Valarie and the angels
Valaries tears are boiling into my soul again
As the full moon bores holes into my brain
(bores holes aginst the grain)
Valaries tears,though i barely know her, hurt
And i'd walk through hell to feel that hurt again
She's my friend;she's my good friends lover,
Sometimes my father,(sister) sometimes my mother
She sheds tears that i might live
Another moon that i might give
All my shimmering darkness to the world
Valaries tears bored(burned) holes into my eyes (4x)
It's that time of month and everyone has gone insane
I hear bullets and sirens and laughing and yellin
Dogs are barking and bottles are breakin'
And i can't sleep 'cause my big heart's breaking
'Cause valaries tears poured pools on the floor
Valaries tears poured holes into the floor
Valaries tears poured holes into the floor
Valaries tears poured holes into the floor
Valaries tears poured(burned) holes into the floor!

Smelly piano
The smell of this old piano
The angels brought me flowers
Hovering over my shoulder with lyrics based on fear
Think i'll go down to the frisko bay
And drown my doubts and fears
Maybe not today, i get a check in the mail tomorrow.
The sun is nailing down another day;
The mailman's come and gone (the mailman's done his job.)
Leaving only the smell of his cigar
And a note that says i'm wrong
It's not for lack of a better life
My world's full of joy and love
It's only a sense of creeping despair
Bourn on wings like blood.
(piano solo)
If i could bottle what i feel now
And peddle it far and wide
No one would buy it or even try it
'Cause its too dark inside.
Grey is the day and my soul follows near
Grey is the day and my soul follows near
Grey is the day and my soul follows near
Today is grey and my soul's full of fears (tears)
(it'd take a million volts to put me to sleep....)
Golden Gate Bridge
Standing on the Golden Gate bridge.
looking for the girl who
did not like to live
look for the girl with the atropine eyes,
as she flies!
I've got cabin-fever
I've been in my head for far too long
my brains are blowing out from pressure-jealousy
my strings are melting and I'm sure that I can fly-
maybe I'll try!
--------------------------------
(pre-chorus)
It's another fucking sunset and
I'm checking out tonight.
Slipping into sleep, your
memory slaps me awake.
I don't want to die.
I want to fuck you one more time.
----------------------------------
Chorus
I don't want to die!
I can hurt you more alive
if that keeps me here for one more day
it's all I need to say
stumbling through this world with all my lies
failing comically at all I try
I feel I'd like to die
but it hurts even to try
why should I try?
nausea, sweet nausea
anticipate my bane
sanctify and vilify to keep us both alive
I'll just go to sleep
tomorrow means another chance at being sane
(pre-chorus, chorus) out...
Field of Poppies
Can you get to the other side
of the field of poppies
without laying down to go to sleep
and never waking up again?
can you get to the other side of the
field of poppies
with your body intact,
your self-respect and your friends
my kisses are narcotic
you kick and sweat when I'm not there
we'll be blowing up a mountain
when I whisper through your hair
chorus;
shake me then erase me
you can never quite replace me
you're in my blood
I'm in your soul
I'm a 2-bit baby boy
lost in the city streets
screamin' for his next mommie
lookin' up and clunching any
skirt that slishes (whispers) by
I fear my own thoughts
reflected in your yellow eyes
(chorus)
I kiss you all to miss myself
I miss you like the devil misses God
I'll bite her lip and taste her blood
and roll her blood upon my tongue
her blood will become the wine
that I will sup every time
I want you behind me
get behind me!
get thee behind me!
Pet the Princess
I'm dreaming
eyes open
toes pointed at the sky
Love spreading
legs trembling
remembering this moment as
a child
I want to
just want you
but I'm not
man enough or true enough to me
chorus:
pet the princess, beauty-fuel
I want to drown in you
faerie-princess beautiful
I'll drown in you
I want to
jump into your ocean
but I cannot
swim at all
I'm flying
I'm falling
I'll catch myself in time
to land and wake with you!
Hey Louie!
Chorus:
You must be the most loved boy in
this whole electric world!!
Hey Louie! I Love you man!
I love you more than a lover, brother.
cool like a chick, but you're a man
I watch the world on louiecamä
I like your girl and I like your band
I like the way that you understand
It cut my heart when I made you mad
Hey Louie, I'm your biggest fan.
(chorus.)
Warrior heart
holding court
since a child
in my soul
I get strength from men like you
you've been through what I've been through
Louie is a man's best friend
that's why Louie is in demand
(chorus.) (chorus.) (chorus)
I'm so tired
Well, the crazy girl calls me from a payphone in Berkeley
she wants to come over and sing
But I'm giving orders from over my shoulder
and driving into the sea
I'm riding shotgun and I'm sitting Shiva
and there's no one I'd rather be doing
Well.....chorus
I'm so tired of waiting for myself
I told my daughter I like getting older
but the flashbacks are starting to melt
so I got a wife and I treated her nice
and I liked her for more than her pelt
Well our love it ended and I think it melted
like Dresden, St. Valentine's eve
opium with holy water
cats to cure the pain
my best friend is a diamond dog
he lives in the back of my eye
I wish you wouldn't kill yourself
I really hate to cry.
I opened your shirt like a present;
you opened your wrist like a letter
and everything we've fought so hard to feel
slides and scrapes and shatters and breaks and
splatters in a puddle
on the rented boards of this
4-walled, 2-bit, one bare-lightbulb room
------------
I Loved You Then I Died:
Misty morning mutterings about an
etching on my wall. I'd traverse long distances - you won't even
call. I loved you then I died. I wrote you letters in my blood from the
darkness of my room. I wrote you letters in my blood from by
eggshell-colored womb. I met you in the graveyard by the light of
the moon. We made sweet love on top of my mothers tomb. I'd kill a
million in every city for you. I'd nail God's hand to a tree for you. The
sunlight burns my eyes and darkness only brings me lies. I want
you.
if I were a girl (cat out take I wanna do)
If I were a girl
If I were a girl
If I were a girl
I'd wanna look like you
You can touch me
and I'll let you
leave my body when we kiss
screams outside the minefield
of my heart
You can touch me
wear my dress
sanctify my body; This.
Nailcat through the armor of my heart.
I'm the strychnine in your wedding cake
I'm every drug you shouldn't take
surround my heart with razor tape.
You're so cool you should be a guy
your reflection's in my eye
love the taste of danger in your soul.
I just met a girl named Marie.
I'd want to feel what you feel
I'd always fuck like you
I'd know the truth
---------
I'd look like you
I'd wanna taste like you
I'd know the things that can be freely given.
I'd dance between the differences
your kiss tattooed blue upon my memory's skin
------
We'd start off naked
We'd take off more
Onan would be proud
I'd free-fall love into this world
I'd kiss the boys and the girls
You and I dance naked on the devil's grave
Your dreams pulled me up,
you need my weight to
hold you down to feel alive.
I'd paint my nails
stay out of jail
but I'd sell anything I want
--------
I'd be tall and shapely
look good in a skirt
never have to wonder in the morning
I'd be with me
release endorphins
I'd symbolize the freedom
that you long for
I'd be steadily rejoicing
I'd go shopping
I'd chase all the young boys and the big men and the young women too
-------------------
(armor of my heart...)
I'd cry sometimes
and laugh more than that
I'd never have to worry about my girlfriends
I'd be young and pretty,
even as I grow old
Sweeter than a cat and badder than a junkyard dog
(every drug you'll ever take.)
Just for today, I only want you.
