New Dress

She’s got a new dress
It’s her Saturday best
Sweet threads – firecracker red
Block-heel sandals as accent
It’s her Saturday dress
Feeling warm, feeling her best
She’s proudly wearing that dress
And all her friends are so impressed
Pulls the dress up her hips
She’s gonna make love in it
No sleep – keeps it up all night
Bunched against her torso tight
Now it’s her Sunday dress
Feeling warm, feeling her best
Yes, she’s still wearing that dress
And all her neighbors turn their heads
Now it’s her Sunday dress
Feeling warm, feeling her best
Yes, she’s still wearing that dress
And her smile is luminescent

Spray Paint

who needs canvas?
the walls surround
caged in by concrete
trash on the ground
clocks tick-tock
a face drawn quick
stabbing lines from the hand
(such a fuss, but it ain’t much)
everyone step up
everyone step up
everyone step up
take a look, take look, take a look
hell yes, the city regenerates grime
and spray paint marks time
rival designs gettin’ covered over
art festering in such dingy holes
everyone step up
everyone step up
everyone step up
take a look, take look, take a look
Then she took off her clothes
And ran naked down the alley
The muse: she’s always five steps ahead
here be smoke and drugs
drinkers and thinkers
crowded in and backed up
rattling cans, tagging ever higher
fucking with a live wire
everyone step up
everyone step up
everyone step up
take a look, take look, take a look
Then she took off her clothes
And ran naked down the alley
The muse: she’s always five steps ahead

Blow Down The House

Imagery flutters
Like butterfly wings
Dancing on the back of tainted memories
I’ve seen that smile
And I’ve seen your savagery
There are so many goddamn reasons to run far away
It’s only a matter of time
Until this house of cards collapses
There’s really no use in trying
To protect what’s already been broken
Evasive actions
Conceited attitude
You’ve been breaking hearts
Breaking all the rules
Who’s pulling your chain?
What has taken over you?
Friction rubbed a massive hole through the fabric of truth
Dead moths lie scattered
Across the kitchen floor
Same place I found you seven times before
I’ve been in denial
Harbored your dishonesty
There are so many goddamn reasons to run far away

Carved Up
05:44

|
I’ve gone inside
Not gonna go out to play
I’ve gone inside
There’s not much left of me
Tourniquets and tightropes
Testing the body, pushing the edge
Empty feelings in my head
This heart feels cold and dead
Ooooooooooaaahhh
Ooooooooooaaahhh
Passing time by the window
Watching clouds swirl
Hours, days and weeks have passed
All alone.... ain’t much left
Pages of poems – all just emptiness
Moving silently – like a ghost (not rooted)
Shot glasses – alcoholic hymnals sung every night
Gone inside – carved up by this inferior complex of mine
Frayed edges of sanity
Frayed edges of sanity
Frayed edges of sanity
Frayed edges of sanity
Got me carved up
Fuckin’ carved up
Carve me up, baby...
Running the edge of the knife down my arms, down my legs, gonna bleed, bleed, bleed out tonight
Running the edge of the knife across my neck, gonna plunge it straight into my chest
Fuckin’ carved up
That’s what you’ve done, baby
Got me carved up

Those Eyes

Those eyes
Staring at me again
Can’t deny
The serious depth of those blues
It makes you spin – so confused
All those tears distorting the view
You’re crying
Not gonna be your fixer
You’re crying
Not gonna be that man
It makes you spin – so confused
All those tears distorting the view
You’re crying...
As I walk away
Yes, you’re crying
Hard to believe it’s happening
Earth, moon, and stars spinning uncontrollably
And you’re crying
Mascara running down your face
Always know that my edges are your cliffs to fall from
Oh, ain’t that true?
Those eyes, the sky, your soul
All so blue
So blue
Can’t decide
Sleep with the sinners or the saints?
You’re hiding
From those who will only leave
It makes you spin – so confused
All those tears distorting the view

She wants to know...
Lost on the road to nowhere
Lights dazzled as she touched my hand
Red flags unfurled in the melee
Lives held together by meaninglessness
She wants to know...
Such a vacant stare...
Your mind seems gone.
What have you taken?
What are you on?”
A departing train
A flight going away
A car on the road
A rocket into space
Intoxicating splendors
Minds ripped open and blown apart
So many uncertainties
Hearts held together by good luck charms
She wants to know...
What have you taken?
What are you on?
Such a vacant stare...
Your mind seems gone.
Mesmerized by the music
We act out in desperate ways
Where we end our days gets decided by the risky decisions we make
She wants to know...
It might be the yellow brick road

Quick & Easy Charms
04:47
|
|||
|
You vanished from the scene while in New Orleans
A jazz queen (good times guaranteed)
Dredging up buckets of shit downstream
Calendar days piling up like the dust you were snorting
And I loved you for what it was worth
Quick and easy charms
You know I would do it again
Even if it breaks my heart
Kill the clocks, slapped silly by a gal without heels
Short stuff on the high table (swinging round that pole like a tornado)
Driftin’ outta Austin and out hoppin’ the waves
That ship sank to the bottom where dinosaurs met fate
And I loved you for what it was worth
Quick and easy charms
You know I would do it again
Even if it breaks my heart
And your makeup is still smeared across mirrors
Here in the dive bars of downtown’s core
Always downbeat, subterranean
Feeling the ache – feeling alienated
And I loved you for what it was worth
Quick and easy charms
You know I would do it again
Even if it breaks my heart
Gettin’ laughed at by the muthafuckin fellas in the bar
The hangers-on courtin’ your skirts for quick pleasures
There it was – straight as an arrow on the map
You grabbed your stuff and disappeared (ghosted everyone)
And I’ll love you again
Even if it breaks my heart
Even if it breaks my heart
Even if it breaks my heart
Even if it breaks my heart
Even if it breaks my heart
...oh yes,
You broke my heart

Empty bed
But I’m not hiding
Time ticks on
And I’m not crying
I’d like to believe in love
But where can I find it?
Cobwebs, dust, murky windows
Drama, lust, shadow heroes
Pennies for my eyes
Every night
Sends me dreaming...
Stretching tempos
Continuous flux
How many moons
Got me in this rut?
Pennies for my eyes
Every night
Sends me dreaming...
Is this room gonna be the last?
Is this room gonna be the last?
Is this room gonna be my last?
Empty bed
But I’m not hiding
Time ticks on
And I’m not crying
I’d like to believe in love
But where can I find it?
Tell me where
Tell me where
Tell me where
Hope springs eternal when I’m thinking of you
All the crazy things I know we will do
I know you’re out there
I know you’re out there
Empty streets – we’re hiding in these rooms
Empty streets – we’re hiding in these rooms
I’d like to believe
I’d like to believe
I’d like to believe in love
Empty bed
But I’m not hiding
Time ticks on
And I’m not crying
Pennies for my eyes
Sends me dreaming...
