lyrics

BIG BANG MOUNTAIN: Thrown by the sight of you Yet left me undisturbed Cars what are you trying to do When you hit me off the curb One mountain clogs my view But only I can see all its pores I hate cars and the people in them And they find me absurd The big bang consents our doom Between reals we’re torn Awoken by the scenery Morning machines quietly roar Cars what are you trying to do When you hit me off the curb I hate cars and the people in them And they find me absurd

SPEEDY FEELIES: Racecar drivers blaze their face off driving I’m going too fast Police piggies coppin’ Drowning blood baths for the cotton But it’s too fast Priests and politicians give you hope if you let them but it never lasts Moisture caressing Feels so good to have hearts touching But it’s not love A lost and broken past Yet it burns so fast Wolf machines Howling their foul dreams Souls are liars Always so torched with desire A heart’s too black Machine guns fire Hole up the sky as my thoughts tire But it’s no dream Looking for a buyer Could you quicken my retire Such a long life Rage is speeding my brain needs feeding Filled with such strife

IN LIMBO: In the waiting room there’s a call One voice carries through the fog I’m in limbo I can’t feel The waste coming from my dreams One week’s time to break the fall of news well heeded to destroy Outside the ice makes me thaw Revive the feeling for limbo’s call Hooker’s on streets My knee’s bleedin’ Shuddered thoughts looping beats Did you see the whale? My hands sweating Feel the pulse of yesterday’s dreams

MY SON & I: He was the first of the very last of my kind I’ll call him John He’ll be mine my only son till the end of time His name was John he had black hair we went to the zoo I bought him ice cream that part of me is forever in him Always mine my son & I

ON THE BEACH: Watching the lake when it was on fire Suddenly awoken That repressed desire If we can wait forever & ever We’ve been endowed With a worthwhile endeavor Sitting on the beach people all sensual Can’t smell the sea Once I’m tugged from the center Have faith in the core Laying stagnant inside you One day it’ll burst While paying no mind to you

UNDER THE WHALE: Roaming pavement at night I could be anywhere One in a room full of drunks I could be anywhere So many soul’s filled with junk Mine can’t breathe anywhere Brush the mass off like dandruff Too proud to carry too offstandish You’ll never die from sight Though people blow I’m offended by Your effrontery to my intelligence What the f*** have you done?

DRIFTERS: Everything happens now right now Everything happens here Everything happens now right now Pop goes the instant it’s clear People drift & cowards break hearts one moment dies & it’s all lost People drift & cowards break hearts Opportunities missed Then we’re dead Dead Everything constricts to now right now only point to run is to be found I want everything right now right now Stagnate repeats in infinite rounds Speculation Hesitation Percolation
