when I come to terms
to terms with this
when I come to terms
with this
when I come to terms
to terms with this
my world will change
for me
I haven’t moved since
the call came
since the call came
I haven’t moved
I stare at the wall
knowing on the other side
the storm that waits for me
then the Seated Woman
with a Parasol
may be the only one
you can’t Betray
if I’m the Seated Woman
with a Parasol
I will be safe
in my frame
I have no need
for a sea view
for a sea view
I have no need
I have my little
pleasures
this wall being one of these
when I come to terms
to terms with this
when I come to terms
with this
when I come to terms
with this whip lash
of Silk on wool embroidery
then the Seated Woman
with a Parasol
may be the only one
you can’t betray
if I’m the Seated Woman
with a Parasol
I will be safe
in my frame
I will be safe
in my frame
in your House
in your frame
with a strut into the room
with his hat cocked sure defiantly
he said “I. I have heard.
that you can play
the way I like it to
be played.”
I said, “I can play.
anyway that you want.
But first I want. I want
to know
Baby is it Sweet Sweet
Sweet the Sting
is it real this infusion -
can it heal
where others before have failed?
If so then somebody
Shake Shake Shake
me sane
‘cause I am inching
ever closer to the tip
of this scorpion’s tail”
He said “I laid my weapons
down with my pistol
fully loaded, a hunted man
to my root, will it end
or begin in your
cinnabar juice?”
is it Sweet Sweet
Sweet your Sting
is it real your infusion
can it heal
where others before have failed?
If so then somebody
Shake Shake Shake
me sane
‘cause I am inching
ever closer to the tip
of this scorpion’s tail
Love let me breathe
breathe you in
melt the confusion
until there is
there is you - union
The power of orange knickers
The power of orange knickers
The power of orange knickers
under my petty coat
the power of listening to what
you don’t want me to know
Can somebody tell me now who is this terrorist
those girls that smile kindly then rip your life to pieces?
Can somebody tell me now am I alone with this –
this little pill in my hand and with this secret kiss
am I alone in this…
A matter of complication
when you become a twist
for their latest drink
as they’re transitioning
Can somebody tell me now who is this terrorist
this little pill in my hand that keeps the pain laughin’?
Can somebody tell me now a way out of this –
that sacred pipe of red stone could blow me out of this kiss
am I alone in this…
Shame shame time to leave me now
Shame shame you’ve had your fun
Shame shame for letting me think that I would be the one
Can somebody tell me now who is this terrorist
this little pill in my hand or this secret kiss
am I alone in this kiss
am I alone in this kiss
Can you patch my jeans Peggy Ann –
just a little stitch to mend the hole
he has torn
if you can
maybe I got too set in my ways
he says she reminds him of me
when we first met
in those early days…
the sexiest thing is trust
I wake up to find
the pirates have come
tying up along your coast
how was I to know
the pirates have come
between Rebecca’s
beneath your firmaments
I have worshipped
in the Jamaica Inn
in the Jamaica Inn
with the gales
my little boat was tossed
how was I to know
that you’d sent her
with a lantern
to bring me in
“Are you positive this is a friend?”
the captain grimaced,
“Those are cliffs of rock ahead
if I’m not mistaken.”

Airplanes
take you away again
Are you flying
above where we live
Then I look up
a glare in my eyes
Are you having regrets about last night
I’m not but
I like rivers that
rush in
so then I dove in
Is there trouble ahead
for you the acrobat
I won’t push you
unless you have a net
You say the word
you know I will find you
Or if you need some time
I don’t mind
I don’t hold on
to the tail of your kite
I’m not like the girls that you’ve known
But I believe I’m worth coming home to
Kiss away night
This girl only sleeps with Butterflies
with Butterflies
so go on and fly then
boy
Balloons
look good from on the ground
I fear with pins and needles around
We may fall then stumble
upon a carousel
It could take us anywhere
I’m not like the girls that you’ve known
But I believe I’m worth coming home to
Kiss away night
This girl only sleeps with Butterflies
with Butterflies
with Butterflies
so go on and fly boy
General Joy
I know I know
you’ll take me there –
where your boys were
left behind
General Joy
it seems you need
a soldier girl –
now “they” have Liberty gagged
by boat
by tram
by motorbus
could it be the fates
are protecting us
from the Hawks that
have stolen the bird
from the sky
and I know
you will always love Sorrow
is that why
you gave her dress
to Happiness?
