Rip Up

You feel the hot moon urging you now
roll in my arms when the night pulls down
upon my mind and you're under my skin
you gonna love me or let in sorrow?
take a walk with you outside and what do I find?
the one-eyed man is the king of the blind
touch me baby in the lawless night
I'm ready to take your love
rip up my heart, rip off my head
rip up my heart, that's what I said
rip up my heart, rip off my head
mmmm feel's good
what a woman says to a hungry lover
write it on running water, write it on air
the strongest man will be brought to his knees
have mercy baby, have mercy on me
rip up my heart, rip off my head
rip up my heart, that's what I said
rip up my heart, rip off my head
mmmm feel's good

Step right up, we've got
carnival freaks with shrunken heads
siamese twins pickled in a bottle
over in the side show, fairhaired girls mingle with swans
chased by a lion you're met by a bear and you
put your hand on a snake
Where do your dreams end and you begin?
feathers and facepaint beneath the white coats
model my inventions
tell your hard luck stories while you cook my soup
in human society it's dangerous to have a head
climb every mountain, ride every river to the sea
to the sea, to the bottom of the sea
Insignificance is the common malady
can you miss your life like you miss a plane?
camera is king, news and excitement bombs your brain
the face is a mask, the soul is a shadow
Halls of delusion where the empty box nestles the
staircase to your room
a deaf mute with the message of destiny arrives on the
meat-slaving wheel
and the whole world is sophisticated
climb every mountain, ride every river to the sea
to the sea, to the bottom of the sea

The Fugitives

Poison enters, it's wealth she worships
the heart's a liar, speak less than you know
why has life been given to you?
all that you own you can lose in one night
earth above sky below
sky below
first exploited then abandoned
this was boomtown, work has gone south
insect lust, the fluttering wing
opium is the religion of the people
earth above, sky below
sky below
are you feeling lonely
are you feeling lonely, yet?
sleek and speeding, your time was passing
the men of theory enthralled with science
all the nerves of human sympathy
snap like dry twigs, I had a belly full of your love
earth above, sky below
sky below
are you feeling lonely
are you feeling lonely, yet?

ABYSSINIA
once if I remember well
life was a feast where all wines flowed
seated beauty on my knees and found her bitter
laid myself down in the mud
I dried in the air of crime
played sly tricks on madness
spring brought me an idiot’s laughter
and when you’re hungry and thirsty
there’s someone to drive you away
there is a clock that never strikes
there is a hollow with a nest of white beasts
there’s a cathedral that goes down and a lake that goes up
once if I remember well
life was a feast where all wines flowed
I seated beauty on my knees and found her bitter
and when you’re hungry and thirsty
there’s someone to drive you away

Based upon the poetry of Arthur Rimbaud
(1854-1891)

Breakfast is Ruined
03:28
|

|
Here I sit in a corpse of my youth
a suitcase of fish and no memory of the future
the quality of mercy you never strain
why did you roam, why did you wander?
then we put on our seven-league boots
and deep six the pickle in a garden of moonbeams
later repent into dust and to ashes
why did you roam, why did you wander?
the eggs of alarm they speak to me
the juice in my throat tastes bleak to me
the toast in my heart is burning
breakfast is ruined again
no bird to whistle and no bird to sing
no diamond or ruby to lay at your feet
but I'll tell the fable of your fabulous prime
why did you roam, why did you wander?
they scatter like rats when we call in the airstrikes
I row like a galley-slave to your plush beach hotel
the nude in the hallway has new information
why did you roam, why did you wander?
the eggs of alarm they speak to me
the juice in my throat tastes bleak to me
the toast in my heart is burning
breakfast is ruined again

Lunatic Moon
05:28
|

|
I die a thousand times naked and blind
the hearts a deep pit of blood and war
lightning strikes twice in one night
you set the cool head aflame with smoke
such is love under a lunatic moon
mystery in a woman’s eyes
get every lovely word just right
drink the venom manfully
indifference is a mortal sin
a woman will stir up storms in your blood
things will roll things will shake
things will rumble and quake
just like a young lover swoons
under a lunatic moon
I lost track of my companion
somewhere in the lower depths
we’re a secret to each other
cruel with outraged righteousness
corruption in high places
a king does whatever he wants
in the seat of justice, a wicked man sits
you want something but you don’t get it
you want something but you don’t get it
cut and sliced up and ready for the market place
things will roll things will shake
things will rumble and quake
just like a young lover swoons
under a lunatic moon
when I have one of them holy fits
put a burning coal upon my lips
got what I wanted and lost what I had
I'll put another notch on my gun
roll in the mud with your immaculate form
while gypsies play and sing
there's no more pity in the world
no more pity in the world
iron chains are winding tight
your guts are pilloried
analyzed and cannibalized
they strip you of any modesty
I'm on a hilltop doing a rain dance
I'm in the forest chewing on grass
the heart's a deep pit of blood and war
heart's a deep pit of blood and war
things will roll things will shake
things will rumble and quake
just like a young lover swoons
under a lunatic moon
you want something but you don’t get it
you want something but you don’t get it!
