A million chances have passed
While I’ve been sitting at home
Coffee in vase
Reclusively chaste
The laser beam of mind
Is focused so clearly on attacking on time
I’ve lost mankind

It’s in times that I’ve missed
When I question my self-discipline
Dancing with you lips to lips
The reward for my self-discipline

Please don’t take any offense
When I tell you I’m too scattered for a romance
It’s not pretense
I’m making nervous mistakes
I keep on running, disconnected the brakes
How high the stakes

But when I pause for recess
Self-assured that you will be the one I address
Expecting excess
I bring you out to the floor
Pressed against my chest
As we are pushing pushing pushing pushing pushing for more

If I told you to never make a sound
Would you let me gag your mouth as you pump adrenaline?
If you need me to stop your run aground
Would you listen to me now that I’ve got your discipline?

If I treated you just a little worse
Would you admit it turned you on as I broke your porcelain?
If I proved to you that you’re quite perverse
Maybe then all your love and hunger would drive your discipline

I can’t sleep as well at night
Oh no
Without you calling to make right
Mmm hmm
So many pretty girls to choose
Oh yeah
How come I’m getting stuck on you?
Mmm mmm
A million beetles crawl my legs
Ooh ooh
Making inciscions with their heads
Wow wow
But I can’t pay them any heed
My pelvis has needs
We’re gonna shake it with some gusto ’till we bleat

I can’t sleep when I’m on fire
Oh no
My body burning with desire
Mmm hmm
So many particles imbued
Oh yeah
How they’re concerned is nothing new
Mmm mmm
The cats are scratching at my sleeves
Ooh ooh
Insist on drawing blood to leave
Wow wow
But I can’t give them any milk
My furnace is built
I’m gonna roast them to a crisp before it’s spilt

Please
I’ve been suspecting unease
There’s a change coming on the breeze
We’re stuck out on the high seas
We keep on battling

Come on
I’m searching through all the muck
High and low without luck
I’m sick to my stomach
Because I’m looking for

A perfect place in time where my body is in motion
With pure heart and devotion
Oh it must exist
My baby baby baby
You’re thinking of my safety
But all I’m striving lately
Is for immortality

Heaven save us from our own bad hands
With perfection and grace through to the bitter end
Science save us from the bitter end
With perfection and grace we will meet again

On the road again and good to go
Shuttle back to the hotel, don’t be slow
I’m gonna show you what it means to be
A rock star

Undress the bottle and impress my friends
Produce a night that’s never gonna end
If I unleash this we can’t pull it back
Bomb the tracks

Sneak past the manager and up the stairs
Bring the guitars and bass and kicks and snares
We’re gonna hit them on the twos and fours
We got the next room on the below floor

We’re gonna make an album in one night
And start a hotel fight
Unpack the drums, drink, and beat the beat out

We’re going to bang on all the walls until management kicks us out
We’re going to kick out all the jams until the sun has risen up
I don’t know what they all were thinking
Renting us this hotel room for not sleeping

Come on let’s fuck on all the surfaces and never clean them up
Waking up the neighbors ’cause we just don’t give a fuck
We’re going to bang on all the walls because the floor ain’t loud enough
Bring the drum kit in and let’s just beat it rough

With the TV smashed and light bulbs blown
To get us out the door they’ll knock it down
We burnt the drapes and wear them as a crown
Stomp the ground

Let’s have another and go hit record
It’s almost biblical, the wine we’ve poured
With music this good we are never bored
Power chords!

I don’t want you getting on my mind, I get so flustered that I can’t see right
I’m working on you, getting over time, can’t get nothing done when I’m so maligned

There is something about you, wrecks my thoughts, all my other time commitments settle for loss
You’re like a big spool of mental floss, scraping the tartar off my brain with a wash
I cannot see through your shields and blocks, entering you could be like Pandora’s box
All of my book learning drops off, getting busy takes over any practical cause

True, sometimes I know what to do, but then I’m caught up in a feud, split between what I can want and what you do

When I come on home for sure
My baby, I will always keep it pure
Gotta keep you out of my mind when I’m on tour
When my melt is at its top, I’m gonna keep it going, never stop
Focus my laser on shooting past the clock

I get so flustered

Anesthetized
Warm muscles left to dry
We keep the lights on but I don’t know why
Cast aside
It may be worth a try
If we can do it then we’ll never die

