"Queen Of Languages"

"Queen Of Languages"


Rock!

We hung from a thread just to prove poetry undead.
We rendered ourselves perfectly suitable to public consumption.

Once again, you've mistaken the minerals for cures,
Confused the catechism with your chores.
My aim is only true when I'm aiming at you!

We swung from a string just to prove poetry unreadable.
We rendered ourselves perfectly-suited to public consumption.

Once again, you've mistaken the minerals for cures,
Confused the catechism with your chores.
My aim is only true when I'm aiming at you!

A lesson to us all: Louise will not be faltering.
She craves a cul de sac to look back upon, and so do we.

If I appear oblivious, it's only 'cause I'm blessed
With the foresight to know that I knew
You had been had before you were through being had!

Go easy on me,
Queen of Languages, please!
Go easy on me,
Queen of Languages, please!
Go easy on me,
Queen of Languages, please!
Go easy on me,
Queen of Languages...
Go!

"Rereading The Marble Faun"

"Rereading The Marble Faun"


The lecture halls we filled in the Fall fell through.
The pedagogue in me asked, "What have you read lately?"
(A pleasantry the blonde in you responded to...)
You won't go into the half of it, so I'm going to nitpick.

The exegesis comes quick to whoever's less sorry now.
I've forgotten you've a right to be rotten
With the killer-instincts of an old flame who's slain you.
I just finished the book, and some of it's true.

Disgusted by the rust on a voice that you never use...
How could you expect your Jesuit sect to play here?
The fake book dates back to Iberia.
You won't go into the half of it, so I'm going to nitpick.

The exegesis comes quick to whoever's less sorry now.
I've forgotten you've a right to be rotten
With the killer-instincts of an old flame who's slain you.
I just finished the book, and some of it's true.

What will you burn for warmth?
Will you keep a husband this season?
Who could take you on?
Itinerant as the day is long...
You won't go into the half of it, so I'm going to nitpick.

The exegesis comes quick to whoever's less sorry now.
I've forgotten you've a right to be rotten
With the killer-instincts of an old flame who's slain you.
I just finished the book, and some of it's true.
I just finished the book, and some of it's true.
I just finished the book, and some of it's true

"Revolution"

"Revolution"


The one hundredth beautiful crib death
Just sold to you'll-never-guess
The twisted kid was me,
Behold the freak
Behold the freak.

A perrenial prodigal guess,
But it doesn't get any better than this.
Kill your first born.
Destroy the norm.
Revolution, revolution, revolution

"Riots"

"Riots"


Your chair is there
Your body is on the lam
Until you bring it home
I'm striking up the band
Just so you know--
There'll be riots on your hands
There'll be riots on your hands
There'll be riots on your hands

When I control the masses
The traffic and the grass
The sorceror's apprentice
Will conjure up your ass

Your chair is there
Your body is on the lam
Until you bring it home
I'm busting up the band
Just so you know--
There'll be riots on your hands
There'll be riots on your hands
There'll be riots on your hands
There'll be riots

"Rivers"

"Rivers"


See the sun crawling over the sky.
Keep an eye on the surf and the sea and the sand.
Don't you know every night is a stand-off with the fucking horizon!

You had a real time of it.
Staring off into the light.
Hands tied behind your back.
Steel chair giving you shivers.
You've always had a problem flowing down rivers...

See the rain falling down from the sky to its death,
Smashed on the street in despair, somewhere over there I swear!

You had a real time of it.
Staring up into the light.
Hands tied behind your head...go!

Stranded on the carousel.
A cripple from the wreck.
I was ringing a bell's neck, looking for a sign.

"Three stars means I'm losing you,"
says The Night to one of her romances.
The plane lands and everybody dances, it's fine...

You had a real time of it.
Staring off into the light.
Hands tied behind your head.
Steel chair giving you shivers.
You always had a problem flowing down rivers!
You've always had a problem flowing down rivers!

"Rose Fleched This"

"Rose Fleched This"


Drunk to the touch, but it wasn't enough.
I gave you the tape and you said it sucked.
Drunk to the touch, but it wasn't enough
I gave you the tape and you said it sucked, but
Drunk to the touch but it wasn't enough
I gave you the tape and it sucked.

Deeper shade of soul, well, didn't you know?
Of course you don't, you just know where to go.
Deeper shade of soul, hey, didn't you know
They all want me now?

