Santa Claus Ain’t Coming I know the cigarette is smoking And I know the Jesus freaks are droning They’re always banging on my front door And I know the elevator’s broken But that’s alright cause I know we’re here for now, we ain’t here to stay I know the mannequins are posing I know that Santa Claus ain’t coming So I’m just skipping the big birthday I know the humming bird is humming But that’s alright cause I know we’re here for now, we ain’t here to stay

Twilight Lovebite Dinner conversation is impatiently berating all the things we like to do when we're young Like gluing both our eyeballs to the screens of titillation or cutting off the heads of our toys And suddenly they call out that heavens had a fallout, "there's no purpose but you're here for a job," The candle wax is dripping like a symphony that's sipping on a funky little tune called "mirage" Here comes the hook, hook, hook And here comes the feeling, feeling, feeling Those are the stars, stars, stars You're hearts are bleeding Here comes the hook, hook, hook And here comes the feeling, feeling, feeling And it's just another twilight lovebite on your neck Crawling through the bustle and trying to flex a muscle in any simple way that you can The rats will start dancing when there's nothing but the captions that are shooting in and out of our mouths And all the neon open signs are New York City fireflies, but no one's got a big enough net The cult screen kisses are accompanied by hisses of a million lonely women's regrets Here comes the hook, hook, hook And here comes the feeling, feeling, feeling Those are the stars, stars, stars You're hearts are bleeding Here comes the hook, hook, hook And here comes the feeling, feeling, feeling And it's just another twilight lovebite on your neck

Thorns in My Side Sticky fingers and a new day Shadowed by you I’m plucking out the thorns in my side You seek confession on an old case Same old swing tune I guess you’ll take that one to the grave I don’t know you, love I don’t know what makes you cry Again a lecher at the sunrise brains black and blue Everything was calling my name An avalanche of dreams of old age Twisted and used Shoveling all these ghosts to the side I don’t know you, love I don’t know what makes you cry So goodbye, friend goodbye, love goodbye to shape and sound of your song the air is still but this is where you belong So I’m plucking out the thorns in my side

Skin Of A Lion I’ve been trying to assume the shape of the perfect man for you But still I’m swinging the old battle ax right beside my dreams of you Stolen punchlines and the plundered hearts—they’ve all set the stage for you Your body’s imprint on a summer night whets my appetite for you I’ve been drinking The serpent’s singing Here’s to his song Here’s to the evening Skin of a lion Strung up and drying Here’s to our laughing Here’s to our crying Across the page your body stretches words that dribble from my mouth for you Your precious vessel stirs a restless need that swarms throughout the night for you I’ve been trying to assume the shape of the perfect man for you In every kiss I plant upon your skin is an endless plea for you I’ve been drinking The serpent’s singing Here’s to his song Here’s to the evening Skin of a lion Strung up and drying Here’s to our laughing Here’s to our crying

Dark Globe 02:59
DARK GLOBE Oh where are you now pussy willow that smiled on this leaf? When I was alone you promised the stone from your heart my head kissed the ground I was half the way down, treading the sand please, please, lift a hand I'm only a person whose arm bands beats on his hands, hang tall won't you miss me? Wouldn't you miss me at all? The poppy birds way swing twigs coffee brands around, brandish her wand with a feathery tongue my head kissed the ground I was half the way down, treading the sand please, please, please lift the hand I'm only a person with Eskimo chain I tattooed my brain all the way... Won't you miss me? Wouldn't you miss me at all?
