Unicorn Statuettes
04:38
|
|||
On silhouette nights you wear your best disguises
Red and blue make up explosions on the rug
Unicorn statuettes are dancing in your pocket
Each and every time you raise your hand
I'll take a stand now to make it as habitual
As the ceremonies before you go to bed
...And now the time has come
On yellow beaches
A little girl is made into a monster
Dismantled part by part
Her heart's an ashtray
It's getting crowded here
You're a religion, a trickster
As time passes by your fangs are growing nicely
Sharp, unloving, ready to penetrate
My left shoulder or common carotid artery
There's a musical concerto in my skull
I'll take a stand again to show what you did to them
A dozen mannequins left leafless by the door
...The aliens are here
On yellow mountains
A lonely song is played
While mountain spiders
Caress their yellow backs
And popcorn kernels
Rest on the kitchen floor
Don't tell nobody we've been here
A white conclusion
A god saved by the bell
Disgorges mortar
The milk is not for you
Who's been abducted
And who has been consumed
By asymmetrical Rorschachs?

Picture on My Wall
08:27
|
|||
Blue haired lady's afraid of the hog under her bed
Late at night shadows might come out and make her hair white
Blue haired lady's afraid of the ghosts inside her head
But it's all just a small, pretty picture on my wall
Carry on, carry on
Ordinary
Can't go on, can't go on
Unnecessary
"It's okay", says the day, "It has always been this way"
But our lady won't find comfort in words of this kind
Sun flees, moon takes its place, mirror shows another face
Lady's nightmares came true, lady's hair no longer blue
Carry on, carry on
Ordinary
Can't go on, can't go on
Unnecessary

Loneliness
05:33

Hello, ladybug where'd you come from?
Ladybug, where did you go?
Let's get ready we're already late for
The stick bugs punk show
You've got some information, don't you?
I don't know where to begin
Just sitting tight in my narrow station
One or the other
Come down, I'm, look, I'm almost sleeping
The sea's welcoming me in
Water, blanket of clear isolation
Water, stepmother
It's a joke
It's always been a joke
Choke to choke
Rest
Mondays, you're such a mess anyway
Your heart is darker than your mind
Just drink this potion and everything will be fine
Don't think we're out of time
Bellyaches
Look away, sad mistakes
Ducks and drakes
Void
Lover, come on over
Home again
Home alone, not again
Count to ten
Dark
Is mom back? Is she back?
Winter ends
Fire melts winter friends
Useless movements
Dear child, hide me inside
We are dead
Out of womb, into bed
Sorely misled
Hooray, losing our way
Loneliness

Our Sorry Love Story
07:45
|
|||
Someone, someone, someone
Wants to see me soon
My heart, my lonely heart's
A hot air balloon
My worries are away
Deep in plastic wrap
Fighting our way away
From a star-crossed mishap
Someone, someone, someone
Wants to see me soon
Colder, colder, colder
Is my air balloon
No way, no fucking way
We would ever part
Fighting our way away
From the star-crossed bar chart
(WOW)
(WOW)
(WOW)
(WOW)
(WOW)
(WOW)
(WOW)
(WOW)
And it makes me feel
Like a bunny rabbit
In a good way
And it seems
When you're right beside me
Nothing's not okay
And it makes me feel
Like a bunny rabbit
In a good way
And it seems
When you're right beside me
Nothing's not okay
Is not okay
Now he's working all the time, hasn't got no time for me
Disappearing in the night
Now he's working all the time, hasn't got no time for me
Disappearing in the night
Now he's working all the time, hasn't got no time for me
Disappearing in the night
Now he's working all the time, hasn't got no time for me
Disappearing in the night
Now he's working all the time, hasn't got no time for me
Disappearing in the night
Now he's working all the time, hasn't got no time for me
Disappearing in the night
Now he's working all the time, hasn't got no time for me
Disappearing in the night
Now he's working all the time, hasn't got no time for me
Disappearing in the night
But it made me feel
Like a bunny rabbit
In a good way
And it seems
When he was beside me
Nothing was okay
But it made me feel
Like a bunny rabbit
In a good way
And it seems
When he was beside me
Nothing was okay
Now he's working all the time, hasn't got no time for me
Disappearing in the night
Now he's working all the time, hasn't got no time for me
Disappearing in the night
Now he's working all the time, hasn't got no time for me
Disappearing in the night
Now he's working all the time, hasn't got no time for me
Disappearing in the night
Now he's working all the time, hasn't got no time for me
Disappearing in the night
Now he's working all the time, hasn't got no time for me
Disappearing in the night
Now he's working all the time, hasn't got no time for me
Disappearing in the night
Now he's working all the time, hasn't got no time for me
Disappearing in the night

