*~* Bliss *~* 

 Father I killed my monkey 
I let it out 
to taste the sweet of spring 
wonder if I will wander out 
test my tether to 
see if I'm still free 
from you 

steady as it comes 
right down 
to you 
I've said it all 
so maybe we're a Bliss 
of another kind 

lately, I'm in to circuitry 
what it means to be 
made of you but not enough of you 
and I wonder if 
you can bilocate is that what I taste 
your supernova juice 
you know it's true I'm a part of you 

steady as it comes 
right down to you 
I've said it all 
so maybe you're a 4 horse engine 
with a power drive 
a hot kachina who want into mine 
take with your terracide 
we're a Bliss of another kind 




*~* Juarez *~*

 
 
 dropped off the edge again down in jaurez 
"don't even bat an eye 
if the eagle cries" the rasta man says, 
just cause the desert likes young girls flesh and 
no angel came 

i don't think you even know 
what you think you just said 
so go on spill your seed 
shake your gun to the rasta man's head 
and the desert- she must be blessed and 
no angel came 

there's a time to keep it up 
a time to keep it in 
the indian is told 
the cowboy is his friend 
you know that i can breathe 
even when i cheat 
should. should've been over for me 
no angel came 



*~* Concertina *~*

 
clouds descending 
i'm not policing 
what you think and dream 
i run into your thought from 
across the room 
just another trick can i 
weather this 
i've got a fever above my waist 
you got a squeeze box on your knee 
i know the truth is in between the 
1st and the 40th drink 
concertina concertina a chill that bends 
this i swear you're the fiercest calm 
i've been in the soul quake 
happened here in a glass world 
particle by particle she slowly changes 
she likes hanging chinese paper cuts just 
another fix 
can i weather this 
i got my fuzz all tipped to play 
i got a dub on your landscape 
then there's your policy of trancing 
the sauce without the blame too far 
too far too far it could all get way too cheerful 
concertina i know the truth lies in 
between the 1st and 40th drink 
clouds descending 




  
 

*~* Glory Of The 80's *~*

 

i took a taxi form LA to Venus 
in 1985 i was electromagnetically sucked 
back into a party going on that night 
it was the glory of the 80s with karma drawn up in lines 
and 2 bugle boy models saying "baby it's a freebie 
you sure look deprived." I had the 
Story of O in my bucket seat 
of my wanna be mustang 
auditioning for reptiles in their 
Raquel Welsh campaign 
in the glories of the 80s you said 
"I'm not afraid to die" I said 
I don't find that remotely funny, even 
on this space cake high 
and then when it all seemed clear 
just then you go and disappear 
silicone party babies to the left 
and Joan of Arcs to the right 
no one feeling insecure 
we were all gorge and famous in our last lives 
in the glories of the 80s you said 
"the end is nothing to fear" I said 
blow the end 
now baby who do i gotta shag to get outta here 
and then when it all seemed clear 
just then you go and disappear 
sure you're out there orbiting around 
wish i had you back now 
i met a drag king called venus 
she had a velvet hologram she said 
"my husband ran off with my shaman but they love me as i am" 
in the glories of the 80s 
i may not have to die 
i'll clone myself like that blonde chick 
that sings Bette Davis eyes and then 
when it all seemed to clear 
just then 
you go and disappear 


*~* Lust *~*

 
hey you gender nectar sifting 
through the grain of gold tripping at 
your door is that you. alpha in her blood 
and when the woman lies you don't 
believe her 
rolling and unrolling 
coiling emerging 
running free 
running through the underworld 
into your room 

is he real or a ghost-lie 
she feels she isn't heard 
and the veil tears and rages 
till her voices are remembered 
and his secrets can be told 

hey you gender nectar 
crystalline from the vine 
you know you'll drink her 
rolling and unrolling 
coiling emerging running free 
running through the afterworld 
into your room so she prays 
for a prankster and lust 
in the marriage bed 
and he waits till she can give 
and he waits and he 
waits 




 

*~* Suede *~*

 

suede you always felt like suede 
there are days i feel your twin 
peekaboo hiding underneath your skin 
jets. are revving yes revving 
and this. has power over me. not because 
you feel something 
or don't feel something for me 
but because. mass. so big. 
it can swallow swallow her whole star intact. 
call me 'evil' call me 
'tide is on your side' anything that you want. 
anybody knows you can conjure anything 
by the dark side of the moon. boy. and if 
you keep your silence silencer on 
you'll talk yourself right into a job. 
out of a hole into my bayou 
i'm sure that you've been briefed my 
absorption lines. they are frayed and i fear. 
my fear is greater than my faith 
but i walk. the missionary way. 
you always felt like suede 
there are days i am your twin 
peekaboo hiding underneath your skin 
jets. are revving. yes revving from 
an ether twist . 
call me 'evil' little sister. I guess 
i'd do the same. little sister. 
you'll forgive me one day.

*~* Josephine *~*

 
not tonight josephine. 

in an army's strength therein 
lies the denouement. From 
here you're haunting me. By 
the Seine so beautiful, only 
not to be of use-- impossible. 

so strange, victory- 1200 spires 
the only sound, moscow burning. 
empty like the Tuileries. Like a dream 
Vienna seems, only not to be of use- impossible. 

in the last extremity -- to 
advance or not to advance- I 
hear you laughing 

even still you're calling me 
"not tonight, not tonight 

not tonight" 

Josephine 

*~* Riot Poof *~*

 
you know what you know so you go break the terror of the urban spell 
this alliance you say 'i'm on the threshold of greatness girl' so you burn 
your pagoda through the congo till there's a broken bond 
on the birth of the search white trash 
my native son 

it will all find its way in time 

blossom riot poof 

you know what you know so you go chain her to your flow 
she bites through your lean dried meatas she's 
going to the movie show 
in a bath of gliter and a tiny shiver 
she crawls through your lava sea 
black sahara 
i'm stepping into your space oddity 

it will all find its way in time 

blossom riot poof 

the sun is warming 
my man is moistening 
on the bomb 
on the bond 
on the bomb

*~* Spring Haze *~*

 

well i know it's just a spring haze 
but i don't much like the look of it 
and if omens are a god send 
like men breezing in 
certain these clouds go somewhere 
billowing outto somewhere 
n a single engine cessna 
you say we'll never make it there 
all we do is circle it 

uh oh. let go. off on my way 
unsee this eternal wanting. 
let go 
way to go 
so i get creamed 
waiting on Sunday to drown 
waiting on sunday to drown 

and i know it's just a spring haze 
but i don't much like the look of it 
but all we do is circle it 
and i found out where my edge is 
ad it bleeds into where you resist 
and my only way out 
is to go so far in 
billowing out to somewhere 
billowing out luna riviera 
waiting on sunday to land 
waitng on sunday to drown 
why. does. it. always end up like this 
waiting on sunday 
so i get creamed 
waiting for sunday to drown 





 

*~* 1000 Oceans *~*

 
these tears i've cried 
i've cried 1000 oceans 
and if it seems i'm. floating. 
in the darkness 
well, i can't believe that i would kep. 
keep you from flying 
and i would cry 1000 more if that's 
what it takes to sail you home 
sail you home sail you home 

i'm aware what the rules are 
but you know that i will run 
you know that i will follow you 
over silbury hill through the solar field 
you know that i wil follow you 

and if i find you. will you. still remember 
playing at trains 
or does this little blue ball 
just fade away. 
over silbury hill through the solar field 
you know that i will follow you. 
i'm aware what the rules are 
but you know that i will run 
you know that i will follow you 

these tears i've cried 
i've cried 1000 oceans 
and if i'm. floating. 
in the darkness 
well, i can't believe that i would kep. 
keep you from flying 
and i will cry 1000 more if that's 
what it takes to sail you home 
sail you home sail you home
