I was drunk
the day my Mom
got outta prison.
And I went
to pick her up
in the rain.
But, before I
could get to the station
in my pickup truck
She got runned over
by a damned old train.
-- David Allen Coe |
Oohh, she makes me weary...

I saw teenage girls like gaudy moths a classroom's shabby butterflies
Flirt in the glow of stranded telephone boxes
Planning white lace weddings from smeared hearts
And token proclamations, rolled from stolen lipsticks
Across the razored webs of glass
Sharing cigarettes with experience with her giggling
Jealous confidantes, she faithfully traces his name
With quick bitten fingers
Through the tears of condensation that'll cry through the night
As the glancing headlights of the last bus kiss adolescence goodbye

It doesn't mean that much to me to mean that much to you. Neil Young. |
won't it be dull,
when we rid ourselves
of all these demons
haunting us,
to keep us company.

when we're happy
like we always thought
we're suppose to feel,
but never seem to be.

death and decay cadaverous smell
for us there is neither heaven nor is there a hell
and only the stigmata could be able to betray the sombre existence of the former days
after the dead lovers kiss, you fall into a dream,
and with your second birth, your a prince in our mournful realm
a day when a million suns are killing with their shine
the cold dark crypts are saving me and myne. me and myne. me and myne

Well, John the Baptist after torturing a thief
Looks up at his hero the Commander-in-Chief
Saying, "Tell me great hero, but please make it brief
Is there a hole for me to get sick in ?"

Saying, "Death to all those who would whimper and cry"
And dropping a bar bell he points to the sky
Saying, "The sun's not yellow it's chicken."

First time I shot her I shot her in the side Hard to watch her suffer But with the second shot she died Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone |
