Another visit, another vision
Well, well
Won’t you join me in The Blue Room?
Another minute, another moment
Another moment, another
Pelican, Pelican
Pelican…
I sit slowly, I am only
I sit slowly, I am only
I am only in The Blue Room
I sit only in The Blue Room
Uh huh…
Give me your bloodlet
Enchant me tonight
The brine of wild longing
Circling his eyes
Sandblast, nightflights
Holy moly
That’s the older fella I used to know
Fella I used to know
Sometimes the odor sticks to you for days
Sometimes the odor sticks to you for days
Sometimes the odor sticks to you, effuses
Such a stench from you…
Give it to me now
Another visit, another vision
Well, well…

Shovel & Bevel

I’m sick of you looking for trouble
Shovel & Bevel
Looking for treasure
Shuffling shit with a shovel
Get on my level
Get on my level
I’ll get you
I’ll get you
On both sides
I’ll get you
I’m sick of you looking for trouble
Shovel & Bevel
Looking for treasure
Shuffling shit with a shovel
Get on my level
Get on my level
I’m sick of you looking for trouble
Shovel & Bevel
Looking for treasure
Lifting your hips to the devil
Looking for trouble
Looking for treasure
I’m sick of you looking for trouble
Shovel & Bevel
Looking for treasure
Shifting the blame to your sister
Someone should tell her
Just how you fixed her
I’m sick of you
Looking for trouble
Shovel & Bevel
Looking for treasure
I’m over your tired
Shit and your shovel
Looking for trouble
Get on my level
I’ll get you
I’ll get you
On both sides
I’ll get you
I’ll get you

Byzantine Tango

I’m a silver machine
Feigning sleep in the next bed over
And if you sit here with me
We can sink to the belly of the earth
And every uncertainty
Disappears in a perfect incandescence
Alive
He lifts his eyes
Fixed gaze
Discipline
Turn the page
Flip it back again
One face, two face
You fake your face
There is nothing we need
We bring nothing when we are buried
Not a gold figurine
Not the piss of a homeless Roman
Of what interest are we?
Our old toys have no use for our stiffened fingers
The pedophiles creep up with their cure-all fixers
Love elixirs
Innocent games
Maybe make it to sunup
And suffer your day
But every nightfall
It calls to you:
“I’m a silver machine—
I’m an infinite vista opening”
Set a minute aside for the things that matter
Pitter patter, pitter patter

Deft With Language
06:01

He is so Deft With Language
And so dedicated
Meanwhile the pole I am humping
Sinks into the earth
What dollar do you trade in?
With what silks beladen?
It goes a long way down
What seems to be worth
Motorcycles charging
Like a baby’s snarling
Phantom ill sensation
Welled up dropping from a dream
And falling to its
Fatted collarbone my
Heavy-heartedness
I’ve just now seen it happen
He is so Deft With Language
And so dedicated
Meanwhile the pole I am humping
Makes a dent in the earth
There is a faint sucking noise
As the grain soaks with mud
What a cold lie we live in
To conceal the labor
I’m a stuck pig
In a sense I’ve nothing left to lose!
Laughing businessmen amused
A woman’s fooled them
Like the fish breath of a whale
Says who’s consuming whom
And while my ship’s harpoon
Aims silently for
Heart fat ready to be spilt
Into the changing tide
A bird is crying
Nauseous circles flies above
But that’s his problem
Why’s he flying like a bird?

Oh, oh to be
A guard dog
It feels fine!
No one escapes
Your guy
Stare close and deep
At the whites
Of his eyes
You make the call
Aim, fire
Oh, the people look on
All in shock and appalled
Vague, the nature of hate
It leaps over gates
It slithers through bars
Stare long and hard
That old judge
He looks down
Feet on the floor
Stand your ground
Kid, candy bar
You’re young
You’ll go far
Many have fallen before you
For you
Do your citizen part
Make your countrymen proud
Fuck law by failures and freeloaders
By criminal coddlers
And bleeding hearts
You may go by many names while vigilante justice stands
But a lot has changed since God created man
In your television brain a good cop never turned and ran
He rushed forward with a gun in his fat hand
When the white man waves his dick around he makes us people dance
He’s conducting to the whistle overhead