I had the strangest dream last night
Clark Kent approached me on ice skates
And for 2 reasons he had planned
To take me down with a clothesline
Nurse Ratched accidentally ate
James Bond's left shoe on their first date
And behind glass panes I could see
The toys I lost when I was eight
And lost memories in a clutch bag
Of us playing hide and seek and tag
I could have been what I wanted
I hoped my friends wouldn’t find me
[Mary Poppins]
"Now then, the qualifications -- Item one: a cheery disposition. I am never cross. Item two: rosy cheeks... Obviously"
It makes my head spin forever
And create hurricanes somewhere
I wanna sit by the ocean
I wanna be with the wrong friends
[David Attenborough]
"A Panther Chameleon. Every part of its body has become specialized for a life of stealth among the branches. Its toes have become grasping pincers. Its skin can change color, for camouflage or to signal emotions"
I don't think a lot
Often do not
But just as I thought
A negative plot
When no one is near
I too disappear
Loneliness my dear
I don't think a lot
Often do not
But just as I thought
A negative plot
When no one is near
I too disappear
Loneliness my dear
I don't think a lot
Often do not
But just as I thought
A negative plot
When no one is near
I too disappear
Loneliness my dear
I don't think a lot
Often do not
But just as I thought
A negative plot
When no one is near
I too disappear
Loneliness my dear
Sometimes I'm sick of it
World's full of crazy shit
Can't get the hang of it
Trapped on a rock between planets and planets
And thousands of sunsets
And suns threatening to burn everything to ashes

Bad Times Sex

Bad times sex is only as frantic
As taking a boat trip across the Atlantic
One, two, three, but I'm still elastic
Given everything just to make us romantic
One of the things, one of the things I want's
A good times, a good times sex
One of the things, one of the things I want's
A good times sex

Chauvinist Bastard
04:11
|
|||
You're sitting outside with your aftertaste beer
And when the lightning comes you begin to fear
For the garbage inside you might become wet
Alerting everybody's noses so they don't forget
Who thinks he's superior to anyone around
Who has a knack for always bringing everyone down
So go back to where you dwell, does that ring a bell?
You're a chauvinist bastard, go to hell
It's you again? Man, you just don't understand
No one wants to hear about your stupid cover band
Must everything you say be soaked up in your vanity?
Gotta say I'm tired of your toxic masculinity
You're losing your mind to be one of a kind and I'm begging of you - stop!
You say it's ok to abuse if you pay, could you just - shut up!
You know, your father is a bother but he knows it as well
You're a chauvinist bastard, go to hell
You're sitting outside, your pride nearly died
When they passed by, didn't notice your ride
Maybe they could tell
You're an overall douchebag, go to hell

The Rest You Need
06:03
|
|||
The minute hand slaps you across the knuckles as the hour hand pushes your back
In a blink of a tired eye you're once again on the racing track
If you care too much about something you're gonna ruin it
If you care too much about something you're gonna ruin it
You bottle up, you settle down and then you throw a fit
Work with what you have
T-Take your time to complain about the mess
Make a color-coded bullet list of half important things you have to tell the press, and then digress. For example:
• You have a vest
• You have a nest
• You have a pest
But all you need is the rest
All you need is the rest
All you need is a rest
You're never gonna get the rest you need, internalize it
You're never gonna get there in time, might as well forget it
I had a million questions for your ear, over your shoulder
Playing with slime we pass our precious time, even if we mean it
You... you should have guessed
Playing the fool, hoping for the best
What it all comes down to is a jest
What it all comes down to is a jest
Blinded by the light you're attracted to the light you're blinded by the light you're attracted to the light you're blinded by the ligh-ligh-ligh-ligh-ligh-ligh-
Speculate, suffocate and reinvest
If you care too much about something you're gonna ruin it
If you care too much about something you're gonna ruin it
Bit, by bit, by bit,bybitbit
• You have a nest
• You have a vest
• You have a pest
Might be hard to digest
That all you need is the rest
All you need is the rest
All you need is a rest
You're never gonna get the rest you need, internalize it
You're never gonna get there in time, might as well forget it
I had a million questions for your ear, over your shoulder
Playing with slime we pass our precious time, even if we mean it
Loneliness made room for sweet happiness, go ahead and grab it
You weren't made to walk this road alone, together we can run it
I have a picture of my dearest friend, deep in my memory
She'll never go without saying goodbye, even if she's in a hurry
Time is a viscious mister, he preserves the space between us
When we're together time is standing still, floating around us
We'll never be as half as cold as he, even in the winter
Sometimes you find out once you find the key, inside it's colder
