Aimless Device * Alphaville * Artery * Birthday Party * Brilliant *

Aimless Device

Better off Cold * From the First Move to the Fuck * Two's A Crowd *
 
Better off Cold
Trying to sleep is not so easy
When open eyes the room enclose
The paper on the wall goes crazy
Figures on the floor
I need a drink, need a drink to forget
I'd be better off cold
 
Someone's telling the story of my life
And raves about a shattered past
Funny faces fill the room
I open the window to get it over with
Cold air, cold air and I shiver
I'd be better off cold
 
When I'm drunk I'm alright
But its just when I've forgotten
In the morning
Better off cold
Than listening to this crap
Every time my common sense tells me
I'd be better off cold
 
Tommorow will be question time
And stupid shame is taking over
When waking up is just a word
To see a ____(?)
In Gold daylight, like blaring me apart
When everything is black and white
I'd be better off cold
 
When I'm drunk I'm alright
But its just when I've forgotten
In the morning
Better off cold
Than listening to this crap
Every time my common sense tells me
I'd be better off cold.
 
From the First Move to the Fuck
I saw it coming
No doubt like before
At the very last moment
Passed away as you crawled on the floor
A little tension
A little stir
My hand reached out to take your hand
To push my little girl
 
I had a heart for you
I had it under my sleeve but it got stuck
I guess broke somewhere
Somewhere between your beauty
And my crying shame
Somewhere between the first move and the fuck
 
I tried to think it over
God knows I tried to score
But I saw it coming
No doubt, not like before
A bitter freshness
A little itch
Now I'm a three year old again
Dying for a kiss
 
I had a heart for you
I had it under my sleeve
But it got stuck
I guess it broke somewhere
Somewhere between your beauty
And my crying shame
Somewhere between the first move and the fuck
 
Somewhere between (x2)
 
I tried to think it over
God knows I tried to score
But I saw it coming
No doubt, not like before
I tried to keep it out of sight
I tried to sleep, I tried to hide
Until you came along
And I've never felt so wrong
 
I had a heart for you
I had it under my sleeve
But it got stuck
I guess it broke somewhere
Somewhere between your beauty
And my crying shame
In between the first move and the fuck
 
Somewhere between (x3)
In between the first move and the fuck
 
 
Two's A Crowd
You're wearing blue tonight
And smoke is in your lies
You feed me black and blue
With reasons of another time
Don't bother
I was just a scratch
Everythings been said and done
Theres nothing more to hatch
 
Funny, I can't recall
Us seeing the perfect past
My memory's been blown away
Like shrapnel in the blast
But I'm okay
Thank god, I'm a fool
I'm okay
I'm allowed to be cruel
 
Hey, I'm a second hand caress
Hey, Sorry if you're disappointed
Hey, I'm a second hand caress
And two's a crowd when you're around now
 
What can I say to you
I've nothing left to hide
Should I smile and tell you
That I'm yours till the end of time
Sorry, theres no love in still life
I've got to turn around
Now baby, wallow in my quiet life
 
Hey, I'm a second hand caress
Hey, Sorry if you're disappointed
Hey, I'm a second hand caress
And two's a crowd when you're around now
 
Hey, and two's a crowd when you're around now
And two's a crowd when you're around nowww....
 
 
 
Alphaville
 
A Victory of Love
Waiting for a change in the weather
I'm waiting for a shift in the air
Could we get it together, ever?
Hoping for your return
Hoping for your sweet, sweet return
 
"Hello?"
Is this her calling
"Hello? Hello?"
Is sombody there?
She whispers somewhere
And then she says "Hello? Hello?
She's really an angel
She stands in the sunshine
She's closing her eyes, shes starting to dream
She's pulling the strings
She's dreaming the strange dream
Where nothing is gray
And she takes me away, and she's pulling the strings
When she's playing with love
"Hello? Hello?"
 