I’ve been taking a risk or two and they haven’t turned to glass
But maybe my trump has come to pass
You are too young to move this fast
Our hands are tied and our fates collide and our heads turn into glass
It will shatter, inevitably crash
A seventeen-year-old girl will never last

When in dark
I trace your question marks
Connect your dots, make you my art
Flint to spark
Give you a running start
Coming after with a tag and a bag and a dart

I never resist my mind but my heart still turns to glass
I wish you would take a risk on me
This may be the only time I’m free

My common sense is falling down by my side
I’m seeing a giant tortoise flying up to the sky
Now my mind is trying to catch up with the tricks up my sleeve
Heavens, can you convince my body of the truths I perceive?

Soo soo soo soo sweet
I’ve got my flight suit on and my boot-strapped feet
All my friends at home will feign trust in what I’ve seen
They won’t really get this colorful love machine
Five, four, three, two, one, ignition
Rocket go for this big launch pad decision
Massive apparitions of reptilian design
Telling me the mysteries of man kind

Rainbows of energy are shooting
Past my iris into my genome’s binding
Rapidly evolving past flesh and bone and need
The giant tortoise eats my head and I become the feed

Under the covers
Of unsuspecting musical numbers
Covering up all my machines
Saboteur of boring dreams

Cooking the numbers
Tearing down the suits and their sponsors
Terror cells follow my lead
Making our culture free

I’ve got a split personality

None of my lovers
Have come across the side to discover
My political secret police
Flying me across the seas
Breakfast in Russia
Afternoon tea-party in Cuba
A panic bombing musical spree
Racking up the casualties

This voice is calling me
And it’s forcing my hand to move in some ways
I never taught it to
It’s your spooky action at a distance, held with grace

I never suspected you
Would hold this much sway over my day to day
It’s an embarassment
It’s your spooky action at a distance, pulling away

Entangled as a pair
Regardless of the air
Between our counterparts
We are each other’s art

And I know it won’t suffice
To say I know it won’t sit right
But to have you torn from life
Don’t stop your actions at night
And I know these girls are fools
And their eyes pierce through my goal
But your spooky action’s pull is the tether to my poll
And I know it won’t sit right
And I know it won’t hold tight
And I know it won’t keep quiet
And I know it won’t cause riots

The silence is killing me
So I make some noise to fill my head’s big void
My chest is my reverb plate
The ideas from my knees travel up through my pelvic bone

I thrust to expell my need
But the benefits sober up with the booze
I wish I could stand with you
But your spooky action at a distance

I haven’t been scared enough
By your ghostly hand reaching out through the walls
Catching my trips and falls
It’s my safety net dragging me back to my own shore

Since I was sixteen years
There’s not been one day I have not thought of you
I forget all other names
It’s your spooky action at a distance

You’re the kind of woman I fall in love with
But I will feel it on my own

I’ve dreamt of you for the last twenty years
I don’t know what your face looks like or where you are
My crystal skull shoots rainbows out to sea
Your talent is perverse, subtle to conceive

I keep ignoring your birthdays
And your presents pile up under the bed
I’m going to give them to you when
When I’ve got the courage to be a man in love

You keep ignoring the reaper
As you burn the candle at both ends at a time
He’s going to give it to you when
When you’ve exhausted your ninth life chasing sublime

Oh with the sun on our sleeves
We keep ignoring
The blight that our futures could be
We need some miracles

Oh as we play in the sand
We keep it coming
Embracing the present at hand
Let’s take advantage of

All of our plights on the seas
Never capsized our dreams that our days should be free
We need reality

So with our faces in sun
Let’s have a toast to the ignorant bliss still to come

Faster motors
And more to spend
We need these in order to reach the end

Weekend Drivers
And weakened friends
You know they won’t help us so don’t pretend

It is the future
We aim to conquor
Don’t attempt to stop it: we’ll only grow stronger

With just a pick-axe
And a shovel
We’ll tell you when it’s time to move a muscle
Go!

When times are brazen
And food is scarce
You will be of use diverting bears

Your art is morbid
So are your thoughts
You shall regret it when you’re sold in lots

We are the future
Your future leaders
Not to be dimissed; efficient breeders

With great bravado
And piercing gaze
We shall prove for once and all we do amaze
Go!

