highlow
Now try sayin' somethin' to me, I dare you
When I'm up this high, I can't even hear you
And I'm look look lookin' around
There's nothing here to be found
Except the birds in the sky with their wings
And the feathers everywhere
I'm lookin' by, I'm lookin' around
I'm lookin' down
All I see is an ant on the ground
I'm so high
I'm so low
Confyoused
I thought I was walking away from you
But I was in a room full of mirrors
There was love & hate in each one
And I was confused
What else could I do
But to say I refuse
To say "I do"
'Cause I seriously thought
That you would be amused
Burroughs Comes Out Of The Closet
I'm pulling the gun on you, Dear
Now whatchyou gonna do?
I'm aiming at you head, Honey
Sorry I didn't miss you, I don't miss you
But it's true: I was aiming, I swear I was aiming
For the martini glass, not you
I swear, Joan, I was aiming
For the martini glass, not you
4 Days In A Row
It's starting to get to me
When she opens up her eyes
In the morning, I can't believe
She's still by my side
47. It was like this yesterday
And the day before
If she's here again tomorrow
That'll make it four
4 days in a row
That's the longest I've ever gone
And it's the longest I'll ever go
(repeat)
Because I need to play my guitar
3 Inches
3 inches 3 inches 3 inches 3 inches 3 inches
I want always to be only 3 inches from you
To be able to touch you by simply moving a finger
I want always to be only 3 inches from my destination
When my destination is you
Do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do
But you moved back to Idaho
And I'm sad and I miss you, but
I just can't follow you there
Even though it's only 3 inches on a map
Do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do
Black Cowboy Has An Eyelash Wink For You
I'm sitting here again with my plastic water gun
It makes me feel warm and happy melting in the sun
This is a stick-up man, stand still
Or I'll bore you to death with more horrible swill
It comes from my mind, I don't know how to stop it
Floods out of my mouth, spills to the floor and you mop it
Could see a shrink, but I'd rather think
Thoughts like the above
'Cause Black Cowboy Has An Eyelash Wink For You
Means I love you
Another Victim
It's clear to me like a bright silver Liberace jacket
You never loved me at all
I don't hold you in my arms, but I hold you responsible
You changed my life from light to dark
From smart to art
I hold you in contempt in the court of my heart
Won't you ever stop beat beat beating me?
Bleed bleed bleed bleed bleeding me?
Let me stop stop stop stop needing you
So my eyes can see other than black and blue
And I can get on with my life, find another victim
And start anew
Well, I'm finally through giving in to your sexy lies
Can't picture your face, but I remember your thighs
Like the back of the hand that finally pushed you away
I find myself in a panic waiting for the day
That I'll find a replacement for you
So they can start beat beat beat beating me
Please please please please bleed me
I need someone who needs someone
To make their life black and blue
Let me make a victim out of you
Then we'll break each other
And break up and start anew
Pink Floyd
A Saucerful Of Secrets and Ummagumma
I never understood your songs, Roger
I never understood yours, Syd
Well, at least you liked mine
Yes, I did, I thought they were fine
But wait, why don't you dig on my music?
It really took a lot of time
I guess it seemed you were trying
too hard to be strange like me,
without actually suffering mentally
Let's ask Ken what he thinks
I'd rather listen to the laughter of a madcap
Than visit either side of the moon
The Waters rose too high for too long
And The Piper checked out too soon
But I love the both of you
You bring infinite joy to my life
And I'll try to reach the heights that Roger did
Sometimes it's hard to believe I'd even dare it
I'll probably end up another Syd Barrett
Frankie Machine
Dealer dealer dealer dealer dealer dealer dealer
Dealer dealer dealer dealer dealer dealer dealer
Landing in a sewer of filth, I see
You're always there waiting for me
Always a "friend" when I'm in need
A needle in a haystack indeed
Healer healer healer healer healer healer healer
Healer healer healer healer healer healer healer
There's nothing wrong with the holes in my skin
They're always being filled by him
Don't worry what's going on inside
The only place that's left to hide
Dealer dealer dealer dealer dealer dealer dealer
Healer healer healer healer healer healer healer
Dealer dealer dealer dealer dealer dealer dealer

A Spy On The Inside
I hate all of my "friends"
The ones in my head
They stay up late when I go to bed
They drink, smoke, and curse the atmosphere
I'm trying to get straight, please get out of here
Chorus:
I've got a spy on the inside
He's hip to the scene
He tells me what they do
While I'm asleep
I'm no longer afraid when I'm awake
They're the ones whose lives are at stake
See, I'm a gonna get better or I'm a goner
Chorus
I ain't gonna pay no late fee
Disintegrate these "friends"--finally free
Now I've got some space to rent
Tore up the lease and kicked out my "friends"
Pack yr things up, my new roommate
And move on in before it gets too late
The longer you wait, the sooner I'll realize
That it was actually ME all along that I hate
The Way To Start A Song
Tasting the roof of my mouth
I remember you were here last night
That's the way to start a song
But how can I end it?
