To Sheila

Twilight fades
through blistered avalon
the sky's cruel torch
on aching autobahn
into the uncertain divine
we scream into the last divide
you make me real
you make me real
strong as I feel
you make me real
sheila rides
on crashing nightingale
intake eyes
leave passing vapor trails
with blushing brilliance alive
because it's time to arrive
you make me real
you make me real
strong as I feel
you make me real
lately I just can't seem to believe
dicard my firends to change the scenery
it meant the world to hold a bruising faith
but now it's just a matter of grace
a summer storm
graces all of me
highway warm
sing silent poetry
I could bring you
the light
and take you home into the night
you make me real
lately I just can't seem to believe
(you make me real)
discard my friends to change the scenery
it meant the world to hold a bruising faith
but now it's just a matter of grace



Ava Adore

It's you that I adore
you will always be my whore
you'll be a mother to my child
and a child to my heart
we must never be apart
we must never be apart
lovely girl you're the beauty in my world
without you there aren't reasons left to find
and I'll pull your crooked teeth
you'll be perfect just like me
you'll be a lover in my bed
and a gun to my head
we must never be apart
we must never be apart
loverly girl you're the murder in my world
dressing coffins for the souls I've left to die
drinking mercury
to the mystery of all that you should ever leave behind
in time
in you I see dirty
in you I count stars
in you I feel so pretty
in you I taste god
in you I feel so hungry
in you I crash cars
we must never be apart
drinking mercury
to the mystery of all that you should ever leave behind
lovely girl
you're the murder in my world
dressing coffins for the souls I've left behind
in time
we must never be apart
and you'll always be my whore
cause you're the one that I adore
and I'll pull your crooked teeth
you'll be perfect just like me
in you I feel so dirty
in you I crash cars
in you I feel so pretty
in you I taste god
we must never be apart



Perfect

I know we're just like old friends
we just can't pretend
that lovers make amends
we are reasons so unreal
we can't help but feel
that something has been lost
but please
you know you're just like me
next time
I promise we'll be perfect
perfect
perfect
strangers down the line
lovers out of time
memories unwind
so far I still know who you are
but now I wonder who I was
angel
you know it's not the end
we'll always be good friends
but the letters have been sent out
so please
you always were so free
you'll see
I promise we'll be perfect
perfect
perfect
strangers on the street
lovers while we sleep
you know this has to be
we always we're so free
we promised that we'd be
perfect



Daphne Descends



with the sugar sickness
you spy the kidnap kid
who kids you to oblivion
it's the perfect hassle
for the perfumed kiss he
makes you miss him more
than home you love him
you love him more than this
you love him
and you can't resist
you love him
you love him for yourself
you love him
and no one, no one else
past sidewald ashes
a last lovers arc
you come apart to intertwine
it was all so simple
as you watched him move
across the darkness in your room
you love him
uou love him for yourself
you love him and no one, no one else
and to the winding vines the pretty boys dive
and thru the pinhole stars into the shadow mind
will you lose him then on some gentle dawn
this boy is here and gone
you love him
you love him for yourself
you love him and no one, no one else
you love him
you love him more that this
you love him and you cannot you can't resist
you love him



Once Upon A Time

Mother I'm tired
come surrender my son
time has ravaged on my soul
no plans to leave but still I go
Fallin' with the leaves
fallin' out of sleep
to the last goodbyes
who cares why?
Mother I've tried
wasting my life
I haven't given up, I lie
to make you so proud in my eyes
Fallin' out of sleep
crawlin' over me
to the last goodbyes
who cares why?
Tuesdays come and gone
restless still I drive
try to leave it all behind
fallin', fallin' out of sleep
fallin',fallin' with the leaves
I go crawlin', crawlin' over me
Once upon a time in my life...
I went falling
Mother I hope you know
that I miss you so
time has ravaged on my soul
to wipe a mothers tears grown cold



