You wake
You move
You fall the fall that’s all
You see
You fly
You sleep
You fix the fix for what
You need
You look
You bend
You fight the fight until
You end
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah!
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah!
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no!
You know you know you made me cry!
But who’ll believe we’re breathing fire?
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah!
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah!
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no!
Why are you looking out the window?
Why aren’t you looking at me?
Why are you looking out the window?
Why aren’t you looking at me?
Why are you looking out the window?
Why aren’t you looking at me?
Why are you looking out the window?
Why aren’t you looking at me?

Another Song of Songs
Will you sing to me?
Will you sing to me that way?
All I want is to lose myself in your melody.
Will you sing to me softly in the rain?
This heart is slowing down.
This heart just needs a long rest.
This old world has been on my mind too long.
This heart beat beat is fading fast.
I will let you go
I will become someone else.
I will turn myself inside out.
I will forget to be afraid.
Will you sing to me?
Will you sing to me that way?
All I want is to lose myself in your melody.
Will you sing to me softly in the rain?
Will you sing to me softly in the rain?
Going Places
Take me to the bright sky
Tell me what I should know
Take me to the burning heart of the sun
Take me to the ocean
Show me how to stay low
I wanna be the only one
Sometimes it seems
We’re on opposite sides
Of this infinitely long dark hall
I keep my bags packed
I keep my shoes on
I will be ready when you call
Take me to the mountains
Teach me how to run fast
Push me past the edge when I think I’m done
Take me to the forest
Hide with me forever
I wanna be the only one
Haiku for Shellfish
Mutilated lips
All through the parking garage
Gonna be all right
Not a Pure Thermal Phenomenon
I had what it took then, honey honey
To take it straight into the sun
Get it – get get to me
Get it – get get to me
Get it – get get to me
Get it – get get to me
Honey, honey, it’s a minute past our dew point
Swim in time like water and I get this
Wet grip liquid reality
Waiting to inflect/intone oh no
Can you hear heat in my voice?
Yeah, No way, sugar sugar dumpling
I tell a truth: I am a truth
I had to live and had to care
I got an unfair
advantage
I got a big ol’ swollen belly
And this multi-colored tongue
Hallelujah! Gawda’mighty!
When I watch you touch your inner thigh
I’m kissing all these angels
In the endless white hot sunshine
It’s so hard – it’s up to me
‘Cause I ain’t leaving no one behind, no
I cain’t leave no one behind
24 in 24 – Hour 22
THAT ONE ROCK OPERA WHERE BLACK HEARTS
HAVE RAINBOW ORGASMS WHILE REALIZING THEMSELVES
AS PART OF INDRA'S NET
Hypnotizing vertigo
I can't stand it anymore
It makes me want to cry
It makes you want to cry
It makes me want to cry
Where do souls run off to, honey?
Are the black hearts doomed too soon?
I’m not supposed to be here, honey.
But for this need I feel for you. (Goddamn)
{Interlude}
ENTER CAPTAIN BLACKHEART
CAPTAIN BLACKHEART:
This is your Captain Blackheart speaking
And I don't know who's to blame
I don’t know how it’s meant to be
And I can’t escape my pain
ANGELS & DEVILS SPIN INTO VIEW
ANGELS & DEVILS (SINGING):
There are black hearts
And blue hearts
And red hearts
And white hearts
And do you yet know
What sets these hearts far apart?
CAPTAIN BLACKHEART:
I’ve never known a blue heart
But I’ve watched a red one bleed
And white hearts give me diarrhea
And a’knocking of mine knees.
So if you’re asking me about
Any differences I see,
Well a heart’s a fart that beats and blarts
No mind the color of its sheen
ANGELS & DEVILS (SINGING):
Oh, you Black Heart….