When you never stick around
To help me out
I.E. Absent
Cream and blood I love someone
Who lives somewhere far from my home
She's not alone, she's comforted by someone
Who's name I don't want to know
I'm happier than him, though
I'm happier, I'm happier alone
'Cause no one's a fork in my road
Nobody tells me anything I don't know
Nobody tells me anything at all
They're both gonna get fat
And I'm gonna get tall
Sarah, you're the perfect girlfriend
I.e. absent
Absent and easy to love
Control Me
Lips camouflaged by the sparks in your eyes
You spoke a new language that hid true thoughts
And the water appeared to be wine
But I was blind
A bag of beauty for time to chip away on
But underneath a dark rust grows strong
You never knew what to say when I said, "I want you"
Except that I was a plagiarist
So how about "need," what about "love"?
Oh, you'd like that, wouldn't you
A guillotine suspended above
To control me, to control me
Please come and control me
Control me, control me
There's too much danger in letting me roam free
Control me control me control me control me...
If I lose control, you'll never forget me
JONI MITCHELL
I wish I had a Joni Mitchell
To teach me how to write good songs
I think we think alike
Yes, I think we'd get along
Up there, on my roof, underneath the stars
We could talk about how lucky we are to own guitars
Yes, I wish I had a Joni Mitchell
I think I'd enjoy a Joni Mitchell
Everybody needs a Joni Mitchell
And Joni needs a friend
Criminal Minded
Criminal minded
You stand behind it
I peak under the iron curtain
And it parts my heart
Criminal minded
I was blinded
By the spikes from yr failed crucifixion
You weren't interested in my non-fiction
So I wrote you out of my life
Criminal minded
Were you binded
By school, work and my unnatural dependency
Or is it just yr natural tendency
To flee the scene of a crime
With yr criminal mind
Yeah, whoo! Criminal minded
I don't mind it
If we end up handcuffed together
In an 8X10 forever
That would be sublime
We could pick each other's criminal mind
And see what we find
Yeah, whoo!
Everyone's a criminal
Wednesday
Sneaking a glance at Quasimoto
I'm reminded that today is Wednesday
Gotta get up, get up, get over that hump
Get up, get up, get out of that slump
Muddy Waters
Dirt is piling piling up in to my ears
A river is running out out of my eyes
It's Muddy Waters all around
Glue is pumpin' thick through my veins
Dust builds on the inside of my brain
When you find out I have drowned
Just know that it was to your island I was bound
Mud is gonna be rising soon
Mud is good to weigh down your microscopic thought balloons
Smashed
I'm trash, pick me up
But don't throw me away
I could be valuable some day
I'm smashed, pick me up
Don't forget one piece
One day I'll be the sliver stuck in your feet
Can't You Do Anything?
Climbing to the top of the ladder, I'm gonna fall
Won't remember the heights I reached at all
Can't you do anything right? (repeat)
Can't you do anything right but crawl?
Guitar Lesson Lindsay
"everything is just right
when you glimpse the light
of the eye of every burning ember
that holds the souls that pass in out of yr life"
I can do a bad Morrissey impression
But you can't feel like me
You can't sing bad
In my book, nothing you do is wrong
But if you lived a millions years
You couldn't write thissss...
Please don't leave me, Lindsey
Even though I'm not sure how to spell your name
I try to impress, but it ends up a mess
And they always move away
I'm deep in distress with a scrap of your dress
And the memory of an evening
When we tried to be more than friends
Oh, if it's not too late, maybe we could try again
What are you doing right now?
What do you do when you get home from the club
Take a hot bath, do you need your feet rubbed?
'Cause I could be the man for the job
Your apartment says you're a slob
But your clothes say you're clean
And my eyes say I'm keen on a girl
Who can teach me how to play guitar...better
Which will make this a better world
Not that I need a girl to teach me
I mean, I can do it myself
Not that I can't write a song for you to see through
And realize what this is really about
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
What do you say, Guitar Lesson Lindsey?
