Only When I Laugh

She waved the red flag. Someone charged -- head down. They had to cut me from the wire -- shrouded -- red rosettes. She stood there laughing as they tied me to the bed, and sped me off to casuality ward 33. No coffee, no cigarettes, no cozy chats with white coat zombies mumbling through the masks of poking plastic tubes. They sewed my mouth together. I couldn't move, but still I whistle in the dark, and you come running, laughing, armed with red carnations, fleshy grapes that you can wave before my face and eat so slowly. Oh, you always had good taste, and now you're wearing yellow. That's my favorite. Touch my hair, and listen hard because I'll purr. That's how I show affection now, you know. Love hurts, but I'd do anything for you. Anything for you. Anything. And Everything.


La Cazza Nova

On the streets again, we're [???] again, we could grow, and when the sun goes down, people meet again, never meet again, take our chances in another town. No, we never change, never come of age; guess that's just the way the world goes 'round. [repeats last line until the end]

Forever, forever, forever.


Premonition 11

We checked out where the market square once stood. My god, there's just a hole. It's choking wreck to wreck, truck to truck, the bumpers bumping, sirens scream, but mothing seems to move, the collar's open, sweat jets running down the windows, elbows pressed upon the horns. No one's going anywhere at all.(x2) It's not a place for me and my canary Paul. Please me, pretty, pretty please me.[repeat last line until the end]
