I will row

i've got a boat
i've got a boat
i don't have a boat,
but i'll steal a boat
i will row
i will row
i will row right up
this frozen river
truth be told
and truth be told
you are a star
and i'm being towed
and we're just a couple of
skinny arms
it's always scary
it's always scary
when gravity
is involved
glory be had
glory be sold
eyes are tired
and room is cold
bah, bah, bah
bah, bah, bah,
bah, bah bah, bah bah, bah bah
i've got a boat
i've got a boat
i don't have a boat
but i'll steal a boat

Trucker Dreams
02:35
|

|
I saw you danglin there
on the vine
you looked so good
like a grape
I could just reach out
and pluck you
carry you home
in my palm
ooohooh!
hoohoohoo
rubberneckin
at the truckstop
couple o girls
standin there
by the cold machine
and by the water
fountain
a trucker feels,
a trucker dreams
All sorts of shit happens in
pensylvania
You would never
believe
skinny dipping mermaids
haunted bathrooms
the bravest gun clubs
fightin' free.

Conservative Lover
02:41
|
|||
|
He's a conservative
gun toting racist misogynist
But you're not obsessed
with racism or killing
If there's one thing I don't get.
It's this particular pairing.
You, a sexy fine girl
and this brutish boy.
I want you.
Obviously.
and I don't mind telling you
I want you.
Obviously
An I feel no shame!
He's venomous, poisonous, dangerous, killing!
digging the dead well into the evening
leaving you home to practice your crochet
making him sweaters and paying his debts
So noble!
Can't you see that something is missing
compassion and tact,
and delicate fucking
Come over to my crib.
I'll give you the number
We'll hide from his wrath
forever and ever!
AAaooh dry me up a river for this!!

Neon Light Physician
04:24
|

|
Neon light physician
s'got too many holes
they're in his latex hands
sterile and cold
Don't go hurtin' for death
s'too early for shame
you've got surgery
the meat has no name.
Drivin 'round the town
shooting out headlights
(in formaldehyde haze)
through the fires of the night
you might speak in tongues
you might hold the lamp
i've seen your halo burst
over the off-ramp
it's all powdered milk and gold
and rubies too
where in this broken world
is the good view?
"Little
do you know,
I'll curse that sweater
before you go!"
He's only a man!

Hand of Bone

|
|||
|
shield them darling
shield them for me
i am full of chemicals
you will need these
i have only been alive once
so quickly i forget
just how easily you come back
from the dead
janey told me that you
take great pleasure
in the finite
so sidle over here
i have got a
hand of bone
shiver darlin'
shiver for me
you know we belong here.
We are cuts of meat.
preserve me darlin'
pack me away.
wait a thousand years
then come back for me.
sidle over here little one
and meet my hand of bone

Expired
03:46
|
|||
|
This is me in the passenger seat
eating french fries from
your glove compartment.
-- And you drive me around.
Here I am in the passenger seat
changing stations like
I own the place.
And you're getting tired.
Why do you drive me? I just
can't get anywhere
without you.
You know, I've already expired.
What if you had to go to the
hospital?
Would I just call a cab
or drag you to a bus stop?
This is you in the driver's seat
ten and two - watching
broken yellow lines.
And you drive me around.
There you are in the driver's seat
hypnotized by the
pot holes and roadkill.
And you drive off the road.
Why do you drive me?
I just can't get anywhere
without you.
You know, we've already expired.
What if you had to go to the
hospital?
Would I just call a cab
or drag you to a bus stop?
Probably.
I probably would.

The Narrative
02:53
|
|||
|
oh my god
oh my god
this might be the end of
the story
but it's not
because i've thought
of other things to say
but it's not
because i've thought
of the other
bits of the narrative
A resolution!
people being led
astray!
a dance in the garden
a dance with
a fox
a killer gets pardoned
a girl with a pox
and this all comes
in technicolor
with bated breath
in canadian -
Canadian winter
a mother
loses her
dreams!!

You and Your Ladyfriends
02:06
|
|||
|
You and your ladyfriends
are not welcome here
this store is my own
it's my home.
don't stand around there
near the folded shirts
that's not your business
it's my own.
There's plenty of spaces
for women like you
get yourself to them
and go.
'cause this
place is an establishment
of class and repute
And lofty ideals
far greater than you're own.
you can't afford my products
you can't afford my love
you can't afford to love this man
and no one ever could
(where did you get that pagoda?
Did you have to go straight to japan?
Would you leave one man for another?
Would you take a wine glass for a lover?)
