Bittersweet Me

Bittersweet Me

I move across, innocence lost
All flashing pulsar
I move across the earth in my new pattern shirt
I pass satellites

‘you’re so bitter,’ your complaint
I can’t get you anything.
I don’t know who you’re livin for
I don’t you at all anymore.

I’d sooner chew my leg off,
Than be trapped in this.
How easy you think of all of this as bittersweet me

I couldn’t taste it
I’m tired and naked.
I don’t know what i’m hungry for
I don’t know what i want anymore

I move across, candy floss
I move like a tank
I move across the room
With a heart full of gloom.
I’m stronger than you think.

Oh my peer,
Your veneer is wearing thin and cracking.
The surface and forms underneath,
Underneath is lacking.

I’d sooner chew my leg off,
Than be trapped in this.
How easy you think of all of this as bittersweet me

I couldn’t taste it.
I’m tired and naked.
I don’t know what i’m hungry for.
I don’t know what i want anymore.

You move across, innocence lost,
All static and desire,
You’re blue in the face from navel gaze,
You set yourself on fire.

You strip down and lay yourself out,
I know you can’t fake it,
But are you tired and naked?
Are you tired and naked?

I’d sooner chew my leg off,
Than be trapped in this.
How easy you think of all of this as bittersweet me

I couldn’t taste it
I’m tired and naked.
I don’t know what i’m hungry for.
I don’t know what i want anymore.

Binky The Doormat

Binky The Doormat

This is horror movie stuff.
The muffin is peach, you’re ‘makin’ love’.
You mean this opera involves handcuffs?
I lay defeated.
Yeah, sour milk mouth, horseradish sweet.
She’s a girl and she’s loving me.
But distance is my tendency.
I am defeated.

Have you lost your place?
I wore my doormat face.
I hung my this or that.
I laid my welcome mat.

If i’m your oyster, where’s the war?
You leave me gasping, tattered and torn.
I know you can’t find a fork.
I am just a little acorn.
Well, acorns grow to mighty trees.
You’ve got sauce, but you don’t have knees.
Now look who’s asking pretty please.
I lay defeated.

Have you lost your place?
I wore my doormat face.
I hung my this or that.
I laid my welcome mat.

Call your bathroom friends around.
I will fake a little frown.
I will be your little clown,
Easily defeated.
Yeah, shut the door and open wide.
Seconal and astroglide.
Fuck with me and traumatize.
Don’t you see i love your hide?
All the beauty that’s trapped inside.
Can’t you see i love your hide?
Can’t you see i love your hide?
Can’t you see it?

Have you lost your place?
I wore my doormat face.
I hung my this or that.
I laid my welcome mat.

Belong

Belong

Her world collapsed early sunday morning
She got up from the kitchen table
Folded the newspaper and silenced the radio
Those creatures jumped the barricades
And have headed for the sea, sea

Those creatures jumped the barricades
And have headed for the sea
She began to breathe
To breathe at the thought of such freedom
Stood and whispered to her child, belong
She held the child and whispered
With calm, calm; belong

Stood and whispered to her child, belong
She held the child and whispered
With calm, calm; belong

These barricades can only hold for so long
Her world collapsed early sunday morning
She took the child held tight
Opened the window
A breath, this song, how long
And knew, knew; belong

Beat A Drum

Beat A Drum

The sun reflected in the back of my eye.
I knocked my head against the sky.

The dragonflies are busy buzzing me.
A seahorse as if we were in the sea.

Halfway from coal, halfway to diamond.
My fall knocked a mean chip out of me.

I’m gathering as far as i can reach.
We’re perched up on a precipice
And this is what i’ve seen.

This is all i want, it’s all i need.
This is all i am, it’s everything.

This is all i want, it’s all i need.

A bluejay hectors from the felled catalpa tree.
A doctorate in science and a theologian’s dream.

The dragonflies are trying to lecture me.
The seahorses if we were in the sea.

This is all i want, it’s all i need.
This is all i am, it’s everything.

This is all i want, it’s all i need.

Beat a drum for me, like a butterfly wing.
Tropical storm across the ocean.

Don’t explain, i’m sure i’ll want to know
Don’t forget, we’re just halfway from coal.

This is all i want, it’s all i need.
This is all i am, it’s everything.

This is all i want, it’s all i need.

Beachball

Beachball

Tonight’s alive
The beach ball’s set to fly
Those well tequila’d guys
Who smile at strangers.

� tes souhaits
� tes amours chéri
You give a little squeeze
And dance the rhu-rhu-rhu-rhumba

This life is sweet
You’re dancing in the street
Who knows who you might meet?
You’ll do find.

The little weekend’s here
Thursday has an ear
The coffee klatch career
She talks to strangers

And kissing by the sea
Particular to me
‘ti punch, mojito, sling and
Dance the rhu-rhu-rhu-rhumba

This life is sweet
You’re dancing in the street
Who knows who you might meet?
You’ll do find.

We flash the seaside sky
With starfishe butterflies
To cast a spell
And welcome locals and welcome locals, weekenders and strangers.