‘cause it matches her eyes
when she cries
General Joy
it seems
you don’t love your Bride
generally
you’re friends but
she is not the love of your life
to dye
to perm
to change your hair
or your wife
the possibilities
are there
and its time
for you to decide
General Joy
I know I know
you’ll take me there –
but you’ll need strength
from within
General Joy
it seems you need
a soldier girl –
and a willing coalition
by boat
by tram
by motorbus
could it be the Hawks
are protecting us
from the Men who
have now assumed
their name
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 had me
you could’ve had me
you could’ve had me
Right there beside you
you could’ve had me boy
you could’ve had me yeah
you could’ve had me
Right there beside you
A wife on loan
in a café
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
she’s a girl
rising from a shell
running to spring
It is her time
it is her time
Watch her run
with Ribbons undone
she’s a rose
in a Lily’s cloak
she can hide her charms
It is her right
there will be time
to chase the sun
with Ribbons undone
she runs like a fire does
just picking up daises
Comes in for a landing
a pure flash of lightening
Past alice blue blossoms
you follow her laughter
And then she’ll surprise you
arms filled with lavender
Yes my little pony
is growing up fast
She corrects me and says
“you mean a thoroughbred”
A look in her eye says the Battle’s beginning
From school she comes home
and cries
I don’t want to grow up Mom
at least not tonight
you’re a girl
Rising from a shell
Running through Spring
If I choke Boy you
start me up again
Restring my wires y’know
this gearbox can make the shift polish my rims
Damned if you do
Damned if you don’t
I swear it seems of late boy
I’ve even curved this body to fit your bow
still the rain can’t confuse the thoughts that come
come in rhythm
‘cause it never was the Cars and Guitars that came between us
still a thought says
what if I
keep on Drivin’
keep on Drivin’
“Yeah that whip has skirt”
you said it proud
Sometimes I’d watch her idle while you’d tune her up
me with my silencer on
You and your crocodile clip
Me and my alligator pears yeah
all tricked out for the trip
that slid into a spin
You say that “I miss you”
You stop in at my drive-thru
you know you’ll order some some boy
You say that “I miss you”
You stop in at my drive-thru
you know you’ll order some some boy
‘cause it never was the Cars and Guitars that came between us
still a thought says
what if I
keep on Drivin’
keep on Drivin’
keep on Drivin’
If I choke Boy
You start me up again
Restring my wires y’know
this gearbox can make the shift polish my rims
Thought I had a witness
To this crime
Thought I had a witness
Thought we were on the same side
of Becoming
Then the judges
called in a witness
C’mon
So then when
Did you then
Begin your
Craving for
White powder
Exotic
Matter that
Cells divide
Arresting time
So in your
Furnace then
You drank my
Tenderness
Feldspar and
Mica then
You thought that
You would own
My temple
of gold
Gotta rise
In the night
Pick myself off the floor
I know now
That it’s over
Had a life
Before
You left me burnin’ in
Your petrol emotion
Your petrol emotion
Wanting more
Thought I had a witness
C’mon…
Thought we had a friendship
C’mon…
Thought I heard you
Whispering murder
Thought this witches
Brew was more than
Bullet-proof
But words are like guns
When you shoot the moon
‘Cause everybody whispers
C’mon…
Is there anyone?
Is it any wonder
I’m out the door
Is there any way?
Is there any way forward?
Thought I had a witness
Thought you were you
Thought I was a witness
You could turn to
Not in
Thought I had a witness
To this crime
Thought I had a witness
C’mon
There was a garden
in the beginning
Before the fall
Before Genesis
There was a tree there
A tree of knowledge
Sophia would insist
You must eat of this
Original Sin?
No I don’t think so.
Original Sinsuality
Original Sin?
No it should be
Original Sinsuality
Original Sin?
No I don’t think so.
