goodbye memories of the past
and a dream i thought would last
silhouettes of days
and i know it's gone to stay
it's gone to stay
it's gone that way on my waiting and growing tall
you should know we're madgical
still i feel it slip away
and i know it's gone to stay
it's gone to stay
it's gone to stay how did i ever fall
from the love that i recall? should the light upon my mind
tell me what i'm gonna find
dark and emptiness each way
and i know it's gone to stay
it's gone to stay
it's gone to stay how did i ever fall
from the love that i recall? should the light above my mind
Diogenes in me find
dark and emptiness each way
with a hope you drive insane 'cause i know it's gone to stay

Nitecap

oh sleepy
oh sleepy
won't you kneel beside me?
tell me there's a rhythm to these days oh sleepy
oh sleepy
won't you lay beside me?
hold me like the river holds a babe and maybe
just maybe
I'll stretch your name like taffy
tight around your finger
with no cause for any ring oh baby
oh baby
it's good to hear you laughing
'bout the silly things that we do sing oh sleepy
oh sleepy
let me kneel beside you
tell me there's a rhythm to these days oh sleepy
oh sleepy
let me lay beside you
hold me like the river
holds a bay go to sleep
I'll go to sleep
giving sleepy head
I'll go to sleep
getting sleepy head
I'll go to sleep
giving sleepy head

Perv

two boys dance and the construction goes on
two girls shake and the queue to piss it is long
oh lord, look at those legs!
oh lord, look at those legs! ah they're very nice!
they’re very nice! I hope he puts his head between them every night
ah very nice! very nice! I hope he sleeps between them every night at my window, I'm watching the modas go by
skipping my thoughts like a stone on the river oof ya!
eyvallah! check that hair!
eyvallah! check that hair! oh it's very nice, ebonized but I think the one on the right she might be dyed
”ağlamak istiyorum” but it's from my crotch I want to cry kid is crying in the stroller but the urchin on the street he sleeps sound
and everybody's tired of everybody pushin' each other around
jah jah! would you check those eyes!
jah jah! would you check those eyes! ah they're piercing, they're cat swept
when I'm looking at hers, he's looking back at mine
tinge of curiousity, I look back at his, he's staring at the ground youth of today, well it glistens with a boğaziçi glean
first and foremost, you should never lose that summer feeling
youth! with all the change and the sway that it brings
don't hold too tight, and never lose your right to spring!
jesus christ of latter day saints
grammar nazis that we ain't
gonna take some time, check my mind, this sexual feeling, will to survive
smile akin, do your own thing, yürü kim tutar seni! yürü kim tutar seni!
 

Raise A Laugh

my ten gods will forgive your one
meters on, think it over son
my ten gods will forgive your one
it's a pardon born of oblivion
7 demons lighter since the priest has left my cell! will your one god just forgive my ten?
take your time, mull it over friend
will your one god just forgive my ten
it's a pardon born of oblivion 7 demons lighter since i left that job is sales!
i had a dream i resisted myself
i had a dream i embraced myself
i had a dream i resisted myself i was the toughest gentleman in the room!
down on the streets there are outstretched hands some hold kids, and some hold instruments
down on the streets there are outstretched hands left the hoof and the talisman and the change it jingles on my hipbone like a tambourine!
those who die young well the gods love them
alexander and lot, yeah the gods love them
but those with us they are young shaven
yeah those with us they are young shaven!
raise a laugh (raise a laugh)
this too will pass
as will we as will we

Slow Fire Dentist

ah your mouth is bothering you so much these days
you got teeth so weak man, they ride horses
and your tongue is caught between your teeth and cheek
let's stop for the slow fire dentist anyhow
i think! he can still operate
i think! he can still operate i think! he can still operate i think! can he still operate? slow fire is and slow fire does
slow fire will and slow fire was
'round before even you and me
let's stop take a look-see
i think! he can still operate
i think! he can still operate i think! he can still operate i think! can he still operate? ah your mouth is bothering you so much these days
if it's bothering you, you gotta hear what they say
all the places seen and the places you’ve known
it's enough to make your own mouth groan
i think! he can still operate
i think! he can still operate i think! he can still operate i think! can he still operate? i slipped down a side one, provisional
past the hang dog hollers taking tonal tolls
neither Mr. or missed he said to take it slow
and that's how you feel operational
and now i'm feeling operational and now i’m feeling operational and now i’m feeling operational and now i’m feeling operational i think! he can still operate
i think! he can still operate i think! he can still operate i think! can he still operate? operational!

Thick Heads

it's easy to assume
that you're marked
marked for noon and to walk (walk, walk, walk, walk)
and to walk (walk, walk, walk, walk) and to walk (walk, walk, walk, walk) with a pistol
silhouette you think violence is in bloom (better sensations to be chasing)
you cower while we croon (can't win it's the sun you're facing) and your talk (talk, talk, talk, talk)
and your talk (talk, talk, talk, talk) and your talk (talk, talk, talk, talk) it blows tumbleweeds through this fake mind set mind, mind, mind, mind
mind, mind, mind, mind
set man you got to fix your thick head mind, mind, mind, mind
mind, mind, mind, mind
set

Trinidad/Tobago

a man, a lover of song
a man, he won't be for long
a man, until he is a man no more a love of infinite gesture (gesture)
a love, it won't be sequestered (sequestered)
a love until those plans fly out that door those cracked linoleum floors lead to change
and most in the town well they treat you strange
and what's worse? those who don't see you at all a mind, alchemist of gender
so long he's legally tender
and headed for some far off distant shore faded posters of fighters in rings
the country doctor "sure" he sings
and the sun
vanquishes all trinidad is calling you tobago (no man is an island)
trinidad is calling you tobago (but many are peninsulas)
trinidad is calling you tobago (no one is a rock)
trinidad is calling you tobago (but many are islanders)
(we’re gonna do two colorados) trinidad is calling you colorado trinidad is calling you colorado trinidad was calling you so they go and they’ve gone, and they’ve gone, and they’ve went
