Nobody likes me
Everyone hates me
I have no friends in the world
and can go no further
I’ve fallen deeply for Precinct X-Y-Z
Made a deal with a stranger, who looked like an athlete
And away in a manger, O child O peace
The sands overflowing on my miscarriage grave
The hourglass shattering time for all its mistakes
Has a home,
feel safe
Till I go wandering
through Precinct X-Y-Z
There’s no intimacy
With some trumpeting angel
The ceaseless howling
Of shepherds diseased
Where the sun shines so much that you wish it were dark
And the shade is damp all alone in the park
A Holiday spent in a grave digger’s brothel
Built from the ditch with its ration of headstone
It’s unlucky, they say, to meet a priest before dusk Unless you’re a carpenter building wooden crosses The match you met kissing roulette The false dawn and The total eclipse
The Hardy twins in their emo disguise
Hardly surprised aint no brother of mine
The aging Pied Piper wearing cat pajamas
With gout from the neck to the fingertips
And the protest on the inside
Once belonged on the outside
Sculpting its sides
Becomes a circle
“The music’s gone
Well, I’ll sing you a song”
Insists the bald raven
Clicking its wings
From its early beginning
Already extinct
Looking for alternates
this is no ones land
Statues overturned
Somebody got mad
Somebody unloved
Wants to re-build the wall
The Wall, the Wall, the WALL
Don’t go looking for lonely
a pooling nominee
Mirandizing A-B-Cs
At Precinct X-y-Z

Night Wing

Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh (2x)
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh (2x)
I’d do most anything for my little sweet night wing
If it wasn’t for the game love plays, and takes away the sweet night loving
She could be my sweet nite wing
Ever since I found out from within
That she kept my heart from wandering
Where did she go, it’s so dark in here?
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh (2x)
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh (2x)
Don’t wanna look for another lover
I’m hard wired to all her mysteries
I overhear then want to disappear
Show me recover and new beginnings
She could be my sweet nite wing
But I let go and she broke free
Then he showed with his heart on his sleeve
And I can’t see cause it’s so dark in here
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh (2x)
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh (2x)
Oh oh oh oh oh
I refuse to remain paralyzed
And inscribed these words on a park fence
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
“Leather jackets find us dangerous
love me till the stars quit
Cause the rock n roll never died
There’s still smoke in your eyes”
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh (2x)
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh (2x)
I’d do most anything for my little sweet nite wing
If it wasn’t for the game love plays that compromise the sweet night loving
The same ol song keeps repeating
The singer keeps hopelessly debating
“She could be
She could be
She could be”
Still crave the night, but hunger for the light
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh (2x)
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh (2x)
Oh oh oh oh oh
I refuse to remain paralyzed
And inscribed these words on a park fence
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
“Leather jackets find us dangerous
love me till the stars quit
Cause the rock and roll never died
There’s still smoke in your eyes”

Starry

She wore the badge that I gave her to the party
It took me weeks to make it, Oh I am so happy
She pranced engaged with excitement, my eyes turned watery
And by the might reciting a verse in Starry
It was pulse and lighted, trident-sided
Sparking graphic equalizers
It fastened Mars first, for a half-sec
No Venus sky could ever mimic
On the spot sat the wheel
Heavy’d on green decaying randomly
Spotlight detected it was there
Deflecting mighty crystal starry glare
On the spot sat the wheel
Heavy’d with green decayed so morphine
Night Camouflage detected it was there
Deflecting mighty crystal starry glare
One spin on its last gear
And one glare that could change my mind again
She wore the badge that I gave her to the party

Interludes
03:09
|

Now the day has moments it competes with the peace found in evening’s end
Interludes that come and go as breezes, to heal with gentle vent
So many tic-toc ticking conflicts
I need to be distracted
Where the daydream collects its dew
And dizzy is the afternoon
There’s a kind of hush I want to achieve before every sunset
Keeps the empires of my trials at sea, away from continent
To heal, to heal with gentle vent
To heal, to heal with gentle vent
I know some people who prefer the night, they long for its stillness
Yet some nights the wind blows cold and dim, in the day we might see them
The fishing village stressed
The catch is in the net
As a pie’s inspected for a plum
Their interlude has just begun
Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo….

