SPY
HUNTER
I’m not so easily found
But you follow
I broke into the apartment
I ducked into the alley
I slipped deep in the shadows
You followed
In the window
I see
Your reflection
In the shadows
That’s my protection
I’m not so easily found
You’re not so easily killed
But still I'll kill you
How much did they pay?
How much to betray?
How much did they pay for you to kill me?
PLENTY
OF MONEY
When you parked in the lot
The lot was empty
When you strolled through the mall
The mall was empty
When you walked in the store
All the aisles were empty
But when you look in your wallet
You’ve got plenty of money
When you go out at night
You feel so empty
When you come home to bed
Your bed is empty
When you finish vomiting
All your guts are empty
But when you look in your wallet
You’ve got plenty of money
When you look at the sky
The sky is empty
When you gaze in the mirror
The mirror is empty
When you look in your head
Hey! your head is empty
But when you look in your wallet
You've got plenty of money
But when you look in your wallet
You've got plenty of money
But you come to easy
I think I’ve seen that movie
I walked right out of that movie
When I walked in the theatre
The theatre was empty
I took a look at the screen
The screen was empty
I even waited for the credits
But they were empty
When you look in your wallet
You’ve got plenty of money
When I get up inside you
I feel so empty
I put my fist inside you
You still feel so empty
When I come inside you
You’re so fucking empty
But when I look in your wallet
You’ve got plenty of money
CURATE
MY LOVE
I went to the museum
I tried to take you home
Everyday I’m at the museum
Looking at you
but you’re made out of stone
You’re just a statue
But I love you
Gonna add you to my collection
Find a place in my stone garden
Then I’ll put you to work in the kitchen
See what you can do with no arms
and these knives
I’ve been all around the world
To the finest museums
Ain’t seen nothin’ fine as you
and I call ‘em as I see ‘em
Gonna put you in the back of my pick-up
And take you home to Mom
Then I’ll put you to work in the kitchen
See what you can do with no arms
MISERY
ANTENNA
Everyday I walk down the street
To go and go and go
Everyday I see you on the corner
So low so low so low
Everyday I look into your eyes
Hello! Hello! Hello!
Everyday you look away
cuz
you know you know you know
You got something to say to me?
Cuz I got nothin’ to say to you
You must have something to say to me
Cuz I’m picking up your frequency
You can fuck each stranger into knowing
You know you know you know
Fuck each stranger into knowing
Hello! Hello! Hello!
Fuck each stranger into knowing
Hello! Goodbye! It was so nice to see you!
You can fuck each stranger into knowing
Hello Goodbye Please shut the door
You got something to say to me?
Cuz I got an ear for this misery
Are you broadcasting on my frequency?
I can feel your current running thru me
It’s a cross-point bulletin:
New York to Switzerland
-
Cleveland to Richmond
-
Sacto to Brooklyn
-
Vancouver to Amsterdam
I think I saw you in a dream last night
I think I saw you in a dream last night
SABOTAGE
ON THE TELEPHONE LINE
They said you couldn’t do it
All that wire across the ocean
They said you’d never do it
“There’s too much water there”
They said you’d never do it
All that way across the ocean
You said you’d never do it
But I’ve seen that look in your eyes before
On that day
You sailed away
Scotland to Newfoundland
1500 nautical miles
Deepest depths charged
On that day
September 25th, 1956
Heard your voice
Crackling
down the line
Every day
Mid-afternoon
In the sun room
Heard your voice
Crackling
down the line
Every day
In the sun room
Mid-afternoon
Your voice like a ghost
And then it -------- stopped!
Sabotage on the telephone line!
Miscellaneous anarchists
Claimed credit for this
Oh how I miss those days
Of copper wire
How I miss your eyes
But they are closed forever
MOTHER
OF PEARL
O this mother of Pearl
Forty years passed
Still a slip of a girl
Possessed of divorced furniture
She grew old enough
To spurn nature
O this mother of Pearl
Said “Vampire habits die hard
dontcha know?”
Her husband died fast
The rest of the family
Slow
O you’re mine
Frozen in time
One day you’ll become my kind
Two decades spent
Trapped in the cellar
Your mother is undead
And someone oughta tell her
She did away with the kin
But the checks
They still came in
Pretended she was
Pearl, her daughter
Until Pearl got revenge
With some holy water
“O beautiful mother,” said Pearl
Vampires they die hard, I didn’t know”
“You killed Daddy so quick,
I think I’ll watch you die slow”
A
REASON FOR DIVORCE
Amidst the junkies and the whores
He found a reason for divorce
Can you get your mind around
That part of town?
“I’m sick sick with dementia”
He tried to tell his wife
But she lay sleeping
On the other side of life
A white girl stuck him
While a black one bled
A white girl shot him
It went straight to his head
-Did you hear what he said?-
“For this freedom I will commit
any sin you ask of me
For this sin I will repent
any kingdom binding me”
It was a matter of course
Yeah the cops were worse
He found a reason for divorce
Sailing home in a hearse