You’ll do fine.
You’ll do fine.
You’ll do fine.

Be Mine

Be Mine

I never thought of this as funny
It speaks another world to me
I wanna be your easter bunny
I wanna be your christmas tree.

I’ll strip the world that you must live in
Of all its godforsaken greed.
I’ll ply the tar of your feathers.
I’ll pluck the thorns out of your feet.
You and me.
You and me.
You and me.

And if i choose your sanctuary.
I’ll want to wash you with my hair.
I’ll want to drink of sacred fountains
And find elixirs hidden there.

I’ll reap the lotus and the olive (?).
I’ll want to hear the caged-bird sing.
I’ll want the secrets of the temple.
I’ll want the finger with the ring.
You and me.
You and me.
You and me.

And if you made me your religion.
I’ll give all the room you need.
I’ll be the drawing of your breath.
I’ll be carpet you should weave.
I’ll be the sky above the ganges
I’ll be the vast and stormy sea.
I’ll be the lights that guide you inland.
I’ll be the visions you will see.
Visions you will see.
You will see.
You will see.
You and me.
You and me.
You and me.

Bang And Blame

Bang And Blame

If you could see yourself now, baby
It’s not my fault
You used to be so in control
You’re going to roll right over this one
Just roll me over, let me go
You’re laying blame
Take this as no, no, no

You bang, bang, bang, bang and bang,
Blame, blame, blame
You bang, bang, bang, bang and bang,
It’s not my thing so let it go.

If you could see yourself now baby,
The tables have turned
The whole world hinges on your swings
Your secret life of indiscreet discretions
I’d turn the screw and leave the screen,
Don’t point your finger,
You know that’s not my thing

You came to bang, bang, bang, bang and bang,
Blame, blame, blame
You bang, bang, bang, bang and bang,
It’s not my thing so let it go.

You’ve got a little worry,
I know it all too well,
I’ve got your number,
But so does every kiss-and-tell
Who dares to cross your threshold,
Or happens on your way,
Stop laying blame.
You know that’s not my thing.

You know that’s not my thing,
You came to bang, bang, bang, bang and bang,
Blame, blame, blame
You bang, bang, bang, bang and bang,
It’s not my thing so let it go.
You bang, bang, bang, bang and bang,
Blame, blame, blame
You bang, bang, bang, bang and bang,
It’s not my thing so let it go.

You kiss on me, tug on me, rub on me, jump on me,
You bang on me, beat on me, hit on me, let go on me,
You let go on me

Bad Day

Bad Day

A public service announcement followed me home the other day,
I bade it nevermind, go away.
The shit’s so thick, you could stir it with a stick,
The paper wouldn’t lie, we assume the loss to mankind and gloat and jeer with it
Broadcast me a joyful noise into the times, lord, count your blessings, ignore the lowest fear, well you can’t sandblast glisten,
Radio no, play the game, three words, first one short,
Magazine, book, cinema, n – o – down,
Many fears are gone, step down, step down,
Watch a heel crush, ah this means war
I saw the light, it can’t be right
Broadcast me a joyful noise into the times, lord,
Count your blessings, ignore the lowest fear, well you can’t sandblast

It’s been a bad day, please don’t take my picture, it’s been a bad day, please
It’s been a bad day, please don’t take my picture,
It’s been a bad day, please

A public service announcement followed me home the other day,

Count your blessings, ignore the lowest fear, come one, what more?

It’s been a bad day, please don’t take my picture, it’s been a bad day, please
It’s been a bad day, please don’t take my picture,
It’s been a bad day, please

At My Most Beautiful

At My Most Beautiful I’ve found a way to make you
I’ve found a way
A way to make you smile

I read bad poetry
Into your machine
I save your messages
Just to hear your voice
You always listen carefully
To awkward rhymes
You always say your name
Like I wouldn’t know it’s you
At your most beautiful

I’ve found a way to make you
I’ve found a way
A way to make you smile

At my most beautiful I count your eyelashes, secretly
With every one, whisper I love you
I let you sleep
I know you’re closed eye watching me, listening.
I thought I saw a smile.

I’ve found a way to make you
I’ve found a way
A way to make you smile

Apologist

Apologist

They call me the apologist.
And now that i’m at peak.
You know at first it really hurt.
We joke about these things.
I’ve skirted all my differences
But now i’m facing up.
I wanted to apologize for
Everything i was. so
I’m sorry, so sorry…

Did you understand me right?
The people here are good.
They tell me what i should have done
And offer what i could.
I’m good, all is good
All’s well, no complaints.
When i feel regret,
I get down on my knees and pray.
I’m sorry, so sorry…

I live a simple life
Unfettered by complex sweets.
You think this isn’t me?
Don’t be weak.
There i go.
I’m so sorry.

Thank you for being there for me.
Thank you for listening, goodbye.
I can forfeit selfishness
I hope for you that you apply
This happiness
This peacefulness
I’m sorry, so sorry…

I live a simple life
Unfettered by complex sweets.
You think this isn’t me?
That’s so sweet.
I’m so sorry
