Still a Baby
02:19

No baby is a boy
and no animal can
look at itself and know
what it’s looking at
No baby is a boy
and I’m still a baby
I have and I want a phallus
pointing out and into
every corner of my palace
and a chest to lay my
head on
I need someone to hold me
and touch me inside and out
Love me inside and out
Help me turn inside out
Your baby ain’t a boy
Your baby likes their ----
and others too. What say you?
Do I make you wanna cry?
No baby is a boy
and I’m still a baby
In my night dreams I’m
Stroking the face of Zac Pennington
In my day dreams I’m
Wrapped up in arms and legs of lovers
I get up to get some orange juice and I’m –
I’m tripping over bald thighs
I’m wrapped up in exile
I need just one to focus on me
I need someone to hold me
and touch me inside and out
Love me inside and out
Help me turn inside out
No baby is a boy
and no animal can
look at itself and know
what it’s looking at
No baby is a boy
and I’m still a baby
No baby is a boy (Still a baby)

Knife Life

He’s got pink wings he can grant wishes
Wishes thrown between panes (through a) of a window
Lie in bed and hear all about it
He’s got white eyes
and wand to swat
He prophesized
I’ve seen all of the red cars
Swerving on the swerving on the street (in front of my house) I’ve seen a stranger
(seen a stranger seen a stranger)
poke their head out of my shower and say
Behave yourself or you’ll be ate up
Never going to doubt my luck
And I’ll buy me a knife
and I’ll stick it right in your life
Start a Knife Life
Start a Knife Life
Oh Yeah
I dream I have a fairy godmother
With violet wings cradle and shudder
(cradle and shutter cradle and shutter)
With bosom to rival the Cerrado
She’s got white eyes
And wand to swat
Just because I dream of you doesn’t mean you’re not real
Hovering above me on all fours you warn me so
Behave yourself or you’ll be ate up
Never going to doubt my luck
And I’ll buy me a knife
and I’ll stick it right in your life
Start a Knife Life
Start a Knife Life
Oh Yeah
Our hearts ring out for me and you in pools of blood
I slip and crack my head and laugh
Look at what’s done

You Don't Have To
02:07

Treat this day
A treat today
Be in my hair
Air with sky in eyes
Tall, even taller than
This day is tall
Taller than words we’ve spoken
Taller than hearts broken
Than knees fatigued
You don’t have to walk
You don’t have to talk
You don’t have to
You don’t have to
Don’t change your name
If you don’t want to
Don’t bathe in shame
You don’t have a birth card on your face
Hard work, it’s hard work
Hard work, it’s hard work
All your limbs are tired
You don’t have to walk
You don’t have to talk
You don’t have to
You don’t have to
You don’t have to walk
You don’t have to talk
You don’t have to
You don’t have to

Calling up today to speak
With evangelists on TV
Envelopes flooding the streets
From demi-people just like me
Are we confused or just weak?
Does your god have room for just three?
Father son and Spirit and me
Your holy book excludes me
I cheated I
Don’t have a name
My Christian name
No Christian name
I am just floored by a grin
Program to welcome me in
No penetration’s like this
Flesh Punctured by Church’s Fist
Strawberries and wine
Are yours and mine
No matter what crimes you place on me
Pews to offer forgiveness
For my wayward sexual trespass
Drink a load of purple blood
To signify your empathy
Are we confused or just weak?
Does your god have room for just three?
Man and son and Spirit and me
Your holy book excludes me
Long before you
God was like me
God would like me
God is like me
Strawberries and wine
Are yours and mine
No matter what crimes you place on me
Look at them go
Asleep while they write
I won’t obey the laws, I won’t abide
When I can’t even go out walking
I can barely see the sky past the cross

With God Inside You
02:22
|
|||
I wonder what you think about
In church when your mouth says prayers
Your mouth says prayers
and you join hands with a man
I wonder what you think about
In bed when your wife lies bare beside you
and there is god inside you
A father with a father
With God Inside You

Barbarians of Grey Fire
03:10

Paralyzed in the freezing rain
I kiss his heart
In terror, you zip a disguise
Far above your angel hair does it stretch
It must be dark in there
I see the grey
The grey
Now in the house made of skin
You stretch it
Out in front of you
Willy Boy tell me you’re here
Saddle up and tell me it’s you on that horse
and not a white man you portray, just until the movie is finished
When you leave the screen, is it murder?
Is it up for the audience to decide –
“Do those stirrups stay on all the time?”
“Did you pick out that ensemble yourself?”
Cowboy tell me it’s you!
Tell me what the wild west is like
Hand on gun all the time
Is your cowboy hat
Just a shield
Just a shield for your mind?
Anti-me and Anti-you
Drink to the rock inside of your shoe
Inside your guts is a dark primal fashion
It’s good for you
You’re half a man and half something else
A woman and a beast, a man and a
A man and a startling secret
It’s all you, girl
It must be dark in there
I see the grey
The grey
Now in the house made of skin
You stretch it
Out in front of you

Cake with Candles
03:03
|
|||
The lowest floor
Boundaries come down like sharks
When your head droops in sleepy ache
May you be wrapped in linens warm
On down the ride
Passed between loving hands
Mothers sigh to give you up
Floral sheets hug your sides
Arms pass down the child fine
Arms are sides of fortress divine
Arms stretching long
To wrap you up
Exquisite care should be the law
Noel, must you wait for your cake?
Noel
Wish a mother for you
A litter full of giggling tikes
A dream of night lights
Arms pass down the child fine
Arms are sides of fortress divine
Passed between loving hands
Mothers sigh to give you up
Floral sheets hug your sides
Arms pass down the child fine
Arms are sides of fortress divine

