Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Silence


Pretty Lush
I draw them on reckless, etched in, scratched in like resurrection.
Your sins are killing you and you can bet they'll get me too.
I've got to give some to get some.
Mining in the river, standing in the rain.
Down on your knees as you heave at the drain.
You can lead a whore to water and you can bet she'll drink and follow 
orders.
And I said, "Is this what you wanted?"
"Is this what you needed?"
Give it some more time.
Tonight I'm going to a party, but its already started without me.
I aced philosophy and mastered the art of spiritual phrase.
I've got to give some to get some.
The disco ball spins away another year.
I wish you a broken heart and a happy new year.
Only three words come to mind ("True Till' Death")


Siberian Kiss
Give me back my pictures of me.
Me, you, and him that makes three.
It figures the wheezing will measure your rate of depress
and I hope that you know.

Like a bitch in heat I hope she know.
So put another penny in and turn the crank until the frames
cease to move and the movie turns into a photo,
a photo the size of a kiss I hope she knows.

Staring at a Parisian sex flick where the characters don't meet,
the characters don't speak, and the characters are
like mirrors facing mirrors:
space always expanding.

So put another penny in and turn the crank until the frames
cease to move and the movie turns into a photo,
a photo the size of a kiss I hope she knows.

A hiccup in paradise I keep you jealously to myself,
in a photo the size of a kiss,
a kiss in the shape of a bullet.

On phone lines and letterhead, I'm dying about.
I've watched you whore yourself out for one more thing.
There's always one more thing.
If I can't have you know one will.
Pushing a lover to love another.
Are you turned on?
I keep you jealously to myself.


When One Eight Becomes Two Zeros
I'm glad that you're near
And I'm sad when you're here
This is what it's like to be me
I'm glad that you're here
And I'm sad that you're near
This is what it's like to die alone.

This all hurts me so much
That I honestly belive
You're the one this is hard for
Iv'e barterd tact for wit
And Iv'e already made up
A billion stories about you.

Knee deep in static
I hear you breaking up
I'm breaking up
I guess we're breaking up
You're not the other woman
You're just another(woman)
Another hobby for a guy like me.

You've given me a heart like a gun
And I'm so shocked that I made it through
These billion days.
I didn't think I could tough it out for those days
A billion.

Knee deep in static
I hear you breaking up
I'm breaking up
I guess we're breaking up
You're not the other woman
You're just another(woman)
Another hobby for a guy like me.

So we're growing?
I'm sure
There's no other I can turn to
Theres no other I can turn to
If not you, heart
Who else can I belive???

Knee deep in static
I hear you breaking up
I'm breaking up
I guess we're breaking up
You're not the other woman
You're just another(woman)
Another hobby for a guy like me.

I hope you enjoy dying alone


Ry Ry's Song
There's a woman sitting in a motel room
Counting minutes and seconds
Adding to her list of 'one hour loves'
She's tired but the new will do
She'll replace the body
His friends are good for bang-bang
An amiable hobby
He's got a secret
Just keep it and sleep with it
He can't believe a thing you've said
'We're going nowhere'
'...Fair is fair'

The way you play with lives
Is such a big disguise
We swear that
We're not gonna take it
The way you play with lives
Is such a big disguise
We swear
We're not running naked

There's a man sitting in a motel
Waiting for a hooker that he never applied for
Or is it even her?

Just when it's perfect
it's finite
He called it
He said he's sober
It's over
So long
I burn the lamp
I burn when I do everything I do for you
It's like being caught in the blade
I hate you
And I guess it's nothing new for you.


Lovebites And Razorlines
Who you f**king now

Hurting And Shoving (She Should Have Let Me Sleep)
When I get back
Pre-break of dawn
hear the ring it's me
live from a pay phone
talking in the rain.
Things pan out exactly as i say they will.
Will I be less happy
when I get back?

Two hand in one glove
as if we were poor.
The hard up make the soup from stones
like the poor before them did before.

You say the waiting could crush your heart.

But it's nothing new to me
have you crave me so desperately
but I know
how when you need me you bleed for me,
though now I'm gone you fill my shoes with new
fans.
Always and forever
we are apart and may she see
she'd be free rejoicing in distance
if she only let me sleep.

Will things make less happy
when I get back?

Absence makes the heart grow still.
Abuse the hunt; confuse the kill.
I know, I know.

Make the dead feel deader
deader.
Make the dead sleep nights with a razor
waiting.
Kill the prey.

I'll hold my child's head underwater.
If it's a boy, I was joking
if it's a daughter, I'll say I did what I did
because I had to...
And if you find my kid later
tell her I laughed too.

