War Bonnet 04:54
lyrics

WAR BONNET Fly bird Over the fields, over the freeway Anyway Fly as long as your wings carry One day, one day you’ll meet A truck-sized blind spot You’ll die, you’ll freeze and I will find you I will pick your feathers I will pick them one by one I will hold a needle We will have a lot of fun I will pick your feathers We will hold a manifest I will hold the needle You will be the War Bonnet Jump on the cow To get all the blood out Put your hand inside To feel it’s warmth I am a road kill boy A carcass man Fly bird Get on your wings and hide from me I’m coming I’m coming I’m coming

HEATHER I don’t need you, dear I don’t need you Can’t you see I don’t care? How stupid you must be For not knowing it For all these years, all these years Not knowing it How stupid you must be Now I can laugh at you, Heather (The mark on the skin) Now I can laugh at you, Heather (Around the Ring finger) Now I can laugh at you, Heather (Hidden under the glove) Now I can laugh at you, Heather (I ran from you into the asphalt world) How stupid… I never needed you, there I never wanted you To try to save my life How stupid you must be Now they are laughing at you, Heather How stupid you must be For not guessing it All the scenes of the crime growing a knowing smile Now they are laughing at you, Heather Empty parking lots, distant lookout spots How stupid you must be They are laughing at you, Heather How stupid you must have been They are laughing at you, Heather For all these years, for all these years You kept seeing us together How stupid you must be?

Only Let It Be No War 03:59
lyrics
buy track
ONLY LET IT BE NO WAR Went in the kitchen to see the pie It was burned like my mother I came back in my room To find her gone Only let it be no war! Strange sounds coming outside Closing the black eye Peeking out with the good one Taste of blood in my mouth Only let it be no war! I knew it You'd leave me I read it from the tea leaves I saw it on the T.V. show Abducted in the navy On the eve of the war Come back, Sasha

How Long 03:36
lyrics
buy track
HOW LONG How Long Is Forever? You said you never Could live without our love But you seem to breathe just well And I get along as well Angel from the stars I thought you were And then I learned you didn’t care Oh, how I wish we’d never met Then I wouldn’t have to take back what I said I could get over it - But I can’t afford it

God's Great Blow Job 02:20
lyrics
buy track
GOD'S GREAT BLOW JOB I've come to taste your balm Open your gates I've come to sing a psalm To give a grateful praise Confess me all your lies With a moaning cry We lit a flaming fire to keep the beast outside I long to hear the wet sounds That my prayers make We lit a flaming fire to keep the Satan away Gimme head gimme head Kiss me for a little death Gimme head To lick the plate is meditate Blow my mind, holy offerings I get so very tired Of being Job Let me be you, A lion, A mystique fog Fill me in my sleep Baptize me in my dreams Let me be God's next Great Blow Job Give me head Remove the pillow out of my face I wanna praise Open my handcuffs I wanna get loose Blow me Blow through me

BEYOND YOUR EYES Don’t tell me you’re young Your honesty makes it all up Don’t tell me you’re young Your tenderness makes it all up What is that smile for? Why are you crying? I can’t see Beyond Your Eyes If you have something for me Please, for once share ‘Cause I don’t have the time to wait anymore

Library Man 03:09
lyrics
buy track
LIBRARY MAN I like birds I am like a bird I’m riding Helkama Aino My face is red, I know With exhaustion and cold weather I am beautiful Beautiful because I'm open When I see people passing by I look straight into their eyes My eyes are open My eyes are wide open When I ride in my home town Father sometimes I'm desperate I'm sorry I'm penniless I never understood I was a young planet Boiling with lava Nowadays I am calm and finally see your point of view I wish I heard you sing a lullaby I am the Library Man I wake up at 9 a.m. To read the morning paper out on the town I wear flea market shoes and have a simple taste in things I am the Library Man.

Sea Blind 03:42
lyrics
buy track
SEA BLIND Why did I sail this far? Love was here all the time Always peered out to the sea Always peered out to the sea Grey eyes Grey eyes claim That I shine and I’m blind Sore eyes Sore eyes slit Binoculars lifted with shaky hands I say put your dark shades on And stop following me (You knew all the time) The way you take the leather jacket off The way you pull your raincoat on The way you put your dark shades on Stars shine I think I’m done I guess I need A little more time A cigarette, some cigarettes Cups of tea Before you hop on board And come to holler at me

lyrics
buy track
I’M GOING TO STOP KILLING AND START GIVING BIRTH Self-caused decease is healed This sight releases my heart No more crying No torture and murdering I’m going to stop killing Everything’s about to change and it will never end When I close my eyes I see window views of Castles rising from the clouds Baroque-styled reliefs and Arms of mystique symbols I Am Going To Stop Killing And Start Giving Birth There’s a wormhole under the sink My cold hands diving in tomorrow, yesterday Taking lives, taking lives It was freezing But I forced my eyes open to see the end of the world I found my hole in the ice I Am Going To Stop Killing And Start Giving Birth
