Rain saves lives

Fireman says
Rain saves lives
in summer time
Summertime
The country, the palace, your father in chaos
Fireman says
rain saves lives
but we all know
some men lie
I tell her she’s beautiful
because she’s beautiful
I tell her she’s magical
because she’s magical
We all know
it’s Summertime
some other time
some other time
I tell her she’s magical
she’s magical
I tell her she shouldn’t go
she shouldn’t go


Holy something

There’s a holy something, somewhere else
and human bones in the rocks and shells
From the highest point in space
there’s a lightning strike
that burns us into the sidewalk
She moves like a leopard
like a weapon
like a weapon
He looks like a sadist
like a criminal
like a pharaoh
There’s a holy somewhere else
From the highest point in space
there’s a lightning strike
that burns us into the sidewalk
She moves like a leopard
like a weapon
like a leader
He looks like a pharaoh
like a sadist
like a criminal


Impale

Impale the morning with a burning spear
and touch the person who is lying here
I’m still the same as I used to be
I left before she could abandon me
we split slowly
she’ll never know me
I gave up and bowed my head
I’m looking for a quiet bed


Love me don’t

Love, love me don’t
Nobody cares about that
There’s a hole in my heart that won’t close
I was only trying to remember her
the face, the pose
There’s a hole in my heart that will not close
Fake love, Make war
La la la
Bring back Chokebore
La la la
I would do almost anything
except ignore
the girl I fight for
Do drugs, dance floor
La la la
Bring back Chokebore
La la la
Love, love me don’t
I hope she knows
There’s a hole in my heart that will not close


Lullaby for psycho

Take a psycho by the hand
We all try the best we can
There are people on the street that I can not stand
Take a psycho by the hand
I know how to keep my mouth shut, clearly
I fell asleep
you fell a tree
despite the damage that it does to me
Take a psycho by the hand
We all try the best we can
Take a psycho by the hand
Choose the person that you want to be, slowly
You take the field
I take a knee
despite the damage that it does to me
Take a psycho by the hand
We all try the best we can
Take a psycho by the hand
I’m a rotting peach
with one leaf in the next world
I lay my hand on burning sand
I’m waiting here for the next girl
Choose the person that you want to be, slowly
If you escape reality, show me
Take a psycho by the hand
We all try the best we can
There are people on the street that I can not stand
Take a psycho by the hand


Hell

Send me to hell on the next train
in a spiral
down a staircase
on a dog chain
send me to hell in a bright flame
with a smile
in a spiral
on an airplane
There’s a tree in the garden with my name on it
There’s a tree in the garden with my name on it
Bring a silver ladder
if you want to cut me down
Send me to hell in the cold rain
with a suitcase
in a foot race
down a storm drain
There’s a tree in the garden with my name on it
I was not a thief, a follower, or a hypocrite
There’s a tree in the garden with my name on it
I’m gonna swing from my best tie
and watch the fireworks
I’m gonna swing from my best tie
and watch the fireworks
I’m gonna swing from my best tie


Big fat tear

You’re so amazing and then you just disappeared
The rabbits run
The rabbits run
but I’m still here
Waiting for the big fat tear drop
and it is falling, falling
Waiting for the big fat tear drop
Close the curtain and let the traffic slip away
Turn off your phone
Turn off your phone
We’re okay
It was never like it used to be, love
The poison in the citrus
The fire in the kisses
You’re so amazing you’re never gonna disappear
The less we talk
The less we talk
The more we hear
Waiting for the big fat tear drop
When it is falling, falling
So amazing,
Waiting for the big fat tear drop
The less we talk, The less we talk
So amazing

I put out

After I walked past her
I could feel
I could feel something change in my head
The street tilts
she melts
in her shoes
She dissolves in the blues
and the reds
I’ll give you anything you want
is there a trick that the winners know?
There’s a bar where we used to go
There’s a drunk lying on the floor
There’s a woman standing in a window
I put out my hand but she wouldn’t take it
she wouldn’t take it, but I put out my hand
I put out my hand
The sky shifts
She drifts
out of phase
She dissolves in the greens and the grays
I’ll give you anything you want
I’ll give you anything you want
Is there a trick that the winners know?
There’s a fox in the falling snow
There’s a drunk lying on the floor
Theres a woman falling out a window
I put out my hand but she wouldn’t take it
she wouldn’t take it, I put out my hand
Take it
I put out my hand

Stoned dancers

All the stoned dancers
One finger in the morphine drops
Every time they fall asleep
they close the door and spin the locks
From somewhere in a quiet dream
they turn around and look at us
All the stoned dancers
lost in the stellar flux
All the stoned dancers
lost in the stellar flux

Fighter

He swung right at me
but I’m invincible
and a cut opened under his eye
Jesus Christ and the principal
are waiting to see someone die
Before you go to sleep at night
pray to stop the fascist right
so you don’t join them in a dream
Sometimes I see red
I’m so predictable
and a rainbow explodes in the sky
Most of life is not controllable
But we have control when we fight
I wanna change the world
I wanna change the world
Before we fall asleep at night
pray to stop the fascist right
so you don’t join them in a dream


Invader

In a bird
there’s a cage
and he knows it
bars devour the work, the flowers, the sky
Invade our life
Invade our life
Lets hide
In a bird
there’s a cage
and he knows it
I give up
In a girl
there’s a bird
and she knows it
invade our life
invade our life
lets hide





Boys

He’s the fire in the lighter
that curls around up inside her
like poison ink
You’re the oil in the river
You’re the woman in the mirror
Enjoy your new boy
Enjoy that drink
I’m the paperback writer
you’re a Taliban fighter
The end of my pencil the tip of my jeans
Another winner on your team
A sad girl hears boys in her ears
and boys in her mind
You’re the colors in the rainbow
He’s the gutter where the rain goes
like poison ink
enjoy your new boy
enjoy that drink



Filthy days

I watch you pull your hair back
Gold on gold
Food on plates
When your face lights up
are there lights in the bones of your face?
One of these filthy days
One of these filthy days
One of these filthy days
Brighter than the world cup
Not a note
out of place
When your face lights up
are there lights in the bones of your face?
One of these filthy days
One of these filthy days
One of these filthy days
