Teeth

Peeling oranges
Disguising bad habits
Then I’d toss the sweet flesh
Sacrificed to blanket tar on fingertips
Breaking my neck to drink straight from the faucet
I got my shirt soaking wet
And I’m hot in the face in public
You wouldn’t come to my defence
Look at your hands stained dark
Say it’s juice from the berries
But my bellies been the colour of a late summer cherry between teeth
Put me to bed with a story from behind your eyelids
I thought you were psychic
But I could be convinced that this t-shirt’s clairvoyant
Fresh and permanent bleeding in the cab of the truck
Led to a total disaster
The kind of mess you throw out and try not to think about
We wouldn’t talk about any of it now
Look at your hands stained dark
Say it’s juice from the berries
But my bellies been the colour of a late summer cherry between teeth
Smile for me and show me how you’ve been eating
Had a dream you looked the same but your heartbeat was different
And a grifter knows a grifter in an instant

Pressing Down

High in the supermarket
Pressing down my fingers in the fruit
Is that erotic to you?
You want to talk filthy
But I’m still fully clothed
And I need to put away the meat and milk I stole
Right when you want me I’m scheduled to turn on the TV
This year I got so obsessed with monotonous atrocity
But the ice looks like glass islands on what we would call the sea
I’m sitting in silence
You’re always moving in my memory
I’m insolent but building
It’s whatever happens next
I can hear the dog whimper but I’m distracted
By something that you sai
And I don’t think I can
Prove it to you
That I can be cool now
With everything we talked about
I know what you’re looking about
Walkabout on the town
If I could be cool now
With everything we talked about
I wouldn’t be letting you out
I could be cool about
Prove it to you
That I can be cool now
With everything we talked about
Let you down and I let you out
Couldn’t be calm about
If I could just chill out
With everything we talked about
I know what you’re talking about
If I could just let you out

All Dogs Go To Heaven
02:47
|
|||
|
Faking conversation
To try to get you off of the phone
I guess I’ll never really know
But I choose to believe
That all dogs go to heaven
Prove to me that you respect me
And watch my favourite made-for-TV movie
Maybe then if you impress me
I’ll let you touch my pussy
Tell me I’m so special and you lure me to your shower
Could drown me if you want to
Cut my hair in honour
And then you can have me moored and constantly
When I ask for your forgiveness
You respond with the distance in time between us
300 minutes and all you got was this lousy t-shirt
Tell me I’m so special and you lure me to your shower
Could kill me if you wanted
I could grow your garden
And fulfill your final fantasy

I Never Will Marry
03:01

One morning as I rambled all down the seashore
The wind it did whistle and the waters did roar
I heard a fair damsel make a pitiful sound
It sounded so lonesome in the waters around
I never will marry or be no man's wife
I expect to live single all the days of my life
The shells in the ocean shall be my deathbed
The fish in deep water swim over my head
