Heavy Love

Never let me down – you’ll do it again
Never let me down – you’ll do it again
Never let me down – you’ll do it again
Forever here, and everywhere
The bitching’s older than God
The picture’s older than God
And even He has
Had enough, had enough of the heavy love
Had enough
Savor the time, you’re the last of the line
Whimper and a bang - used to be right
Whimper and a bang - used to be right
Whimper and a bang - used to be right
Whimpering’s still fine, but now we have
Had enough, had enough of your heavy love
Had enough
Nothing is fixed, everything’s fixed
The only truth is the word you never tell yourself

Wish You Were Her

Get out of my head
I’m out
Don’t need no reason I just know you know what I know
I wish you were her
You were
She killed the thrills of country life
Maybe you should try
Come on, out of me!
Even though you own it all
You got no soul
You’re a mirror posing for the world
The more I stare the less I see
What you could be
All you got is less than what you own
For all of your shine
You’re mine
Who hasn’t heard your only lines?
I heard your laugh’s a line
A new world
Denied
Cause I’m
Resigned
To this
Bag of meat
Even though you own it all
You got no soul
You’re a mirror posing for the world
The more you say the less you mean
You changed so easily
Sucking up donations, down you go
Sell your mother, bleed the ape
Who’s so past her prime, it ain’t hard to see
You’re not getting anymore from me
When all your family’s gone away
Then I will have your soul
It’s not worth another note to me
You don’t need a voice when you got no soul
Don’t need a voice when you live alone
Even though you own it all
You got no soul

I Can't Take You Home
04:00

Oh Darling, I could hold you forever and forever
And maybe if we freeze time our hearts will never sever
I can’t take you home, I can’t take you home
There someone waits who’ll blow me away
Now Monday was just murder
Tuesday? Just like Monday
Every second, every heartbeat
Drags a hot slug down a razor
I can’t take you home, I can’t take you home
Home clipped my wings, now all I do is sing
Oh Darling, I could hold you forever and forever
And maybe if we played dead then we could live forever
I can’t take you home, I can’t take you home
Home clipped my wings, now all I do…
Ain’t it sick?
Ain’t it sick? Ain’t it sick?
Ain’t it sick? All so sick?
Fetching black angels sing it for me
Oh come on say you will, say you will
Say you will, say you will
Oh say you will, say you will
Maybe will, oh Baby will
You have the will, to really will
The only thrill that really thrills
Oh say you will, and saved you will
Always be
Eternally

The Race to Space
05:37
|
|

Everyone is a loaded gun
The kids are stupid and cruel
In my short life I’ve learned to hide
I’ve learned the meaning of this factory school
She was bright, elevated and light
All week I peeked hungrily
Then our class attacked and her vanishing act
Began with a slip and scream
Don’t believe what you seen
Sam’s not dead, she drowned
She’s not dead, she drowned
Sam’s not dead, she drowned
She’s not dead
I’ve been born again and buried alive
The race to space is worth it again
I search for Sam in the sky
Back in hell there’s a lie they tell
The new girl transferred away
But my whole school held her down in the pool
The coach watched her slip down the drain
And he’ll do it again
Sam’s not dead, she drowned
She’s not dead, she drowned
Sam’s not dead, she drowned
She’s not dead
I’ve been born again and buried alive
The race to space is worth it again
I search in the sky
I’ve been born again in fire and ice
The race to space is over and won
I search for Sam in the stars
Hey coach you still around?
Now, now… she never drowned
He says yeah I know
I let her go
They don’t return, they’re never found
It’s just kids drowning again
Past the locks below the grates
Runs a path miles deep that the plumbing makes
For the moon-eyed girl with the clever hands
It’s a clean escape to the lunar sands
Through the river motorboating her out to sea
Of Serpent and Serenity
Then the long climb up through the stratosphere
Into orbit, outer space, and away from here
It’s just kids drowning again

Your Heart Is Boring
03:25
|
|
||
|
On my way down I saw your guts on the ocean floor
So you had died – who’s alive anymore?
Nobody loves you, nobody loves you
Even me, me…
So they dragged you to the vet
Well that’s what you get
Your kitschy emotion from the store was a bore
Nobody loves you, nobody loves you
Cause you’re boring
Your heart, it is boring
Boring me, me…
Try me some more
Stretch me down to the floor
Bleeding so patiently til I’m old enough
You know my desire
My angel wings are on fire
For the cold kind of light
That pulls me in, kills, drops me to ground
On the train home, dining car, we drank to your hungry arms
Your heartbroken heartbeat is no more, what a bore
Nobody loves you, nobody loves you
Cause you’re boring
Your heart, it is boring
Boring me, me… and I’m gone
He said, she stayed
She stayed, he said
She stayed
And there’s
No getting rid of you

