Beauty Queen

She's a beauty queen My sweet bean bag in the street Take it down
to the laundry scene Don't know why she's in my hand
Can't figure what it is but I lie, lie, lie again
 

Horses

I got me some horses to ride on to ride on They say that your demons
can't go there So I got me some horses to ride on to ride
on as long as your army keeps perfectly still And maybe I'll find me a sailor
a tailor and maybe together we'll make mother well
So I got me some horses to ride on to ride on as long as your army keeps
perfectly still You showed me the meadow and
Milkwood and Silkwood and you would if I would but you never would so
I chased down your posies your pansies in my
hosies then opened my hands and they were empty then Off with superfly
 sniffing a Sharpie pen Honey it's Bill and Ben Off
with superfly counting your bees oh me honey like one two three The
camera is rolling It's easy like one two three And if there
is a way to find you I will find you but will you find me if Neil makes me
a tree an afro a pharaoh I can't go you said so and
threads that are golden don't break easily So I got me some horses to ride
on to ride on They say that your demons can't go
there So I got me some horses to ride on to ride on as long as your army
keeps perfectly still keeps perfectly still keeps
perfectly still

Blood Roses

Blood roses Blood roses Back on the street now Blood roses Blood roses
Back on the street now Can't forget the things you
never said on days like these starts me thinking When chickens get a taste
of your meat Chickens get a taste of your meat You
gave him your blood and your warm little diamond He likes killing you after
you're dead You think I'm a queer I think you're a
queer said, I think you're a queer I think you're a queer I shaved every
place where you been boy I shaved every place where
you been, yes God knows I know I've thrown away those graces The belle
of New Orleans tried to show me once how to
tango Wrapped around your feet Wrapped around like good little roses
Blood roses Blood roses Back on the street now
Blood roses Blood roses Back on the street now Now you've cut out the
 flute from the throat of the loon at least when you cry
now he can't even hear you when chickens get a taste of your meat Come on
come on come on come on when he sucks you
deep Sometimes you're nothing but meat

Father Lucifer you never looked so sane You always did prefer the drizzle
to the rain Tell me that you're still in love with that
milkmaid How're the lizzies How's your Jesus Christ been hanging Nothing's
gonna stop me from floating Nothing's gonna stop
me from floating He says he reckons I'm a watercolour stain He says I run and
then I run from him and then I run He didn't see
me watching from the aeroplane He wiped a tear and then he threw away
our appleseed Nothing's gonna stop me from floating
Nothing's gonna stop me from floating Everyday's my wedding day Though
baby's still in his comatose state I'll dye my own
Easter eggs Don't go yet and Beenie lost the sunset but that's OK Does Joe
bring flowers to Marilyn's grave and girls that eat
pizza and never gain weight Maybe she's hiding in a hot dog Got a pig hiding
in a truffle Wearing those purple garters and girl I
got a condo in Hoboken Father Lucifer you never looked so sane You always
did prefer the drizzle to the rain Tell me that
you're still in love with that milkmaid How're the lizzies
How's your Jesus Christ been hanging

lightningseed Boys on my left side Boys on my right side Boys in
the middle and you're not here I need a big loan from the girl zone

your foots I'm hiding it well Sister Ernestine but I still got that Belle
dragging my foots Building tumbling down Didn't know our

Muhammad my friend it's time to tell the world we both know it
was a girl back in Bethlehem and on that fateful day when she
was crucified she wore Shiseido Red and we drank tea by her side
Sweet sweet sweet used to be so sweet to me Muhammad
my friend I'm getting very scared Teach me how to love my brothers
who don't know the law and what about the deal on the
flying trapeze Got a peanut butter hand but honey do drop in at the
Dew Drop Inn Sweet sweet sweet between the boys and
the bees and Moses I know I know you've seen fire but you're never
seen fire until you've seen Pele blow and I've never seen
light but I sure have seen gold and Gladys save a place for me on your
grapevine till I get my own honey TV show Ashre ashre
ashre ashre and if I lose my Cracker Jacks at the tidal wave I got a
 place in the Pope's rubber robe Muhammad my friend it's
time to tell the world We both know it was a girl back in Bethlehem
We both know it was a girl back in Bethlehem

No one's picking up the phone
guess it's me and me
and this little masochist
she's ready to confess
all the things that I never thought
that she could feel
hey Jupiter
nothing's been the same
so are you gay
are you blue
thought we both could use a friend to run to
and I thought I wouldn't have to be with you
something new
sometimes I breathe you in
and I know you know
and sometimes you take a swim
found your writing on my wall
if my heart's soaking wet
boy your boots can leave a mess
hey Jupiter
nothing's been the same
so are you gay
are you blue
thought we both could use a friend to run to
and I thought you wouldn't have to keep
with me hiding
thought I knew myself so well
all the dolls I had
took my leather off the shelf
your apocalypse was fab
for a girl who couldn't choose
between the shower or the bath
and I thought I wouldn't have to be with you
a magazine
no one's picking up the phone
guess it's clear he's gone
and this little masochist
is lifting up her dress
guess I thought I could never feel the things
I feel
hey Jupiter
nothing's been the same
so are you gay
are you blue
thought we both could use a friend to run to
hey Jupiter
nothing's been the same
so are you safe
now we're through
thought we both could use a friend to run to
hey Jupiter
[The Dakota Version] i go from day to day

i know where the car is parked

Had me a trick and a kick and your message You'll never gain
weight from a doughnut hole Then thought that I could decipher
your message There's no one here dear no one at all And if I'm
wasting all your time this time maybe you never learned to take
And if I'm hanging on to your shade I guess I'm way beyond the pale
And southern men can grow gold can grow pertty Blood
can be pertty like a delicate man Copper to steel to a hinge that
is faltered that let's you in let's you in let's you in And if I'm
wasting all your time this time maybe you never learned to take And
if I'm hanging on to your shade I guess I'm way beyond the
pale Something's just keeping you numb You told me last night you
were a sun now with your very own devoted satellite
Happy for you and I am sure that I hate you Two sons too many too
many able fires You been waisting all my time this time
Said you never learned to take And if I'm hanging on to your shade I
guess I'm way beyond the pale Had me a trick and a kick
and your message You never gain weight from a doughnut hole
