~*Beauty Queen*~

She's a beauty Queen
my sweet bean bag in the street

down out to the laundry scene
don't know why she's in my hand
can't figure what it is
but I 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 longs 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 
as long as you army keeps perfectly still

~*Blood Roses*~

Blood Roses
Blood Roses
Back on the street now
can't forget the things you never said
on days like these gets 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
I think you're a queer
Said I think you're a queer
and I shaved every place where you been

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
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
when he sucks you deep
sometimes you're nothing but meat

~*Father Lucifer*~

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's 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
                      everyday's my wedding day
                      though baby's still in his comatose state
                      I'll die my own Easter eggs
                      don't go yet
                      Beenie lost the sunset but that's but that's OK
                      does Joe bring flowers to Marilyn's grave
                      and girls that eat pizza but never gain weight
Father Lucifer you never looked so sane

hello Mr Zebra
can I have your sweater
cause it´s cold cold cold
in my hole hole hole
Ratatouille Strychnine
sometimes she´s a friend of mine
with a gigantic whirlpool
that will blow your mind
hello Mr Zebra
ran into some confusion with a Mrs Crocodile
furry mussels marching on
she thinks she´s Kaiser Wilhelm
or a civilized syllabub
to blow your mind
figure it out
she´s a goodtime fella
she´s got a little fund to fight for Moneypenny´s rights
figure it out
she´s a goodtime fella
too bad the burial was premature she said
and smiled

tuna
rubber
a little blubber in my Igloo
and I knew you pigtails and all
girls when they fall
and they said Marianne killed herself
and I said not a chance
don't you love the girls ladies babes
old bags who say she was so pretty why
why why why did she crawl down in the old
deep ravine
c'mon pigtail girls and all those sailors
get your bags and hold down won't you just
hold down cause Ed is watching my every sound
they're watching my every sound
the weasel squeaks faster than a seven day week
Timmy and that purple Monkey
are all down
at Bobby's house
making themselves pesters and lesters and jesters and my
traitors of kind
and I'm just having thoughts of Marianne
she could outrun the fastest slug
she could
i'm just having thoughts of Marianne
quickest girl in the frying pan

Caught a lite sneeze caught a lite breeze
caught a lightweight 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
 building
 tumbling down
 didn't know our love was so small
 couldn't stand at all
 Mr St. John just bring your son
the spire is hot
and my cells can't feed
and you still got that Belle dragging your foots
I'm hiding it well Sister Ernestine
but I still got that Belle
dragging my foots
 right on time you get closer
                   and closer
 call my name
 there's no way in
 use that fame
 rent your wife and kids today
 maybe she will
 maybe she will
caught a lite sneeze
dreamed a little dream
made my own pretty hate machine
                      boys on my left side
                      boys on my right side
                      boys in the middle 
               and you're not here
                      boys in their dresses

~*Muhammed My Friend*~

Muhammed 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
it's sweet sweet
used to be so sweet to me
Muhammed 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 that flying trapeeze
got a peanut butter hand
but honey do drop in at the Dew Drop Inn
sweet sweet
between the boys and the bees
and Moses I know
I know you've seen fire
but you've 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 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
Muhammed my friend
it's time to tell the world
we both know it was a girl
back in Bethlehem

~*hey jupiter*~

  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 and
  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
  nothings 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 keep
  with you
  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 safe
  now we're through
  thought we both could use a friend to run to
  hey jupiter

'cause I'm with a band you know
don't you hear the laughter on the way down

gonna drive his great,big car
gonna have it all here on the way down

Little Amsterdam
in a southern town
hominy get it on the plate girl
Momma keep your head down
Momma it wasn't my bullet
don't take me back to the Range
I'm just comin out of the cell in my brain
girl you got to know these days
which side your own
Momma got shit
she loved a brown man
then she built a bridge in the Sheriff's bec
she'd do anything to save her man
you see her olives are cold pressed
and her best friend is a sun dress
but Momma
it wasn't my bullet
round and a round and a round I go
round and a round this time for keeps
Father only you can save my soul
and playing that organ must count
for something
girl you got to know these days
which side your on
Little Amsterdam
shut down today
they buried her with a
butter bean bouquet
and the Sheriff now can't ride away
like he said into the sunset
and I won't say
he shouldna paid
but Momma
it wasn't my bullet

if it is worth something
Talula
Talula
she's brand new now to you
wrapped in your papoose
your little Fig Newton
say goodbye to the old world
ran into the Henchman who severed
Anne Boleyn
he did it right quickly a merciful man
she said 1+1 is 2
but Henry said that it was 3
so it was
here I am

