GOOD PEOPLE WITH BAD CREDIT
baby, i don't know what to do
don't know if i'm going crazy
i'm going crazy crazy crazy
new day dawning like a haunting
growing habit we have had it
just forget it with bad credit
i'm going crazy
END BADLY
aim me so high
whiskey bottle oh baby
mess my mind make more of me
come on babe let's end badly
aim me to points of light
doesn't matter what may be
artificial family tree
come on babe let's end badly
in a room no one can get to me
in a room where i can be a fucking drag
HOSPITAL
(from christian greeting card found at bus stop on
state & division): dear god/ be good to me/ the sea is
so wide & my boat is so small
go to the hospital
get me a doctor quick
go to the hospital
tell them i'm feeling sick
go to the hospital
get me a specialist
go to the hospital
i can't take much more of this
save me save me save me

LISHA KILL
radio thru the night
newscaster billboard light
radio lisha kill
up all night sitting still
a duck pond for a fruitcake
nothing much could be a stake
it's been so long lisha kill
quiet nights wasted will
it's been so long
9 AM i fall asleep
you don't know my secrets my duckpond life
(la la la la la la la la)
3 PM i'm waking up
6 AM the sun comes up
come by anytime
radio 2 AM
hypnotize, sudden end
radio all night long
every night right or wrong
a duckpond for a fruitcake
wine & dine wake & bake
been so long lisha kill
quiet nights wasted will
it's been so long
radio! radio!
BEAK
is it for me or is it for you
i'm in it for me you're in it for you

OLD WORDS
& at the moment it breaks off into a different section
is when the novel goes into the part that didn't work
going over all the world he tried to write a novel &
failed
old man what're you running around here for?
WINDOW SEAT
if you want a window seat
with a golden view, that's cool
i hope you get a good close
look at the truth, i do
future showers topple
hazy hours we knew
never bother father when
he's had enough of you
look up your own words
in yr own dictionaries
FREE KITTENS
i thought of religion
but when death's head came into view
i thought about you
i thought of the convictions
that reality overthrew
i thought about you
on the nights lit by the sun
we'll just ride like there's no such thing as time
i thought about heaven
i thought of the devil too
i thought about you
i thought of the present
as my future fades from view
i thought about you
ALARM CLOCK SONG
lite jazz oozing from the ceiling
incandescent locking hands he watches her
he is asking way too many preliminaries to be
safe or to be her friend
as they leave the timer on the grease pit beeps
little red beeps
cancer cancer cancer i know i've got cancer
i really don't think i'll be ok
cancer cancer cancer you know i've got cancer
& if i don't i'm scared anyway
as they leave the timer on the grease pit beeps
little red beeps
MERMAID
oh my mermaid you know i got a lot of things to do
but i'll save them all for when you go away
cinema anon a convent home
cinema anon when we're alone
cinema anon i watch you walk in eastern evening
washaway
cinema anon i'm bitter too
but i could be so good to you
cinema anon this thing is through & what it meant i
couldn't say
oh my mermaid, stay right there in my mind's eye
cinema anon is based on fact
another dull one-sided pact
cinema anon to die trying
will only serve to separate
cinema anon there's more to see
but you will never know of me
cinema anon the panic button's
warm with thoughts of jealousy
oh my mermaid, stay right there in my mind's eye
i quit i quit
pretentious bullshit
mired in darkness
wired fortress
darling of my mind
SLOW TORPEDO
hey, i am just a slow torpedo
you're an atom bomb
i could never hope to catch you
i'm swimming along
there's a million miles on a road
there's a billion roads with a line
there's a trillion lines on a highway
let's make a getaway
TOPPY
this is a morning prayer
this is a soul
this is the one time that i'm not in control
this is a morning prayer
this is an ode
this is the one time that the cup overflowed
you'd better get away from me
rain go rain go rain go away toppy
this is a morning prayer
this is a soul
this is an announcement that i'm not in control
you'd better get away from me
rain go rain go rain go away toppy
