Perfect Tan (Bikini Atoll)
Susie – every alchemical fuck’s a Massacio exchange
sex for desire
desire for obscenity
and ultimately desire for pain
and I love you
and I hate you
I remember the time
that I mind raped you
never say repression
unless you’re ready to mean it, baby
candy cane sunrise refracted in your eyes
candy cane sunrise refracted in your eyes
through the valley of death with sea air
flowers on your breath
and in your hair
Somebody’s sugar daddy
(hand in hand with a perfect tan)

Somebody’s sugar daddy
(hand in hand a perfect tan)
You know you get so alone
where the hell is that promise
where the hell is my world
you know you get so alone
like snakes detecting infrared
exuded by some juicy prey
slip the girl a little dust
it makes ’em more receptive
feel the serpent twisting up the spine

Butterfly Wings
You can’t place faith in material things
material things will fail you
a hurricane triggered by a butterfly’s wings
your conspirators betray you
Don’t place faith in human beings
human beings are unreliable things
don’t place faith in human beings
human beings or butterfly’s wings
You can’t place faith in a new regime
that fascist faith will kill you
a hurricane triggered by a butterfly’s wings
your conspirators betray you
don’t place faith in human beings
human beings are unreliable things
don’t place faith in human beings
human beings or butterfly wings
there’s something burning
deep inside I know
there’s something
inside this hole
(tonight when i chase the dragon –
By their fruits you shall know them)
Don’t place faith
Don’t place faith
When I decide to live in the mind
the heart dies
mother superior in the sky
the heart dies
the heart dies
Don’t place faith in human beings
human beings are unreliable things
don’t place faith in human beings
human beings or butterfly wings
Lilith/Eve
I’m talking darkest night
a shoddy simulation
of paradise in leopard tights
there’s a sinking fascination
with the neon light
and inside inside it’s war all the time
with the budding blonde hookers
and their decadent art
desire’s a violent jackhammer of the heart
when the world descends into helter skelter
and the girls crawl in for shelter
Lilith/Eve I’m looking for something
come together over me
I don’t know what I want
a wife or a lover
I’m looking for something in between
I’m talking blood on grass
an overwrought suburbanite heart attack
and paint it all black
because the end is accelerating back to the beginning
and everybody’s falling in line
with the balding blind hustlers in their heroin hovels
giving dollar sucks inside continentals
with the radios blaring out helter skelter
and the creatures crawl in for shelter
Lilith/Eve I’m looking for something
come together over me
I don’t know what i want
a knife or a lover
come together over me
Albert Speer
We have faced despair
and found a river there
we have faced despair
and found a river there
we have sucked the fruit of disease
and found that it tasted sweet
like meat gone bad
sleep warmly under columns of light
sleep warmly under columns of light
sleep warmly under columns of light
sleep with the fishes tonight
all alone in this recluse car
became afraid of what we are
and what we might not be
in the land of the free
land of the free
land of the free
land of the free
land of the free
smell the ripe overripe budding America
a sweetfaced straightlaced pornographic actress
that’s her draw –
no one can believe she’d appear in this smut
her face smiling perfect through innocent teeth
unaware of the debauchery beneath
smiling innocent through perfect teeth
unaware of the wolves running
wild in her streets
in the land of the free
land of the free
land of the free
land of the free
get em up get em
down on their knees
all praise to Allah
who provides what we need
a Swiss precision suicide machine
Jesus Christ
Soul on Ice
sleep with the mother fuckin
fishes tonight
Limiter
As sure as prisons are the models for the city
I let my mind and my body imprison me
and now a Versaille has risen up inside
and i live in fear of the glide
in fear of the glide
and if the doors of perception were finally cleansed
I could see your face again
and my love for the world would be wild and pure
if not for this goddamn limiter
I pushed my limits to the sickening heights
and I can feel my heartbeat pounding on the back of my eyes
the drip of the faucet
and the warmth of your thighs
and the limiter –
still blinded by the candlelight
the rubies and the pearls of the lovesick eye
the martyr’s moans and the lover’s sighs
your legs so sheer in the UV light
and the limiter –
still blinded by the candlelight
as sure as prisons are the models for the city
I nurture my need for oil and electricity
the bigger the need gets the more that
the people want a piece of it
and if the doors of perception were finally cleansed
I could take my place again
and my love for the world would be wild and pure
if not for this goddamn limiter
I pushed my limits to the sickening heights
and I can feel my heartbeat pounding on the back of my eyes
the drip of the faucet
and the warmth of your thighs
and the limiter –
still blinded by the candlelight
the rubies and the pearls of the lovesick eye
the martyr’s moans and the lover’s sighs
your legs so sheer in the UV light
and the limiter –
still blinded by the candlelight
Delight –
I could see you there
and Delight –
I want to see you in me everywhere
as sure as prisons are the models for the cities
I let my mind and my body imprison me
I pushed my limits to the sickening heights
and I can feel my heartbeat’s pressure on the back of my eyes
the drip of the faucet
and the warmth of your thighs
and the limiter –
still blinded by the candlelight
If I should Explode (Into Gasping Mary)
Coffee cup
Mabou Mines
shooting up the power lines
I don’t know what’s on my mind
dreaming of a simpler time
and if I should explode into gasping Mary
please take me home to where the cross is rose
coffee cup
an open mind
the weathermen are flying blind
you seem to me the bleeding kind
just dreaming of a simpler time
if I should explode into gasping Mary
please take me home to where the cross is rose
Shake
Shake like the newborn sleep
shake like the fire in me
I lost my mind
shake on a handshake deal
sit back and watch them steal
I lost my mind
automatically triggered in times of danger
the newborn serpent speaks
lost my lost my mind
Shake ’em down to where the fire of hell surrounds
and we’ve destroyed the underground
because we’re trying to find that sound
Shake like the junkie sleeps
shake like the fire in me
I lost my mind
I got me a handshake deal
I bend down and I learn to kneel
I lost my mind
Shake em down to where the fire surrounds
and we’ve destroyed the underground
because we’re looking to find that sound
America in overdrive
America O.D.
