Every Time I Die

[! M@ro@mD !]

Gutter Phenomenon

 

Kill The Music

 

Stutter step to the beat of a disparaged lover

Dumb and pulsing we've become

The bedroom door is an old black lung

It's arrhythmic

Uninviting and pliable

With the noble irreverence of shrapnel she came for us

Bore into our head and found thoughlessness

Never minded the faithless courage of shame or the bravery of oblivion, I'm on her mind and I'm never coming back

If two timing is what it takes then we both know one take is all we need

We're not equipped to stay unloved

But it's all we've got and we're not at all alright

Come on baby and give me the creeps

Either you or I or both must go

Either you or I or both must go

I'm on her mind and I'm never coming back

If two timing is what it takes then we both know one take is all we need

We're not equipped to stay unloved

But it's all we've got and we're not at all alright

There's no difference between being holy and alone

That's why I'm eagerly fleeing the scene

Lead footed

Baby return the favor and leave somebody you love

If they come back they're drunk and they're lonely

We all get lonely

God forbid we indulge when at sea

Just the tempest, the temptress and me

Naturally bored thriller

Nobody knows the trouble I've been or the exacting improvement of sin

I'm handing myself over

I'm turning myself in

War has no glory like a woman ignored

So here's to the empires polluted with dead

And the truckers wives who erected them

I know the stripper's real name

Stop me if I'm wrong

Apocalypse Now And Then

 

You got me right where you wanted me

So what do we do if I can't hold this pose for too long?

Do we shoot again, or does the whole operation shut down and we go back to the board?

I practiced all my lines, oh yea I'd feed every child in the world

But it's a one night stand baby

We gotta keep on

If you got it all then you got it right

I'm gonna do what you say and get way out of line

Nobody's gonna stop me now

It's not how it looks unless you saw nothing

We all agree this proposal's been sentenced to death

Are we baiting the right hook to catch your attention?

The media needs another blackout

We've been calling

Flooding hotlines

We've applied mascara to the radio but that's just a quick fix and we need a little more

Does it matter to you at all?

Are you listening or have you tuned out?

We've gotta get it together

But first we drink and we take it all apart

Everywhere we go we're the local boys and we're back in town

Well that's the way it is

It breaks my heart

We've applied mascara to the radio, but that's just a quick fix and we need a little more

Does it matter to you at all?

Are you listening or have you tuned out?

Get by

Get gone

Get high

Get wronged

Bored Stiff

 

I was wrong, close one

I am wrong

I said it

I was wrong, I mean it

Did it stick? Come down from there

I know it's hard to swallow, when your head is overturned

Hey there girls, I'm a

There was venom in the heart of the dagger

They found a worm in your pearls saying prayers

All is finally infested, unless we blossomed in the in the cankerous air

Then only hell can help us

I got off, just once, you were right

I admit it

We weren't soft, just better

Do you flinch? Keep that radio dry, I'm sorry you were all mine

Let the boys find your body

Let love gnaw the meat from your bones

Admit the arrows, suffer the hot flash

We come together now

All together now

[! M@ro@mD !]

Easy Tiger

 

How you gonna get up if you ain't never been down?

How you gonna move on if you ain't never had enough?

Give the signal

Advance the pill pushers

Administer a change purse full of thorazine

Show this girl a little bar courtesy and keep her senses clear of the scene

We've found a gentleman caller who goes by the name she's been weeping for

Turn her over

Easy in easy out

We've nearly got this situation stabilized

Just some winces to eradicate

Take a deep breath

Cut the blue wire

Keep your fingers crossed and pray she's been detached

She stirs and I'm emasculated

Doctor! Doctor!

Give her the blues

She got herself a varsity letter by loving you

Breach and clear the abandoned back seat of the Cadillac

We've been altered by the local authorities that regret has been seen on the grounds teasing the dogs, making the rounds

There's a heart shaped bed in the honeymoon ward that circulates dust

Twitches and vomits in fits like the damned

Comforts none but the sloth

Yet we pay by the hour for the bricklayers view

Johnny, dream of your gun

Goddamit it Commander, she's a hopeless case

Note the time she arrived

I didn't think we would lose another one to the sound

There were too many fangs for us to tame

Someone fetch her blue eyes

From a restroom wall downtown

She stirs

We underestimated

Doctor! Doctor!