She's playing with love!
"Hello, Hello? (x6)
 
Counting (counting counting counting...)
I count every second
And I'm standing (standing standing standing..)
I stand in the rain (the rain...)
I walk up that lane
That leads to the sunshine
She stands in the sunshine
She's closing her eyes
Then she takes me away
And she's pulling the strings
When she's playing with love
 
She's playing with love
"Hello, Hello?" (x6)

Artery

In the Garden

Try to explain,
The best the way I can.
Trying to cover,
Every reason.
Why Peter and I,
Took your identical twin sister,
Into the garden.

The smell of sex,
Blended with the scent of the flowers.

That was swept away by the wind.
In a matter of seconds

Why are there tears?
It could have been you.

Peter was weak,
He wanted you more than her.

But even he had had written,
“You can hardly tell the difference.”

When we went back indoors,
Your photographs seen there to stare.

As if in disagreement with the recent events.

I know very little about the distance between the stars…..

Or about the motives of thieves.

But I can always smell the summer coming….

At the latest, by early spring.

Grinning at me from hip to hip

Sharks-fin slices sugar-bed slices that pretty red-head

A Dead Song

Mister forever said nothing said

Hit it! make it a dead one
With words like with words like
Blood and soldier and mother

Which is most impolite

Then I could get
All the little animals out of my room

Big Jesus Trash Can

Fucking rotten business this
Both feet in the bad-boot
Stiff in the crypt, babay, like a rock
Rock-rock-rock

And he’s got greasy hair wears a suit of gold
But God gave me sex appeal

Deep in the Woods
Mmmmmmmmmm...

The woods eats the woman and dumps her honey-body in the mud
Her dress floats down the well and it assumes the shape of the body of a
Little girl

Yeah I recognize that girl
She stumbled in some time last loneliness
But I could not stand to touch her now
My one and onlyness.

Deep in the woods
Deep in the woods
Deep in the woods a funeral is swinging.

Worms make their cruel design
Saying d-i-e into her skin
Saying dead into belly and death into shoulder
Well last night she kissed me but than death was upon her.

Deep in the woods
Deep in the woods yeah
Deep in the woods a funeral is swinging.

Now the killed waits for the killer
And the trees all nod their heads, they are agreed
This knife feels like a knife feels like a knife that feels like it’s feed.
Yeah I recognize that girl
I took her from rags right through to stitches (pray for me now)
Oh baby, tonight we sleep in separate ditches.

Deep in the woods
Deep in the woods yeah
Deep in the woods a funeral is swinging.

Love is for fools and all fools are lovers
It’s raining on my house and none of the others
Love is for fools and God knows I’m still one
The sidewalks are full of love’s lonely children (x3)
The sidewalks are full of love’s ugly children
(oh baby let’s go, ah pray for me baby, pray for me baby)
The sidewalk regrets that we had to kill them

Dumb Europe

On this european night out on the brink
The cafes and the bars still stink
The air is much too thick for seeing
But not thick enough for leaning
I leave in a catatonic crawl
And if I die tonight then throw me in
Some bleak teutonic hole
Six feet under with a snap-frozen soul
And really we could all just die of shame
Dumb europe, dumb europe, dumb europe.

Oh the utopian night on the brink
Mama’s face staring up at me from the bottom of the sink
Witness my trail of destruction
Trying to leave this drinking place
My feet are magnetised for furniture
The floor’s attracted to my face
And if I die tonight
Sell me as some pre-historic bone
A lump of junk-souvenir for jap
To fob off on his friends back home
The money-dance...
I find it hard to cope with days like this. pass the bottle etc.
Dumb europe, dumb europe, dumb europe.

On this european night out on the brink
The cafes and the bars still stink
The air is much too thick for seeing
But not thick enough for leaning
I leave in a catatonic crawl
And if I die tonight then throw me in
Some bleak teutonic hole
Six feet under with a snap-frozen soul
And really we could all just die of shame
Dumb europe, dumb europe, dumb europe...

