A Brand New Friend

true
I said I
I would sell all
all my stuff
to
to the man
hairy fingers
swollen face
neon boys meet
robot girls meet
us at day
in the dark
you bet I’ve done all I can
to sneak out out out
a brand new friend
neon boys meet
robot girls meet
a brand new friend
a brand new ...

100 Times
04:09
|

you’ve tried to wake me up a 100 times or more
my legs are lame and your lips are sore
will you try just once more
to get the things you came here for
some of the things that you did were so wonderful
but most of the things that you did were not so wonderful
not so wonderful
the pillow burns
the blanket turns its back on me
the further I sink
the more I dream of ecstasy
will you try just once more
to get the thing you came here for
some of the things that you did were so wonderful
but most of the things that you did were not so wonderful

A Quick Guide To Life
04:52
|

make it worth your while
every time you come
sugar on your eyes
watering love
your assistent is so disappointed with her life
let’s assist her to a higher plane
do we still know the way
forestry at night
it scares me every time
I don’t know what’s wrong
with what’s right
you can search the dry earth
anything you find
it is yours and mine
diving for pearls
the next line is not suited for you at all
so I’ll just leave this blank
I hope it’s ok
since we’re on this isle
been writing all the time
a quick guide to life
it takes forever
let it take forever
it takes forever
let it take forever

To Fall
02:39

pictures of a lady
pinned onto his fridge door
laying dead still on the
roof of a car
oh, the roof of a car
I’m too sad to tell you
the story of a man who
got so good at falling
he fell straight through the sea
oh, at the straits you see
he planned on doing better
but then his fall was broken
he hit some pedestrians
killing five or six
oh, I heard he’s still around
oh, he takes his limp to town

baby girl
don’t you know that
the stairs are steep and laced with fat
two hundred men with baseball bats
still marching in that dream you had
two doors to open
which one to choose
the pink-eyed ape, the lightbulb tree
and if I ask
what’s this
what’s that
will you make up words, use your hands to talk
teach me how not to believe you
teach me how not to walk away from everything I love
teach me how not to believe you
teach me how not to walk away from everything I love
I love you I love you I love you I love you
I love you I love you I love you I love you
I love you I love you I love you I love you

Daily Routines
04:21

I make a lot of noise but I don’t really go anywhere
I wake up tired, then I sleepwalk through the day
to get things done I send some letters to my future self
but when they come back I just throw the words away
need to make it through the night and through the day
mama, mama, are they saying bad things about me
let me ask you to come along
to dream of something
that is bigger than all of us
you can all just sing along
raise your hand if you are here with me
the sun is out
the salt, it stings a little on my lips
I do want to work but this coffee’s in my way
the fear is here
it’s slowly getting the best of me
I jump up
and see myself sitting down again

Gentle Girls
04:58
|

may I
come near
and stay while
I forget
forget about you
and all because
I'd rather
die than talk about me
talk talk about me
do not be a man about it
try to grow some ovaries
kiss the feet of every girl in your town
so much fun to get confused
by ladyboys and gentle girls
how I wish we'd let it all go
aging outlaws
run from their backaches
never never come back
wait for life to start and
take me to that pool
you all like to swim in

The Skeleton Key
03:20
|
|||
always halfway
but I'm doing ok
I ought to confess
I mean more or less
okay
I paddle
I swim
to get to the brim
to get a good look
at the recipe book you wrote me into
I dream of beds
where we can finally lay and rest
is this as close we’ll ever get
invented guilt
it takes a lifetime to digest
I don’t think we ever will
the skeleton key
it won’t work on me
the swiss army knife
that once saved your life
is now worthless
she rewrites my jokes
just adding fog to the smoke
well, she did get across
and I’m once again lost in logic
I dream of beds
where we can finally lay and rest
is this as close we’ll ever get
invented guilt
it takes a lifetime to digest
I dream of beds
where we can finally lay and rest
I didn’t think we’d ever go
sit back and let life take you
to where you never really
wanted to go

yeah, I study the face
of every woman in here
is that a tear
I say some words and you look my way
I find it hard to believe
you don’t need anyone’s help
you say
you’re just fine being depressed
the bullet strays
it comes your way
if all goes wrong
we can dance to your favorite songs
but then I’m here
and you can’t care
for words you’ve heard
so many times
you’ve lost count
my heart beats so fast
it beats for us together
this might not be true, but
it sure is pumping harder than ever
my heart beats so fast
it beats for us together
it tries to tell you that
you’re free
dead mice in the sink
junk stacked on the bed
oh, no
you don’t feel like moving an inch
I’m painting your house pink
oh, I can see what you think
you say
all is fine but you look half dead

honesty laid in bed
with both her eyes closed
she thought she could change everything
by just rearranging her thoughts
trying to unsee the things she saw
god serves apples, man bites dog
and she could not be more afraid
looking for friends in a magazine
what kind of friends do you really need
with melt-in-your-mouth certainty she filled the room with words
the sounds muffled by the many plants surrounding her
they said run and hide if you can
well, I tried but I can’t do both at the same time
looking for friends in a magazine
what kind of friends do you really need
man, I want to go out and hurt myself
why is pain that important to me
oh, let me swim and sway with your slippery dancing queen
I can handle a nosedive most every day
looking for friends in a magazine
what kind of friends do you really need
looking for friends in a magazine