Original Sinsuality
Yaldaboath
Saklas
I’m calling you
Samael
You are not alone
I say
You are not alone
In your Darkness
You are not alone
Baby
You are not alone
Drivin’ in my Saab
on my way to Ireland
it’s been a long time
it’s been a long time
Drivin’ with my friends
on my way to Ireland
it’s been a long time
it’s been a long time
So when I was out
in the desert
And a cowboy
tried to lasso me
He said your red
and made of clay
a virgin portrait
I let him wake me
but decided not to stay
Next in New York
I fell out with a dragon
Of the white collar kind
but just as ferocious
I remembered Macha
running faster than the horses
Then an encounter with
a voice that caressed me
Wasn’t it you who
held off a surrender
To one spoiled nun
who taught you the names
of the mountains
on the moon
and then a Jesuit
proceeded to arrange your soul
while I prayed
on my knees
Flaxen hair blowing in the breeze
It is time for the geese to head south
I have come with my mustard seed
I cannot accept that she will be taken from me
“Do you know who I am” she said
“I’m the one who taps you on the shoulder when it’s your time
Don’t be afraid
I promise that she will awake
Tomorrow
Somewhere
Tomorrow
Somewhere”
- wrap yourself around
the Tree of Life
and the Dance of the Infinity
of the Hive -
take this message to Michael
I will comb myself into chains
In between the tap dance clan
and your ballerina gang
I have come for the Beekeeper
I know you want my
You want my Queen -
Anything but this
Can you use me instead?
In your gown with your breathing mask
Plugged into a heart machine
As if you ever needed one
I must see the Beekeeper
I must see if she’ll keep her alive
Call Engine 49
I have come with my mustard seed
Maybe I’m passing you by
Just passing you by girl
I’m passing you by
On my way
On my way
I’m just passing you by
But don’t be confused
One day I’ll be coming for you…
I must see the Beekeeper
I must see the Beekeeper
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 in your plan
If those harbour lights had just been a 1/2 a mile inland
who knows what I would have done
If those harbour lights had just been a 1/2 a mile inland
who knows what we would have done
Through the cliffs
out of the Bay I went
From the starboard side
I could block my visions and my passions-
They keep me awake
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
“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.
Hoochie Woman
Hoochie Woman
Hoochie Woman
Hoochie Woman
I wasn’t thinking
My head was in the book
His hands were on her everywhere
I saw his face
I dropped my coffee
He’s cheating on me with a
Hoochie Woman
Ooo hoo hoo you can
Keep your Hoochie
Ooo hoo hoo you can
Keep the house
Ooo hoo hoo
and the bank accounts
‘cause boy I bring home the Bacon
I said boys I bring home the Bacon now
I went to work
and the office girls
were all burning
their poetry
It wasn’t good
but in the Neighborhood
now they’re all just a
Hoochie Woman
He called me up
and said “she has needs”
I said “you’ll find ‘em
on Barney’s fourth floor”
He said “I need a loan”
(I said) “that’s not a problem
you better keep this from your
Hoochie Woman”
I don’t
I don’t know why
In your Boys life you become like a bull
like a bull in a china shop
Smash it up into smithereens
There you
There you go again
Breaking
Breaking porcelain
Is that all I am
just a Doll you got used to
We’ve done
We’ve done this before
as Mars sauntered through his door
Don’t say it’s time to say
Goodbye to Pisces
Goodbye to Pisces
I cried and
I washed my tears
that turned into diamond
Ice
into ice
and if it could freeze
My heart wouldn’t float away
There we
There we go again…
So how
how will I go
Back on
Back on the shelf
with a smile
with a smile
to the customer and say
on sale by the owner
Here I
Here I go again
Breaking
Breaking porcelain
Is that all I am
just a Doll you got used to
We’ve done
We’ve done this before
as Mars sauntered through his door
Don’t say it’s time to say
Goodbye to Pisces
Goodbye to Pisces
Goodbye my Pisces
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 it’s own
and something no man can divide”
so St. Germain 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
I thought it was Easter time
the way the light rose
rose that morning
Lately you’ve been on my mind
You showed me the rope
ropes to climb
over mountains
and to pull myself
out of a landslide
of a landslide
I thought it was harvest time
You always loved the smell of the wood burning
She with her honey hair
Dalhousie Castle
she would meet you there
In the winter
Butter yellow
The flames you stirred
Yes, you could stir
I raise a glass
Make a toast
A toast in your honor
I hear you laugh
and beg me not to dance
‘cause on your right standing by
is Mr. Bojangles
With a toast he’s telling me it’s time
to raise a glass
Make a toast
A toast in your honor
I hear you laugh
and beg me not to dance
‘cause on your right standing by is
Mr. Bojangles
With a toast he’s telling me it’s time
To let you go
Let you go
I thought I’d see you again
You said you might do
Maybe in a carving
In a cathedral
Somewhere in Barcelona
.Go back to the Garden.
