"Our Love Is Senile"

"Our Love Is Senile"


So now she's turning a corner
Wants to leave me again
Though it's sad, I really should want her
"You can only break up so many times
Before losing us to absurdity
Without becoming farcical," she said
How can we continue when you're telling the truth and I still don't believe you

So now she's getting tired
Wondering if it's a geek or precedence
And just how to lay her forward
When her man is a mess and never there
Though it's sad we've no populace
It's much worse to gather in silence
But it's more than just civility, we need laughter, happiness, madness, anything

Our love is senile
Like a blind child bumping into walls
Say it's not guilt keeping us together
How can we support each others' wills?
Our love is senile
Like we don't recognize each other
Somehow we relapsed to being strangers
And scaling black tiles of sacred ground

Now it's time to play the socialist
And protect my little chick from a problem and confusion
It's evasive misses no solution

"Our Riotous Defects"
(feat. Janelle Monáe)



You are such a crazy girl
And I don't know why I even tried to make you love me
I want it babe but you are just a
Crazy girl you are such a crazy girl and I don't why
I even try to help you
When I first met you at that al-anon meeting
You made that reference to "All Your Goodies Are Gone"
And even sang a verse, I was amazed how husky your singing voice was.
I wanted to talk to you so badly but I didn't know how to come on because
You've got that kind of beauty that makes people nervous
I know it's fucked, but before we got together I even hooked up with one of your cousins
Just to feel somehow closer to you
Because I knew like you guys were best friends and you talked everyday
And it was thrilling to touch something that had touched you.
In my head you were like this goddess, but, in fact, you're just a
Crazy girl
You're just a crazy girl
I don't know why I even try
To understand you (can't stand you)
Your ass is crazy girl
You are so crazy girl
And I don't know why I even try
To relate to you (can't wait for you, it's too late for you)
My god I should have realized, on our second date
When you dragged me into the bathroom at Tanika's house
And screamed at me for like twenty minutes
Cause I had contradicted you in front of your friends,
I was like "oh"
And then later that night at my apartment
As punishment you killed my beta fish
Just threw it out the window
I did everything I could to make you happy
I participated in all your protests,
Supported your stupid little blog,
Got a Bowflex, wore colored contacts to match your dresses,
Whatever your eyes caught I bought,
Still we fought
Like Ike and Tina but in reverse
Cause you're so crazy girl
You're just too crazy girl
And I don't know why I even try to understand you
Well... I think you're crazy girl, you are so crazy girl
And I don't know why I even try to make sense of you
Oh tell me why,
Someone tell me why my heart's real weird for you still
I was like crazy fan over you
Like I'm all star struck over you
Like I'm getting handcuffed over you
Now it's only fucked up
[Janelle Monáe:]
My frame works in constant confusion
I can't peel away the flowers of this psychic disturbance
And our riotous defects

"Pancakes For One"

"Pancakes For One"


Pancakes for one are always depressing
because having breakfast with you was such fun
Pancakes for one are no fun
Cocktails for one are never enchanting
because having drinks with you was such fun
Cocktails for one are no fun no fun no fun
Standing near the vendor on the platform
waiting for your train
But yet again you're not on it
and I'm crestfallen holding a drooping flower bouquet
A sundae for one is never delicious
because eating junk food with you was such fun
A sundae for one is no fun
All I've left of you is a photograph
which only upsets me
cause I can't draw your attention
your frozen in time
Pancakes for one are always depressing
because having breakfast with you was such fun
Pancakes for one are no fun

"Panda Bear"

"Panda Bear"


I'd go down on you if that would make you happy
my panda bear
my panda bear

please stop bombing my lullabies to pieces
my panda bear
my panda bear

you don't understand what the morning does to me
in the poison daylight I can hear

shadows crawling over everything

I'll go down on you if that would make you happy
my panda bear
my panda bear

you don't understand what the morning does to me
in the poison daylight I can hear
shadows crawling over everything

"Partizan Terminus"

"Partizan Terminus"


So we've been clinging to us, one hand on the edge
Shit, don't you think I know this planet is an orphanage?
Deep abandonment issues at our core
But if not each other, what the hell else do we have to really live for, my love?
I gave my second heart, my second youth to you
What do you think it will feel like if we're really through?
And you stay here, I'll find a new home
Death like Holiday City, in vacant cinemas all alone

I don't know if all the magic is gone
But we can rediscover each other, I mean, is it really so crazy to believe?
Or we could change this trip to one night
If we could just forgive each other for, you know, being each other

And then we'll...
We'll be shocked like, what happened?
Well go ahead and shock me, what happened? What happened?
How's it all happening now
Like we thought our thing was dead but
Here are all the stained glass ornaments getting all smashed overhead

"Peacock Parasols"

"Peacock Parasols"


Oh I woke up in Divarrje pledging P.P. icycles and Lamar I don't even know Heard about my love for fairy coquelicot oh oh oh oh oh oh. Oh I made crepes for P.P. sleep he's in the astronomer naming a few beds that aren't far Persuading him to sleep his dreams in jars oh oh oh oh oh. Plumy plum drops of pear shaped rain and tear drops dripping pastly from peacock parasols that obcure the mad procession. oh oh oh I modeled hoops of glass to console P.P. who buried his hands but can't remember when even if he wears his hair like then oh oh oh is that coquelicot peering through the poppies, peeping through the poppies oh oh oh coquelicot coquelicot

"Penelope"

"Penelope"


Penelope shoot the apple off my head,
I need to go to the store,
to get some sleep.
Because I've run out of sleep.
The row boat came so David stopped arguing with a mime
and waved his arms like wheat.
But when he tried to speak
the Prince of Plum fell through the roof of his mouth and handed David an envelope.
Inside was a letter
that read "sir, you were given this envelope by mistake please disregard it."