A Moment Of Bliss
Gettin' the hiccups
Gettin' the hiccups
Gettin' the hiccups
While having sex
Gettin' the hiccups
Gettin' the hiccups
Gettin' the hiccups
A moment of bliss
Because she likes me like this
Erotic and foolish, I could ruin it
If I weren't so damn sexy
Upside down, let me drink you
Hold my breath....and continue
See? Gettin' the hiccups isn't so bad
Any other time, I'd have gotten mad
But now I'll remember the moment forever
Or, at least, until it happens again
Maybe next time I'll get a cramp
And we'll see what happens then
Acid Rain
If the rain wasn't wet, would I be so sad?
If it were tiny balls of plastic, would it be so bad?
If the drops were red and heart-shaped
I'd catch them on the tip of my tongue
And share this little gift with you
To prove that we're still young
But life's not like that
You can keep that acid out of my mouth
I've had it with this climate
It's time we headed south
But if the sun prevents you from joining me
Then I guess I'm gonna have to stay
I'd rather be with you and the rain
Than alone with the sun any day
Lysergic, we can stay inside
No need to change our clothes
But we can change our minds
And the rain will be the only sane
Thing we can feel anymore
A Shadow Of Hope
A conscience: I don't have one
Unconscious: I am a phantom
A haunted house without a soul to spook you
A graveyard at midnight, a little too quiet
A witchdoctor when he's lost his voodoo
A ruined city, but no sign of a riot
When they bury me, they'll be burying bones
I've already traveled beyond your earthly time zones
So fire up your rocket, and aim for a shadow of hope
Robin Hitchcock, Syd Barrett, Roky Erickson, Julian Cope
The Exorcist
I need to exercise my mind at times
I need to exorcise, exorcise
Sometimes it's hard to notice a friend
When you exorcise, you're alone
So maybe I should just let the Devil win
Kenny, Sr.
Kenny, you're the root of it
You're the reason I regret
Being brought in to this world
I am ready to give up
I can't believe that I was spilled
From your overfilling cup
Was your life so unfulfilled?
You had to fill a void
You ran away from a teenage girl
Are you glad now that it was a boy?
Gun...shot...here...
I Love Syd Barrett
I love songs by Tom T. Hall
Summer in to Fall
My girl when she is tired
And Wire
I love beer in frosted mugs
Overfriendly hugs
Motorcycle thugs
And sweaters
I love looking at tomorrow
Without seeing sorrow
Walking in the rain
And vinyl
I love stupid silly songs
Repetitiveness
Sleeping until noon
Repetitiveness
The moon
I love staring in to space
Whiskey with a chase
Rooms above antique stores
And whores
And I love Syd Barrett!
And I don't care who hears it!
And I'd love to shout it!
No doubt about it!
And just one more thing!
That I want to say!
Before I finish this song!
Is that I love long endings!
My Psychiatrist Has Failed
Something's going on with my stereo
It only plays psychedelic songs
The neighbors are wearing rose colored glasses
My family thinks there's something wrong
They can't hear what's in my head
I opened it up and blinded friends
There's too much light
To let life end
My television makes my eyes sore
Halts the visionary mind
You stop looking for anything new
When you find what makes you blind
But I'm not the perfect mate for you
I trip when I follow nonsensical speakers
My speakers are blown and ecstatic
Lyrics are easy when you're sick
Patch me up like a broken guitar
Feed me to your amplifier heart
Strum me 'til I come back for more
Throw me in the fire, burn off my warts
My psychiatrist has failed (repeat)
forgiveness
I killed a person who couldn't love
Did them a favor, sent them above
While I remain in the world
The angels will rescue that poor girl
But I'm no better, I care too much
I use affection as a crutch
I don't want to ever die
Now that I met you, you let me cry
In your arms, and you forgive
You forgive me for your broken mirror
My scarred chest, my fear
My gray hair, my aging face
You kiss the bruises when I fall from grace
If only I could forgive myself
I wouldn't need anyone else
Fragile, Safe and Small
Vomit, I'll hold your hair
Fragile, safe and small
Break me and fix me with a stare
My advice is to you all
A glass of cement and I am full
A glance to the right in a darkened bar
I'm not afraid to say you can pull
The hostaged thoughts from a man at war
A crispy, thoughtful man of the world
Once told me I could find the cure
By simply smiling at a girl
Without blinking or acting demure
So I tried this and fell flat on my face
Another example of my "art"
If you look hard, you can trace
The blood as it ran from my heart
I'll Hold Your Breath
I was caught in her web, her internet
Surprising, how she got her hooks in me
Said I was the biggest she'd landed yet
But there's so many of us left in the sea
Eventually we all get gutted
It's just a matter of time
The ocean looks diamond studded
The tide rises and the salmon climb
A man walks upon the water
Millions follow and slowly sink
Poseidon presents his daughter
Atlantis is just a drink
Away from a blue Heaven
Away from a watery grave
Away from losing our lungs
I'll hold your breath, it's you I'm tring to save
I'd pawn a diamond necklace for some underwater moonlight
A wave of mutilation turns the day into night
Tired of treading, gonna beach myself
Missed me with your net, get your boat off the shelf
And into deeper water
There are whalers out there, looking to slaughter
But I've managed to dodge every harpoon
Waiting for you (X3)
Please come and stick me soon
Whatever Happened To My Rock 'N' Roll (Punk Girl)?