Already a Ghost
It’s not like
everyone who lived here a year ago
Has gone and moved on
They’re just fixing things
and the things they fix are not windowless,
empty barns
You’re growing progressively unaware.
Nah Nah Nah Nah-nuka
Nah Nah Nah Nah-nuka
Nah
Commander and Warrior I don’t remember you so unprepared
It’s scary, when someone calls your name how you just stare.
Your wispiness
demands and phantoms standing by
ever so misty
What’s there left to hide
when you invisibly run into me
and turn to grey
And friends, the used-to handle objects but nothing more
Nah Nah Nah Nah-nuka
Nah Nah Nah Nah-nuka
Nah
Punctuations mispronounced speaking backwards Latin
Jet-set, In-transit, walking through the walls
Nah Nah Nah Nah-nuka
Nah Nah Nah Nah-nuka
Nah
You blank,
wandering accustomed scenes
bottomed and drab
The mid-Summer
is shaping, waiting
for your return
“I fly try” you whisper in a funeral tone
I ask “What does that mean?” as you epitaph a monumental stone

Versuchskanichen
02:38
|

Did you ever dance the dance
In which you had to take a chance
Cause the long and lonely nights no longer granted you the gifts
Of singular deliverance
Exhausted from resistance, loves insistence to posses
And the ballroom is so big
There’s people dancing everywhere
The orchestra is locked in awe
Wild cards turn into draws
Man, there oughta be a law
Here comes the hardest part, and it’s so easy to laugh at yourself
Versuchskaninchen
Future and ancient
I first heard the German word from a Senorita
That code it follows is in tiny fragments
Releasing all your countdowns where there are no endings
Spin yourself around, in city and country
But don’t look away for too long at what’s right in front of you
Every morning I promise I will change and change
(Cada mañana, te prometo que va a cambiar)
I hear Los Mariachis tuning up to play

Give it up for the cops
03:37
|
|||
The cops they must be busy now
Closing the books on another tale
Dedicated, graveled and rowed
And when I call them on the phone, they say
Crime make no appointment
Leave that to the full moon, silver and thin
Trying to grow into my shirts
A complicated catch, mean and innocent
Protect my peers from the infra-red
You want me well-behaved, yet disheartened?
I still hear the clicks of the silencers
After your dirty gun fell in the mud
They’ve been trained; They don’t want you to be afraid
Gangstarring , White collars, Goth dressings
Post-street modern dollars and cents
Your shoes aren’t made to run where it never stops
Give it up for the cops, Give it up for the cops
When you’re straight ahead and I look left
That creates two versions of the same event
Free-agent walks bully poet
Guilty bystand on friendly fire
Countenance suspicious
How to tell from the looks how the mind works
They’ve been trained; they don’t want you to be afraid
No sequence, turf is fixed, marks and dents
You can go on leaving them alone oh you can still go on you’re so lucky to be on your own
Give it up for the Cops; Give it up for the Cops
They’ve been trained, I can no longer be afraid
Misperceived variance, Love-to-hate
As long as I don’t hurt someone I won’t give up the right to be wrong
And give it up for the cops; give it up for the cops

Every day I keep myself in check
I don’t have to pretend I can hang with the rest
They’re taking away so many things
They’re taking away so many things
What’s dear to your precious heart could be next
Mister, don’t ask for my id
It’s bound to change based on your followings
And Please keep Graceland well-preserved in Memphis, Tennessee
Field artillery used to pay my rent
The Red Cross came and struck down my inclement tent
Those provoking motions, nevermind
Those provoking motions, nevermind
We’re still living here though we may not see eye to eye
Mister, don’t ask for my id
It’s bound to change based on your followings
And Please keep Graceland well-preserved in Memphis, Tennessee
