fisher king
he's got eyes like jesus and a smile like the devil
lord, how he teases - make an old soul tremble
don't walk away
babe, don't talk that all the time
fisher king, if you give me just one thing
better give me peace of mind
you come thundering like horses
red fire coursing through your blood
then you shower me with roses
i lie naked in the thorns of your love
you say your love is god
can turn my water into wine
well, fisher king, if you give me just one thing
better give me peace of mind
you've come to tempt my faith
come to grind me down to something pure
you've come to drink my grace
until i'm crawling on the bedroom floor
a tongue so sweet
can turn so bitter and unkind
fisher king, if you give me just one thing
better give me peace of mind
so you've come to show me the sun
but when you're done
you're gonna leave me blind
fisher king, you give me just one thing
better give me peace of mind

Gospel of Beauty

THE GOSPEL OF BEAUTY
Such tender grace
Such a sad and handsome face
Devastates the room
It’s a cruel reminder
If I open any wider
I’m sure to be consumed
Chorus:
It’s the gospel of beauty
All your sins melt away
And I’ll forget how you almost killed me
I’ll forget the price I’ve had to pay
Such nobility
Brings us to our knees
And humbles our scheming minds
Now you re-appear
As if we’ve sleepwalked the years
We rush to form a line
Repeat Chorus
And everyone imagines
That with you they share some
Secret connection
But you’re not here
To offer us redemption
No you’re just a
Lovely fire
We feed
With our desire

Horror Cartoon
Little boy gets all that he wishes for
Little boy, his eyes are like open sores
Gazing for days at the television screen
Big brilliant colors make his little heart scream
The dogs that beat him up
Machines that spit him out
Fun-filled fantasies that he cannot live without
Explosions from a hydrogen balloon
Life inside a horror cartoon
Mother buys books for Johnny to read
Mother tries, but she cannot succeed
Johnny won’t sleep, or eat, or go to class
Little boy trapped inside the TV glass
The cakes that explode
The upside down carousel
Johnny cannot escape this hanna-barbera hell
Tonight a huge talking baboon
Life within a horror cartoon
Jumping from windows
Landing splat on the ground
With a soft squishy sound
Walking on water
No worry, no pain
Inside your disney brain
Little boy gets just what he wishes for
Little boy is a boy no more
Liquid skin and painted eyes
Now won’t his mom be real surprised
The shapes that he can be!
The things that he can do!
Now don’t you wish
That rubberband boy was you?
Day and night, morning and noon
Life is but a horror cartoon

The Fog
04:01
|

THE FOG
It’s ringing and ringing
And there’s no one home
And your stinger’s still stinging
And I’m all alone
Streetlights flashing
And I can’t sleep
And all your eggs are hatching
I try to count sheep
One too many times
I thought your love would keep
You are the fog
I’m blind when you speak
The air becomes heavy
And think with heat
I laugh to myself
You’ll never let me through
You become lost to me
Like I’m lost on you

Hanging In A Tree

Hanging in a tree
Hanging in a tree
Waiting for the search party
Oh, the price you pay is time
When you’re arrogant like me
And you think that you can fly
So I’m hanging in a tree
And I’m waiting to be found
Oh, the way they’ll talk to me
When I’m finally cut down
Oh, you rescued me
From my last disaster
You gave me a reason
To fuck up faster
Oh, you carried me
From the burning debris
And proved your love to me
In the soft green pasture
Lots of light
I think they’re coming
Almost in sight
The dogs are running
Helicopters
Megaphones
When they find me
They should leave me alone
And turn back for home
Leave me
Hanging in a tree

April Pearl

APRIL PEARL
Lay down your opera glass
On the table at your feet
Close your stinging eyes
And hold back a heartbeat
Pushing pulling tides whitewash many a girl
But never the insides of our April Pearl
Crouched in a pantomime corner
The rabbit’s hole appears on the ground
It’s so easy to dive in one more time
and fall down…
Tumbling the stairs
A glass ball reflects the light
Her eyes are like curtains
That rise on opening night
They tear and they scream at ribbons and curls
But only we dream of our April Pearl
Cigarette smoke in the darkness
Like dragons all grasping for air
It’s so sad for those who cannot be heartless
And cry an unspoken prayer
Another shell opened to let in the world
How easily broken is our April Pearl?
And you blush as we run for cover
You save the rush for Hamlet’s mother
Hamlet’s mother

So Mean
You're so mean to me
Oh, you make me feel so sad
You're so mean to me
Why you treat me so bad
Everybody knows that love is cruel
And everybody knows that I'm your fool
But you're so mean to me
I can be mean too

Derailed
You got on this train again, my friend
Now you’ve got to stay till the end
I went under that kitchen table recommended by you
Then you pushed me off like an uncomfortable shoe
You made a floor creak and suddenly I’m bearing your shame
I knew from beginning that I didn’t like this game
But you got on this train again, my friend
Now you’ve got to stay till the very end
I fell hard for that serenade you used to do
A clever charade, Rimbaud and Verlaine (Who shot who?)
You heard a door creak and suddenly, I’m Captain Hook
Well, I knew all along you were playing that rook
CHORUS:
I guess you got a little derailed, yes
Off that straight train track trail, yes
I think you got a little derailed, yes
Found you like the taste of puppy dog tail
You stretched out on your brother’s bed
and smiled like a cat
Little army men running down your back
Now if we examine this,
are there any details you care to list?
I can feel your eyes glaring at me like fists
Should I say any more about this?
REPEAT CHORUS
That beanbag got between us
Our hands played hide-n-seek
I found your Mount of Venus
Your heart line’s looking weak
Ask 50 Magdelenes
And try to be discreet
Is this a secret I should keep?
Complete discretion…
All the tension…
I’ll testify to my own resurrection
REPEAT CHORUS till end
