she was born in an oil-drum south side of chicago when east st. louis was not far away she'd lace knives to her boots and go down to the riverbed skate around and around till the night became day
the cannery fellows would follow her everywhere from the grocery store to the b.q.e. with their hearts all aglow from her icy back-at-you stare when her teeth became tight when her eyes couldn't see
and she told herself that this all was enough for a girl who was born in an oil-drum she had her skates didn't need lots of stuff she didn't need it but she still wanted some
and i'm a black rainbow and i'm an ape of god i've got a face that's made for violence and porn and i'm a teen distortion survived abortion a rebel from the waist down
you say you wanted evolution the ape was a great big hit you say you want a revolution, man and i say that you're full of shit
and killing things is not so hard it's hurting that's the harder part and when the wizard gets to me i'm asking for a smaller heart
and i got you, i thought that i got you now i'll ruin it all feeling helpless, acting selfish being human at all
and they're jumping, and they’re jumping but they'll never get out just keep touring, keep ignoring be a good little trout
and the butcher stops and winds his watch and lays their lives down on the block he raises up his hatchet and the big hand strikes the compromise wait i'll trade you, wait please just one more day and then we'll go with no complaining
humanity is a deer in the headlights the road is covered in blood free yourself with a dagger from above a crossbow of faith
you sold your heart for the primal experience gave up on love for a medal malevolent you fill yourself with the fire of innocence A karmic stain will bring back through the gates again
i'm everyone - i feel used i'm everyone - i need you i'm everyone - hang your label on me i'm everyone - paint it black and white and easy i'm everyone - sticks in me i'm everyone - sticks with me i want perfection - i'm real need i've seen attention - see through me call on me - spin spin sugar crawl on me - spin spin sugar stinks on me - spin spin sugar twists for me - spin spin sugar
and i want a boyfriend i want a boyfriend i want all that stupid old shit like letters and sodas letters and sodas
i can feel it in my bones i'm gonna spend another year alone it's fuck and run, fuck and run even when i was seventeen fuck and run, fuck and run even when i was twelve
maybe i know, somewhere deep in my soul that love never lasts and we've got to find other ways to make it alone or keep a straight face
and i've always lived like this keeping a comfortable distance and up until now i had sworn to myself that i'm content with loneliness because none of it was ever worth the risk
but you are the only exception you are the only exception
you didn't see my valentine i sent it via pantomime while you were watching someone else i stared at you and cut myself that's all i'll do 'cause i'm not free a fugitive too dull to flee i'm amorous but out of reach a still life drawing of a peach
i'm a tulip in a cup i stand no chance of growing up i've made my peace, i'm dead, i'm done i watch you live to have my fun