Angels
03:01
|
|
||
|
Try leaving your body
It’s worth much more than it hurts
You can drop like an angel
Freefalling to Earth
Gone away, they’re done, they gone away
Gone away, home to their own lodge
Gone away, they’re done, they gone away
To white and black
In my room there is always fire, Dad
Your teeth are like knives, sharpened and shined
Ev’ry time that you talk
You’ll burst into fire
Dropdiving through space
No angels there to save you
Cause they’ve all gone away
Gone away, they’re done, they gone away
Gone away, home to their own lodge
Gone away, they’re done, they gone away
They don’t come back
Before the book, before you checked out way too young
You were a desire, you were fed
Leaving bones in my bed
When they believe in me
I’ll love you more, doncha know?
I feed your heart with my black eyes, my black soul…
I even hate your rock and roll
But I love that soul…
Love that soul
Love that soul
Love that soul

Baby's in the Bag
03:56
|
|
||
|
I know where you’ll go
No one slips by me
Episodes play in my head of every trick you tore to shreds
No one ever screws me like you screw me
Baby you’re worst I know
And I’ll know everyone
I give ‘em hell, I give ‘em pain
They never even know my name
No one ever knows me like you know me
You say you’ll try like they all try
Pass me by alive, well check your head
No
You can’t steal away home
Fly all the way home
It’s okay
You’ll never be happy
Won’t live like you did
What is in your head?
Is no one in your head?
I will never be alone
I will never be alone
I will always think for two with pretty heads to bury you
They will never own me like you owe me
You’ll never be happy
Or live like you did
What is in your head?
I know what’s your head
Baby’s in the bag

Evelyn

I can remember Evelyn
I’ve been where she’s been
Eternally under twenty-five
We’re closer than kin
Here she comes, here she comes – not the boy that she was
Give her some medicine, put her on parade
Keep the kids in the womb
We don’t want them born
No, just keep ‘em warm
The twenty-first century came and died
I started too late
You grew up on Prince and Elton John
I grew up on hate
Here she comes, here she comes – not the boy that she was
See her eyes, still alive in that face
Keep the kids in the womb
We don’t want them born
No, just keep ‘em warm
We love our sons and the girls they are too
She could understand when she was a man
Evelyn
Baby, be a man

The Shadow Life
05:19

When the shadow lives called for me
I was not open
To the fear they make and destroy
Though I’d soon be
When my shadow life took its form
It was a movie
Every memory in replay
An endless reel
It’s the fix our parents all fell for
Ask your dad if he was on it
Ask your dad if he was there at all
I’ve been counting time since I was born
I left Mom too soon I crave the shadows
Looking back I turned to salt
And outlived you all
When the shadow lives came for me
I was not older
When you sleep alone for centuries
You don’t get older
Married to the ground you don’t grow
Like your dad you’re never honest
Like your dad you’re never there at all

Like a Sister
06:29
|
|

Kelly was alone with her new Rolling Stone, he said
You’re like a sister to me
But I can’t help loving the way you tease me now
I’ll shake until you bleed me
Will there be a day that brings her pleasure?
Don’t you want her to visit forever?
No, I’m going away just as soon as she arrives
Cause she’s coming to stay for the rest of all our lives
That dumb son is a waste of a one, she will
Eat him like a disease
Spread from New York to Boston, Kelly never lost ‘em, and y’know
She is like a sister to me
Will there be a day that brings her pleasure?
Has she lost her taste for freaks in feathers?
Oh I’m going away just as soon as she arrives
Cause she’s coming to stay for the rest of all our lives
Yeah I’m going away just as soon as she arrives
Cause she’s coming today and tomorrow never arrives
Run, run, run, run
Run, Kelly, run, run
Right through the cellar door

Shauna Grant

I wanna dig up Shauna Grant
Take her to the symphony, put her in a chorus line
Show the world how we keep it clean
I’m well aware that when she died I was only four or five
But I grew up in record time
And now I’ve got so much to hide
I’ve been waiting for your God to take me where I’m wanted
In my other life He keeps every promise with me
Did you go out like Shauna Grant?
She scared us stiff in 7th Grade, Daniel’s dad hid magazines
He wasn’t a very good dad
Thought I’d write you a letter
Then I read you were dead, but you survive in the Eighties
The years I hold in my head
I’ve been waiting for your God to take me where I’m wanted
In my other life He keeps every promise with me
They won’t get me, cause Hell is filling up fast
The only way is up
Don’t you see, the Dark is really rising
The tunnel end’s in view
