Pretty...Slow (1996)
wrongy wrong
she leans on my backbone
she pulls off my headphones
she says something's gone wrongy wrong
she slips on her lip gloss
she says "kiss me quickly"
something's gone wrongy wrong
and i put on my headphones
and act like nothing's wrong
i am your king
idiot idiot
i am full of it
and I got a whole lot to say
it just takes me a while
i can make you laugh, make you look
make your life miserable
i am your king
and you are my thing
why do you smile?
i've been studious, fastidious
errand boy-diculous
and I'm gonna die
why do you smile?
hide face
i hide my face
like liars do
sometimes i feel bad
i just look away
i hide my face
in the corner
you looked so sweet in your macaroon dress
i watched from the corner
remember me
i won't forget
how i watched from the corner
there is a time when we first met
when we sat in a corner
there is a time something forget
we kissed in a corner
we made out in a corner
from heaven
saturday night
wasting my time
doing what all good folk desire
spinning my wheels
shooting the breeze
and hoping that no one sees me crying
she was the one
the one i would love forever
she was the one from heaven
one eye out the door
sleep with one eye and
she waits for no one
and she's gone
fall down the stairs
i tripped on her good foot that we cut off for fun
i could feel the wine and heat
mostly drunk she turns my back for me
still one eye out the door
sometimes wonder is serious
sleep with one eye and she waits for no one
and she's gone
just one eye out the door
it's your feet that make me think i'm her
monkey does his thing
she came home to run away
clothes to be taken
but when she got there
the locks on the door had been changed
that's how monkey does his thing
monkey is my name
he is the monkey
monkey sweet brain
monkey tells me everything to do and say
that's how monkey does his thing
drunken and backward
live on wine
that's how mokey does his thing
shotgun (h)ours
shotgun hours
like 50 below
shotgun hours
chances you take
and the rabbit turns rose
you've been born with a thousand things on your mind
shotgun hours
held in your hands
shotgun hours
pushing the point between the muscle and skin
and like a good friend i never know what to say
still coming to claw on the door
and still look at the sky reaching for the shotgun
still pound on the lock on the door
and still i look at the sky
and don't know what i'm looking for
Baby Loves A Funny Bunny (1996)
swinger
backed in, come again?
graceless without trying
retard, you work too hard
jealous 'cause she's lying down
oh no, here it goes
stuck here without cab fare
upstart, cold heart
skateboard 'cause she's broken down
you swing your leg
(and it's long)
maybe baby
love me 2
i'm a looker
no, not good looking
just good at looking
and when i wear her clothes you'll love me too
just like i knew you would
like a mother should
more than i ever could
like a new you
tired
you know my jokes and i know your ire
and you help me out when i catch on fire
we never tire
cuckold my heart like a hermetic liar
and i come apart after a while when you snarl
never you mind that you're looking so tired
cause we never tire
so never you mind
22 no
when i met you in the laundromat
you said be cool
i said i can't do that
no no no
why do I complain?
i'll never know
i'll never
no
nice burg, lettuce
she switched to low tops when the time was right
and the time was right
that's what i like to think about her
she pierced her navel it was not an accident
and though i like accidents
it's not the only time i think about her
ballet high
ballet high
softer than below
i could cry for all i know
i don't know why that i am almost like a girl
oh me oh my
ain't it going slow
like some road in ohio
but what was black and white will soon be brown and gold
how about tonight?
part of me
part of me is okay
part of me is a baby
part of me is for you
part of me doesn't know what to do
all in all i'm broken
part of me is a pawn shop river
part of me keeps an eye on my malady
part of me doesn't doubt dereliction
part of me never sees the blowaway
all in all i'm broken
part of me is in deep constant fear
part of me likes it black like a sunday job
part of me is beyond restitution and
part of me never sees the blowaway
rococo
you go rococo
buzzin round in your room
you flow rococo
buzzin round in your room
you are rococo
fuzzin out after school
you're so rococo
naked in your silk cocoon
you'll go rococo
fuzzin out in your room
like you
how come i keep meeting people cooler than i am?
it makes me sick just looking at them
i know there's no real reason for me to feel this way
i wanna be like you
it's a scene, you're a sight for sore eyes and you know
well, really i'm too fucking stupid
to know that i don't belong at this place anyway
no, there's no real reason for me to feel this way
i wanna be like you
loosened mind?
he's got insomnia
she's gettin tired
he thinks he's Romeo
and she thinks he's loosenin his mind
in California they stand upright
he stands for polio
and she understands he's loose in his mind
please be kind
crush a butterfly
hanging out on love me avenue
expectation barely shining through
i was always falling for ya baby
pouring out the poetry like i was truly
caught in clouds of butterflies
i'll sick a butterfly on you
and i don't wanna be your martyr baby
and i don't wanna see you shake my hand loose
caught in clouds of butterflies
in colors i can't speak
i'll crush a butterfly for you
whimper and cry
she walks among us
we thought that she'd disappeared
kidnapped or promoted we'd feared
bi-gendered, but probably not queer
so she walks
she sleeps among us
quiet still trying to hide
uncovered but never untied
we never whimpered and she never cried
she sleeps so