Nicolynn shoot the candle off my head,
I need to go to the store,
to get some beets.
To rub all over my feet.
Andy's joke reminded Gerard
that his sloth balloon was owned by Turkish moths.
Gerard's Lebanese boss had sent him out on business,
giving his word that he would keep it locked in the safe.

But it was all deceit,
cause once he had the sloth balloon
he traded it
to the moths for
a lithograph of "Lady Lamenting On A Lawn Chair".

What interested Balabanoba was building complicated French machines designed to better enjoy the duchess,
and she him.
He helps her in the stirrups then he straps himself in,
they spend their days in heights of ecstasy.
But wait,
why then does she look so sad?
Why is her countenance so glum?
Does she tire of mechanical hands,
or is she pining for the fair Prince of Plum?

Lulubird shoot the doorbell off my head,
I need to go to the store,
to get some treats.
For Gothe, Becket and Keates.
The characters of the "Gay Parade" formed a boys choir with Static and the Red King.
But whenever they sing all postal workers simultaneously whisper to themselves the word calendar
calendar...

"Plastis Wafers"

"Plastis Wafers"


Lover face, I'll do you as the
Revolver introduced in my play, act one
Lover face, want to make you ejaculate
Until it's no longer fun

I confess to really being quite charmed
By your feminine effects
You're the only one
With whom I would role play Oedipus Rex

I want you to be my pleasure puss
I want to know what it's like to be inside you
I want you to be my pleasure puss
I want to know how it feels
Want to give you that ou ou la la ou la la

Lover face, how your ass is pumping
Sweet licentious songs. lover face
You're a scandal, your body is so wrong, wrong

Bless my lips with your Sunlandic kisses.
While our hands explore each other's human vessels
Whoa, you know, like four excited spiders

I want you to be my pleasure puss
I want to know what it's like to be inside you
I want you to be my pleasure puss
I want to know how it feels
Want to give you that ou ou la la, ou la la.

You gave me such a rush
Make my whole body blush
I don't care if they say you're just my crutch
I know you're not
You're the only good thing I've got

Everything's so much more complicated
Over the phone

You are such a star, oh, you know you are
I just once looked through today
Had the mind to call your name, internally
Through my seventh sense that's hallucinating
Anyway we're artifacts of demigodly zero logic denizens

I just came in your arms tonight.
You and I are friends, not some polemic
To be puzzled over, listened
They set my wings so randomly
When you're dead I'll search for you like Orpheus
I'll find you, some way

You are such a star, oh, you know you are
I'll tell you one thing
I know you want my kisses in your narcissistic collapse
Because it's so painful when they amputate the taygog

See all the prison corpses lined up along beach
They're ringing the bells of the church to drive everybody insane
As the patina lives the tawdy mountain stallion on its water on the shore

I can't get off of these moving lights off the face
No, I can't get all those little moving lights off the face
So I went out to the country, sat down on some straw

But I'm not putting out for God tonight
I'm not putting out for God would kill my legs shut, shut
It's a mistake lighting little white candles to make him love you
Oh, he's cold by any city's standards

They want to turn you down
Dismissed
How 'bout if all you children and Tayshuns
No
Ha
Stop

You know The Northern Lights, they don't forget about you (they don't)
Goddamn concierge
General
Reincarnation
I think I can do it myself
Just trying to get help here

"Please Tell Me So"

"Please Tell Me So"


I wanna know how you feel
I wanna know won't you please please tell me so
tell me so, tell me so
I'll know to bring us closer
cause thats all I want to do
to bring me closer to you
to you me closer to you
bring me closer to you
I want to know how you feel
How am I to know if you don't tell me so
tell me so, tell me so
cause I sometimes get the impression
that for me you no longer care
please let me know if our romance is over
if you no longer love me, i should know
In the shower and on the bus
At the cafe in the office
I just can't get my mind off of it
You never say a word, so I have to say them for you
Please tell me if I'm just insecure
I need to know how you feel
How am I to know if you don't tell me so
tell me so, tell me so?

"Predictably Sulking Sara"

"Predictably Sulking Sara"


Predictably sulking Sara wears a scowl on her face
which no attempt at cheering can erase
Look at her face so sad
Consistently mopey Murrey worries his thong
will be replaced by the hand whose eyes are shooting mace
Look at his face so sad

Maybe it's best if two people
as sad as this never meet
but we wonder if somehow it might help
to see one so sad for oneself
to see how they look to the world so sad
Look at their faces so sad
