Oh no

A waddle back to the pool
s
A needling to
s
Gouge the way you ride away
s
From how you is
s

2 or 3, 4 or 6, 8 or 9, 10 or 12
s
Unloved is not a poor way to rebel
s

Oh no
s
Oh no, oh no, oh no
s
Oh no
s
Oh no, oh no, oh no
s

Jiggle jiggle back off a mule
s
A horsing to
s
Fast and loose is one thing
s
It is everything
s

10 or 12, 9 or 8, 6 or 5, 2 or 3
s
Despised is not a poor way for to be
s

Mein Bikini liegt auf Tannennadeln
s
Ich bin aufgewacht und hab mich über einen Spalt gehockt
s
Ich hab gedrückt und gedrückt
s
Bis endlich ‘ne Papierolle mit Namen rauskam und da standen
s
Alle drauf, die an meiner Qual ihre Freude hattеn
s
Die Rolle hab ich an ’nem bеwachsenen Felsen abgewischt
s
Und in das andere Loch gestopft, da wo’s hingehört
s
Es hat überhaupt nicht wehgetan und wird niemals wehtun
s
Thanks a million, hey you! Thanks a billion!
s

Oh no
s
Oh no, oh no, oh no
s

Goodbye for Good

For certain the world doesn’t need you
s
Plants find you disgusting
s
Their benevolent keeper
s
They would grow from your cracking jaw
s
If they could get there
s
You think they are beautiful
s
They are waiting for you to suffocate
s

Goodbye for good
s
Goodbye for good
s

A sandwich bag of barbiturates
s
In an empty yogurt container
s
Hidden beneath a little stack of bricks
s
Beside the basement water heater
s

Octopus, Porcupine
s
Ortolan, Platypus
s
Opposum, Pelican
s
Wish for nothing more than that you and you and you
s
And you and you and you and you and you
s
Were gone
s

Goodbyе for good
s

The world doesn’t need you
s
It could’ve been anything
s
Without your curious fingers
s
Caressing the meadow
s
Patting the chaos
s

Bergamot, Marigold, Daffodil
s
Hyacinth, Dahlia, Woodland Phlox
s
Azalea, Barrenwort, goodbye for good
s

The Grifters

To’ve writ the words, I promise you
s
Then as a slur, I promise you
s
To hold the gift of thoughtfulness
s
To excuse the act of crushing it
s

As you know I’ve been called a liar
s
And so I know what I, a lying person, does
s

To whisper self-servingly o’ thy tears
s
Then to demoralize the one who took a chance on you
s
To invite my heart to be sewn
s
Then to boo
s
At it as a gag
s

As you know I’ve been called a liar
s
And so I know what a lying person does
s
But I’m also a friend, unlike you
s
And know what a friend will do too
s

Too much has deflowered as more than enough
s
To seize off of me
s
The slip of self love
s

As you know I’ve been called a liar
s
And so I know what a lying person does
s
But I’m also a friend, unlike you
s
And know what a friend will do too

I Cannot Resist

There you were, then there you weren’t
s
Unable to be unsure
s
Then unable to be
s

And I cannot resist
s

Staring into your face
s
Thinking “God, what have I done?”
s
And the litany of unacceptable kisses
s

And I cannot resist
s

The fruits of passion
s
Such a hassle to clean up
s
Two idiots, unbored with love
s

And I cannot resist
s

You’d prefer you had
s
A routine
s
Line of mouth but not me
s
You’d rather you had
s
Everyday
s
Nostril shapes but not me
s

Bong bing bonk-o bung
s
A head rolling down the stairs
s
Bing bong bonk-o bung
s

And here is hoping the booze gives you a wild sleep
s
And that your mysteriousness-ess
s
Remain
s
More hot than sad
s

I cannot resist
s
I cannot resist
s
I cannot resist
s

Sad Mezcalita

No no no no, no no no no no no no, no no no no
s
Oh no no no, no no no no no no no, no no no no
s

What were you doing there?
s
So un-anxious to be liked
s
Maybe because you were tired
s
And the world was in your way
s
I had walked them home
s
My only friend, my only love
s
There were none like them
s
None, none and none
s

Rough dreams
s
More than enough dreams
s
Rough dreams
s
Rough dreams
s
N’er to rest, n’er to be
s
In all, or all or at all
s
N’er to cease, n’er to brеathe
s
Roughened drеams
s
Prelude to defeat
s

I have only ever been special to you
s
You were so much more than only special to me
s

No no no no, no no no no no no no, no no no no
s

It’s not having something evil endure
s
As it is never having something good
s
The only years that meant a thing
s
Bewildered every and all days
s
The flip of two ugly, useless, purposeless cards
s
Guide me to walk o’er the dune
s
To dig up your Rumpus Room
s

Say You Won’t Let Go
s
James Arthur
s

Rough dreams
s
More than enough dreams
s
Rough dreams
s
Rough dreams
s
N’er to rest, n’er to be
s
In all, or all or at all
s
N’er to cease, n’er to breathe
s
Roughened dreams
s
Prelude to defeat
s

Without any questions
s
You were to end at a horrible end
s
Without, withouts
s
Nor a cloud in the sky
s
