under pink moons
I will watch the fire rise
under pink moons
trickle of the ocean on me
under pink moons
Sadie Hawkins every night
under pink moons
walkin in the Old Kingdom crypt
[got a mini concert pit that follows me home, ancient branches scratch the skies won’t leave me alone]
under pink moons
walkin in a planet of glass
under pink moons
brittle candy skull made of mints
under pink moons
you can see the plants in the dark
under pink moons
an avalanche of glitter marquees
[ I am strange to all the kids in Sangertown Square, I will talk to anyone if no body’s there, when you’ve made a list of names they follow you home, we’ll sleep in Roman amphitheatres under the bones]
under pink moons
I will watch the fire rise
under pink moons
trickle of the ocean on me
under pink moons
Sadie Hawkins every night
under pink moons
walkin in the Old Kingdom crypt
under pink moons

“Black Bird” in the night you dreamed it all of your life you dreamed it all of your life - what if I end up knifed will I become the wire will I become The Wire?

good tats and cheep but them books ain't free they got radio eyes they got radio eyes –
manicured spikes like your daddies grass they got dogteeth they got dog teeth
walkin round rugged in your baby fat they got dogteeth they got dogteeth.
“Black Bird” in the night you dreamed it all of your life you dreamed it all of your life - what if I'm crucified - will I become the champ - the king of all the rats.

your cold right hand
your cold right hand
your cold right hand
your cold right hand
I’ll do the hunting you can wear the coon cap
I’ll take the punches you can have the rent check
a dosed dumbed down cartoon version of me
money for the servants for the marionettes
ba baby please give me fleas when I’m itching on knees gonna be eradicated speak Chinese
your cold right hand
your cold right hand
your cold right hand
your cold right hand
in the cherry throne the lion sleeps alone
why should we be jealous?
he just has all the bones
regal Pariah dogs share their little bit with hogs
and the pigs return the favor says to Charlotte “see ya later”
your cold right hand
your cold right hand
your cold right hand
your cold right hand

we always said we’d come back
arthritic cannibals, draconian trash
weird, the old gods are coming home
Easter Island gonna save my bones
rock steady in your Morrissey tan
stunned white faces buried in the sand
gimme no love no fascination
gimme no soul no fascination
gimme no bread no fascination
gimme no eyes no fascination
hear the syncopated marching, drum-machines
[26,000 open apple c]
no conviction, heads in atrophy
silver spoon eyes and their faces clean
gimme no love no fascination
gimme no heart no fascination
gimme no soul no fascination
gimme no eyes no fascination
gimme no love no fascination
gimme no heart no fascination
gimme no soul no fascination
gimme no eyes no fascination

Laughing

she’s only laughing every night
she’s only haunted by a sea horse
she’s only troubled by the minnows and shills in cracks yet filled
she don’t know what to do with her passion
she don’t know what to do with her passion
she’s only laughing every night
check out the weasel in the tree top, spoke tales of: vanishing, a crown, double galaxy, Major Phil
she don’t want - know what Joan of Arc felt
sea foam baby, sings to the Catskills
in a sense we don’t see her
when I gotta go there’s always room for none
in a safe unmarked theatre
tickets up for sale there’s always shows for none
she’s only laughing every night
check out the halogen in Amherst
a tidal wave of coming films, sketches scribbled on a napkin spill
she don’t know what to do with her passion
she don’t know what to do with her passion
she don’t know what to do with her passion
she don’t know what to do with her passion

see the Pilot ferrying blood
slash sugar cane stick and grind it down
jack asses validated in papyrus God save kings
all the wicker dancing tramps of islands, pious priestess pull your eyelids, candle lit vigil for the gilded siren, God save kings
well I prayed in tune to your crescent moon now blood is on my chest and a dead man’s boots, cradling the gun, my last of kin, God save kings ho!
[when I came to the valley I saw your name and I can’t get myself through a night again till I cut em down from the lynchers on the horses that you play
hear the drums beckoning the pirate prince, rattle my bones in the widow fields, I can see the flags comin over the hills, God
save kings]
see the pilot ferrying blood

Weekend Train

I met a cool Major sitten with a drummer from a band
a steady face conductor checkin on your “where to” stamp
I took a seat and I trembled on the old café
and that’s the kind of thing that happens on a weekend train goin to the North Adirondacks lookin for some green glass heard they got a lot of coins round Civil War latrines
bashful slimy urchin martyr in the boggy canal
and that’s the kind of thing that happens on a weekend train
you can find yourself in places that ya haven’t planned
I use to live in pine green Brockport with a woman who’s insane
she had a dog that wasn’t mine, it was hot and muggy all the time
and that’s the kind of thing that happens on a weekend train
your arrival departure well it’s all the same
going to the North Adirondacks looking for some green glass
going to the North Adirondacks looking for some green glass