Fears of Gun
Gun wears his alcoholism well
Finger in bottle and swingin’ it still
From bed to sink and back again
Clock is crawlin’ round the same
He’s bustin’ clock (he hates it’s face)
Just sittin’ and talkin’ to heart and ticks
Talkin’ back to clock in slow and studied kicks
The fears of gun are the fears of everyone.

Fingers down the throat of love
Fingers down the throat of love
Fingers down the throat of love
Love! love!

Gun does the waltz around the room
Collecting table and chairs and sofa and so on and so on
Gun wears his best blue suit, now let’s take to the sky
’we’ll go dancin’ and eatin’ it up
Get a bottle and push it on down’
And let’s just beat it up
Transistor radio plays an overwhelmingly sad and lonely song
Saying ’where she gone? where she gone? ’
The fears of gun are the fears of everyone.

Fingers down the throat of love (x3)
Love! love!

 
Figure of Fun
Wow! uh oh

I am a figure of fun
Dead-pan and moribund
All the things I do are better left undone
I am the figure of fun

And I baked in the sun
I have no luck in love
I have no luck in anything
I am a figure of fun

And I’m impressed by everyone
But I impress no-one
It’s irritating
I am a figure of fun

Rock!

I am a figure of fun
I have money
But money isn’t everything to a figure of
Fun fun fun fun fun fun...


Happy Birthday
It’s a very happy day
We are at lots of fun fun fun
And it’s ice-cream and jelly
And a punch in the belly
How much can you throw over the walls?

And see how his face glows
It’s a bike! what a surprise.
It’s a big bike. what a big surprise.
It’s a red bike. what a red surprise.
Oh, what a surprise.

But the best thing there
But the best thing there
Was the wonderful dog chair
Was the beautiful dog chair
That could count right up to ten
It could count right up to ten
It went woof, woof, woof, woof, woof,
Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof.

And it’s another happy day.
He was born eleven years ago
And this year it’s long trousers
And a very smart tie.
Just think in five years he’ll be shaving.

And see how his face glows
It’s a bike. what a surprise!
It’s a samurai sword.
What a metal surprise.
He’ll remember this day for the rest of his life.

But the best thing there
But the best thing there
Is that fabulous dog chair
The immaculate dog chair
That could count right up to eleven

It could count right up to eleven
It went woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof,
Woof, woof, woof.

But the best thing there
But the best thing there
Was my darling the dog chair
But the rampaging dog chair
That could count right up to eleven
It could count right up to eleven.

And it went round and round the house

 

Hamlet
H! a! m! l! e! t! yeah...

Hamlet’s fishing in the grave
A-fishing in the grave
Thru the custard bones and stuff
He ain’t got no friend in there
No he ain’t got no friend in there
I believe our man’s in love
Hamlet got a gun-now
He wears a crucifix
He wears a crucifix
Pow pow pow pow/pow pow pow pow

Moves so beautiful
Walking thru the flowers
Waving to the people

Lying in the shadows

He likes the look of that cadillac
And now he wants that cadillac
Pow pow pow pow/pow pow pow pow
Is this love some kinda love

Now he’s comin’ down my street
Crawling up my stairs

Ho-Ho

Worn and gnawn
A little hole
Just a small hole
Letting in a sick wind
In a small puffs

Yo-ho-hole
Yo-ho-hole
Through which blow
A small sick wind
Yo-ho-hole
Yo-ho-hole
Puff puff
The sick wind blows

Slipping stitches leading to
So slight a hole
Slipping in a sick wind
Slippery sickly wind

Yo-ho-hole
Yo-ho-hole
Across the threshole
A little sick wind
Yo-ho-hole
Yo-ho-hole
Yo-ho
The sick wind blows

Jennifer's Veil
So you’ve come back for jennifer
You know, she hides her face behind a veil
I’m warning you frankie, leave on the next train
Your jennifer she just isn’t the same
Quit waving that thing about! come back!
Come back and give me a chance to explain
Your baby will never cry again.