Give me the news

She caught herself a cause of the wilds by loving you

She caught a bad case of the wilds and she flatlines

[! M@ro@mD !]

The New Black

 

Baby, you got me all wrong

And maybe I am not at all down and out

I'm high and I'm in

Don't you know who I am?

I'm the jaded one with pop insensitivity

When I finish struggling, we can make our way to the dance floor and stand like strangers in an elevator stuck between stories

I always find myself in the middle of your stories

With the cameras as a witness I will suffer

Everything I do is wrong

But by God I do it right

We don't dance no no no

We got class

No we don't have any fun at all

It's the new style and we know it

We're not stunning, we just stunned and we're lying for a living

Don't you know who I am?

I'm the real thing with the low-key sensibilities

I don't need what I've got half as much as everyone covets it

If loving me is wrong, then god you do it right

It turns us on to turn you down

[! M@ro@mD !]

Tusk And Temper

 

Bedeck your gown in bricks

There's leeches stealing across the stage

Come hell or ocean water I won't end up without

Applaud the gall of the black cloud groping a drunken teenage vow

As saline drips from her prom dress, damp hands are desiccated

There's a wolf at the window of the second floor who kidnaps your date with a new car

We both want the same thing

Bad poetry and assaults at the bar

Just try and stop me

We are the only one in the world

Prepare the ballroom

Quicksand in front of the coat check

Waltz with the scarecrow in the spotlight through the rye

I was born a wanted man

But I'll die a sailor's wife

God help me pick the lock to her room I have to make this right

Scream the hounds to sleep for me

I'm creeping around in your head like a vine

Your spit is the meat of the rose harvested by the dull

Let fly the doves, unhook their leather wings from the fog

Put your foot and mouth together for the sweethearts of Vietnam

In a photo taken of us, at the recpetion held at the jail

Loverboy is breaking up just off to the right side of me

I will stop at nothing

I am the siren that sings you home

Is that clear?

I will stop at nothing

I am the tooth in your jewelery box

Is that clear?

Let pry the crows

Unhinge their crooked beaks from the clock

Put your foot and mouth together for the sweethearts of Vietnam

Bolt the gate and head for ivory tower

Adoration is cutting the phone lines to your heart

Love is here

I am the snarling and starry-eyed

We both want the same thing

Better aim at the stranger in our yard

Just try to stop me

I am the blinding light of your life

Prepare the body

I've been better but thanks for asking

Wait with the scarecrow for the spotlight in the rye

I'll eat you alive

The calm will come again

[! M@ro@mD !]

Champing At The Bit

 

We drew a crowd

The crowd drew the blood

Fawning swindlers

There's a shark in the stream where the newborns are baptized

Who let the flatterer into the gallery on our sweet sixteen? Take him away

Get him against the wall for the witnesses

This is doom in a borrowed suit

It's a pickup line at a funeral

Cannibals along side the catwalk

But it's ok we're got old blood and our veins are rooted to the hornets nest again

New love is tasteless

We're wearing down

This is the year of the party crasher

What is charm? Where are the heroics?

What is harm to the perfumed wrists of the stoics?

Designer impostors find us twitching in the claws of the snake

A fin is circling around the floor

It appears we've lost our way

The tide is swelling and we've fallen asleep on the shore

Get inside

Someone's yelling fire in the theater

Oh dear god. Everybody stay calm

Tell your husband that his screaming just invited it in

The horsemen are crashing through the gates

We had better learn to play dead

Our hands are reeking of rapture

It's dripping from our chin

The tragedy of infant hearts

But it's ok we've got old blood and our hair is woven to the same hotel again

We're wearing down

This is the year of the party crasher

It's you and me for the first time in history

We're history

[! M@ro@mD !]

Gloom And How It Gets That Way

 

Pull the car over you're frightening the kids

What did you promise us about grinning in the rear view mirror without your fake teeth in?