We just might work out fine
because I love you enough
to let you give the pain that I want
...And when you do
I just might f**k you
enough to love you.
Once upon my night stand
lied letters piled in columns
postmarked Middle Island
out east in the country of Solemn.


Majour
You only get one taste
and for this gift we are graced.
You only get one taste
and for this gift
wait.

Now let me go
so I can brag about the gifts that he stole.
(Thank you) For all the lonely nights.
I will carry this with me where I go.

Bad taste in my mouth.
You would think I'm a whore.
Bad taste in my mouth.
You would think I'm you.

You only get on taste
and for this gift we are graced.
You only get one taste
and for this gift
she's likely to go,
or so she'll say.
We sleep as we do to keep our nights days away.
Love,
or so she'll say.
Immature love.
You breed immature lust.

So died the virgin.
I have told you before,
You we're nothing special to him
(and that's just another thing that's nothing new for you).

You'll be born.
You before.

Embody me
with you body.
I've never seen it.
I have never.
Embody me
with your body.
I've never seen it.
Are you happy?


Her Middle Name Was Boom
She cured the plague of the holy child
and all the while
she just walked in
and boom! she said
in her room with her red fingernails
and a grip on the answers.

When it's home
and I'm broken, let's fix.
When it's home
and I'm swollen, let's kiss.
When it's home
and we're walking, she'll lead
If she's waiting, we'll leave.
I'm so gracious.

If you touch it
it's cold.
If you drop it
it breaks.
If you hold it
it shakes.
Boom! she said.

My name's I Dare.

All the while...


Piano
Three times alone this week I was supposed to be a rock star.
"I only beat you when I'm drunk, you're only pretty when you're crying.
" We are supposed to be the ones to set the air afire.
Three times alone this week I was made into a liar.
Whether (or not) I found the gold, I never told.
Richer: I, Brilliant White.
I.
I wear shoes that move men from desert to riches.
Show me what you got girl and scratch it because it itches.
Call me chameleon and extinguish my fire.
Three times alone this week I was supposed to be a liar.

Maybe not.
Why the stare? Would I lie about that which I'm scared?
What did I say to you?
Step into a pot of gold, rejoice in fire that which soons burn cold.
What did I say to you?
I can't deny the throat, the love, sincerity.
I can't deny it.
"I've got to keep my P.M.A."


Babe
I exclude light and wash my hands of you.
By larger being devoured,
leaving only me to improve.

Weep.
Don't f**king weep.
Your weak eyes cry tears of the week.
Weep.
Catch up with the sheep.
It's a sacrilegious ceremony.
New flavor of the week.

Nothing's sacred in the faces of the soulless
(that you're made into).
You're raptured by a guilty stifle down.

...And what I'll do
is mess you up and lie to you.
Look at you
You know it's true.
It's a field trip to Hollywood Babylon.
But
I'm
not
coming.
No.


Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Silence
That burning feeling.
Red liquids.
Clear liquids.
Blessed are the sick.
Children shiver in the river.
Where is our god now?
Does he watch over all in El Segundo?
He don't lie when he say,
Under.

I'm wasting away.
I find time to pine.
When pining away my time.
Within sin
With no redemption
We will find our souls
and the shells they're kept in
all wasted away.

Blessed are the sick in me.
The prey, the thrill, the chill and we
are martyrs that crumble on time.
Predestination.
We'll stop upon dimes.
and hed constructed us all in El Segundo,
as the shivering children pray.

Demons in
demons out.
Cry for dawn.
Gratis.
Bored.
I'm the matador of the children's ward.
Beggars wed choosers.
Red sheets.
Bed sheets.
Boozers.
I'm the head fan.
Blessed be my bed pan.

It's a cold, having just been mugged feeling.

In the sun
I've got this for you
it's under my finger nails.
I brought this for you.
It's typically Sunday.

I'm digging a hole.
I'll shut out the world, 
I'll shut out the world, 
This is what it's like to be alone, 
This is what it's like to be alone.


Hotel Of The White Locust
Welcome to Hollywood whore.
Wake up in Hollywood whore.

My dance has passed.

Combine the throb within the head
with the rhythm of the feet.
Say a novena for all those lost
and read the bloodstains on the sheets.
I've whored myself for less than this
and I've prayed to appear to fed.
As I knelt on my pillow God,
I clenched my fists and banged my head.

Who could ever take the place of me?

How I kiss up to God my fists
and I pray to keep my head
though I like your pretty eyes better blackened
and my fists all red.
Through sickness and health
I've kissed up to God two years.
I have focused on the cameos made by the tiger
in the valley of the locust.

Wipe it off you mouth.
Get up off your knees
and make me your god.

It's sexual debauchery.
You cost what you're worth.

