Lyrics Sketches (for my Sweetheart the Drunk)

Disc 1:

THE SKY IS A LANDFILL

Circle around the park, joining hands in silence
Watch the evil black the sky
The storm has ripped the shelter of illusion from our brow,
This is no mystery to us now.
Leave your spirit genocide, thec ancer you won't remove.
We cast our funeral rose aside and bury the need to prove.
Our mutilation is to gain from the system.
Turn your head away from the screen, oh people,
It will tell you nothing more.
Don't suck the milk of flaccid Bill K. Public's empty promise
To the promise that the public can ignore.
This way of life is so devised to snuff out
the mind that moves,
Moving with grace the men despise,
and women have learned to lose.
Throw off your shame or be a slave to the system.
I see you take another drag,
one more lost soul to raise your flag.
The sky is a landfill!
I see you take another drag,
let's see you take another drag.
You like to dance to the rolling head of the adulteress,
you sing in praise of suicide. We know you're useless,
Like cops at the scene of the crime,
With your steroids and your feedbag and your stable
and your trainer,
I got a mail bomb for you Mr. Strong Arm.
Throw out the stones from all the cemetery homes,
For the violence of a nation gone by,
Or the politics of weakness and the garbage dump of souls
That will now black the sky.
Their yellow haze and crowds of eyes
will plug up the mind that moves,
Moving with grace the men despise,
and women have learned to lose.
We'll share our bodies in disdain for the system.
I see you take another drag,
one nation bends to kiss the hag.
The sky is a landfill.
I see you take another drag. I see you take another drag.
I have no fear of this machine!

EVERYBODY HERE WANTS YOU

Twenty-nine pearls in your kiss, a singing smile,
Coffee smell and lilac skin, your flame in me.
Twenty-nine pearls in your kiss, a singing smile,
Coffee smell and lilac skin, your flame in me.
I'm only here for this moment.
I know everybody here wants you.
I know every body here thinks he needs you
I'll be waiting right here just to show you

How our love will blow it all away.
Such a thing of wonder in this crowd,
I'm a stranger in this town, you're free with me.
And our eyes locked in downcast love, I sit here proud,
Even now you're undressed in your dreams with me.
I'm only here for this moment.
I know everybody here wants you.
I know everybody here thinks he needs you.
I'll be waiting right here just to show you.
How our love will blow it all away.
I know the tears we cried have dried on yesterday
The sea of fools has parted for us
there's nothing in our way, my love
Don't you see, don't you see?
You're just the torch to put the flame
to all our guilt and shame,
And I'll rise like an ember in your name.
You know I, you now I,
I know everybody here wants you.
I know everybody here thinks he needs you.
I'll be waiting right here just to show you.
Let me show you that love can rise, rise just like
embers.
Love can taste like the wine of the ages, babe.
And I know they all looks so good from a distance,
But I tell you I'm the one.
I know everybody here thinks he needs you,
think he needs you
And I'll be waiting right here just to show you.

OPENED ONCE

I once was open and one with a travelling heart.
I loved this sweet guy.
Just like a fiction rushing in your riverbed.
Arise like applause in my head.
And in the half light where we both stand
This is the half light, see me as I am.
Just like the ocean, always in love with the moon,
It's overflowing now, inside you.
We fly right over the minds of so many in pain.
We are the smile of light that brings them rain.
In the half light where we both stand
In the half light you saw me as I am
I am a railroad track abandoned
With the sunset forgetting I ever happened,
That I ever happened.

NIGHTMARES BY THE SEA

Beware the bottled thoughts of angry young men.
Secret compartments hide all of the skeletons.
Little girl wants to make her home with him,
In themiddle of the shore, she wonders,
"Don't know what you asked for."
"Don't know what you asked for."
All young lovers know why
Nightmares blind their mind's eye.
Your rube is young and handsome,
So new to your bedroom floor,
You know damn well where you'll go.
I've loved so many times and I've drowned them all.
From their coral graces, they rise up when darkness
falls.
With their bones they'll scratch the window,
I hear them call,
"Don't know what you asked for."
"Don't know what you asked for."
All young lovers know why
Nightmares blind their mind's eye.
Your rube is young and handsome,
So new to your bedroom floor,
You know damn well where you'll go.
Stay with me under these waves, tonight.
Be free for once in your life tonight.
Your rube is young and handsome,
So new to your bedroom floor,
You know damn well where you'll go
All young lovers know why
Nightmares blind their mind's eye.
Your rube is young and handsome.
So new to your bedroom floor,
You know damn well where will go.
All young lovers know why
Nightmares blind their mind's eye.
Your rube is y0oung and handsome.
So new to your bedroom floor,
You know damn well where you'll go.
Ah. Ah. Ah.