Keep your glass eye glued on the end of the highway up ahead of us

The collision is always licking it's lips

You weren't supposed to open the door

Just keep the plane from drifting off course

We'll attend to the terrified first class convinced there's a hoof print on the bow

All hail the wounded heart contingent who've given us something more than faultlessness to sing about

Long live prosthetic live wires

The faulty mechanism of hope has disintegrated

Your captain nailed his feet to someone else's ship at the sight of me

Do what your mother tells you and put down the sheriff's horse

The choir on the black box rejoiced splendidly, singing hallelujah the king is dead

The king is dead

[! M@ro@mD !]

Guitared and Feathered

 

This is a cause for celebration here in the belly of the swarm

The situation demands that we raise our glasses in honor of the spokesman we've fixated to the floor

Give us your headlines, hymns, and your saddest verse. You're not partnered with the half hearted anymore

Our legs are spread wide open

Our weary heads are splitting at the seams and we all know your proficient in the idioms of grief

We are capable of the kind of love about which only the petrified can speak

Concede him the microphone let him sing the triumphs of the frauds to all his loyal sycofanatics

We all cater to the fire once the walls come rushing down for shame

I can say it better than you felt it

And I can be it bigger than you needed it

I haven't spent a day of my life apart from the one everyone's read about

I'll spark de-evolution

I was specially bred for the cover page of your magazines

I've been fattened up for the guillotines

Sweet talker, you're right I'm a blessed lamb

I can show you how to have a good time

I know why you came here, but neither of us will get what you want out of me

This room has one too many laureates so I'm keeping my peace

Every candidate ends his life with a cliche, and the paths of glory lead to nowhere but the grave

I've been spoiled rotten

Every thought I've authored has curdled

Not everything is poetry but I can't convince you of that

I've been drawn and quartered

I've been twice picked over

And it's sickening what you've come here today to celebrate

yea we're gonna party tonight

I am capable of the kind of love about which only the intoxicated and the California bound can weep

[! M@ro@mD !]

L'Astronaut

 

Drifting on refuse paraded through the town square

Waving to the families of victims of the flood

Straddling the front door of a Catholic orphanage

I decorated it myself

Thank you, you're too much

Honestly

It was nothing

We should all just thank god I'm alive

Don't shout I get a little confused sometimes

I can't make out a word you're saying

I've got a 21 gun salute playing over and over and over in my head

Can't it wait? I'm on call to be somewhere

Somewhere I'm not

In case the cleaning lady has found my head

Forgive my delay lieutenant, I'm the man the whole county requires

Take your gun out of my mouth

You are ruining my appetite

Get your bear trap off of my neck

I'm already running late

Your distress is confounding the tightrope walker

Just so we're clear, you're saying we're all lost?

Maybe I'm wrong but weren't we just dancing?

Oh, the way we moved had every marauder curious

Sniffing at the trash in our shoes

Sharpening knives on the grindstone watch gears

I don't miss that much about anything you said

After all, we've never met

I'll get it right, and stick my tongue down the throat of the moon

[! M@ro@mD !]

Pretty Dirty

 

The great American mischief has muted our hearts and our rhythms are met with the inharmonious grunts of electric guitars

It's all but too much

Nobody out there believes the obscene are reprieved

Everybody get fed up

My baby better get high, I've got something I need to confess

The dead men talking are longing for so much more than simply the obvious. Cut us off. We're suffering, hysterical, lighting flares from the foot of her bed. I've been begging you for less mercy than this. But the only thing you need to know is that you never wanted to know. Take it off, take it back, or take cover because we're nearing a nerve. Dead is wasted on the patient so make haste and head for the wake. Now the hornets inhabit the hearts we've abandoned. We are gone. Cast aside our clothes like funeral roses, and dance straight through the psalm. I'm dead in the water. Don't come for me. I was once alive in the deserts eyes on the day it wed the sea. I drew a chalk outline around your city. Hushed the sobs in your halls. But we both know it's killer, baby he'll outrun them all. There is so much shame in how little we've gained for so long. Now the sky is falling. And you're just repeating every word I say. You are not listening close enough. It's a catastrophe. You have not been concentrating. Pay attention there will be an exam

Build an ark

Come bring us back to the ruin

Drifting out of our heads

Taped off the sky above your city

Dusted for prints on the chapel wall

But we all know that it's killer, baby I will outrun them all