Tear

the lights came on fast
lost in motorcrash
gome in a flash unreal
but you knew all along
you laugh the light I sing the songs
to watch you numb
I saw you there
you were on your way
You held the rain
and for the first time heaven seem insane
cause heaven is to blame
for taking you away
do you know the way that I can?
do you know the way that I can't lose?
do you know the things that I can?
do you know the things that I can't do?
where is you heart?
where is your heart gone to?
tear me apart
tear me apart from you
you laugh the light I cry the wound in grey afternoons
I saw you there
you were on your way
you kissed me cold
and for the first time heaven seemed insane
cause heaven is to blame
for taking you away
the lights came to pass
dead opera motorcrash
gome in a flash unreal
in nitrous overcast
do you know the way that I can?
do you know the way that I can't choose?
do you know the things that I can?
do you know the things that I can't lose?
tear me apart
tear me apart form you
where is your heart?
where has your heart run to?



Crestfallen

who am I to need you when I'm down
and where are you
when I need you around
your life is not your own
and all I ask you
is for another chance
another way around you
to live by circumstance
once again
Who am I to need you now
to aky you why
to tell you no
to deserve your love
and sympathy
you were never meant
To belong to me
and you may go
but I know you won't leave
to many years
built into memories
your life is not your own
who am I to need you now
to ask you why
to tell you no
to deserve your love
and sympathy
you were never meant to belong to me
you were never meant ot belong to me
you were never meant to belong to me
who am I



Appels +Oranjes

what if the sun refused to shine?
what if the clouds refused to rain?
what if the wind refused to blow?
what if the seas refused to wave?
what if the world refused its turn?
what if the stars would hesitate?
what if what is isn't true?
what are you going to do?
what if what is isn't you?
does that mean you've got to lose?
digging for the feel of something new
what if the silence let you dream?
what if the air could let you breathe?
what if the words would bring you here?
what if this sound would bring you peace?
what if what is isn't true?
what are you gonna do?
digging for the feel of something new
what if what is isn't you?
what are you gonna do?
it came from your thoughts
your dreams and visions
ripped up from your weeks and indecisions
what if the sun refused to shine?
what if the clouds refused to rain?
what if the world refused to turn?
what if the clocks would hesitate?
what if what is isn't true?
what are you gonna do?
what if what is isn't you?
does that mean you've got to lose?
digging for the feel of something new
does that mean you've got to lose?
the thoughts you cannot use
what are you gonna do?



Pug

kiss and kill me sweetly
come and drive me home
drag the miles in me
I am yours alone
inside where it's warm
wrap myself in you
outside where I'm torn
fight myself in two
in two
into you
desire me so deeply
drain and kick me hard
whisper secrets for me
try to go too far
inside where it's warm
outside where I'm torn
fight myself in two
in two
into...
please don't change
please don't change at all
bring your rain
bring your rain to fall
inside where it's warm
wrap myself in you
outside where I'm torn
fight myself in two
in two
into you
come and kiss me sweetly
ride the telephone
drag the miles to me
I am yours alone
Yours alone
on the telephone
yours alone
looking for a kiss kiss
yours alone



The Tale Of Dusty and Pistol Pete

Dusty screams
through doors and imaginary floors
"why can't you miss me?"
pistol pete
removes the final breaths from her unkind
and she is shaken
what does this mean
in love or peace?
with you lying next to me
so faithless serene
and she calls to him
let the waste
cross the ancient trails
to you
far out beneath the sorrow clouds
let them taste
the bitter lost mistake
of you
let them cry out through your rusted scars
alone he roams
inside the ordinary catacombs
of her waiting
with raven hand she steals and staggers towards her man
still still scorned by his demon
because he's undone
become the language of
disaster and love
vengeance and dust
and she calls to him
let the waste
cross the ancient trails
to you
far out beneath the sorrow clouds
let them taste the bitter lost mistake
of you
let them cry out through your rusted scars
dusty screams
through doors and imaginary scenes of hurt
and teardrop as her inside him
and she calls to him
let the waste to you
far out beneath the sorrow clouds
let them taste
the bitter lost mistake
of you
let them cry out through your rusted scars