YARD OF BLONDE GIRLS

Through the yard, through the yard of blond girls.
Through the river and the sea.
Gold sharks glittering.
A tree of white breaks the earth.
The streets where Lola played.
Very sexy, very sexy. Okay, okay.
Fear, we may come. (X 4)
So run, run, run, run, run, run, run.

It's in your heart, it's in your art, your beauty.
Even in this world of lies, there's purity,
You've got innocense in your eyes.
Even in this world of lies, you're still hopeful.
very sexy, Okay, okay.
Fear, we may come. (X 4)
So run, run, run, run, run, run, run.
Through the yard, through the yard of blonde girls.
Through the river and the sea.
Gold sharks glittering.
A tree of white breaks the earth.
The streets where Lola played.
Very sexy, very sexy. Okay, okay.
Fear, we may come. (X 4)
So run, run, run, run, run, run, run.

WITCHES' RAVE

It sounds just like a scream.
I don't know what you mean.
Your witchcraft's all around me in your ragged pagan scene.
You tell me all the ways around my garden that you like.
I float just like a bubble heading for a spike.
All is well between the breasts of passenger and slave.
We'll never make it out alive to join the witches' rave.
You'd like to see him suffer for you fantasy and thrill.
He fell sick while we made love,
he's out there, somewhere, still.
Oh, I feel the spell that you have cast,
Hot, pink, nasty bubble gum, coming down just like a big red coal.
Oooooooo. Oooooooo.
I can't help from looking outside for a guarantee
I can't help from looking outside for a guarantee

Hey! I try to keep all hidden when you come around.
Oh, no! The sight of broomsticks sliding on the ground.
You're levitating something, ?cause I feel so collectible.
We're all lying natural,
he's watching from a window up above
I see he loves you, I'll bring you closer..
Something in my fate says it's not right for me
Tell me, am I cursed or am I blessed?
I don't' know,
oh yes!
?Cause all is well between the breasts
of passenger and slave.
I'll never make it out alive to join the witches' rave.
Ooooooooo. Oooooooo.
I can't help from looking outside for a guarantee (7x)
For a guarantee.

NEW YEAR'S PRAYER

Oooooo.
Fall in light, fall in light.
Fall in light, fall in light.
Feel no shame for what you are (X 5)
As you now are in your heart
Fall in light
Feel no shame for what you are
Feel no shame for what you are
Feel it as a water fall
Fall in light, ooh.
Fall in light, fall in light,
Fall in light, ooh.
Fall in light, fall in light
Fall in light, Grow in light.
Stand absolved behind your electric chair, dancing.
Stand absolved behind your electric chair, dancing.
Past the sound within the sound.
Past the voice within the voice.
Ah. Ah. Ah.
Leave your office, run past your funeral,
Leave your home, car , leave your pulpit.
Join us in the streets where we
Join us in the streets where we
Don't belong.
Don't belong.
You and the stars
Throwing light.
Oooooo (repeat)
Fall, fall.
Ooooo
Fall in light, fall in light.
Fall in light, oooo.
Fall in light, fall in light
Fall in light. Grow in light.

MORNING THEFT

Time takes care of the wound, so I can believe.
You had so much to give, you thought I couldn't see.
Gifts for boot heels to crush, promises deceived
I had to send it away to bring us back again.
Our eyes and body brighten silent waters, deep.
Your precious daughter in the other room, asleep.
A kiss "Goodnight" from every stranger that I meet.
I had to send it away to bring us back again.
Morning theft. Unpretender left, ungraceful.
True Self is what brought you here, to me.
A place whee we can accept this love.
Friendship battered down by useless history,
Unexamined failure.
What am I still to you?
Some thief who stole from you?
Or, some fool drama queen whose chances were few?
That brings us to who we need,
a place where we can save
A heart that beats as both siphon and reservoir.
You're a woman, I'm a calf.
You're a window, I'm a knife.
We come together making chance into starlight.
Meet me tomorrow night, or any day you want.
I have no right to wonder just how, or when.
You know the meaning fits. There's no relief in this.
I miss my beautiful friend.
I have to send it away to bring her back again.

