Lust

Lust


Hey you gender nectar sifting
Through the grain of gold tripping at
Your door is that you. alpha in her blood
And when the woman lies you don't
Believe her

Rolling and unrolling
Coiling emerging
Running free
Running through the underworld
Into your room

Is he real or a ghost-lie
She feels she isn't heard
And the veil tears and rages
Till her voices are remembered
And his secrets can be told
Hey you gender nectar
Crystalline from the vine
You know you'll drink her

Rolling and unrolling
Coiling emerging running free
Running through the afterworld
Into your room so she prays
For a prankster and lust
In the marriage bed
And he waits till she can give
And he waits and he
Waits

Marianne

Marianne


Tuna
Rubber
A little blubber in my igloo
And I knew you pigtails and all
Girls when they fall
And they said Marianne killed herself
And I said not a chance
Don't you love girls ladies babes
Old bags who say she was so pretty why
Why why why did she crawl down in the old
Deep ravine

C'mon pigtails girls and all those sailors
Get your bags and hold down won't you just
Hold down cause Ed is watching my every sound
I said
They're watching my every sound

The weasal sqeuaks faster then a seven day week
I said Timmy and that purple Monkey
Are all down

At Bobby's house
Making themselves persters and lesters and jesters and my
Traitors of kind
And I'm just having thoughts of Marianne
She could outrun the fastest slug
She could
Marianne
Quickest girl in the frying pan

Martha's Foolish Ginger

Martha's Foolish Ginger


Take a walk down memory lane with me
Past a watermelon stand on the way
Thinking I had everything we'd need
On Martha's foolish ginger
You were late
How could I forget what you said-
The part about that
"Love taking over your life"
Was not your plan

If those harbor lights had just been a half a mile inland
Who knows what I would have done
If those harbor lights had just been a half a mile inland
Who knows what I would have done

Through the cliffs
Out of the bay I went
From the starboard side
I could black my visions and my passions-
They keep me awake

If those harbor lights had just been a half a mile inland
Who knows what I would have done
If those harbor lights had just been a half a mile inland
Who knows what I would have done

A familiar voice
"Hi. Surprise.
I've been searching trying to find you"
I couldn't speak
My hands reached for Martha's foolish ginger
We talked until the moon came up
About how life without love
Isn't worth very much
Then I played this song

If those harbor lights had just been a half a mile inland
Who knows what I would have done
If those harbor lights had just been a half a mile inland
Who knows what I would have done
What I would have done
What I would have done

"Memories that we have yet" you said
"To make like our Burning Bed..."
Love, don't mistake that it wasn't safe
On Martha's foolish ginger.

Mary

Mary


Everybody wants something from you
Everybody want a piece of Mary
Lush valley all dressed in green
Just ripe for the picking

God I want to get you out of here
You can ride in a pink Mustang
When I think of what we've done to you
Mary can you hear me

Growing up isn't always fun
They tore your dress and stole your ribbons
They see you cry they lick their lips
Well butterflies don't belong in nets

Mary can you hear me
Mary you're bleeding, Mary don't be afraid
We're just waking up and I hear help is on the way
Mary can you hear me
Mary, like Jimmy said, Mary don't be afraid
"cause even the wind even the wind cries your name"

Everybody wants you sweetheart
Everybody got a dream of glory
Las Vegas got a pinup girl
They got her armed as they buy and sell her
Rivers of milk running dry
Can't you hear the dolphins crying
What'll we do when our babies scream
Fill their mouths with some acid rain

Mary can you hear me
Mary you're bleeding, Mary don't be afraid
We're just waking up and I hear help is on the way
Mary can you hear me
Mary, like Jimmy said, Mary don't be afraid
"cause even the wind even the wind cries your name"

Mary Jane

Mary Jane


Then "Mom I want to forna
I mean formulate and discover the realms of the unknown
With Mary Jane
After all you'll be away for the week-end
Just please consent
I need a friend."I admit you puberty was somewhat strange
Could this be fixed with Mary Jane?

Mary Jane, Mary Jane, Mary Jane who?

So I said, son you want to permeate
And discover the realms of the unknown
With Mary Jane
After all the other boys that are you age
They only wake to medicate
Do I know her family?
Is she even mannerly when she's out in society?
"She even bakes"
She even bakes?
"These odd brownies"

Mary Jane, Mary Jane, Mary Jane who?

