
an ego's found it's way and now I'm heading south
when will he pull his legs all over me, all over me

when will a death pull itself close to the edge
if I hurt myself I know I'm not a dream
don't want to wreck my car to see that I'm alive
there was a time when forever was a night

crush me you're punk enough to wear a sweater
crush me might kill her if I just met her
crush me go ahead if you think you're better
you're drunk enough to fuck me over and over


start/stop

am i lying to myself am i pacing
when there's angels in me i can't sleep
there's a piece of you inside me slipping
yeh yeh that was great
some water, i'm thirsty

why do i feel so uncomfortable when i'm doing you
a climax with no passion
an apex with no appeal
my guard makes this action as empty as my glass
when i see your mother dressing
your picture hangs and falls hangs and falls

why do i feel so uncomfortable when i think of you
a debut with no actors
a current with no affair
my guard makes this action as empty as these chairs
when i speak to you across the room
my head hangs and falls, hangs and falls


legendary nowhere

what the nothinghead said to the suicide hostess
he said take me in your arms and spare me my neurosis
he said give me some relief and tell me about the real thing
give me some release and show me the real thing
he looked up and the sun came out
he looked up and all the angels came out
and he was finally legendary

he got it, he got it, he got it he got a brand new head

when the nothinghead went with the angel in waiting
she said don't be alarmed if the lines in my body start fading
he said give me some relief and tell me about the real thing
give me some release and show me the real thing

he looked up and the sun was shining
he looked up and she was smiling
and he was finally legendary

he got a brand new head
heaven looks like heaven feels like heaven

In the Bone Garden

Your breath in the air
makes it all abrasive
Your salt is whining to the tears
come find my failure
The bottles and the hearts
where's she gone

I'm leaving letters at your door
You sweep them in your garden
I'm leaving letters at your door
you sweep them all away

She's loosely lit with her legs
and finding pleasure
I'm pouring salt in these wounds
the ashes rising
For death I have no ammends
She's punishing me

Funny that you say
you'll make the door move yes
you tell me that they're alright
and your'e happy there
a mighty mark you'll make
you'll be a pig next time
and I'm feeling slightly faint

nerd god

with your shades on stage
it's an early show
but the kids are out so its go go go
and you're talking to yourself
under a big blue light
in front of thousands
anyone of whom might be a woman

come inside, come inside
here's a place to rest your hide
come inside
I won't tell her how you lied
come inside, come inside

hey chump
it's a sound
it's a song
it's two minutes long
but the kids they all know so they sing along
cause nobody else could be this ironic
nobody has ever felt this way
this much before

she passed out
with a spoon in her mouth
and a note that said
adios, uncle fester

with your shades on stage
it's an early show
but the kids are out
so it's go go go
but tonight more important
things than that
so you leave her dangling
from the rear view
to finger when you please

OneHitWonder

She had a necklace made of red marks
and a tendency to get tossed
His hands dug a dark hole
and his number equalled zero
One Hit-I thought I told you to come over here
One Hit-and wipe that smile off your face, dear
One Hit-He thinks he's shaking hands with God
And it went on and on and on, he'd rub her up like a dog

Once she made her mind up
Once she wondered how
Once she made her mind up, enough, enough

He did not expect a payback
and he was gloating as he laid back
And he thought that she'd be crawling fast
but she had a firm grasp and she was over it
One hit- and it was his turn to swallow
One Hit- there was fire in the muzzle
One Hit- it was a blow to the body
It was a send off, she blew the end off

Once she made her mind up
She felt one too many putdowns
Shouldn't it stop, shouldn't it stop now,
Bitch you ripped me off
Once she made her mind up
with the lights off and the shades drawn down

Now the story's getting twisted
He'll be on pay television
and she'll be forming a militia
and they'll both find religion
One hit-They're gonna write a book about it
One hit-They're gonna get some mileage from it
One hit-They're gonna buy a Bronco
And be guests on each other's talk show

Canal

In the cul de sac
twenty circles back
can't remember when you drive
in the canal
you stop talking
can't remember when you died
he said I'm bad
and you listened
can't remember when we died
stolen memories
we once swam here
can't remember when it rained

I see you're face in the water
i hear your breath at night
i smell blood on your clothing
your smile is out of sight

dessicated
pressed in pages
can't remember the springs high
midnight swimmer
holy water
can't remember if I'm clean
in your bedroom
I sat listless
can't remember if I came
you keep shaking I don't miss
can't remember when we fell

I see I hear I smell
Your smile

  100 % Pure 

where's everybody, where's everybody gone?
They're done away with
they're all used up

she's not 100% pure
she's not 100% pure
inside she's just a little bit off
unhinged, there's something hiding
trying to get out
trying to get out
trying to get out
and she's so so deceiving

what is deceiving is what she needs
she's behind the scenery
pulling on their limbs

SHE'S NOT 100% PURE
SHE'S NOT 100% PURE
SHE'S NOT 100% PURE

happy m.f.

I don't need you, I don't need you
if I want to be happy
I only need you, only need you
if I want to be unhappy
I've got no feeling for you
I've got one thing to tell you
I don't need, I don't need,I don't need you
I don't need anything
I don't need you, I don't need to,
I don't need anything
I've got no feeling for you
I've got one thing to tell you
It was a downslide into an abyss
It was genuine
It was a carcrash
It was a broadside, broadside, broadside
I don't need anything from you
I don't need

Red Danube

Sleeping is dying, but she's so alive in here
Sleeping is dying, but she's so alive in me
and waking is knowing who's still dead
and waking is knowing who's still dead

There's comfort is poison and what is soft
is lying to you, no time for thought
There's comfort is poison and what is soft
is lying to you, no time for thought

Black velvet chair and gray blue screen
you'll fly straight up while we pull to the ground
(we're poor, poor, poor and stuck to our feet)
With your green, green, green and your blind gold shoes

you spot you see your wrong and you're cheap

Star '79

Star '79
Was it something she said
Star '79

In the league of misery, on a whim, it doesn't matter
He couldn't swim without her
In the league of misery, all is swell
30 days in bed, 30 nights in hell

Star '79
That boy was prime for the line
Star '79

Paralyzed, paralyzed smashed in the head
It couldn't help to deaden what was inside him
Paralyzed, paralyzed or nothing at all
They're back together and RomeoÕs gone to hell

I know, I know, my love, my love
Reached into the sky above
His boots were swinging in the breeze
He found my favorite tree

It was a very good year