So don’t try to reach out
And don’t let the ship’s flag down
Point the figure-head at the storm
And drive her hard upon
Don’t stop and don’t stop
And don’t let the veil drop
(another ship ready to sail--the rigging is tight
Tight like jennifer’s veil).

She drew the curtain on her face
Ever since they came and burnt the old place down
Why is she searching through the ashes?
Why, only jennifer knows that now.
And the officer, without a word,
Left all his junk and just moved out.

So don’t try to reach out
And don’t let the ship’s flag down
Point the figure-head at the glass
Smash! smash! into shards
Don’t stop and don’t touch!
And don’t let the veil drop...behind jennifer’s veil

Oh god! frankie! is that really you!
Get back! don’t reach out!
Get back, and get that lantern out of my room!

Don’t try to reach out
And don’t let the ship’s flag down
Down, down over her, like a shroud

And let her sail on the sea like a stone.
Don’t touch and don’t touch
And don’t let the veil drop
Another ship ready to dock...the rigging comes loose...

Junkyard
I am the king. I am the king. I am the king.

One dead marine through the hatch
Scratch and scrape this heavenly body
Every inch of winning skin
There’s junk in honey’s sack again

Chorous: Honey honey honey honey honey
Come on and kiss me-e-e-e-e-e
Honey honey honey honey honey
Honey-child’s takin’ over this place

Two dead marines standing in a line
Drink to me! this heavenly body
Every inch of winning thing

Hack hack hack hack this heavenly
Yack yack yack yack yack goes junk-face
Scratch scrape scratch this winning skin
There’s junk in honey’s sack again
There’s junk in honey’s sack again
There’s junk in honey’s sack again
Junk in honey junk in honey
Junkyard king junkyard king
King king king king king

Just You and Me
First: I tried to kill it with a hammer
Thought that I could lose
The head
Sure! we’ve eaten off the silver
(when even food was against us)
And then I tried to kill it in the bed
Second: I gagged it with a pillow
But awoke the nuns inside
My head
They pounded their goddy-goddy fists
(from the inside - so from the outside)
I got good: I stuck it. dead
Thirdly: I put my lips upon it
And blew a frost across
Its flat
I wrote upon it’s outside-surface
Tonite we’re on the outside-surface
Just you and me girl: you and me and the fat

 
Kewpie Doll
Well I love that kewpie doll
Well I love that kewpie doll
Well I love that kewpie doll
Yeah I bought her in a show
I dressed her up in a cheap red cotton dress
But everything was either fished-out or spat-out
Fished-out or spat-out
Well I love that kewpie doll
But I could not make it stick
Well I love that kewpie doll
But I could not make it stick
Only she could save my soul
She put her hands inside of me
Well I love that kewpie doll
Dressed her in a cheap-red-cotton-dress
Fished it out now spat it out now
Spat it out in front of me
Well I love that kewpie doll
But I could not make it stick
Doll doll doll doll doll doll doll doll
I held her in my cheap arms
She believed in me, she believed in me
Her soul and my arms
Well I love that kewpie doll
I told her phoney stories
Well I love that kewpie doll
She believed in me
Doll doll doll doll doll doll doll doll
Kewpie on a stick
I can see her coming even now
Kewpie on a stick
I can see her walking to me even now
Well I love that kewpie doll
I can see her walking to me even now
Well I love that kewpie doll
I can see her walking to me even now
Well I love that kewpie doll
But I could not make it stick. end

Yer! oh! yer!

Kiss Me Black
Hey-hey-hey-hey
Now they put the stink on us
Throw us to the sucubus
Fed us to the incubus
And brung in the saprophagus
C’mon and kiss me black
Black as the pit in which you found me

She’s like a dog you have to kick her
Sleeps like a swastica
And says ’everyone’s a winner now
Cos everyone’s a sinner now’
C’mon and kiss me black
C’mon and sail your ships around me
C’mon and kiss me black
Black as the sea in which you drowned me
C’mon and kiss me black
Run your crusty cutless through me
C’mon and kiss me black
Kiss me black and then undo me.

Mr. Clarinet

I have a friend in you, oh Mr. Clarionet

You make me laugh, and then cry like the song of the clarinet
Marry me, marry me alive O
I put on my coat of trumpets
WIll she be there? Is my piccolo on straight?
 
Her white stockings and red dress that goes
Swish, swish swish around her legs of lace
Marry me, marry me alive O
 
Could you tell her
Would you tell her for me, oh Mr Clarinet
That I love her, oh love her
I love her but I cannot wait.
 
Marry me, marry me alive O
Oh maybe, oh maybe lie down
 
I love her, love her, love her
Love her, love her, love her, love her
 
Mutiny in Heaven
Well ah jumpt! and fled this fucken heap on doctored wings
Mah flailin pinions, with splints and rags and crutches!
(damn things nearly hardly flap)
Canker upon canker upon one million tiny punctures
That look like...
Long thin red ribbons draped across the arms of a lil mortal girl
(like a ground -plan of hell)
Curse these smartin strings! these fucken ruptures!
Enough! enough is enough!
(if this is heaven ah’m bailin out)
If this is heaven ah’m bailin out
Ah caint tolerate this ol tin-tub
So fulla trash and rats! felt one crawl across mah soul
For a seckon there , as thought as wassa back down in the ghetto!
(rats in paradise! rats in paradise!)
Ah’m bailin out! there’s a mutiny in heaven!

Ah wassa born...
And lord shakin, even then was dumpt into some icy font,
Like some great stinky unclean!
From slum-chuch to slum-church, ah spilt mah heart
To some fat cunt behind a screen...

Evil poppin eye presst up to the opening
He’d slide shut the lil perforated hatch...at night mah body
Blusht
To the whistle of the birch
With a lil practice ah soon learnt to use in on mahself
Punishment? ! reward!! punishment? ! reward!!
Well, ah tied on...percht on mah bed ah was...
Sticken a needle in mah arm...

Ah tied off! fucken wings burst out mah back
(like ah was cuttin teeth!!)
Ah took off!!!
(rats in paradise! rats in paradise!)
There’s a mutiny in heaven!

Oh lord, ah git down on mah knees
(ah git down on mah knees and start to pray)

Wrapped in mah mongrel wings, ah nearly freeze
In the howlin wind and drivin rain
(all the trash blowin round ’n’ round)
From slum-heaven into town
Ah take mah tiny pain and rollin back mah sleeve
(roll anna roll anna roll anna roll)
Ah yank the drip outa mah vein! utopiate! ah’m bailin out!
Utopiate!
If this is heaven ah’m bailin out!
Mah threadbare soul teems with vermin and louse
Thoughts come like a plague to the head...in god’s house!
Mutiny in heaven!
(ars infectio forco dio)
To the plank!
(rats in paradise! rats in paradise!)
Ah’m bailin out!
(hail hypuss dermio vita rex!)
Hole inna ghetto! hole inna ghetto!
(scabio murem per sanctum...dio, dio, dio)

If you wear that dress again
(I’ll have one more drink, my friend)
Where my heart is kept on ice
And prayers burst into flames
Prayers on fire

 
Release the Bats
Whooah bite! whooah bite!
Release the bats. release the bats
Don’t tell me that it doesn’t hurt.
A hundred fluttering in your skirt
(don’t tell me that it doesn’t hurt)

My baby is alright
She doesn’t mind a bit of dirt
She says ’horror vampire bat bite’
She says ’horror vampire
How I wish those bats would bite’
Whooah bite! bite!

Release the bats! release the bats!
Pump them up and explode the things
Her legs are chafed by sticky wings
(sticky sticky little things).

My baby is a cool machine
She moves to the pulse of her generator
Says damn that sex supreme.
She says damn that horror bat
Sex vampire, cool machine

Release the bats! release the bats!
Release them!

Baby is a cool machine
She moves to the pulse of her generator
Says damn that sex supreme.
She says, she says damn that horror bat
Sex horror sex bat sex sex horror sex vampire
Sex bat horror vampire sex
Cool machine
Horror bat. bite!
Cool machine. bite!
Sex vampire. bite!


Say A Spell

Turn to my eyes so I may still you
Snatching such a vision burns a shape into me
Yet another hole, yet another hole in this infested soul
In this infested soul

Could I keep you, keep you, keep you, keep you
Here in my pocket, and hang you out and show around?
Not much, not too much, oh let it ring
Oh let it ring oh let it ring wow! let it ring...

And maybe in time I could change
And I would try to be you and I would kill to be good
Until then, let’s be eye to eye to eye to eye to eye

So say a spell, so say a spell

She's Hit
There is woman - pie in here
Mr. evangelist says she’s hit
The best cook ya ever had
Ya can’t blame the good woman now, dad
And ya locked him up for twenty years
Now there’s action on the basement stairs now
A monster half-man half-beast grind
Hear the hatchet (grind grind)
The pilgrim gets one hacked daughter
And all we get are forty hack reporters
Uptown one hundred skirts are bleeding
And mr. evangelist says

She’s hit ev’ry little bit
She’s hit ev’ry little bit
She’s hit ev’ry little bit
She’s hit she’s hit she’s hit she’s hit

Now if only we could all grow wings and fly
Sweet hatchet swing low son
I’m feeling mighty lonesome
Christen the bastard jack dad
The head-shrinker is a quack
Anyone ’anyone who’d wear their hair like that’
The vinyl is so cool but the conversation’s cruel
Hold my head romeo it’s in a rodeo
Hold my heart daddy-o it just won’t go-o-o-o
Hold my heart romeo it’s in a rodeo
Hold my head daddy-o it just won’t go-o-o-o
And all the girls across the world
And all the girls across the world

Are hit ev’ry little bit
She’s hit ev’ry little bit (x3)
She’s hit she’s hit she’s hit she’s hit
And she won’t get up
She’s hit ev’ry little bit she’s hit
She’s hit she’s hit she’s hit yeah
She’s hit she’s hit she’s hit
And she won’t get up! and she’s hit she’s hit
She’s hit ev’ry little bit
She’s hit she’s hit she’s hit

Goodbye.

 
Sometimes Pleasure Heads Must Burn
BU-U-U-U-U-U-U-RN! Pop! Pop!
BU-U-U-U-U-U-U-RN! Pop! Pop!
I reckon I'm a bit too close to this one
I reckon if I touch it might just burn
Flesh-heads like me just wax and melt
When my tongue tuches titty's tongue in turn
Sometimes pleasure head must burst
BU-U-U-U-U-U-U-RN! Pop! Pop!
BU-U-U-U-U-U-U-RN! Pop! Pop!
My brain tricked my hands to believe they were strong
In short, my hands became clubs to grind
I reckon I'm a bit too close to this one
Kiss me darling, kiss my eyes to blind
Kiss my clubs and witness what my knuckles find
BU-U-U-U-U-U-U-RN! Pop! Pop!
BU-U-U-U-U-U-U-RN! Pop! Pop!
I feel a little low, you know what I mean?
Buried neck-high in British snow
Shoot me darling, shoot me in the head and go
Ya! Ya! Teeth gone. Follow my trail back home. (x2)
BU-U-U-U-U-U-U-RN! Pop! Pop!
Etcetera.
 
 
Sonny's Burning
Hands up who wants to die!

Have you heard how sonny’s burning
Like some bright erotic star?
And he lights up the proceedings
And raises the temperature.
Flame on! flame on!

Someday I’ll cut him down yeah uh
Now I’ve seen to sonny’s burning
Yeah someday I think I’ll cut him down
But it can get so co-cold in here
And he gives off such an evil heat.
Flame on! flame on!
Hai-hai hail my incubatic incubator.

Now pay witness to sonny’s burning
Warming the damp and rotten seed
Warming the damp and rotten seed
That blooms into the demon flower
Now both fire and flowers consume me.
Flame on! flame on!

Evil heat is running through me (through me)
Flame on! now flame on!
Evil heat is running through me uh! uh!
Sonny’s burning pits into me
Flame on! yeah flame on!
Sonny’s burning holes into me
Don’t interrupt! don’t interrupt!
Flame on! flame on!
Through me yeah through me
Don’t interrupt! flame on!
Flame on! flame on!

Cryin tears upon mah face

Cum mah county killers--ya know ah cannot run no more
No ah cannot run no more.

 

The Friend Catcher

I, cigarette fingers
Puff and poke
Puff and poking the smoke
Touches the ground

You, your lungs and your wrists
They throb like trains
Choo choo choo
It’s a prison of sound

Of sound

She, by my chinny chin chin
Eee-oh eee-oh
Like a zippo smokes the way
Hope, around

You, your lungs and your wrists
They throb like trains
Choo choo choo
It’s a prison of sound

A prison of sound

She, by the hair of my chinny chin chin
Eee-oh eee-oh eee-oh eee-oh
Like a zippo smokes the way
Hope, around

You, your lungs and your wrists
They throb like trains
Choo choo choo
It’s a prison of sound

I poke around...



Truck Love

Truck love! right here!
Truck love! right now!
Bewitched by pure power. that’s truck love!
In the gully of your choice. truck love!
Jam-up on a leaping tree. head on! head first!
And God came down and talked to me
And I damn nearly wept.
Tears rolling down the dash! tears rolling down the dash!
We can’t stop the monster rolling! (x4)
Rise to power! rise to power!
Rise to power! rise to power!
Your stare bright like gold
Eye-spot interference all across the fucking road.
Burn my eyes! burn my eyes! baybeeeeee!
My hands keep shaking when I’m touching ya
My hands keep shaking when I’m touching ya
They keep shaking when I ain’t
They keep shaking when I ain’t.

Truck love! truck love!
Pit-stop lovers!
Right now and the now is right!
This highway is done bent on killing us.
The face of christ is leaping from the storm
The face of christ is leaping from the storm
You tend to get religious on these runs.
Rise to power! rise to power!
Rise to power! rise to power!
Divine power has gone crawled into this tank
Every metal muscle flexed and pumping at the crank.
Pumping at my axis. rendering me sexless.
Mega-tons of muscle kicking dust across texas.
Truck love! out on the city limits
Drive straight into the eye of the next town that we hit
Gun it once for the hillbillys
Just to make them shit.

Fuck love! this truck love!
Fuck love! this truck love!
The dolls on the grill are caked in bloody bug guts
The dolls on the grill are caked in bloody bug guts
Truck love! truck love!
Rise to power! rise to power!
The dolls on the grill are caked in bloody bug guts
The dolls on the grill are caked in bloody bug guts
Truck love! truck love!
There are things burning in the desert
Rise to power! rise to power!
There are things burning in the desert
Rise to power! rise to power!

Wildworld
It’s a wild world it’s a wild world hey! it’s a wild world hey!

Hold me up baby for I may fall
Hold my dish-rag body tall
Our bodies melt together (we are one)
Post crucifixion baby, post crucifixion and all undone.

It’s a wild world it’s a wild world la-la-la-la it’s a wild world
Hey! it’s a wild world it’s a wild (ya ought to be sure)

Church bells ring out the toll of our night
Forward and forever backward
Forever backward forever forward alright
Strophe and antistrophe strophe and antistrophe hey!
Antistophe antistrophe
(c’mon baby, kiss me tight)
Up here in your arms tonight.

It’s a wild world hey! it’s a wild world it’s a wild world
It’s a wild world and she’s a wild girl hey! hey! uh! uh!
It’s a wild girl uh! huh! ah! it’s a wild world uh! huh! uh!
And she’s a wild girl don’t push me uh! don’t push me uh!
Don’t push me uh! in a wild world hah! uh! huh! and don’t push

Aahaha-hey! aahaha-hey! aahaha-hey! aahaha-hey! aahaha-hey!
It’s a wild world uh!