Sicily: Catacombs
05:07
|
|||
The desolated flower man holds his head in his hands
No one wants fresh flowers for the less-than-recent dead
Out of the heat, the people come to look upon his neighbors and ancestors
If we could hear their humor it would shock us, shock us all
Their wit slips out unspoken, crooked as their broken jaws
Disease is like a spider web: remains almost unseen until it catches
So why hold back black comedy’s good lessons?
The bodies of the virgins are not slower to decay
Their doors will never open but they’re still creaking just the same
Strung up by their necks in rotten dresses wheezing down at their weeping fathers
Masturbating, gargling saltwater
There I spent an hour with my hand upon my heart
Looking through their black eyes looking back at my solid form
If I die in Sicily I’ll fly among the lilac and tobacco
A strange and sweet exhaust I’ll be when I go
The desolated flower man holds his head in his hands
People are wanting photos with the less-than-recent dead
None of these Americans bring scarves to cover up their greasy shoulders
Scarves to cover up their greasy shoulders

Escapeboards, pt. I

Just add milk
I found in the dusty den when I awoke
A small bejeweled box where lost pills go
Settle the little changes of the body’s blood in morning cold
Leave me the certain smells that oil the sleeper’s waking mould
Until the day
The little crust is broken, I know it
And they climb
Ever slipping down
Why don’t I go
Walk a little, outside?
The trees are there for your madness
Go to them
I love a fair fight
Like the one that’s shucking my insides
I know what I said
No one gets a ride in
Settle the little changes of the body’s blood in morning cold
Leave me the certain smells
Leave me the certain smells that oil the sleeper’s waking mould
The older boys
Terrorizing the tennis courts
Courting the beat cops for a chase on Escapeboards
A salterello
A dance in masculine clothes
There are no adults in the city and then:
What do you know?
A yellowing imperial
Forget it!
What do you know?
This is the home of it
This is the home of it
In the arthritic fist of slow lace
Slow, slow lace
The obscurantist hands
And their patterns and plans
I know, I know they’re back there
Two times: I know they’re back there
I know…I know…
I know they’re back
They’re back…
And the only question was
How to get ahead on such short notice
How to get a bed on such short notice
How to land ahead on such short notice

Monster
Can’t you go where I can’t see you?
You make me fear for you
You make me fear for you
Monster
Change shape whenever you want to
You make me fear for you
You make me fear for you
You make me fear for you
You make me fear for you
Lower your eyes
It’s no good
Nothing compares
No one gets me going like you do
Follow my motion
I want you in pieces
Baby I’m all in
You’re so good to me
x2
Monster
Stuck in the hair in my carpet
Speak in the tones of a prophet
Piss in the back of the room
Monster
Expression is sick and perfervid
Your unholy spirit’s in stitches
I wanna kiss your lips I gonna smell your spit
Monster
Filling in wolf’s clothing
Calling yourself a coyote
Chasing your tail like a dog
Monster
Villain a villain a vulture
Here entombed with you
Alive entombed with you
Follow my motion
I want you in pieces
Baby I’m all in
You’re so good to me
x3
No one gets me going like you do

Younger Days
04:18
|

In my younger days
I became of great renown
I brought the whole place down
Fog and thunder rolling down
Now just the thought remains
Once I had a list of loves
They did sustain me once
Oh, how we used to run
Or so it seemed to me x4
They’ve got a lot of clout
Giving you your candies to count
This corrected youth
In absence of his calling found
Another master man
Why does it go like that?
You’ll race your heart to burst
'Cause you heard a pistol shot
Or so it seemed to me x8
This is the farthest
This is the nexus
This is the utmost
This is the remix
This is a wet stone
This is a money hole
Everyone’s working hard
Lifting up their arms
Snatching what’s coming down, ohhhhh
Or so it seemed to me x8
