Tantrum #559
03:28

Senseless talking
banalities stalking
oh silent armies of the night
come out and pick a fight
don't you want to?
don't you want me?
let's tease this out
if only for a while
if only for a while
Heartwarm waiting
sexless hating
oh cringing little merry-go-around
hold on a second now
do you want room
if you want room
then let's tease this out
if only for a while
if only for a while
if only for a while
listen, stride
and steer me all night
listen, stride
steer me all night
if only for a while

Manifest Destiny
04:14
|
|||
I put some grace on the human face
and a clue
she stated over the intercom
go have a coca-cola in a 21st century's sun
that is your
manifest destiny
a scoring toss
a scoring toss
I need a break from the human taste
and a broom
to sweep up through the aether
that should've been you
should've been
should've been me
should have been we
sweeping up
sweeping up
should have been we
and we keep tuning in
we keep tuning in and tuning out
to simpleminded music, scores
printed out in weekly form
supervised and daily brought
from our own council of despair
lalalalalala lala lala
going down
keep battering at open doors
saying council of despair

Send My Regards
04:10
|
|||
I was on the run
from the blade of the law
until' I got caught and now
awaits the national razor
at Place de la Concorde
where it's ankle deep blood
and the sans culottes all sing out
allons enfants de la patrie
le jour de gloire est arrivé
contre nous de la tyrannie
l'étendard est sanglant est levé
l'étendard est sanglant est levé
I'm pretty sure
they just marked an x on my door
I'd rather flee once more
or gorge the hemlock in mere uncertainty
Lo, I shall be brief
first I have to concede
that, what is worse than death
is this heartfaint hanging in between
through my head plows
recurring thoughts of
my head conjoined in a bundle
and my sweat pours,
from the depth of my core
and that tribunal court
their pliable glares
desperate baked tones
all their faked cheers
fleeced my soul
and away I stumbled
Please send my regards
to Robespierre and the boys
to papa ol' regime
to all discarded hoards
those ceaseless talks of virtue
nature's one cure
can't say that I do
miss them terribly
the one uprightness
I ever knew
was the one I shew
my spouse every night
and you'd better
burn this letter
I'm thinking of your life
not just mine

6 mm Buzz
03:56
|
|||
Why I'm so happy
today I shaved my head
though I'm wonderin
what my friends will say about
my 6 mm buzz
well that's what you get when
you neglect to brush your teeth
yeah that's what you get for
chewing gum in your sleep
a slumped sleepless sigh
makes a fitting goodbye
goodbye
I could swear them drainpipes
were burping
aloud
-burp-
Why so tired?
today you've done nothing
save carressing
what's left upon that scalp
and brush them dry flakes
off of the lashes of thine eye
see them tumbling down,
down to the ground
and frown
oh ol' freak flag of mine
goodbye
I could swear them drainpipes
were clogging
bawling, burping
and choking and squawking
about
chewing gum in my sleep
chewing gum in your sleep

Betti Says
03:40
|
|||
Betti gave a blank face
and told the nicest war
all her soft ways set
Betti said she's just a christian
'cause her parents are
and my flesh crept
She will wear all their signs
make'em proud make my soul
Quake raised a soldier
to their contentment
Betti says that it's a waste
to try and change their frames
for as long as they
think they know how
to behave and how this world was made,
for them, keep superior safe
She will wear all their signs
make'em proud make my soul
Quake raised a soldier
to their contentment
pater noster
qui es in caelis
hallowed be thy name
thy kingdom come
thy will be done
hallowed be thy name
and give us this day
our daily bread
Jesus said

Black Twisted Taste
03:35
|
|||
Symmetrical angel
timeless mandala
singing
you got the beauty of a child
striking a pose
of meditation
sneering trombones
blow and join in
and a black twisted taste of
pornographic magic sugar
A sensual panic
guess you're the elephant
in the room
I'll be the swan of your
restless shade
and silhouette too
and the pious children
they decorate us
midsummer garlands and
all the recent fads
and how I marvel at your treats
at every spark and every beam
seductive sugar
appeasing me
Symmetrical angel
timeless mandala
carressing me
you got the fusion of a star
a steady kiss
on the cheek
Yes, how I marvel at your treats
at every spark and every beam
tucked in the edge of the milky way
a blooming bonfire has come our way

Gorilla Super Glue
03:22
|
|||
You better
wear out those worn out shoes
go take a walk
I said
I think so too
and swung my jedi-coat on
Whilst passing by home depot
I could hear
my flapping sole nod
thus I asked the clerk
got anymore
of that 5 dollar 5 cent
gorilla super glue?
a really large tube
yeah that will do
then I ensured
I ain't looking to score
But as I came to Saint-Henri
a cloud of mj hit me 'fore the autumn breeze
could ever do so
and I felt I'm levitating
I said I'm levitating and
I'm about to loose my mind
and it ain't what I heard through the grapevine
no it's not some old world blues
it's double o loose
simply solid
sustainability
I got soles of wind
semelles de vent en marchant
soles of wind
eggtossing chimps got nothing on me
quite literally
ain't what I heard through the grapevine
no it's not some mold world blues
it's double o loose
simply... solid...
wasn't lookin...
wasn't looking wasn't looking wasn't looking...
I wasn't looking to score

Love Troll
04:06
|
|||
I will never let you in
maybe debar
I am neither dense nor thick
unlike the deep end of tongues
very unlike the deep end no
I will never let you win
maybe you'd win by far
I will cry from the widest pit
from the top of my lungs
I will cry
like a bully
how dare you not agree
with me
all moist and husky?
-solo-
cry
cry
like a bully
just keep sheddin' in dissident wind
the impartial spectator speaks
in art noveau mosaique
in me
in me me me me me
Kindly never ask me to concede
a single thing
I'm not ever, no never the one
trolling for love
just keep trollin'
for love
love
love
just keep trollling
for love
the impartial spectator leaks
an art noveau mosaique
in me me me me me
an impeccable mosaique
in thee