I don't want to lose it

Mary M weaving on said
what you want is in the blood Senators

                 with a bit of a shout a bit of a shout
                 a bit of an angry snout
                 he's my favourite hooker of the whole bunch
                 and I know about his only Bride
                 and how the Russians die on the ice
                 I got my rape hat on
                 honey but I always could accessorize
                 and I never cared too much for the money
                 but I know right now  honey
                 that it's in God's hands
                 but I don't know who the Father is

I don't want to lose him
he must be worth losing
if it is worth something

wrapped in your papoose

Not the Red Baron
Not Charlie Brown
think I got the message figured
another pilot down
and are their devils with halos
in beautiful capes
taking them into the flames
Not Judy G
Not Jean Jean with a hallowed heart
I see that screen go
down in the flames
with every step 
with every beautiful heel pointed
Not the Red Baron I'm sure
Not Charlie's wonderful dog
not anyone I really know
just another pilot down
maybe I'll just sing him a last little sound 
many there know some girls with red ribbons
the prettiest red ribbons

had me a trick and a kick and your message
well 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 lets you in lets you in lets you in
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
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

Standin' on a corner in Winslow Arizona
and I'm quite sure I'm in the wrong song
2 girls 65 got a piece tied up in the back seat
"honey we're Recovering Christians"
in the Springtime of his voodoo
he was going to show me spring
and right there for a minute
I knew you so well
got an angry snatch
girls you know what I mean
when swivelin that hip doesn't do the trick
me pureed sanitarily Mr Sulu
warp speed
warp speed
in the Springtime of his voodoo
every road leads back to my door
every road I will follow
every road leads back to my door
got all your crosses loaded
and I know she's not that Foxy
Boys
I know she's not that Foxy  but
you gotta owe something sometimes
you gotta owe
when you're your momma's sunshine
you've got to give something sometimes
when you're the sweetest cherry in an apple pie
I need some voodoo on these prunes
in the Springtime of his voodoo
he was going to show me spring

glue
stuck to my shoes
does anyone know why 
you play with an orange rind
you   say you packed my things
and divided what was mine 
you're off to the mountain top
I say her skinny legs could use sun
but now I'm wishing
for my best impression
of my best Angie Dickinson
but now I've got to worry
cause boy you still look pretty
when you're putting the damage on
 don't make me scratch on your door
 I never left you for a Banjo
 I only just turned around  
 for a poodle and a corvette
and my impression
of my best Angie Dickinson
but now I've got to worry
cause boy you still look pretty
when you're putting the damage on
 I'm trying not to move
 it's just your ghost
 passing through
 I'm trying not to move
 it's just
 your ghost passing through
 it's just your ghost
 passing through
 and now
 I'm quite sure
there's a light in your platoon
I never seen a light move
like yours can do to me
so now I'm wishing
for my best impression
of my best Angie Dickinson
but now I've got to worry
cause boy you still look pretty
 to me
 but I've got a place to go
 I've got a ticket to your late show
and I now I've got to worry 
cause even still
you sure look pretty

sure that star can twinkle
and you're watching it do
boy so hard boy so hard
but I know a girl
          twice as hard
and I'm sure
said I'm sure she's watching it too
no matter what tie she's got in her right dresser tied
I know she's watching that star
          gonna twinkle
          gonna twinkle
          gonna twinkle
and last time I knew
she worked at an Abbey in Iona
she said "I killed a man T,
I've gotta stay hidden in this Abbey"
but I can see that star
       when she twinkles
        and she twinkles
I sure can
that means
I sure can
that means
I sure can
                 so hard
                 so hard
