My dog told me once I was a transient sinner Stuck in the Mesolithic era--a tame hunter and gatherer No media; no hierarchy. News traveled by hawk. Ceres was my woman and Venus was my God She was my God In between the rivers was a city of mud Like all kingdoms before and after, it arose from blood The laws were drawn in chalk and the waters loved to flood Everything washed away amidst the muck Listen up my friend A copper sword will bend Be sound of your convictions before the end Today we are all drones, tamed by the dog Distractions keep from penetrating the fog So, pack it all on top, and drift into obscurity. My lips will be sewn shut until I see the hawk They will disagree. Those animals will be crass Take me outside in the green, green grass Tie me to a tree, then shoot me in the knee My blood is in the soil, I am finally free It seeps into the chalice, my soul is filled up As the braggart and the hawk drink full from the cup Propaganda takes its hold like a perpetual mop As the braggart and the hawk drink full from the cup. ...oh yeah, da da da

I always hop from body to body Living underneath their eyelids, I see exactly what they see. But when their vision gets blurred I pack what I’ve got and look for more More that will help me to see beyond the BehindtheEyesees. Whoa… uh oh. I’ve been everywhere, from coast to coast. Living off the hosts that have carried me from L.A. to New York City. They talk of the birds and the skies and the seas They’re never discreet, By the time they’ve realized what I’ve said, I’m long gone. Out of their heads, again. Whoa… uh oh. Your God is probably really pissed off at me. One of his beloved fallen turned into a parasite. Oh, what I’d do to get back into his loving eyes Until that day I’ll stare up at these velvet skies.

This washed up girl was a concubine Thought when she woke up in the morning things would be just fine Dreamt of sleeping in a pool of lead and mercury Saturnine in her wake clenching tightly to her tiny little rosary She was the Queen of The Faithful This washed up paradox never had any parents An orphan without guidance; walked the path of the harlot Though there were many men she was never torn by regret Wouldn’t rise to her feet without first taking penance She was the Queen of The Faithful She never slept with any bedding it would get too hot And remembering all the men left her feeling distraught But she was never despondent A dreamer—She believed that peace would come To anyone who sought it She was the Queen of The Faithful

We all live under then ocean Tiny creatures of the sea There’s no war or famine Oh, we’ve got plenty to eat But when that riptide comes And pulls at my feet I fight like hell for my life But my friends are always there to help me It never gets lonely here Here, beneath the sea We’re all friends and lovers Living in harmony But when that redtide comes And we catch fire with disease We’ll always stay right by each other’s sides Until our souls are set free Sometimes I miss the earth Sometimes I miss you and me It always felt so good to bury my toes in the sand But it makes me feel better knowing that you’re happy When those warm waters come And we head south to sleep Always remember I’m never too far When you feel lonely you can come visit me You’re welcome company

In a room of paper roses we watered the floors Sustenance sustaining stems. Their bodies, restless, bobbled in bowls as stilettos fed a poor roses nightmare. Pensive of protection, they could only scoff with upturned ovules and flashing sepals [The heels’ home was elsewhere The heels’ home was elsewhere] Predators loomed from a banister, elusively drool-dripping their bowels below.. Sighing, “We’ll build a baby oh little Daisy, oh” I said, “We’ll build a baby oh little Daisy, oh” Their bowls were picked clean. Yes, their tracks were sunken, trampling along the greenery. Red specks on the floor left traces of guilt. The scene in the tape was hardly discreet. The ravaged roses rose up and sang forth just like that Blitzkrieg Their thorn-sharpened scythes were seething and hot But the heels paced—new energy supplied a new stride— With their bellies full from the night of debauchery It was Eden, again Eden, again. “I feel like my blood could project out of every pour of my body Or something like blood… A SOUL! YES! Man, I’m glad I can feel Happy and Clear So [still feel]Happy and Clear Happy and Clear”
