Alistair 02:31
Alistair, I hope you never eat your children Alistair, they'll never love you from in there And like a cancer, they'll devour you Then they'll leave you just as empty as before Alistair, I think you're ugly on the inside I swear I see you starting to decay I see you rotting while you are smiling And I just leave you to drip your poison on the floor Alistair, I want to choke you with your own cord Alistair, I want to see you crawl As your babies grow inside you Then they'll leave you lying bloodied on the floor They'll leave you writhing, lying bloodied on the floor And eat you

Jesus is my man I think I have ice for bones, we dance all night Way up when the Moon falls down, down Blisters tease the toes till dawn, the skylarks cry Ice is melting, melting deep inside The Sun is burning poor man's homes - consuming light Sailing in your smoke tonight, ight The junkie's only remedy, his sweat pours down Turning his feet and skin to water To water Bees for ice for bones Jesus is my man

Waiting for Elke to drive me to the side of the ocean Listen to Pixies cd's in the car on the way home Last day in Saint Clement Oh, last day in Saint Clement Tamir's making coffee for me - Hazelnut and Cinnamon While girls drink their tea and speak in their english accents Candice Christiansen and the dusty guitar Wants you to remember Love is real Everybody is in love with each other Phone call from Luci to see if I'd like some sticky rice

Pulling all the houses down to make some room Building a paper town with paper people too You can draw on the walls and nobody minds Don't light a fire now if you don't want to die And water is only dangerous if you cry Ahhhh! Tying all the houses down and filling them with weight Keep away from bacon! Paper planes flying into paper buildings Paper people don't get hurt - they don't have any feelings! Ahhhh!

Girl is bleeding in her bathtub, She is bored of reading. Brother is sleeping in the next room, He is dreaming. He is waking and walking to her, She is screaming… Get out Joe! Time is healing all his scratches Lost the battle She is dreaming, sleeping silent. He is crying Get out Joe.

Girl is bleeding in her bathtub, She is bored of reading. Brother is sleeping in the next room, He is dreaming. He is waking and walking to her, She is screaming… Get out Joe! Time is healing all his scratches Lost the battle, lost the war She is dreaming, sleeping silent. He is crying. Why did I listen? Get out Joe.

Seagulls 04:28
Does the sun weep for the people when he cannot warm them? Cracks found in the wall of evening fill his mind A frame found hanging in a bedroom, empty like the people The pictures in my mind are dying I must leave my empty shell behind Diving into the blue of the red behind my eyes I've been thinking of you and the seagulls in the sky Fly like Jon, be everlasting Don't live on the seashore My body would swim oceans for you for a taste of what could've been Empty shells found lined up on the floor, hollow from life that left them behind 'Cause all the birds in the sky are thinking of other things - like to see at what speed they could fly Take the old to teach the young how to die Diving into the blue of the red behind my eyes I've been thinking of you and the seagulls in the sky

Jabberwocky 03:27
`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe. "Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!" He took his vorpal sword in hand: Long time the manxome foe he sought -- So rested he by the Tumtum tree, And stood awhile in thought. And, as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came! One, two! One, two! And through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back. "And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' He chortled in his joy. `Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe.

Alison Rose 03:06
Girl with her hands on her heads looks both ways as she crossed the street Alison Rose is found dead with her four eyes Alison Rose, Alison Rose, the two-headed beast Alison Rose is found dead in the streets I placed her bloodied head upon my t-shirt And held her broken hand upon my heart I told her that I’d never, never leave her I told her that we’d never, never part Alison Rose Alison Rose is found dead It’s ok, it’s alright, she calls, she’s breathing again! I see her eyes roll, she’s breathing again! And her heads start to move And her legs start to twitch And her hair starts to move And her hands start to reach I kiss both her hands She’s come back to me! She is the one. She’s come back to me! Alison Rose, Alison Rose

Isabel 01:56
Angels falling from the sun, feathers raining upon my head, Covering the rocks and stones so they land gently, Memories turn to clouds. Shining down upon my face your light is warming me inside See the night is drawing in, I have your skin to cover me This is not about god Isabel Angel falling from the sky rises up with no memory Doesn’t even realise the beauty she’s holding. Clouds in the night-time

about

"It's kind of like, what if Iggy Pop actually became David Bowie and fronted a less trite, less pretentious later Led Zeppelin and made them do all of his drugs." - Allen Christian
"Genius! Almost on a musical par with the discovery of fire or the wheel. This music will surely help you to get born!" - Ian P. Clifford
