We lie at the uppermost

Past the overlays

Hovering the watch

On a stretch of empty staircase

Losing our hope

Wrinkled hours of escape

We start again

Sinister deeds between us

No mercy for bolted doors

Every time into the gutter

Lucky for us, no one was counting

Disintegrating your euphemistic signal

All those valueless things

I burned your Pentateuch to stay warm

It was a well bribed justice

Counting your fingers and toes

Making sure you didn’t sell them 

For that gun-toting mob

It was a systematic-wide love

Made the system crash

Another gun pointed at your head

My dimes donated for the dodging light

We all need a foot soldier

Double deals for the troubadour

You were a spy when I first met you

Dissolving that something inside

The price you put on my head

I could never see you as a beggar

This laugh of mine loves the utmost

Tumbling always with my sin

Another lie I tell myself

About you and about me

Covering the logos with my hat

Feeble attempts at exorcism

Asking you crazy questions

With my splattered brains

Trying to convince you of my sincerity

When your god steals my rib

Another time I am used for the government

This time I mean it

I promise to never lie again

Especially when I kiss you

My gun is loaded with a bullet for you

I know I have missed you so many times before

This time I won’t miss 

I swallow one more pill of indoctrination

Waiting for the genie to pop out of the bottle

These tracks I follow to nowhere

At lest we go there together

Whether it is heaven or hell

Pasting your secrets in the back of the book

Where the answers are held

There are no answers for me

Only for you

It is really me that you hate

And not yourself

As you tell the television priest over the phone

He only wants your money

And god wants your soul

And I want your body

The curves of betrayal

I consider being so precious

Hang up the phone

Put your credit card away

Ugly as the next block

The next stranger with a knife in their back

We have seen it all

Strolling under your window

Temptation is a lonely heart

I have shifted my center of gravity

To match your rhythm

That big spider in your room

The glass is looking through you

And I break it every time

My luck has no father

I have given you half of my devotion

The rest I donated to the Salvation Army

I penetrate your nucleus

As you wait for another bang

Dish liquid and gasoline in your soda bottle

I have stolen your eyes

Selling your this shoebox salvation

You deserve to be tied and beaten

I have spelled it out so often

Another tantrum on the floor

You kicking and scream

While I build another golden calf

You call the doorman

And deliver your commandments

Wrapping you in aluminum foil

I remember when your eyes were so green

I will never be in love with you

Not when your sisters treat me to their pie

They call me Rasputin

And dance naked in front of me

When you are off to work

It is the pills that make this all tolerable

My tongue heavy and stiff

Your eyes rotating in heaven

You speak in tongues

As I draw the lines across the mirror

Together we kill the white witch

I am addicted to your attributions

As each part is extracted

And weighed on the scale

Speak into the microphone

Tell them all how you once was a star

On Broadway and my dinner table

Ah, this seems so familiar

Perpetuating the wonderful

I am engulfed by your fantasy

There is nothing real about it

Making it happen in your own mind

I can’t just live inside your mind

There is a switch in your mind that gets turned off

And you become all thumbs and toenails

I’ve got relatives living there

This aint no American dream

Living with your cheating heart

As it hangs on the wall next to my 12 point buck

I listen to your stories

And the words go round and round

Inside and outside

Painful muscle contractions

Giving you this several years before

Unable to be determined by the doctors

Controlling your creative energies

Something you can hear any day

Changing our realities

Shape shifting forms

It has all become plastic

There are no absolutes

I try to convince you of the possibilities

But you are stuck in your philosophy

Still living in 1969

I have thrown away my inspirations

Burned the pamphlets and your psalms

Yet, you keep coming back with a vengeance
