the things that make me smile
laugh and light up my face
like innocence glowing in spring
I have run short on the all the things
decisions that I'm without
a reason to love
to dance and sing
paint my pretty face
I'm so green I'm so aloof
I need my blood warm again
I feel like driving off the wall
like a restless ballad
I've had too much

have a hard day well then you have to realize theres one place that you have to find I know this place as tirelessly as the next guy he tells me theres no place like home one along the shore just like home I bet there's nothing quite like the shore I'll tell ya I once found a place along the shore of my mind theres nothing quite as fast and frivolous as that I think its coming and going now its something like a speeding bullet to mars and I think we just found that peace within ourselves but be careful because I think there's something up with that awfully scary looking badger in the corner there watch out for him he might try to bite your ankles or something rash like I swear it I know who the real people are around here trust no other man I can find you a flavour anywhere anyway you want it delivered to your buds that'll warm you right up it'll feel like firing pistons off in your gasket.

drunk wide awake
lying on my side
shorthand dreaming
of my favorite place
and all the bodies
that they improvise
another piece dies
festers and rots
i am new to this
feeling all tight
beneath my chest
dodging bullets
everyone laughing
along to the music
demanding blood
hitting the floor
every night out
*****
*****
*****
*****
*****
******* it

catch a note forward
in the basket of quality
often deciding what is likely
so fast and frivolous these days
words becoming more and more
of a plainsong drone inhabiting such
a confined area upstairs (but more of a)
downstairs situation and
i’ve forgotten what
that exactly
means
but

we were talking
i hear many things
great party we enjoyed
smart boy you must have
glancing along the tight rope
i can never tell never which kind
of man i am if it’s not love (personified)
then hate me softly please
and we should forget
what that all
means
but

it’s another poem
some slurring or another
maybe they will find someone
and i’m sure it will if nothing else
decadence is just around the corner
one could lose themselves (in possibilities)
the maddening uncertainty
and i don’t think i
will ever
forget
it

Me encanta un alma pesada, muy tierna.
Manos arriba, no mueva,
Soy culpable.

Ven conmigo,
Mi corazón está agrio, entrégalo aquí.
Dámelo y gíralo alrededor.

Ya que te sientes triste,
Tú debes gustarle.
Todo lo que amo no es feliz.

Completamente solo, sin cuidado.
Desde que la luz del sol derritiendo,
He tenido un alma pesada, muy tierna.

i can never age

life's a guilty consequence
drooling away on my pillow

it's all my fault

yeah sure yeah but
monkey see monkey do

hush, *******

you ooze from every pore
and reek of it too

whatever it takes