Then he said, I believe in her family,
On her maternal side there was a
Dr Tetrahydrocannabinol Pure Isomer Dronabinol
Mary Jane Who

Marys Of The Sea

Marys Of The Sea


Hey I am not in your way
Hey no need to push me again
I know it's your day in the sun
Last time I checked he came to light the lamp for everyone

"Relax love" he said before he left
"Take those hands away from your eyes
From where I stand you're in my sky"

You must go must flee
For they will hunt you down
You and your unborn seed
In all of Gaul is there safety?

Les Saint Marie de la Mer
You will dance the ring
Marys of the Sea
The lost bride weeps
Les Saint Marie de la Mer
We will dance your ring

Hey there's a new Jerusalem
Hey you built on rock that's on sand
For now you have hijacked the son
Last time I checked he came to light the lamp for everyone

I hear a voice and it says
"The red of the red rose is its own
And something no man can divide"
So St. Jermaine hear the prayer of this supplicant
For two scarlet women, Black Madonna
Hey I am not in your way
Hey no need to push me again
I know it's your day in the sun
I know it's your day in the sun
Hey I am not in your way
Hey no need to push me again
I know it's your day in the sun
Last time I checked he came to light the lamp for everyone

Maybe California

Maybe California


Hey Mrs. C, please don't jump why not?
Nothing is making sense anymore to me
I don't know when I stopped making him smile
Now the kids see me crying all the time

From one mother to the other
They'll never get over this for their lifetime
All their wishes will be dashed upon those cliffs
So let's be strong for you and
Me the night is opening
Our angels are falling and they will warm us
She asked right now right here
I'm feeling so (mad dear)

Maybe California
Maybe California

As mothers we have our troubles
You'll leave them with emptiness for their lifetime
All their wishes will be dashed upon those cliffs
So let's be strong you and me the night is opening
Our angels are falling and they will warm us
She asked right now right here
I'm feeling so (mad dear)

Maybe California
Maybe California

Until then there will be starlight shining down
For every tear and every child

Merman

Merman


Go to bed
The priests are dead
Now no one
Can call you bad
Go to bed
The priests are dead
Finally you're in peppermint land

He's a merman
He doesn't need your voice
He's a merman

Go to bed
Dream instead
And you will find him
He's a merman
To the knee
Doesn't need something you're not willing to give
He's a merman
Doesn't need your voice to cross his lands of ice

Go to bed
The priests are dead
Now no one
Can call you bad
Go to bed
The priests are dead
Finally you found him

Let it out
Who could ever say you're not simply wonderful
Who could ever harm you
Sleep now
You're my little goat

Go to bed
The priests are dead
And come sing it all again
Go to bed
Past the apple orchard
And you'll feel nice

Two can play
I said, two can play

Mother

Mother


Go go go go now
Out of the nest it's time
Go go go now
Circus girl without a safety net
Here here here now don't cry
You raised your hand for the assignment
Tuck those ribbons under your helmet
Be a good soldier
First my left foot then my right behind the other
Pantyhose running in the cold

Mother the car is here
Somebody leave the light on
Green limousine for the redhead dancing dancing girl
And when I dance for him
Somebody leave the light on
Just in just in case I like the dancing I can remember where I come from

I walked into your dream
And now I've forgotten how to dream my own dream
You are the clever one aren't you
Brides in veils for you
We told you all of our secrets
All but one
And don't you even try
The phone has been disconnected
Dripping with blood and with time and with your advice
Poison me against the moon

Mother the car is here
Somebody leave the light on
Black chariot for the redhead dancing dancing girl
He's gonna change my name
Maybe you'll leave the light on
Just in just in case I like the dancing I can remember where I come from

I escape into your escape into our very favorite fearscape
It's across the sky and across my heart and I cross my legs oh my God
First my left foot then my right behind the other
Breadcrumbs lost under the snow

Oo who mother
Oo mother the car is here
Maybe maybe you'll leave the light on for the for the for the dancing girl
He's gonna change my name
Maybe you'll leave the light
Just in case I like the dancing I can remember where I come come from

Mother mother mother

Mother Revolution

Mother Revolution


Lucky me
I guessed the kind of man
That you would turn out to be
Now I wish that I'd been wrong and then
I could remember to breathe
And all along the watchtower
The night horses and the black mares
Ready themselves for the outcome
For the strange times upon us

But what you didn't count on
Was another mother of
A mother revolution
But what you didn't count on
Was another mother of
A mother revolution
You could've have me
You could've have me
You could've have me
Right there beside you
You could've have me boy
You could've have me yeah
You could've have me
Right there beside you

A wife on loan in a cafe
In old El Paso
Next I go to
Seven Gates and my sister's Bass Bonanza
And all along her watchtower
The night horses and the black mares
Steady themselves for the outcome
For the strange days upon us

What you didn't count on
Was another mother of
A mother revolution