She's becoming prog
And I'm still punk
But we both have hearts of gold
Let's stick together, add some funk
And create a whole new mold
But if it doesn't work out
There's an easy solution to that
You keep the Yes, I'll take The Germs
And we'll split up Adam Ant
Shes' got a new boyfriend
And a new record collection
It all started when we'd go to Amoeba
And end in different sections
But that's alright, 'cause if we can't share music
Then we shouldn't be together
What are we supposed to talk about?
Politics? Weather?
I mean, fuck Genesis, you bitch!
What the Hell happened to you?
You got your arms around King Crimson
But I remember you used to love Husker Du
Kill Yr Parents
This monster's invisible
You can't hide
If you see him you die (X3)
And I can't fight it
Or even try
If I do, he'll just multiply
Swing at the air if you must, you wretched fuck
As blood drips from nowhere--his hidden fangs
You'll pray for one quick final blow
And I'll laugh, what else can I do?
If I turn on him, I'll be dead, too
One of us must stick around for the song to end
The saucers will land soon
And I'll climb aboard with my new friend
Fly off to new worlds
While yr just red 'n' white on brown on blue
Should've joined us
There's no Heaven in science fiction movies
I like thinking out loud
Watching my thoughts run around
Sharing them with the spirits in this abandoned house
Good ghost was abandoned spouse
'Cause bad ghost wanted slave
Arguments create little dark ones
To sleep beside shallow graves
Never found out what they could've been (X2)
Now they're lost in the Devil's maze
Enveloped in retribution
Revenge is a solution, America says 'n' sighs
Don't fool yourself into thinking there are little white lies!
And get yr head outta the oven
You've got people coming over, be polite!
You oughta know by now, anything goes
If you suck as a musician, call yourself an artist
If you write shitty songs, call them abstract
If yr suicidal, kill yr parents--2 birds with one stone
You've proven the fact: Yr better off alone
Something is growing in the back of my throat
The drawbridge is opening over the moat
Four horsemen are racing in to the valley...
Psychedelic Landscape
I'm moving on to a psychedelic landscape
Come on with me now, whatchu really got at stake?
We can be happy in a psychedelic landscape
A pat on the back and a warminfriendly handshake
Have you ever been to a psychedelic landscape?
Everyone's free, so nobody tryin' to escape
We're all friends in a psychedelic landscape
Womeninmen walking nakedinwithout shame
Until we tame our electric surges
We'll have to give in to our animal uges
And speed on towards that colorful place
I will guide you through the haze
'Cause I'm already livin' in a psychedelic landscape
I know you'll show up soon, you've been just runnin' a little late
Time stands still in a psychedelic landscape
So there's no hurry, I got things to do while I wait
No more hang-ups
No more headaches
No more hang-ups
No more headaches
Little Train
I brought myself back down to the ground
With what used to get me high
Oh, how ironic
Guess I'll have to keep on trying
IthinkIcanIthinkIcanIthinkIcanIthinkIcan
Morphine
I need to get up
Grab my guitar
Morph in to a magician
And play my song
Slipping sideways in to daydream
A shadowy figure, fuzzy at the edges
My life is ripping slowly at the seams
There has to be a better way to catch his
Attention!
Mr. Invisible
I need more of yr magic thrill
They'll all say, "What happened to this
kid is tragic," 'til they find the morphine in his...