Dear, sweet, Black Heart…
How very smart art thart…
Though thou simply dost know nart…
That the truth of all these hearts
And all time
And all space
And all things
Is that you
are IT
lovely Black Heart,
empty Black Heart,
dear, sweet, broken Black Heart
And what IT
is is
IT IS, IT IS, IT IS…
ANGELS & DEVILS SPIN OUT OF VIEW
BLACKHEART EXPLODES INTO AN ORGASMIC RAINBOW
{End Interlude}
It makes me want to cry (Goddamn)
It makes you want to cry (Goddamn)
It makes me want to cry (Goddamn)
I just can't stand it anymore (Goddamn)
This hypnotizing vertigo
Goddamn!
Where do these souls run off to, honey?
No hearts are false - no hearts are true.
I’m not supposed to be here with ya, honey.
But for this need I feel for you. (Goddamn)
This need I feel for you.
24 in 24 – Hour 15
AMEN, SHE SAID

STILL A GOOD TIME STILL
Yer gonna have a good time still
Oh lord, yer gonna have a good time still
Yer gonna scream
Yer gonna shout
Yer gonna lern what’s all about
Hot Damn!
Yer gonna have a good time still
I used to be a god-fearing dude
That’s right I used to be a god-fearing dude
But then I got to heaven
And found there was nuttin’ thair to do
So that fear o’god just left me through and through
Yee-haw!
Yer gonna have a good time still
Oh lord, yer gonna have a good time still
Yer gonna scream
Yer gonna shout
Yer gonna lern what’s all about
Have mercy!
Gonna have a good time still
Now I still am a lord-lovin’ man
That’s right – a boney-fied, lord-lovin’ man
Just don’t believe that god’s a king
Ruling down over you and me
I like democracy not monarchy, that’s true!
Sing with me!
Yer gonna have a good time still
Oh lord, yer gonna have a good time still
Yer gonna scream
Yer gonna shout
Yer gonna lern what’s all about
Sing it!
Yer gonna have a good time still
Are we trying to get Heaven?
No, there’s nothin’ hap’nin’ thair!
Are we trying to raise some Hades?
Hell no! No fires of despair!
Then what’s the point of all-a this?
Breathing every breath with care!
So let’s scream and let’s shout
And let’s dance our demons out!
Let’s have a good time ’til time stands still.
Let’s have a good time ’til time stands still.
Let’s have a good time ’til time stands still.
Let’s have a good time
For all time
Let’s have a good ol’ time
’til time
stands
still.
Amen!
Country Lament #48303
Whyyyy couldn't it be you that left me? Whyyyy did I have to be the one to leave you? Hoped we grow apart without much trouble or maybe fall in love with someone new.
When we first met all time stretched out before us. When we first met we couldn’t wait to do the do. When we first met we couldn’t sleep without affections. When we first met we never thought that we’d be through.
Oh, whyyyy couldn't it be you that left me? Whyyyy did I have to be the one to leave you? Hoped we grow apart without much trouble or maybe fall in love with someone new.
The years went on and we lost what was behind us. The years went on and we dealt with the day by day. The years went on and we wondered what did done happened. The years went on and it was clear we had to go our ways.
But whyyyy couldn't it be you that left me? Whyyyy did I have to be the one to leave you? Hoped we grow apart without much trouble or maybe fall in love with someone new.
Did I never tell you you were everything I ever wanted? Did I never tell you how I loved the way you moved? Did I never tell you how it meant to have you near me? Did I never tell you all the little things I never told you?
My darling, whyyyy couldn't it be you that left me? Whyyyy did I have to be the one to leave you? Hoped we grow apart without much trouble or maybe fall in love with someone new.
Country Lament #223,804
You were the hungry one.
You were the ornery one;
the haunted one that survived…
the only one I ever loved.
You were the hopeful one.
You were the faithful one;
the sacred one I waited for…
the only, only one.
Now I know without you
how the slow days go so lonely.
Now I know without you
how lonely days go slow.
Now I know how isolation
spreads everywhere like cancer.
Now I know how it feels to be
some fruit left on the vine…
long past picking time.
You were the precious one
I can’t let go of.
You were the cautious one
I couldn’t fool.
You left me lifetimes
to remember, darling.
Now I’m living lifetimes
of over-ripe regret.
