Paint you by Numbers

Did I ever tell you how I
painted you by numbers
your eyes were the number three.
Your pubic hair was six
It was a nude
by the way
Oh, when I'm painting
you by numbers
everything seems right
and accurate.
This love is easy
and it should be
because it's by the numbers
and you're naked.
Would you believe
that I
painted you by numbers
How I painted myself inside
of you and made your colours
shimmer with fucking
This is my paintbrush of horsehair
this is my paintpot of stone
When light refracts
through the earth's atmosphere
it will illuminate this wretched pigment
in a brilliant bright rainbow
which my humble hands
can barely contain
as it bursts onto the the canvas
and forms the shape
of your precious body
and I'll never be able
to reproduce
that beauty again
in this life
or any I'd live,
even though it's
all by the numbers!
...and everything seems right
and accurate.
This love is easy
and it should be
because it's by the numbers
and you're naked.

Raincoat

It's never too early for Demerol
It's never too early for shoes in the rain
It's never too early for killing yourself.
put on your raincoat and throw off your chains
Now is the time for chewing through doors
Now is the time for knots to fray
Now is the time for a golden boy
Now put on that raincoat and make them pay!
Its power is fist!
Its power is dry!
Its power is Android!
Its humour is wry!
Its power is steel!
Its power is phaser!
Its power is MARS!
Its humour is jupiter!
We are Space!
We are interstellar gods!
It's the raincoat that guides us!
To what's supposed to be the future!
But it's suburban! It's pedestrian
and it's concrete...
go home
to your rest stop
go home
to your moon
hang up that old rain coat
and retire to your room...
Make them pay!!

Make me your prince
I travelled the world in your name
but been no where since...
you left
I saw you in Venice
swimming by
my gondola
but you were dry
how were you dry?
Tell me your secrets
teach me your moustache
move me through the puppeteering world
throw me in the trash
compactor...
Charter a plane....
take all night to explain...
the significance
of that gnome in the red coat...
I've been haunted...
free me from this nightmare...
I've seen your powers!
In the mall, in the park,
on the street, on the screen.
It's the World to me!!!!
I know it's cold
in Saint John,
but come on home...
I'd love to see you.
We'd all love to see you...

If I took these rancid gloves off
would I still seem cold to you?
Maybe it's just this endless winter
Maybe I'm just a--
--not the best kind of man.
If you'll give me a chance
we can go up past
the permafrost
dig up that box
with all your photos in
and warm our hands on it
burning
BURNIN!
It's nothin' personal
It's just cold.
It's nothin' personal, I said.
aAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUGGGHHHFUCK!
Somewhere between this
Compaq Portable
and the C-Band dish
we sleep in
maybe there's a
sparkle or tragedy
you know I can't tell the difference anymore.
but a warm body is about
as nice as I can run a mile for.
RUN!
Run to the Sea!
To the Water!
Put your toes in!
Get Wet!!!

You and Your Ladyfriends

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 your 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?)