Scrape off some dust
From yr mind paved with gold
And sprinkle it on my soul
Too hilarious, the two of us
Tangled hair and furrowed brow
We practice our vowels
Don't Marry Mother
"Don't marry mother," I said to a coffee can
"You'll end up in the Ku Klux Klan"
"Don't marry mother," I said to the Ku Klux Klan
"You'll end up in a coffee can"
Don't marry mother
Don't marry mother
Don't marry mother
There are plenty ofthers
'Cause mothers are mothers
and girls are girls
and boys are boys
and sons are lovers
Oh no!
"Don't marry mother," I said to a coffee can
"You'll end up in the Ku Klux Klan"
"Don't marry mother," I said to the Ku Klux Klan
"You'll end up in a coffee can"
Don't marry mother
A mother will smother
The flames of desire
And you'll be in dire
Need of a girl
To rescue the boy
Who can build a new fire
And burn up his toys
But I'm sure you will do something wrong
You'll lose the girl and end up with mother
You should've listened a little closer
To you're own song
Bad Trip
(no lyrics, just words)
Sensitive Eyes
Your tyranny keeps the tears in me
You've imprisoned my soul
And the monkey on my back
Won't fetch me the key
Hard to ignore a greasy paw
Speckled with tiny drops of blood
And nibble bite marks on your ear
A country road, a desert island
A hidden wormhole in the vast universe
Is where my ability to think has disappeared
A hardwood floor, a paper plate
A banana peel is what you stand on
When you want to slip between
The overlapping gentle waves of time
A queer way to go:
She locked herself inside her icebox
Expired with the milk
Like a dull robot, like a cancelled check
Like a psychiatrist's trick
That makes you think you're sick
But she ain't crazy
And neither am I[?]
We just have very sensitive eyes
They've dried out our lives
Scantron Mind
Analog to digital
You're no longer physical
Grown cold
Moved on without me
I couldn't change to keep abreast
My #2 is fading fast
Guess that I have failed yr test
My marks not strong enough to last
On yr scantron mind
I remember you were kind
Sad eyed, soulful, and lonely
But now you got a million "friends" on the net
It was better when we were the only
Ones to laugh at our jokes
Now it's time to get fishing myself
Or continue to get poked
By the hook that you left on my line
I don't like to think you were a waste of my time
But you were
Ghosts
Ahhhh...the smoke comes in
And I don't know what happened
Happened to the boy with dreams and aspirations
Must've been an apparition
I don't believe in ghosts
My Mind On You
It's hard to stop habits
It's hard to stop blowing to bits
My mind on you
My mind on you
It's confused and it can't wait
Forgets the difference 'tween love and hate
My mind on you
My mind on you
I'm sure you haven't got a clue
But I got my mind on you
Right noooooww!
And it's haaaaarrd!
Right noooooww!
It's hard to stay silent and still
Can't spell violence without love and I'm ill
When I got my mind on you
When I got my mind on you
There's nothing I won't do
When I got my mind on you
Steal, murder, take the latest concoction
Might as well put my head up for auction
When I'm feeling this way at night
Cut and bruised from a drunken fight
With myself over you
I gotta get away from you
When I got my mind on you
I gotta get away from you
Right now!
Through The Slot Of The Front Door To
The Universe I Am Tossed: Junk Mail
White hot, I never pretended to be
Coal black inside is me

Ahh Ahhh, Ahh Ahhh
Ahh Ahhh, Ahh Ahhh

Bored To Death
Bored to death
I'm bored by thee
Bored to death
You're boring me
Bored to death
Bury me
(repeat)
Along the gutter I spy an eye
The realization: we'll all die
An empty socket never cries
Laughing people without lives
In darkness you grow to despise
Envious of living lies
Bored to death
I'm bored by thee
Bored to death
You're boring me
Bored to death
Bury me
The American ritual moves on
The American ritual moves on
The American ritual
The death of individual
The American ritual
The death of individual
A hard and old, hollowed throat
A crusty, urine-infested coat
A sea of filth, a wayward boat
You Thought You Were Alone
Well, I scampered quietly in to the room
So I could see what you do
What you do when yr alone in yr house
You thought you were alone
But I was the mouse
And I was watching you
I was taking notes
But I'm not ashamed of what you do
Cause now I've grown up and I do it, too
I don't mind what I saw
Cause don't we all
Now that I am older, I no longer see
What you do when yr not with me
It's hard to be a man in love
And leave you to yr privacy
To do the things you do
Even though I do it, too
I wouldn't mind if you were watching me
So why do you run when you find me in yr room?