VANCOUVER

Lady, all the troubles are my fright, I disgust you.
Feel the power. you cut the truth into you.
Why? Do you think I?d hidden out? On this rely -
I could kiss you, with lines of escape in my mouth.
Please let me bring back these gifts of mine to the woman.
His eyes shined on myback as I slept and knew you.
You didn't leave it all. You made an even call.
My belly released the stars and tears between the scars.
Ooooh.
We're where we belong, it should end here,
until the end of time,
Beyond the moment that ends our bondage.
i am your failed husband contender,
I'm your loan shark of bliss.
This dream you've ridden on turns yoru world to explosions
You need to be alone to heal this bleeding stone.
Now, smell the rain of London, it still insists
That we beg for our purity.
As if we are pure into the rain of our contentment
As if I can think of this no more.

YOU AND I

You and I.
Ah, the calm below that poisoned rier wild,
You and I.
Tears that dry on a rude awakened hild.
Where you look down.
I'e walked here before, burining holes
With eyes of liquid brown.
If we had only known, in a way
We wouldn't reach this ground.
You were my only home, silver eyes.
I want to see you shine.
And we will feel the weight.
Fall away from us in time.
Searching our past for the true
You and I, you and I, you and I.
All for you.
Where you tink you'll fall,
I adore you.
Where you shut your soul,
I will open for you.
If we had only known in a way
We'd never reach this ground.
I`ll know, silver eyes,
I can see us shine.
I said, we will feel the weight
Fall away from us in time.
Searchign our past for a true
You and I, you and I, you and I.
All for you.

NIGHTMARES BY THE SEA

NEW YEAR'S PRAYER

HAVEN'T YOU HEARD.
Your wish is my command!
Have you heard this talk about eye contact
Gonna be the downfall of this town.
First the photographs take you to the right hands.
Leads you to the authority mold.
(Chorus)
Paranoia will write the world prayer
make sure you fit in the right holes
But when you take his offer, you're done for,
Done for, Oh!
Phantoms in pockets, we're in panic,
Making order in total disgust
Oh, they read a list of all who cannot stay
Take you down, on the ground
(Chorus)

Make sure you learn to beware yoru neighbor
Bolt the doors and hire your guards
Suck your life with their virus called language
Someone told you this all would go down.
And the last thing you see is the luster,
Hold the razor, goodbye to your friends
Would your underground please call the mayor,
Call the neighbor, call your friends.
(Chorus)

Well, when he first saw you, you'd need no protection
I train my eyes on your mouth, you'll learn to take him.
Hmmm. It's a brand new power.

My friends had her questions right.
Beware your neighbor
Haven't you heard, haven't you heard
That we're done for. Oh.
Learn to beware your neighbor
And the right mode
Haven't you heard?
Haven't you heard,
That we're done for, done for?

When I count down from ten
You'll feel th lead in your lids
You'll have no need to exist
And wake up refreshened.
Hah!

I KNOW WE COULD BE SO HAPPY, BABY (IF WE WANTED TO BE)

There's no easy answer, none to blame or forgive
Two cripples dancing to the end we live.
I'm not with you, not of you
Not with you, not of you
You are soft and young to me
I am the ghost who comes and goes
And I hope I'll catch you in the throws
Of one last look at the wonder.
One last look at the wonder.
O, God, I love you.
And all the past we once knew
Some other love becomes you
Whatever else we come to
I know we could be so happy, baby
If we wanted to be.
You are soft and young to me
I am the ghost who comes and goes
And I hope I'll catch you in the throws
Of one last look at joy that we've become.
But there's no easy answer, none to blame or forgive.
We were two cripples dancing, to the biter end we live.
I'm not with you, but of you.
I'm not with you but of you.
O, God, I loved you
And all the past we once knew
Some other love becomes you
Whatever else it comes to
I know we could be so happy, baby
If we wanted to be
We had a birthplace in common
We had separate beds and lives.
I'll just sit here and glow,
Break out the oldest pictures,
Hanh your ruined letters out to dry.
We had a birthplace in common,
And separate beds and lives.
I know that we could be so happy, baby
If we wanted to be.
know that we could be so happy, baby
If we wanted to be
Yeah, oh.