Annie-Dog

amphetamine
annie-dog
has her leash
and a face
her velvet spleen
her shackle spine
her diamond curse
it comes with mine
a vessle she for violent I
confession arms awake
mine, mine you were always mine
possessed by my taste
and below
the angel dog
combs her hair and sings her psalms
the bombs go off
she doesn't notice
it all goes wrong
she sets things tragic
she is venus
she is mars
she's electric
and the struggle of
upon her face
we leave no trace
but in her stomach mercury aged
she holds the blood
she carves the knives
she digs the wires in our babies
amphetamine
annie-dog
pulls her trach
and her stories
from place to place
and bed to bed
gives herself
and the magnet head
another floor
another ceiling
counting stars
with double meanings
is it wrong to be swallowed whole
to disappear in her
to give to her the priceless peace
of giving up control
we tumble out
into the streets
and annie-dog
she drags her leash
pretty face
ugly mouth
bitter bred and so released
and by the no
and in the yes
annie goes
if you could't guess
a simple man
a sycophant
her elephant
with the laughing cough
she wants clean sheets
and fresh flowers
her dental shots
and the hong kong glue
amphetamine
annie-dog
has her leash and a face




Shame

you're gonna walk on home
you're gonna walk alone
you're gonna see this through
don't let them get to you
shame
love is good and love is kind
love is drunk and love is blind
love is good and love is mine
love is drunk all the time
shame
you're gonna walk on home
your gonna walk alone
you're gonna walk so far
you're gonna wonder who you are
shame
love is good and love is kind
love is good and love is blind
love is good and love is mine
love is good all the time
hello goodbye
you know you made us cry



Behold! The Nightmare

I've faced the fathoms in your deep
withstood the suitors quiet siege
pulled down the heavens just to please you
appease you
the wind blows
and I know I can't go on
digging roses from your grave
to linger on
beyond the beyond
where the willows weep
and the whirlpools sleep
you'll find me
the coarse tide
reflects sky
and the nightmare rides on
and the nightmare rides on
with a december black psalm
and the might mare rides on
what I fear is lost here
the wind blows and I know
all you have to do is run away and steal yourself from me
become a mystery
to gaze into
you're so cruel
in all you do
but still I believe, I believe you
so may you come with your own knives
you'll never take me alive
with all the force of what is true
is there nothing I can do?
I can't go on
digging roses from your grave
to linger on
beyond the beyond
where the willows weep
and the whirlpools sleep
you'll find me
and the night mare rides on
and theh night mare rides on
with a december black psalm
and the night mare rides on
I've faced the fathoms in you deep
withstood the suitors quiet siege
pulled down the heavens just to please you
to hold the flower I can't keep



For Martha



whenever I run
wherever I run to you lost one
It's never done just hanging on
the past has let me be returning
as if dream shattered as belief
if you have to go don't say goodbye
if you have to go dont you cry
if you have to go I will get by
I'll follow you
and see you on the other side
but for the grace of love
I'd will the meaning of heaven from above
your picture out of time
left aching in my mind
shadows kept alive
if you have to go dont say goodbye
if you have to go dont you cry
if you have to go I will get by
I will follow you
and see you on the other side
but for the grace of love
who'd will the meaning of heaven from above
long horses we are born
creatures more that torn
mourning our way home



Blank Page



Blank page
was all the rage
never meant to say anything
in bed i was half dead
tired of dreaming of rest
got dressed drove the state line
looking for you at the five and dime
stop sign told me stay at home
told me you were not alone
blank page was all the rage
never meant to hurt anyone
in bed i was half dead
tired of dreaming of rest
you havent chnged
youre still the same
may you rise as you fall
you were easy
you are forgotten
you are the ways of my mistakes
I catch the rainfall through the leaking roof
that you had left behing
you remind me of that leak in my soul
the rain falls
my friends call
leaking rain on the phone
take a day
plant some trees
may they shade you from me
may your children play beneath
blank page was all the rage
never meant to say anything
in bed i was half dead
tired of dreaming of rest
got dressed drove the state line
looking for you at the five and dime
but there i was picking pieces up
you are a ghost of my indecision
no more little girl