 
Vixo
Ah fed vixo on ev’ry fear ’n’ fret ’n’ phobia
Til it nor ah could stand the strain no longer
Sucked a chicken bone, tossed it in the corner
Raisin up like lazaurs, up, up from it’s cot
An making for the door, now...
Infant-prodigy creates a phantom-friend, yeag
Stickin’ sack an ol’ jack-jack into it’s itchin-ten
Oh! don’t ya linger! ooh! don’t ya linger, now,
Mah monster-piect...mah perfect-murder-machine
Don’t ya linger, for ah can feel mah youth slipping outa me
Yeah, ah can feel mah youth slip outa me.

Call it, call it vixo. call it vee.
Ah all it, an it comes to me.
Call it vixo. call it me
March headlong into the heart of fear
Ah will follow thee.

What kept ya? whaa? what kept ya?
You get trouble? sum’n go wrong?
Vixo grinning, climbs up into mah lil boy arms.
What you get?
Tell me, what ya gone ’n’ brung me from the hollow?
Yeah! we’re laughin’...but our laughter is shallow
Ain’t it funny...my childhood name is sorrow.
Vixo sighs, ’n’ lays it’s head upon mah pillow.

Call it. call it vixo. call it vee.
Call it, an it comes to me.
Vee...ah...hex...oh-oh, come crawl with me.
Into the dark heart of despair
Ah will not forsake thee.

Listen...instruction!
Ditch it, pitch it. now hitch it up along the ridge
Ya laughin b’neath the sherriff’s wheels
That go screamin cross hooper bridge
Skirt the out-skirts. up mah back-stair. ya sack all undone.
Don’t touch nothin! water runnin in the tub
Get there! and scrub ev’ry one.

When ya struck ya struck!
Ya struck a thousand crickets dumb
Hooper-hollow iced over then, all hush, hush
In the cool midday sun
Hush! ah say hush! hu-u-u-ush!
Sittin on the roof, laugh at mahself
As they rope off the woods
Watchin’ all the good-people
Go beating the bush.
 
 
Yard
In our yard
How many chickens can we count
On our fingers and toes
On their toes
Sitting on father’s hole
Sitting on his chest
Crushing rocks of dirt
The earth is soft in our
Yard yard
Stones in my shoes
And feet
Dragging them through museums
Where
Under glass
Refridgerate
Freeze
Hands and feet
And knobbly knees
Yard yard
 
Zoo Music Girl
Zoo Music Girl Zoo Music Girl
Our life together is a holloe tooth
Spit out the shells, spit out the shells
You know exactly what I'm talking about
Don't drag the orchestra into this thing
Rattle those sitcks, rattle those sticks
The sound is beautiful, it's perfect!
The sound of her young legs in stockings
The rhythem of her walk, it's beautiful
Just let it twist, let it break
Let it buckle let it bend
I want to hear the noise of my Zoo Music Girl
Zoo Music Girl Zoo Music Girl
My body is a monster driven insane
My Heart is a FISH toasted by flames
I kiss the hem of her skirt
We spend our lives in a box full of dirt
I murder her dress till it hurts
I murder her dress till she loves it
If there is one thing I desire in this workd
It is to make love to my Zoo Music Girl
Zoo Music Girl Zoo Music Girl
The sound is beautiful! It's perfect!
I call out her name in the night
Zoo Music Girl! Zoo Music Girl!
I call her by her family name
Zoo Music Girl! Zoo Music Girl!
Oh! God! Please let me die beneath her fists
Zoo Music Girl! (x 4)

We're Coming Up for the Downstroke

 

I’m going to make you

Don’t you ever trust me

I’m gonna make you

Don’t you lean on me

I want to make you feel the way

You know you never feel the same

I want to make you

Make you again

 

I’m on the outside

So glad to be out here

So glad to be out here

I’m going to be Inside out

And shout and shout never be in doubt

I’m on the outside

Don’t wanna know