le serpent
the serpent embraces me like I was the serpent the higher I climb up the tail of the vine of the muscadine I'm gathering to the top of the tree where the limbs become thin and they bend toward the ground shaking off branches and making mistakes as I lay my cheek next to the head of the snake and I freeze and I think tonight may be the tonight that I sleep with the serpent embraces me like I was vermin

blind beauty talking to a blind beauty about beauty talking to the red brigade about the blue talking about a fairy tale let's talk about something else, we don't know ourselves me and you
Cupid's Cactus (2001)
glass charms
her charms belie a painful past
her throat is dry she lifts her glass
of whiskey rye too fast to drink
the last few drops roll down her cheek
and she laughs and wipes her mouth for me
her looks should be in magazines
walking and talking like a movie queen
then there’s that which she calls
"not for me" and she knows
the life that she let go for me
and her glass never said to me
"i’ll drink to that"
and she laughs and raises up her glass
high
feels like i’m on air
wasn’t i too new to be true
too old to be anywhere
denizens of the chosen breed
i wouldn’t dance to this beat
someday aisle
someday i’ll wake up
and i’ll cease to babble
about things i don’t want to know
i cannot fathom the logic of dreams
someday i’ll stop wasting your time
i’m done wasting your time
dandelion ditch
dandelion ditch
picture perfect
flowery glow
closing on which
crossing the bridge
over the rainbow
dandelion ditch
wunderkind
shine shine shine
dandelion ditch
my wunderkind
shine shine shine
melt
give that song a line
as i walk along outside
shoot this full of holes
be like fire
melt my lazy eye
salt and rain
feel them and drink thine
panties off
she takes her panties off
she covers when she coughs
she makes a face
and under her shaky hands
she pumps monkey love like medicine
and she finds a place to be in
and after the stuff wears off
she puts her panties on
and she makes a face
she loses her place
and she turns away when she coughs
awright
hopefully it’s alright
hoping it’s alright
are you hopelessly upright?
it’s alright
look at me as with you
together we’ll be alright
it’s alright
hopefully it’s alright
it’s alright
it’s going to be alright
you are she he is you
together we’ll be contrived
it’s alright
it’s unbelievable
take your time to work things through
nothing’s been done that you can’t undo
same old dance to the same old song
and the people all there just to get it wrong
it’s unbelievable
this one you love and this one you hate
put them all together and shake shake shake
pour it out and it’s still the same
you know what it’s about but you can’t explain
because it’s unbelievable
so i won’t believe it at all
never alone
i’ve got barely a soul
you’re like falling down
could there be less sound
if we crouch down low?
it’s being out of bounds
when you’re being alone
you never feel alone
when you’re drinking rounds
it’s so easy to say
quit your feeling down
take a ride into town
nothing’s easy this way
you never feel alone
you never feel alone
flowers
flowers battered by rain
swung by the sway of the flowers
? by dirt
breath in decay
? drippy drops
incredibly flowers
respond
lazy lazy baby
why don’t you respond?
lazy little baby
why don’t you respond?
why do you lie there like there’s
neither eye nor tongue

lazy lazy lazy
you lie so quietly
with such repose from head to toe
so silently
lazy lazy baby

got sun all around when i’m finally found
