Fire Escape 03:35
We come down hard on the side of sober With logic in our pockets and impeccable taste But that wide-throat dive's got the words hungover Our talking does not follow cleaner blood, but a covered face I need a god machine To satisfy my want for pretty things Something that I can see, all in one place To that I do add everything you say And the lazy propsal at my window Is at once a taking and a chance to turn the dial That wide-throat dive's got the words hungover Our talking does not follow cleaner blood, but a riding style We are in the strangest place On bring-your-own-ladder day Calming down a crying baby Climbing down the fire escape

Holy Kisser 03:08
On the holy kisser's block It takes 10 to turn him on And not much more to get him off Hand to mouth just to unfold With corners up, and slightly bored Is the source The thicker the dime, the more he chokes up Like a nightjar's warbling While the quick and the dead give him bad love In a birdbath of soft skin He moves like a woman And gives good dams everyday Will makes paper planes with spanish notes But they do not keep the shape The thicker the dime, the more it grows In a birdbath, wet face He moves like a needletail And gives good dams everyday The swift body soaking starts the squeezing of his legs Oh, holy row If I cannot go, he calls it home First, one wants a daft young bird And doubtless, to carry heavy words

Oh, Primo! 03:14
I heard that you threw yourself down a flight of stairs because you were so tired Of feeling terrible for everything you've done The world was hanging upside down and heads were rolling on the ground With the head of half the man you used to be A visionary In alchemy A spoiled envy A man decaying Oh my god They've killed them all The last were shot Before the fall And the winter that followed was 20 years long (x4) Oh tell me what your face looks like in turin on a friday night And I will time-trip with you back to 1944 I will dress in red and plant explosives underneath the cattletruck That stole your soul and robbed you of your right to die alive With the ferassie's and loving guards all stacked up on the clinic beds No money grows up 'tween your arms, but something does between your legs A diatribe thing Though not much speaking A state of being And terrifying {what kind of mass production new bodies steady burning and the infirmary not for healing only hurting deader apothecary god damn near full and plenty in the infirmary and out in the yard}