AVA Winter → Spring

Somewhere between my back and front
AVA, are you in there?
Am I in this room?
Is there / am I something
creeping up to the window behind me?
Blinds behind/between my eyes
I can’t see you/her with my own eyes
My own girl unknown to me
Dear your face is blurry
Am I a soldier on a front?
AVA, are you out there?
Among persons, you’re one too
Have I become/inversed a person (of) who I’ve fantasized?
Naval collapsing through pelvis
Myself/organs in darkness
Pushing my body to the ground
I birth myself / the Earth turns around
Sisterhood to thee, it’s me
I love you / I love you / I love you / I love you
I have become you
A/no fantasy, it’s me
I love you
I love you

Divine Is Mine
02:33

This guy says that her body is the
Best equipped to have the most fun
I’ll stick a steak in between my legs and
Go into town wearing a party dress
I’m gawking big while she’s walking real big
I’m stalking the park to catch a meal in
She’ll stick a steak in between her legs and
Go into town wearing a party dress
Fabrics blouses, I’m certain I am
Best equipped to have all of them on
I’ll stick my chest in to a tight vest and
Go into town as certainly best dressed
Divine Is Mine

Metropolis Rock

I see buildings standing tall
I see busses stretching long
One day our bus hit a man
The rest of our day went as planned
Ain’t it everything you need from me?
You know more the more brains you eat
You’re a giant spitting fire
You’re veins are telephone wires
You’re a moloch spilling out
I can barely get around
Get a load of this
Make it blow out your eyes
Detonate with fists
For my hands, you will cry
and someone
Someone will take me away from you
Uh-Huh
Uh-Huh
Uh-Huh
Police cars are looking meaner
City trees are looking thinner
Bulldozers parked all around
There’s no place without a sound
Ain’t there such a thing as an opening?
Water towers above us all
Billboard faces make me small
Pressed together more than not
Hit the sentinel with all you’ve got
Get a load of this
Make it blow out your eyes
Detonate with fists
For my hands, you will cry
and someone
Someone will take me away from you
Uh-Huh
Uh-Huh
Uh-Huh

I Can See In
01:02
|

The gap is disappearing
Your big toe taps my chest
Warmth throughout your body all day
A giant green room with windows
I Can See In
I Can See In
I Can See Into You
Sinking into a warm bath
With flower shells and scrunchy towels
That was the best I’d had in ages
I’m looking at an age courageous
Kisses sweet
Kisses funny
Kisses sad
Kisses Kisses Kisses
I Can See In
I Can See Into You

Big Armed Truck Driver
04:31

This place in the game is a full-time job
I will take all the time I need
To be full of nutrition in a state full of rough men
I’m a Texan too and I’ll shine in the face of a big armed pig man
I can be tough like a big armed truck driver
I’ve seen more than a big armed truck driver
Stand in green
The land is open to you and me
Out in the country
You don’t own It just because you can shoot me
I will drive through Bardwell and
Defend from the jackals who’ve never seen a gem like me
Who may squirm and wince at the sight of me
A chest with out hair, little breast for you to snare
Does it make you scared that I’m not like you or your wife?
Well thank goodness
I may not have plastic balls on my truck
Or know how to hunt down my meat
Or flex while I fuck
but I can be tough like a big armed truck driver
I’ve seen more than a big armed truck driver
Stand in green
The land is open to you and me
Out in the country
You don’t own It just because you can shoot me
I will drive through Bardwell and
Defend from the jackals who’ve never seen a gem like me
Be my muse man I know that you need me
Without us there’s nothing for you to stand on
You have nothing
Do you miss those slaves in your yard?
Or the days when your wife wasn’t hard?
Do you fight back tears for your patriarchy?

Chests Full Of Air
03:25
|
|||
The girth of the Earth surely has enough tender faces
To conquer one wrinkled man
Gather enough burdened friends around me
To shield me from the encroaching phantom shards
Let a burdened idol stand for me
Against the rotted gourd man
I see his face in mine
I apologize for myself
Let’s surround
Let’s surround our bodies with air
Meet me in a room full of air
A room with curtains and chairs
Just us with our pure of hearts
Get pebbles of colors around me
Lay back in lighted bubble foam
Beat a bunch of bland stale afternoons
Your chest may feel rotten again and again
But it heals and renews
It heals and renews
and engorges with air
Meet me in a room full of air
A room with curtains and chairs
Just us with our pure of hearts
Meet me in a room full of air
A room with curtains and chairs
Meet me in a room full of air
A room with curtains and chairs
Just us with chests full of air
GOD BLESS US
WE BLESS GOD
BAD BE GONE
WE ARE STARS

Song of My Birth
02:39
|

I didn’t mean at all to tell a lie if I didn’t know
Nor to tease anyone
Ice in tea with Ana Talulah
I didn’t know that she was anyone
Ana didn’t lie when too many thieves draped long over her door
Until dark, until she locked in
Her teeth were knocked with fervor in
I didn’t know, I didn’t know
Devil he’s turning fast into hearts with the heat
Party lights starting to advise two eyes to mine
I didn’t know with magic, I didn’t need to
Want you to do what you want to do now
Bubbling and setting too fast to know
What’s me or what’s eating me
This dinner would be a lot returned
To the dead dick of a father
I slid into the empty bag
I was so alive I didn’t need to learn
