A man made of butterfat
Careening around on a Sno-Cat And I can't drive any faster My hands are like ice and the moon shines On pepper trees and road grease The yellow lines look blue Snow covers Whitehall White powdered Nembutal And I can't think any more My feet are like ice And the moon sets On Christmas trees and plastic deer I decided to forgive and forget I thank god you're comatose As I pull back the bedclothes And I can't believe my composure And I can't remember my anger And summer is a fish story I wonder where we'll be |

Slipping down railings
And balconies With a sleepy ease I never knew I navigate my way to you Indigent darkness Thick as a dream A liquid party underneath Though I'm still shaky and weak Knees pressed against the leather couch I couldn't find my bra and You were so familiar I think that I leaned out too far I wouldn't have if my heart and my stomach hadn't fallen So hard That's some hat trick An effortless move That tearful frantic creature Seems far away from here My New Orleans nickel ring Your deep wilson tattoo Under the bullshit radar I came to find you Knees pressed against the leather couch I couldn't find my bra and You were so familiar I think that I leaned out too far I wouldn't have if my heart and my stomach hadn't fallen So hard Knees pressed against the leather couch I couldn't find my bra and You were so familiar I think that I leaned out too far I wouldn't have if my heart and my stomach hadn't fallen So hard |

Well I never
I never saw Anybody move like that before Why do we spend so much time Here on the floor Looking up like I did before You're intoxicating movement ate away At my sad eyes and my headache I never I never thought I'd be falling I'd be caught I see a bone and a straw in the dirt White Nevada light I squint against his shirt My sleeping pills melted And I sleep fine The tears on my shoulder Won't keep me up tonight The snake around my finger Starts to unwind Soak up the weather Suck up the sun Into your bones Then move on I see a snake and a girl in the snow White Nevada light I feel the itch to go The tears on my shoulder Freeze then boil I wouldn't be here If not for your snake oil |

I feel the tug of war
I fight the fight But I don't have the patience Or the stamina to last one night With color mad candy mouth you Your reputation lives In spite of me Your platitudes and berzerk theories Super real fantasy That infuriating Vanishing twin He has metal bones and a wild eyed stare I'm thinking feigning interest Badly like a liar And then he blows me away And then all I want is A room and you The urban hillside glinting copper In the morning A broken spell Alive and well That's the way the cookie bounces In spite of me I hate clever sons of bitches Who can't leave a girl alone To rot in peace |

Head first into the head board
I'm shatter proof But cranial impact Taps something true If I could grab your attention With my styrofoam rattle box You'd smile away my transgression And tap something lost A spitball to the ribcage My useless heart hit We're slap happy the livelong day Neck and neck If I could grab the man on a street With my raspy rattaplan My only personal property A raspy whispered plan A bottle green sky Stinging yellow hair In a tizzy of deviation Giddy in the glare If I could grab this whirligig And keep it in my arms We'd persevere through what is here And mourn what is gone A smoker's gasp And a child's howl Cut through the air... Drown out all other sound |

He leaves suspiciously
As panic enters Geography for beginners Barter for the rest of your life Feeling wasted comes in waves Orient harder Bend your molten face To smile at a stranger How much for a life you don't despise Tons and a shining silver sun Don't you wish you hadn't gone I am starting to sometimes I wish you were here Only sweetness that's all To shake off the bitter So I make you toothless well Live on water Water for a thirst you can't fight Precious stones and precious bodies Have you been savaged by love bites How much for a life you don't despise Tons and a shining silver sun Don't you wish you hadn't gone I am starting to sometimes I wish you were here Long underrated silver sun Don't you wish we hadn't gone We were starting to see a beautiful mirror |

4pm death by mosquito
And vitamins V Home and the contrasting squalor A mouth full of vodka This lukewarm catastrophe Is a recipe for rebirth Or so i overheard Flat on the Afghani carpet The tub's overflowed I'm still staring through the fish tank And a fist full of Valium This lukewarm catastrophe Is a recipe for rebirth Or so i overheard You're gonna want to keep in touch with your silence Remember shy person hell I won't waste your time with lies And there's not much truth to tell I won't go under in this state I'm as ugly as i look So dinner's a vivid hangover And a long-ass drive This lukewarm catastrophe Is a recipe for rebirth Or so i overheard You're gonna want to keep in touch with your silence Remember shy person hell I won't waste your mind with lies And there's not much truth to tell You're gonna want to ride back here with me I've got the coolest view And on vitamins V I can't seem to lie to you I can't seem to lie to you |

You are good
You are kind You are drunk all the time But never drunk enough As you're battered by the underside of what we swore we wanted Bothered by the crapshoot that has put you half to sleep A sorely needed sleep I'll hang outside the door all night I'll bang on the door all night You are good You are brave No matter what you say But never brave enough As you're trying to shield Your glass newborn from the dodgeballs And aching for children That you have never seen But it's still a tragedy It's still a tragedy It's still a tragedy |

I would bet you don't care
So I pray to the ether I thought the city air would hear me whisper When the blue expanse of morning comes You sleep while I stalk the sun, like a baby I don't break in icy blasts I ache for the past, like a baby A tourist in your head I capture shining moments To busy myself with whenever you're a jerk When the blue expanse of morning comes You sleep while I stalk the sun, like a baby I don't break in icy blasts I ache for the past, like a baby This gnawing emptiness seeps in like a cold mist Their touching approval feels so awful When the blue expanse of morning comes You sleep while I stalk the sun, like a baby I don't break an icy blasts I ache for the past, like a baby But beauty's few and far between Who knows what you have seen... |