America never fucking meant that much to me
with its handshake massacre of porn queen dreams
meet the man that feeds the fire that fuels the salt machine
Cheap
A skirt here is cheaper
than anywhere on the planet
cheaper than in Liberia
where you gotta pay to get the blood out
Cheap –
together in real time
my television and my subconscious mind
this is the third world –
make it cheap and ugly
make it dirty, make it rust
then hit ’em when they’re ready
send me spinning into acts
that look like sex
smell like sex
feel like sex
more real than sex
more real than love
its what you say by what you buy into
its what you say by what you buy into
its what you say by what you buy into
that obsesses me
that turns me on
that makes me cheap
that fills me up
Cheap –
vibrations in my jaw
the attention span of a pop song
freak-show full of freak-show cunning
the worst crimes
involve love or money
the worst crimes
involve love or money
love or money
that’s why I’m cheap –
killed in my sleep
its what you say by what you buy into
its what you say by what you buy into
its what you say by what you buy into
that interests me
that turns me on
that makes me cheap
that fills me up
Spectral influence of girls over tides
its in the way that you use your eyes
its in the way that your eyes talk to me
its what you say by what you buy into, baby
its what you say by what you buy
that obsesses me
Acceleration
When I feel like i’m about out of hell
I feel my cage is shrinking
I can see the light from a prison cell
I can feel the world weeping
understand me
understand me
Release – Acceleration
when I feel like I’m about out of hell
I can feel my cage shrinking
I see the light in the cancer cell
I can feel the world weeping
understand me
understand me
White light inside of me
acceleration all around
till it don’t seem
like I’m moving at all
till it don’t seem
like I’m moving at all
got caught raping an angel
got caught stealing
fire from the sky
got caught raping an angel
caught, released and I cry
Release – Acceleration
Into the arm
the feelings are
into the arm
the feelings are
down
Ancestor Cult
Let’s take an ambulance ride
to the place where
amnesia fills our eyes
suck in that summer sister
the blood was like a river flowing
the earring dangles from the point of entry
to the wicked root of thickening gravity
and I am connected to the people ahead of me
by a tangled web of blood and entropy
and I am a child of the twentieth century
and I recall that the others ahead of me
filled their eyes
they filled their eyes
they filled their eyes
Suck in that stomach sister
the fruit within your loins expanding
a strange locked code
the overflow of our occidental ancestral home
Content?
My life is so complete
everything is straightened out
I feel the hand of god
I feel no sense of doubt
My life is so complete
everything is straightened out
I feel the hand of god
I feel no sense of doubt
but there’s something about
the straightened arrow
there’s something about
there’s something about
there’s something about
this is the big fear
get off the cross, dear
we need the wood
we need the wood
deep in your twisted mind
you’re saving all mankind
we need the wood
something about
something about
Jessica, a snatch of ultraviolet
a day in somewhere riding horses
made of rust and sunset
Jessica ultraviolet
a day in somewhere riding horses made of sunset
Trigger for Happiness
Enough searching to know
that we’ve lost ourselves
in our slot machines, shotguns, and stripmalls
baby your technology
so slick and functional
and me without my nuclear arsenal
And if I could kill without guilt or sin
there’d soon be a few less record executives
and if I could kill and recieve forgiveness
there’d sure as hell be one less president
there’s got to be a pill for forgiveness
there’s got to be a trigger for happiness
Automatic sensory remote control
weather sattelites manipulate your soul
efficiently without a modicum of grace
I want to go out with a smile on my face
