PICK ME

Blood in the water what’s your star sign?
Look I don’t have one someone took mine
I got a 6th sense someone wants out
I’ve had a taste of the highlife I doubt
It’s downhill until
I’ll get cremated before I stand still
I got a clone & he doesn’t like hearing no
That motherfucker’s just go go go go
I got used to darkness
But didn’t get used to you
I loved you when I saw you
You bet your life that I still do
I wanna be your change of season
So when we’re broken break the ice
Want you to be the last thing I see
So when I’m dancing towards the light
Pick me
Blood in the water when’s your birthday?
Yeah I don’t have one we’re not the same
I got a hot tip someone wants in
Steven Bradbury coming for the big win
It’s uphill until you get the trauma to distill
I got a clone and he does’t like hearing no
That motherfucker’s just go go go go
While the walls sing ‘Danny Boy’
I want to strip my throat again
I’m sick with things I’ve done
But you are making sense

BAD GIRL

I’m an anarchist & she’s patient
Got love for imagination
Had a few spills, but nothing real
& no love for the expectation
2 white doves in captivity waiting on
Well this cage is gonna open up
We’ll kick a hole in the sky above!
How’s the serenity!?
Oh, she’s a bad girl
big plans, no noise
I gotta keep up
Hold my drink boys
She’s a deadbolt and I’m outside
I gotta change my tactic tonight
& thats a good thing, I want a gold ring
I’m bad company when I try
2 white doves in captivity waiting on
Well this cage is gonna open up
We’ll kick a hole in the sky above!
How’s the serenity!?
Oh, she’s a bad girl
Big plans, no noise
I gotta keep up
Hold my drink boys
I gotta grow up
I’m ready for lift off
She wants a bad boy
Not some heartthrob
Please don’t mind the panic in my eyes we’ll manage
I got time you can have it
Let’s go wreak some havoc now

AU CONTRAIRE

You got killer instinct, kid
You’re gonna go far
Learn to leverage, to raise the bar
It’s synergy, spreadsheets, swimming with sharks
Barnacles on the hulls of hearts
Find weakness & make a friend
Learn to breathe from it’s mouth & then
You seen the matrix? it’s kinda like that
Find a pulse then we take it back
Breakdowns in cars
Driveby jumpstarts
I’ll wring you dry, babe
But you know I care
Au Contraire
You got killer instinct, son
You’re gonna be big If you drop the card that we need to win
It’s energy moving, never destroyed
Transferred to deadlines, golden noise
Find hope & exploit it all
People like feeling safe & warm
But when you fish for love with an atom bomb
One day you wake up & we’re gone
Breakdowns in cars
Driveby jumpstarts
I’ll wring you dry, babe
But you know I care
Au Contraire
Dead-end streets cauterise
It’s a long way home do you want a ride?
There’s always room for clientele
We’ll walk you can go to hell
Dead-end streets cauterise
It’s a long way home do you want a ride?
Not tonight
If you don’t play it you’re gonna get left behind
We got the keys & I heard you wanna drive
Why don’t you sign it? You know we’re on your side
We got the airtime & I heard you wanna fly high right?

IT'S COOL (IT'S NOT)

Hello please hold the line
I’ve got the bends
I’m gonna die
You say depends
I got my ways
You got a tongue
Use it or lose it
Come gimme some
Again, again, again, again
Again here comes the end
C’mon!
It’s so obvious
You got a heart shaped captive audience
They know!
Be notorious for a come back something glorious
It’s alright
It’s cool
Goodbye I’ve held the line
I’ve got to go
I’m gonna die
You say I know
I got a grudge
Chip off the block
Keeps zooming out
’Til I’m a dot
Again, again, again, again
Again here comes the end
Well now, we call this the act of waiting
But what we are waiting for may never come to be!
But wait we shall!
It’s totally cool!

LA PETITE MORT

Think of it again & everyone dies
I’m killing butterflies I’m going back in time, yeah
Kissing is like, real cool I’m feeling you, but feeling nothing at the same time
I am in your body moving you
& I thought that we could rest forever somewhere deep & blue
I’ve been picking posies, you’re my one & only - Oh!
You wanna be on my funeral guest list? Consider it done
You are my only friend
Think of it again and everyone dies
It’ll be right once it fades into hindsight
I miss myself the race-car guy
Split in two while I’m melting in the limelight
I am in your body moving you
& I thought that we could rest forever somewhere deep & blue
I’ve been picking posies, you’re my one & only - Oh!
You wanna be on my funeral guest list? Consider it done
You are my only friend

THIS BODY IS A RENTAL

Do you like me ‘cause I’m praline sweet?
Chin to my chest on a cold bench seat?
I don’t need drugs need innocent lies
Chalking up a win dead body outline
Woolen to the touch with a luminous wit
Serpentine skin with the teardrop tits
Throw another brick, baby take your pick go
Dressed to the 9’s, climbing out the window
I’d like to die capricious could you do me one last favour?
A stampede of feelings to combat the grieving
Babe wake up we’re healing, if it’s true we’re leaving
Running to the salt like a maiden name
Humming to a song for the porous pain
Hourglass hips, eyes like boiled sweets
Just watch…the world’s on heat
I’d like to die capricious could you do me one last favour?
A stampede of feelings to combat the grieving
Babe wake up we’re healing, if it’s true we’re leaving
Celestial splinters hang around the winters
& that device in my temple reminds me this body is a rental