Followed by a boy like this.
Re-ignited by all your visits.
As long as your mouth is shut
You'll still be beautiful.


Secret Song
Fraudulent 
Miracles, Make Miracles Seem sh*t 
Rice Paper Princess (I Guess too poor for flesh...f**k you) 
In the mist above perfection 
Rain On The Parade 
Me that's crowding daylight
and the hole inside the hood of a saint.
And never the two shall meet 
Said the tiger to its greatest fan 
The amount of love you wish to give is more than i can stand 
and now you leave me in defeat 
leave me battered, broken man 
The amount of love you wish to give is more than i can stand 
Now I have you where I want you 
I know that you are listening 
This is my chance to tell you everything 
my chance to tell you I love you 
but I've waited too long 
Now the record's over 
Now the record's over

Next time you think of mine will you say, Will you say it's the same? She means nothing. What would you do if I scythe myself too? I've got a job for you. Lumberjacks and logs, And lillypads and frogs. I broke one string now, Three more to go. Taken outside, Be guarded by you. How could you rape me? Me and Marshall, How could you rape me?

Will you say it's the same? Will you say it's the same? I don't know, I don't know. People say "I don't know" Everyday. Yeah. Prepare. Yeah. I won't take back no more, I don't reject what I say. Cause if I get what I like, We'll take my time away. Away. Pack your sh*t and leave and take my memories of her with you. (Away.) .. And take her f**king with you. Hidden Poem This is a new garden over old flowers. And old makes old jokes take on the feel of the lore. And new lips are cradled sense of humor, So don't waste wishes on him. Wish that one day they'd figure out how to shrink stars and i could keep one in my bedroom. And wish that me and her could grow old together. And wish that in my next life I come back as a tiger. These are fun wishes. In about seven minutes you can start. 'Til then, you'll just listen to the radio from seat's edge. As if then it's the look on your face. As if, as if then you'll matter, And then I can't wait.