MURDER SUICIDE METEOR SLAVE

Would you like to meet the villain somewhere
Underneath the skull of a moon.
Fire burned his eyes out
?cause his chains are too long for you.
Someone has to pay for the damage done.
No-one's gonna love you now.
Your whole family's splintered,
You're a slave to it all,
now.
Ooooo Ahhhhh
Oh, you're a slave to it all now
You're a slave
Welcome down to paradise rock.
There is no single entrance,
With the stars to revolve around,
There is no real underground
No stars to revolved around
Here, they're fashion the noose.
Sickened by the knell of the graveyard bell
You know it's not long for you.
Sick of all the vomit childhood,
Not a trampoline for the freaks,
Not even a slave to your father.
Oh, you're a slave to it all, now,
Oh, you're a slave to it all, now.
Welcome down to paradise rock.
There is no single entrance,
With the stars to revolve around,
There is no real underground.
There is not a single entrance
There's no stars to revolve around
There is no real underground.
You're a slave to it all, now.
Happy, happy, happy, happy
Happy, happy, happy, happy.

BACK IN N.Y.C.

I see faces and traces of home
Back in New York City
So you think I'm a tough kid
Is that what you heard?
Well, I like to see some action,
And it eats into my blood.
Well, they let me out of Pontiac
When I was just seventeen
I had to get it out of me
If you know what I mean, what I mean.
They say I must be crazy
?Cause I don't' care who I hit, who I hit.
?Cause I know its me that's hitting out
And I'm not full of shit.
Down by my bottle, filled up high with gasoline
You can tell by the night fires
Where a rail has been, has been
As I cuddled the porcupine
He said I had none to blame but me.
Gave my heart, deep in hell,
Time to shave, shave it off, it off
No time for romantic escape
and your Fluffy heart is ready for rape
No, no time for romantic escape
And your fluffy heart is ready for rape
Off we go. Off we go Off we go
You're sitting in your comfort
Who don't believe I'm real
You cannot buy protection
For the way that I feel
Your progressive hypocrites
Handing out their trash
It was mine in the first place
So I'll burn it to ash.
When I've eaten all the strongest meats
And laid them down in coloured sheets
Laid them down in colored sheets
Well, who needs illusions,
Of love and affection when you're out
Walking in the streets, your mainline connection
Connection
As I cuddled the porcupine
He said I had none to blame but me
Held my heart deep in hell
Time to shave, shave it off, it off.
No time for romantic escape and your
Fluffy heart is ready for rape.
No. No time for romantic escape
And your fluffy heart is ready for rape.
No. No time for romantic escape
And your fluffy heart is ready for rape.
No time.
Back in New York City.

GUNSHOT GLITTER (BONUS TRACK)
Don't you wanna let go of your heart
Or you the beds of bliss
Fortune makes fools of us all
My dear materialista, silence was insane,
The parting was mutual.
Don't' you want the rocket to rock out?
There's a room for us both to fly.
Tell the man I'm never coming back again.
Tell the man I'm never coming back again.
Why should you notice at all?
Gone again beside you will fall
Down to the sea out of the skies
Of gold cards and casual tears
I have only come to see you shine
Feminine smiles the right side is wise, more than I
I wanna be your lover,
Lipstick my name across your mirror
Blood red with flaked gunshot glitter
And be one with all your disown in your young life
You paranoia politician diva.
You paranoia politician diva.

Will you let go your heart,
Left behind a hypnotising swirl
The semi's left behind.