We are the earth shakers
We are the spine breakers
You will regret it should you mistake us for being fakers

We mastered pushing faders
When you were in your trainers
We’ll run a coup d’etat upon you music draft evaders

We’re not the drug smugglers
We’re not the mob runners
We are the fabulous, the stylish Miami Stunnaz

We are machine gunners
We make fantastic lovers
We are show-stoppingly beautiful Miami Stunnaz
Go!

You’ve got me sweating tiny buckets of fret
Gives me the shivers of a Vietnam vet
When you take solos in your chamber quartet
All my troubles seem like silly regrets

Make it last ’till dawn
Sweating Tiny Buckets
Be my Miss Saigon
Sweating Tiny Buckets

You’ve got me sweating tiny buckets in sheets
Be careful when you touch me, heat begets heat
You fill in my blanks, make my crossword complete
Combinatorically we can be discrete

Coffee pots
Switched-on Bach
A glass of wine
Open books and mind
How does one pass the days?

Ugly girls
Lying boys
Fueled by booze
Think they cannot lose
Their weary gaze if out of place

Ages creep
Buildings creak
Youth has left
Wrinkles deaden it
Wasting love in this cheap club

We’re going to dance until our legs break off
And then we’ll shake on the floor
The kick drum’s still banging on all of the fours
And our livers aren’t quite sore

Until our legs break

No one will
Hear these words
Can’t understand
From the vocoding
What’s the point anyway?

Take your number
Sleep alone
Wait for sun
Do it more for fun
This is how we survive

Simmer Simmer
Little girl
That’s enough
Out of you tonight
Take you home, treat you right

Look out son
Your time has come
Wear that cap
On your jimmy tight
This one can’t dance
To your advance

I’ve been watching you from outside of your house
At 6 you change to halter top from blouse
The things with pain I’m gonna do to you arouse
I’ll wait for a good time until I pounce

You’ve seen me around the town and you know my name
You say “Hi,” and smile but tease, it’s such a shame
You should have known to fall in love with me and feel the same
You’ve ruined it and got yourself to blame

Smooth Sailor, got my back to the wind
Yes I’m a smooth sailor, oh my wings have been pinned
Yes I’m a smooth sailor, what I want I will win
Yes I’m a smooth sailor, I’m a smooth sailor

I hope the chains aren’t too tight or or throat too parched
Mind the rusted nails sticking out of the arch
Worries aside, I saw you get your tetnis shot last march

Hush
You needn’t be concerned of waking neighbors screaming that way
We’re so far underground it’s practically Bombay
Besides, it’s been a while, you didn’t make the news today

The ocean’s always rising
It’s not even worth fighting
I’m moving to horizons far across the unknown distant shore

I’m not going to stop looking
‘Till I’m on my own perching
Where I can make a nest I’m proud to call my one and only home

It’s not a simple matter
The needing to have glamour
While re-evaluating choices choices choices choices

Uprooting toxic matter
Forcing a change of patter
Can’t always cure the disillusionment of solitary cheer

Eyes shut tight
Lonely nights
Getting in Fights
The disillusionment of solitary cheer

Stay inside
Work for pride
No one to confide
The disillusionment of solitary cheer

Pick up
Take out
Back to the beginning
Pig in
Freak out
This isn’t really happening

Losing our control over reality

Upsies
Downsies
Feeling it in your spleen

Kick it
Push it
Scrape it
Hit it
Bite it
Punch it
Loath it
Fight it
Pull it
Stomp it

Or we could

Love it
Hug it
Lick it
Kiss it
Touch it
Make it
Bring it
Soothe it
Smooth it
Smooch it

Or we could

Fix it
Ride it
Learn it
Shake it
Build it
Crop it
Trash it
Take it
Fuck it
Fuck it
Fuck it

All we humans do is ride the upsies downsies waves

What do you want to see?
How much will you believe?
Suspend your disbelief
There’s a truth amongst the trees
Feel my fingers down your neck
My digits sticking to your sweat
This is not the only one
There are others coming yet

Time will toss us all into obscurity

Upsies downsies
Interpret it as purity

I love you
Or at least I think I would
It’s been so long since I met someone I could
There’s a place
Somewhere that cannot be seen
It ebbs and flows, sticks to the walls in between

Fear washes over us like snow
The mind killer steps to blow
But when the dust settles will we have stood our ground
Or have scuttled down below?
You touch my head and calm me down
The ground opens wide and round
And if we both fall in
There’ll be no more gloating of losses or of wins
