Forget

Hack off for you, you felt for you
d
What name for thee other than thee?
d
Reduced to bone, reduced to dust
d
Cross out the dawn, could not enough
d
Un-beautiful, pale of the sun
d
Undignified, but it goes on
d

Forget!
d

Oh, forget who you are
d
Don’t admit who you are
d
Oh, forget who you are
d
Don’t admit who you are
d
Oh, to take and to touch
d
And for once feel good
d
Oh, to take and to touch
d
And for once feel good
d

Was it wrong? but said and done
d
With great relief, rip out the dawn
d
To drink the drink hung from a chord
d
Un-beautiful, hung from a chord
d

(Planet rock) Forget!
d
(Planet blush) Forget!
d
(Planet pure filth) Forget!
d
(Planet gigolette) Forget!
d
(Planet rock) Forget!
d
(Planet blush) Forget!
d
(Planet David Horvitz) Forget!
d

You are to be named The Cigar
d
You are to be called Candy Barr
d
You are to be named Hanky John
d
Undignified, as it goes on

Get Up

A piano fell on my face
d
You told me to get up
d
When I could not control myself
d
You said to get up
d
Consciousness demolished
d
When I tried to hold the pain inside
d
You say to hold it in
d

Love me forever
d
Don’t forget me
d
It’s late in the game to ask
d
But I’m still asking
d

A harmonica fell on my face
d
It did not hurt that much
d
If you leave no one will find my corpse
d
You said
d
Rise from the dead!
d
Sometimes a person cannot help what they do
d
You mumble to get up
d
Operating now without belief
d
You say sh sh sh
d
And to get up
d

Do you hate me
d
Because I seem so stupid?
d
Or do you just very quickly
d
Hate me right back?
d

During the rape of everything decent
d
The flickering flames impressed me
d
A saxophone fell on my face
d
How is a mystery
d
When I am shocked
d
By my own foolishness
d
You say you are not as shocked
d
When I repeat that I am shocked by my own foolishness
d
You get up and leave the room
d

Love me forever
d
Don’t forget me
d
It’s late in the game to ask
d
But I’m still asking you
d

You’re the only reason I was born
d
You’re the only reason I was born

Wondering

Tonite is anything
d
Goodbye to anything
d
Outside of anything
d
Collide with everything
d

Ring a dong ding ding
d
Down on your knees
d
Ring a ding ding ding
d
Swallow defeat
d
Ring-a ding-a ding
d
Ding ding dong ding
d

Wondering, maybe?
d
Wondering, maybe?
d
Wondering, maybe?
d
Wondering
d
Wondering
d

There’s not a chance, there’s never been
d
Destroyed by color on the wind
d
It is so clear it is so clean
d
And unforgivably obscene
d

Alive is anything
d
Alight to anything
d
Denied of anything
d
Surprised with everything
d

Oh, love was stronger then
d
Life went on without an end
d
Now to feel the sun
d
Burn our rights and wrongs
d
The shock of ash upon hope and peace
d

There’s not a dance that’s never been
d
Jealous of envy on the wind
d
It is plain, it is so pure
d
And unforgivably obscure
d

Wondering, maybe?
d
Wondering, maybe?

Wondering, maybe?

You’re so confused when you’re cute

Noted lips adoring the bigger one

Whimpering compliments coming through the keyhole

A belt of hickeys!

A bandolier of hickeys!

A holster of hickeys!

A rosary of hickeys!

A stigmata of hickeys!

A crown of thorns of hickeys!

Bitter Melon

A hammer of purple shit
s
Bashes down on your fantasy
s
Fantasy piled upon the fantasy
s
That maybe now you are free
s

Little boy, can I ever love you enough?
s
Little boy, can I face you truly enough?
s
Can I ever pat your head gently enough?
s
Can I ever smile at you honestly enough?
s
Can I keep dread far from your heart enough?
s

No, I cannot
s

When I am near you
s
Everything, everything, everything
s
Is worth its cost
s
Your dad told me he has no feelings
s
Now I understand

Little boy, can I ever love you enough?

Little boy, can I face you truly enough?

Can I ever pat your head gently enough?

Can I ever smile at you honestly enough?

Can I keep dread far from your heart enough?

The Silver Platter

Something has to be true
d
Besides what is true
d
Enraged at one’s own helplessness
d
Helplessness that is one’s own fault
d
God made us
d
And now he wants us to die
d
I cannot care
d

What do you think?
d
What do you do?
d

Kneel before you, just for a moment
d

A child’s love is useless
d
What is there left to withstand?
d
Margarine spooned into illness
d
Alone at both sunset and dawn
d
To persist in inhuman fury
d
It could have been wonderful
d
It tastes like a cookie
d
It tastes like a cookie
d

What do you think?
d
What do you do?

New Life Immigration

It’s turning from day to dark
d
Armageddon
d
What made you think life was special?
d
When I look at you I see
d
There is one life that is special
d

We don’t need to live to love
d
We don’t need to live to love
d
Everyone has failed us and we have failed everyone
d
We don’t need to live to love
d

Soon this will all be gone
d
To spare us kisses in the flood
d
A piece of paper in my hand
d
A vow of double suicide
d
The end of the world is avoidable
d

We don’t need to live to love
d
We don’t need to live to love
d
Everyone has failed us and we have failed everyone
d
We don’t need to live to love
d

Our fire escape is five floors above the street
d
We can sit and watch Los Angeles burning
d
Hold hands, turn around, lean over backwards
d
This is the quiet we promised each other
d
This is the love we’ve always dreamt of

Stupid in the Dark

The police showed me a photo
d
You look so unlikable
d
I said I’m not sure it is you
d
But I wish I said it was you
d

You taught me a lesson
d
People are stupid in the dark
d
People are useless in the moonlight
d
People are meant to be loved
d
Loved without thought
d
Loved without thought, oh
d
In the moonlight
d

Pull out the gun
d
Give me your money
d
Give me your phone
d
You can keep your ID
d
The detectives encourage
d
As I punch you in the tummy
d
Once we felt sorry for you people
d
But not that sorry
d

You taught me a lesson
d
People are stupid in the dark
d
People are useless in the moonlight
d
People are meant to be loved
d
Loved without thought
d
Loved without thought, oh
d
In the moonlight