Don't you want to rocket to rock?
There's room for both of us to fly
Same show everyday, don't' have to bow up the sky.
So I just came from hick town
Left my coins behind
Maybe some poor clone's gonna buy himself a line
Why should you care if I crash your affair?
Why should you notice me? I really wanna see you shine.
I wanna be your lover
Lipstick my name across your mirror
Now, be one with all you disown.
True love has come to us all.
Blinded by the flame, right side smiles,
Organized male, love, my silence was insane.
The parting was mutual the moment I became
A paranoia political diva
A paranoia political diva
A paranoia political diva
A paranoia political diva
Diva, diva, diva

DEMON JOHN

Say farewell, g'night, Sonny-Jim,
In your defenceless, winning smile.
What do you hope to win?
And bliss face down, defended.
Well, now stoned Demon John
There's no town the boy cannot belong

Why did you come here?
Is it to excavate all your sins? Boil within?
Slaughter like the daughter of the devil you send me.
I have to deal, you called me here.
You couldn't say that you were juiced
The night that you were introduced
To Demon John
Gonna take him with you when you go?
Dance down slow. Oh, way down.
You cannot escape the bar-side angel dissector.
You undo your life with too much cocoon,
who's your protector?
Dark is the city where the white girls walk by.
Down below your eyes, just like fireflies.
You call me here, come on here, follow me dear,
Past cascades of rage and fear.
You called me here.
You couldn`t say that you had been juiced
The time that you were introduced to Demon John.
Well, you knew you had to want to go, dance down slow.
By the light of the sun, murder comes
Today or tonight
Better get yourself together and transcend it,
a burst of light
Blaze stars into me,
while the love breaks through here and now.
So, murder by the light of the sun.
Please, don't get too close to me.
You said you are for real, it's not pretend.
All memories stolen, know this for yourself.

How would you like to be the happiest man in the world?
Behind the weathered field hands, whose blistered
paws
Harvest cut, for wedding clothes they'll never wear,
marching down a road that was never there.
It takes place on a sunlit lace and the backbone broken.
Please bring us light, Demon John, You Demon John
Take him with you when you go.

YOUR FLESH IS SO NICE

I want to tell you a story
About a little cutey
She's ass-slappin` pretty
And voluptuous fingers
Wanna let her lick me
thick me Stick the thick of my pussy
From across the street
She looked good enough to eat me
Kitty! Your flesh is nice
Your flesh is nice
Let me take a bite
You flesh is so nice
Oh, I take off my belt
Oh, I whip the staircase
(whip the staircase)
Kill all the men
Everything's dead to them
You're the only one I follow
Come on and let me give you that "O".
Your flesh is nice I
wanna take you twice
Your flesh is nice
Ooo your flesh is nice
your flesh is nice
?Wanna take a bite
Your flesh is so nice
Your flesh is so
Your flesh is so
Your flesh is so
Your flesh is so
Nice (repeat)

JEWEL BOX

I know you're a woman by the way you burn below
I'll tell you secrets so good, you'll never tell a soul
Come closer, that bonfire holds his life like stones
My years, my life unknown.
Diamonds from the pavement
broken glass had been.
Just like these troubles that I'm leaving to the wind.
Like sapphires in boxcars speeding towards the end.
Like thieves, my bad luck grows.

Jewel box of sadness, bring to catch your tear
Crystallise illusion shine, forgot I'm here
Jewel box of sadness, bring to catch your tear
Oh, you left some stars in my belly

Star crossed child's love on the bands of wedding gold
Silver studs of promise hide in red crushed velvet folds.
Inaction, intention, like emeralds I stole.
My speech of custom gold.
I think I ought to know.
Jewel box of sadness, bring to catch your tears
Crystallise illusion shine, forgot I'm here
Jewel box of sadness, bring to catch your tear
Oh, you left some stars in my belly.
you left some stars in my belly.
you left some stars in my belly.

SATISFIED MIND

How many times have you heard someone say
"If I had money, I'd do things my way."
But little they know that it's so hard to find.
one rich man in ten with a satisfied mind.

Money can't buy back your youth when you're old
A friend, when you're lonely, or peace to your soul
The wealthiest person is a pauper at times
Compared to the man with a satisfied mind.

When my life is over and my time has run out
My friends and my loved ones, I'll leave them no doubt
But, on thing's for certain, when it comes my time
I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind
One thing's for certain, when t comes my time
I'll this old world with a satisfied mind Satisfied mind
