Master of the Bump (Kurt Stumbaugh, I Can Feel the Soil Falling over My Head)

If you say
s
My dancing is effeminate
s
I will never dance again
s

And if you say
s
My logic is irreversible
s
Then things will always be the same
s

Master of the bump
s
And master of the hustle
s
But I’m not, I’m not your
s
Only sweetheart
s

And if you note
s
I’m smacking of a savagery
s
Know it’s essential to my masculinity
s

And if you say
s
My dancing is effeminate
s
I will never dance again
s

Master of the bump
s
And master of the hustle
s
But I’m not your
s
Timeless one and only
s

Why would mother say such things?
s
Why add tongue to a kiss goodnight?
s
Force me to know the want
s
No one needs to know
s

Be free, laugh at your son
s
A child is nothing without hate
s
Be certain he feels
s
His love is trash
s

Be the premier to shriek out
s
“Hail bigots, hang him!”
s
Hold me, mommy
s
Face down in your filth
s

Why would you tell me
s
How many times
s
That my father
s
Made you cream?
s

Rest now
s
Be free
s
Be free, be free, be free, be free, be free
s

A child is no one without pain
s
As you pray, head down
s
That I find a sensuous love
s

Push me, mommy
s
Eyes ablaze, into hell
s

Under Pressure

Pressure
s
Pushing down on me
s
Pushing down on you
s
No man ask for
s
Under pressure
s
That burns a building down
s
Splits a family in two
s
Puts some people on the streets
s

It’s the terror of knowing what this world is about
s
Watching some good friends scream, “Let me out!”
s
Pray tomorrow takes me higher
s
Pressure on the people
s
People on the streets
s

Chippin’ around
s
Kick my brains ‘round the floor
s
These are the days
s
It never rains, but it pours
s

People on the streets
s
People on the streets
s

It’s the terror of knowing what this world is about
s
Watching some good friends scream, “Let me out!”
s
Pray tomorrow takes me high, high, high
s

Turned away from it all, like a blind man
s
Sat on a fence but it don’t work
s
Keep coming up with love
s
But it’s so slashed and torn
s
Insanity laughs under pressure
s
We’re cracking
s

Why can’t we give ourselves one more chance?
s
Why can’t we give love that one more chance?
s
Why can’t we give love, give love, give love?
s
Give love, give love, give love, give love, give love?
s

s

‘Cause love’s such an old-fashioned word
s
And love dares you to care
s
For the people on the edge of the night
s
And love dares you to change
s
Our way of caring about ourselves
s
This is our last dance
s
This is our last dance
s
This is ourselves
s

Guantanamo Canto

Confess, tied to a stretcher
s
No longer animal
s
Red, white, and blue
s
Choking on peace
s

Your suicide is politics
s
Nay, misery
s

My country needs this freedom
s
To contradict your humanness
s

Meow, meow, meow, meow
s
La, la, la
s

Now we are safe
s
Now we are safe
s
You’ll never know how you’ve made us safe
s
And your son grows to kill us all
s
We say thank you, complicity
s
Your daughter grows to kill us all
s
And we say thanks to ease our shame

No Friend Oh!

Young runaway, upstanding man
s
The spring you seek is not for them
s
To stroke his cheek and thus repair
s
The error of his creator
s

You always complain no one is good
s
Well here you are, let them see
s

Tommy and Dan
s
You can’t hold hands down your street
s
Who cares, you’re gay
s
But it’s your age
s
No friend, oh!
s

A wretched life to sit through
s

His sister cries he’ll go to hell
s
And you’re unsure if he’s legal
s
It’s more
s

Tommy and Dan
s
You can’t hold hands down your street
s
Who cares, you’re gay
s
But it’s your age
s
No friend, oh!
s

Will they “picks us apart” in Sodom?
s
They cannot love anything
s
Lou Harrison, is this what you meant
s
When you wrote Young Caesar?
s

The chance you take
s
As they deride your wicked heart
s
I’m by your side
s
You might also like
s

They don’t understand what you do
s
So what?
s
For nor do you
s

Tommy and Dan
s
You can’t hold hands down your street
s
Who cares, you’re gay
s
But it’s your age
s
No friend, oh!

F.T.W.