Static means punk
Tuning is junk
Another night, another free-jazz drunk
Static means punk
Tuning is junk
Another night, another bluegrass high

"Rubies"

"Rubies"


Dueling cyclones jackknife.
They got eyes for your wife and the blood that lives in her heart.

Cast myself towards infinity.
Trust me, I had my reasons.
Had a dress for every season, it was worth it.
Pulled into town relatively free of hassle.
Secured a room at the castle, it paid for itself.
Checked out my surroundings, headed down to Thornton Park.
Find your way.
Discover that things are dark.
Shadowy figures babbling on about typical rural shit.
I wave bye to them in a modern way and increase my stay at the
dock of the bay.

Quiet, Ruby, someone's coming.
Approach with stealth.
Oh, it's just your precious American Underground
and it is born of wealth.
With not a writer in the lot.
Sapphires vie for your attention
Cheap dancers, they mean well in their way.
But Priest says - "Please, I can't stand my knees
And I can't bear her raven tresses (1)caught up in a breeze like that!"

Blessed doctor, do your worst.
Cut me open, remove this thirst.
Hidden, but near.
A series of visions, I won't repeat them here.
I won't repeat them here.

Typical me, typical me.
I gave my cargo to the sea.
I gave the water what it always wanted to be.

Look to the West!
"Ah look it's no contest," - Proud Mary said as she lit the fuse.
"I wanted you, I wanted your blues."
Your Blues.

"All good things must come to an end.
The bad ones just go on forever."
Isn't that what I just said?
It is Now and it is Never.
It is Now and it is Never.
It is Now and it is Never.
It is Now and it is Never.

Don't worry about her.
She's been known to appreciate the elegance of an empty room.
Look, I made you this broom.
A predicate warning to the sun -
"This Night advances on..."

The sketchy crowd shows me drawings, they're alright.
An alternately dim and frightful waste.
Now come on honey let's go outside.
You disrupt the world's disorder just by virtue of your grace, you know...
I didn't want to go, but leave I must...
As gratifying as this dust was.

Please don't wake me from this - my golden slumber -
I am proud to be a part of this number!

"Saddestroyer"

"Saddestroyer"


So you wanted to fuck a cop?
Well hello, hey, don't we all?
But you didn't just keep it a dream, so it seems
Unlike the rest of us.
My little heartbreaker, my heart's saltshaker
You sprinkle it like a surprise
So then when you break it,
You know I can't make it
A real good time for everyone, a good time

I heard you're guided by voices
Making mischief, they call you a sinner.
You suck on the drug like you suck on my finger,
A joint I'll surely lose to you.
I heard you're guided by voices,
I see you're really high.
But an angel that falls to the ground's not an angel
There's songs about you, you know.

Tonight it's just the three of us.
Three is the number tonight.
She, my Polish princess
Him, the hurting kind
Tonight it's just the three of us.
Three is the number tonight.
Together, together, perhaps it's forever.
With me, a real good time.
A real good time

"Savage Night At The Opera"

"Savage Night At The Opera"


A savage night at the opera.
Another savage night at the club.
Let's face it, old souls like us are being born to die!
It's not a war till someone loses an eye!

Yes, I'm familiar with your scene.
Some would say, shockingly uptight.
21-gun salute to the Fallen Birds Of The Sky.
I heard their record, it's alright...
Hey, Infinite Sense Of Value...
Hey, Infinite Sense Of Value...
Hey, Mystic Prince Of The Purlieu At Night!
I heard your record, it's alright...

You'll never guess just what I've seen...
A horse abandoned midstream...
Quatrain etched on a dirtpile...
Quatrain etched, hey that's your style!

You'll never guess just where I've been...
A life abandoned midstream...
Quatrain etched on a turnstile...
Just set the loop and then go wild-
er...

"School, And The Girls Who Go There"

"School, And The Girls Who Go There"


I am no longer who I am no longer.
It's all ad nauseam to you,
Albeit abetted by the first four amounts.
I counted them up at the fountain I founded.
For you, back at school, everything was true.

I am a tastemaker and I kill things.
I am not a tastemaker and I kill things,
Albeit acquitted on the first four counts.
The compilation released by the nation I founded for you
Back at school.
Everything was true.
Ridiculously cool.

I am no longer who I am no longer.
It's all ad nauseam to you,
Albeit abetted by the first four amounts.
They rounded us up by the walls that I never stormed for you.
Back at school, everything was true