What do you think yr gonna do with that broom?
Nothing From No One
It's hard to keep coming here
To the one that wants nothing from no one
Though she's here tonight
Tommorrow she'll want nothing from no one
I go there to try to make her see
I return alone at the end of the night
She doesn't need a ride
She doesn't need a light
She doesn't need me
She says she needs to live her life
So what exactly the fuck does that mean?
If I fell to the floor, offered my heart
She'd pick me up, say, "You've gone too far.
It's not you, it's me. Why this can't happen is a mystery.
I have to have my misery."
And she knows I love her for that
That makes me want her more
She knows that makes me want her more
That fucking "NO"
That fucking "NO" is the worst
I love her, she loves misery
That's my fucking curse
She thinks that she has little to offer
But all I want is something softer
Than these bottles lined up around me
Emptied to drown in
Broken to bleed
Oh, who am I to think I'm better than you?
I'm in love with misery, too
Female vocal: If I found someone to love me
I think I would go insane
And force them to try and save me
That's just the way I am
That's just the way I am
Male vocal: That's just the way I am
That's just the way I am
Male & Female vocal: That's just the way I am
That's just the way I am

If she wants nothing from no one
She'll get nothing from me
It's the least that I could give her
Look what she's given to me
If I were successful, and she was my girl
These songs wouldn't come so naturally
So continuously, proficiently
Pouring out of me and in to the world
You'll get nothing from me, World
She wanted nothing, so you'll get nothing
Won't have to deal with me anymore, World

The Ghosts Of Moths
The ghosts of moths are keeping me awake
Fluttering in my head
Causing me to shake
Luring me to their light
I gotta think of a sweater
I gotta get better please
To get rid of them, I'm gonna have to sneeze
Ahem
Memories of mammaries
My mother fed life to me
But when I look below the neck
At girls, I'm looking at their feet
As they walk away from me
Parkingsins Disease
People have to fill in the spaces
When they talk to me
It's just like parking
A sin
Disease
Snake Charmer
Unbeknownst to the charmer
The snake has charmed you
Unbeknownst to the charmer
The snake has charmed you
And we both get bitten
We both get bitten...
A Guided By Voices Song
Michael's a magnet for
Bleeding heart and
Boring sand witches
Driving's easy
With Sleazy
And April shower's ignore
Catchphrase and Caulfield
Our golden child awakes
From nightmare
Sinking ships of disease
Screams head for the shore
Warning Signs
If the ground moves beneath you
When you kiss
It's because some one's watching above
God doesn't want you to fall in love
Don't Dine With The Devil
Don't accept a beverage from Beelzebub
It'll burn a hole in yr soul
If I had something to offer you, I would
Don't dine with The Devil
He overcooks everything
If you can settle for a salad, you probably should
Satan's a deceiver
You will get no gravy
Instead of mashed potatos
He will mash yr toes
The Devil's not a master chef
God won't do yr dishes
Toss a million coins
But you'll never get yr wishes
Don't make friends
Don't make friends
Don't make friends with immortals
(repeat)
But don't laugh at the man
Who thinks that he can
Don't chortle at the one
Who keeps a place behind the sun
That's the clone of Jesus
Trying to feed us
Like a twitching fetus
Mentally Challenged
Mentally challenged
But I always come out on top
Because I let music take over my life
Over my love for you
And now I'm a superstar
Pile the powder high on top of my plate
Open up the window sky and show me to my chair
Where I can sit and look down at my enormous feet
And drool thick rain on the non-believers
The inexperienced, who lack the mental grip holds
To climb to the furthest gaseous globule
Floating inside of their mind
It took an eye drop of his celestial lake
And a year in bed to find beauty
A carpenter can show you his shed
But I have a higher duty
When you come back, we'll hold hands in a fountain
Our pores sharing what our mouths can't explain
Love is simple, love is harmful
If you don't learn to do it correctly
And hate is a nest of gnats
Getting in yr eyes where truth hides
It's a battle just to look in a mirror
Look out, what's coming up behind you
Biography
"In and out of mental institutions"
I think will be used
To describe the 2nd half of my life
He did this, he did that
He did this, he did that
He did this, he did that
He did this, he did that