There is no right
s
There is no wrong
s
The way we live
s
There is only wrong
s
So radical
s
Destroyed for nothing
s
And I don’t care
s
I don’t care anymore
s

Remarkable
s
Pulsating creature
s
Into whose calves
s
The poison flows
s
When it is wondrous
s
It makes us whole
s
To force a hammer and a nail
s
Through its soul
s

Journey to the end of the night
s
Am I alright?
s
Do I look alright?
s

A car has killed you
s
And your corpse
s
Has de-discouraged us
s
To never, never, never, never
s
Look up the scorpion
s
In our chests
s
Cuts the word to scar
s
Powerlessness
s

Journey to the end of the night
s
Am I alright?
s
Do I look alright?
s
Journey to the end of the night
s
Am I alright?

In Lust You Can Hear the Axe Fall

Where does it hurt?
s
Without fuss
s
Set my finger there
s
Touch it, touch it, touch it, touch it, touch it, touch it
s

93 pounds
s
Fetish guilt
s
Grip the swan’s neck
s
And twist it, twist it, twist it, twist it, twist it
s

Who there is
s
Who is not bored by this fate?
s
Discolored at the bite of a pear
s
Cut “love me”
s
Cut “love me” into your breast
s
Crush a pastry into your breast
s

Wipe your hole clean
s
Lover’s blood
s
To have learned nothing
s
Stitch it, stitch it, stitch it, stitch it, stitch it
s

Tell me you are bad
s
Busy witch
s
Passive as a toilet
s
Eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
s

Who there is
s
Who is not bored by this flaw?
s
Discolored by the bite of an ox
s
Slit “make me”
s
Slit “make me” into your breast
s
And crush an ashtray into your breast
s

Jesse, ah ah ah…

In lust, you can hear the axe fall

I Do What I Want, When I Want

You had a dream about loss
s
Within the fruit, there are worms
s
Yet still a vow to dare, “Good night!”
s
You had a dream about love
s

Could it be you are the one
s
Who is waiting patiently for me
s
To disregard caution?
s
To feign deafness to wisdom?
s
Could it be you are the one
s
Who is waiting insanely for me
s
To bind your limbs stoutly?
s
To feign deafness to protest?
s

You ask, unhurried by doom
s
The shot only bursts forth heat
s
Bequeath a sigh, if I would listen
s
You ask, unhurried by love
s

Could it be you are the one
s
Who is waiting patiently for me
s
To stare blindly at forethought?
s
To disregard caution?
s
Could it be you are the one
s
Who is waiting insanely for me
s
To tweak your cheeks unsweetly?
s
To insist on concession?

Wig Master

You said, “I will build you a bed of cactus
s
Where you can sleep
s
When the night is too sharp”
s
I said, “I will cover you with wax
s
And light your hair like a wick
s
When the night is too cold”
s

You don’t think of me as often as I’d like you to
s
But when you do
s
It’s of me looking for you on the ship
s
The plane I am waiting on
s
Has your face printed on the wings
s
When it crashes, I will eat the paint off
s

I’m gonna spank your ass so hard
s
You will hate the wig master
s
But I’ll put two pillows on your dining room chair
s
You’re like a parrot
s
Something that belongs to me
s
And not to you
s

Loneliness isn’t being alone
s
It’s when someone loves you
s
And you don’t have it in you to love them back
s
Look at my hair
s
It’s a dirty little mop crying
s
For you to send it away
s

All a guy needs
s
Is a chance to pull off my clothes
s
And snicker, “Try harder”
s
If you mail me a toy
s
I will use it
s
But that’s the most I have to offer
s

“Do you want to see my panties?”
s
Is the last thing
s
I will ever say to you
s
“I want to finger every teenager I see,”
s
Is the last thing
s
You say to me
s

s

Don’t make fun of my night out

The Fox & the Rabbit

I like people who are wrong
s
Could you then feel like I do?
s
Colossus bestrides the haves and have-nots
s
Go softly, this is being sung for you
s

Wake up, wake up
s
The wish you made is like a god
s
Go out, get up
s
You’ve done enough, enough
s
Wake up, wake up
s
To take the time to cuss
s
Go out, get up
s
You’ve seen enough, enough
s

Do you think that you deserve it?
s

I am waiting here for you
s
Looking out across the brook
s
My hands resting on my chest
s
But still, I stare into the night
s

Wake up, wake up
s
The wish you made is plucked
s
Go out, get up
s
You’ve done enough, enough
s
Wake up, wake up
s
To take the time to cuss
s
Go out, get up
s
You’ve seen enough, enough
s

When the fox hears the rabbit cry
s
He comes running
s
When the fox hears the rabbit cry
s
He comes running
s
But not to help
s