Worship And Tribute

Tip Your Bartender Time for our men in uniform (with a price upon their heads). This is a WAR! Sober up. But call it what you want, The color changes up in the sun. Not throwing stones at you anymore. Your name's in lights and I don't wonder Anymore. All my X's live with hexes. This is why I hang Myself with jealousy upon a fencepost half mast. Fashion: war between The guilty and the guilty and the guilty.. And the teen. Not throwing stones at you anymore. Your name's in lights and I don't wonder Anymore. [pause] Oh yeah, I would like to.. Die like mice do. I'm crying in the beer of a drunk man. Crying. Not throwing stones at you anymore. Your name's in lights and I don't wonder Anymore. Oh yeah, I would like to.. Like to die, like f**king mice do. I'm crying in the beer of a drunk man. Crying. Buy it, load it, shoot it. Mu Empire I'm glad you sent a line. Euphoria's endearing. And it's cold, We might as well retire. To the drawer where all used things resign. Mr. shiver, in the river, You were told. You were sold. I do, I do. If we make it over the mountain. Dressed in leather, red ball and vault attire; The most ironic place to be is easy... Between my finger and the blade, right before I let the used resign. Mr. shiver, in the river, You were told. You were sold. I do, I do. If we make it over the mountain. You might lose the one you choose. You might lose who won you times ten. Cosmopolitan Bloodloss many days, many phases down the line. When people whisper it makes her nervous. It's you from the airport addressing most littlest. In several days I just might prove worth it. After all, After all, should they let you decide? Anyway, in a way... Walk the wire, walk the line. When people whisper it makes her nervous. It's you from the airport addressing most littlest. Several days too late to unearth it. So after all, After all, should they let you decide? We are the most impassioned ugly people. Ape Dos Mil You can bet in mid-october, I will still be ranting 'bout early may. Yeah he's a winner, He's a goddamn sinner. While he dines I'm on the wrong side of the day. And I said, "I don't understand why I'm fumbling after" You're the reason I cannot forget this season Or the letter when she first referred to eight. It's all calypso. But it's not easy to know. You walk around with your shoulders down frowning, But it's not easy to know. It's over. You can bet when mid-october end's I'll still be ranting 'bout most early may. Yeah, he's a winner. He's a goddamn sinner. While he dines I'm on the wrong side of the day. And I said, "I don't understand why I'm fumbling after" Yeah, you're the reason I cannot forget this season, Or the lesson how an ape shall not kill ape. And I said, It's all calypso. But it's not easy to know. You walk around with your shoulders down frowning, But it's not easy to know. It's just a tango. But it's not easy, you know. I walk around with my horns out now, But it's not easy to know. I'm.. I'm going under. You can't trust a man who's a governor Ape can't trust man. You can't trust a man with a gun at all. Ape can't trust man. How can you heal? If you don't ease back the blame. Knowing you're right, won't you heal? Pink Roses You're asking when do I stop? When the bottle's empty. Blacker than my father's soul, drunk enough to raise us all. Pink roses. Nomad: Drowning rat. Black. Black. So black you can't even grasp the fact. Blacker than a beggar's soul, rich enough to save us all. Pink roses. Lead with your need as god descends. Cold in the ground. What gets me this down? The smell of magnesium, the smile of a clown. I want to drink you, scare you, f*ck you and film you. Must've Run All Day if it takes you I don't want to. If it makes you scared In the bare, anyway. If it makes you, I don't want to.. See your face when you feel Not alive. If you're lying in bed with the pride of a lion Are you there? If you're shrewd enough to be underlined You are there. A world premier. If it makes you If it takes you, I don't want to. If it's the last thing you do... Plagiarize. And where's my Sandinista? Stuck Pig Lay down in this latrine in nailbomb, In the city of Molotov, In the province of gun, In a whole off the highway In the land of two suns. Sometimes I get pissed When My blow goes like a quickie in the snow But I'm sure I'll go down inside. I chew the thorn when midnight gets too long On the feet of a dragon. Alone in the sun for sticking it in too long. The seed of a bastard. Some night's the wind pipe's covered in dope. I pray it be covered in a rope. Me, me, me. Grief, grief, grief. Beat the heat. Grunt f**k. Grin f**k. Push her in the snow f**k. The dope fiend splashes gash like a nailbomb. Radio Cambodia I'm not impressed, I guess I'm not impressed. With which dialect, which dialect marches best, And who reaches heaven in what order When our kids are baptized in mortar. It's a shame that our messiahs move their pawns from different mountains And we're left to move their bodies 'round the fountain. If a leader preaches worship to the sheep within the valley, Who'll be riding in a tank that says "just married"? We found that ultimately you can make it snow in the summer. Contrary to what you believe We oscillate and vary speed. The food in jail is sulphury. How do inuits spell relief? Summer's trudging closer and a flurry of white as well. It's the heart of nuclear winter and you can bet I'm scared as hell. The Gillette Cavalcade Of Sports I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish A round and a bout.. Down the line I'm heir To throne nowhere. I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish A mountain of doubt down the line I'm heir to throne nowhere. I'm scared. Cause, Here's where the train ride ends. Screaming, "is this your decision?" We were the best of friends, I'll go nowhere. This isn't where, This isn't where I found you "Life is such a ball I run the world from city hall" And I own you all. In this, In this Holiday Inn.. Well, Welcome back race fans, it's Cavalcade sport time again. Here at the jamboree, Home of the hits. How you doing Bob? It's the last stretch And my heart.. my heart stays in the lead And we see first, second behind my heart is my mind Third behind my mind is my body. Fourth behind my body is my soul And my heart stays in the lead. Coming around the stretch.. That was a good one Bob. No dutch. "Home is where the heart it is..." "on the bus!" Trailer Park Jesus Put the needle to the record, And hit me with your style, Soon enough I'll, Learn to unload to unload my mouth. Can you feel it's getting blacker, The vibe up in this place When I displaced, What made me turn my face. I can't wait. I jumped ship to a burning sow Had a ball. Atom bomb. It was quite a dirty habit, When the last thing I do, Has a swine slewn, Down martyr avenue. Am I driftwood or hosana? A knee-deep in disease. I'm the body Laid a 9 on my sleeve. I'm a bitch girl. I'm a bitch. I jumped ship to a burning sow Had a ball. Atom bomb. Killed a shark. Atom bomb.. Denial is a river in Egypt. Division is a reunion in the south. Soon enough I'll learn to... Denial is a river in Egypt Allusive as the communion in my mouth. Soon enough I'll learn to... I jumped ship to a burning sow Had a ball. Atom bomb. Atom bomb.. Tell the one About the man who dug Holes so deep He lost sight of his word. Two Tabs Of Mescaline I smell the sound of a growing gash With pop sensibilities. KQED "It's a tune that equals you." I feel Hallelujah I fail, Bulemia; I'm frail. Salting the back of a snail. And... This is worship and this is tribute Crumbling, ripping and failing. Knowing you fit in... And, and, you fit in! Feeding time, An old friend of mine At the leper zoo. Que sera? Erotic hurrah It's cool. Be cool, girl. And... Am i worshipping or am I tributing? Crumbling, ripping and failing. My turkish prison is knowing I fit in. And, and, I fit in! Feeding time, An old friend of mine At the leper zoo, yeah. Que sera? Erotic hurrah With no rescue. It's cool. Be cool, girl. Sailor scent.
