Microscopic Notion
04:28
|
|||
When you graph the timeline of deception, you go
Through the front, around the back.
When you feel the sharp sting and constriction,
you scale over walls, covert attack.
Savage love and
some great reward
burn all your notes to ash.
As you hope for evermore and always, you know
you'd be grand yet all undone.
As you forge your pacts with dark crusaders, you weave
lies and truth until they're one.
Speck of nothing,
glinting rubble,
fate you can not outrun.
Pull into Comfort Harbor where the grey mist conceals her
Wrap yourself in faint hope holding a microscopic notion.
Come choose your own adventure where your eyes might mislead you,
reluctantly admitting "I have an addiction.”
She says if you drag your past
with you into present tense,
she says all you’re set to do is
doom your future.
After you have pulled back veils that glimmer, you meet
desperate disconnection.
After you have wept silent hot teardrops, you sit
through feelings with reflection.
Indignant and
deranged victim
of moral attrition.
Pull into Comfort Harbor where the grey mist conceals her.
Wrap yourself in faint hope holding a microscopic notion.
Come choose your own adventure where your eyes might mislead you,
reluctantly admitting "I have an addiction.”

Counting cards, playing with
Conceits of pure veracity darling darling
Peeling layers, getting to the heart of the stink my darling darling
So can I make bold faced lies
Peeling layers, getting to the heart of the stink my darling darling
I am factual as fuck
you better sit down
and hold on hold on
I am factual as fuck
you better sit down
and hold on hold on
Stealing time, spinning myriad berry-stained plates darling darling
Covering tracks well but you missed a bedside earring darling darling
So can I make bold faced lies
Peeling layers, getting to heart of the stink my darling darling
Grab this hot mess and own it

LYRICS:
There’s a fire when you kiss me
Space between my feet and earth when you kiss me
Hold fast shadows
Blood red moon eclipse the sky
Can we sit and just be quiet?
Not fill the space with sound
Can we sit and share the air?
So tell me why’d you come
when we both agreed that
Nothing good can come of this?
So tell me why am I staying
when it’s time to go?
Hey dynamite, is it over?
I've got a mind to light a match, is it over?
Fuse burns shorter
4-3-2-1
And I keep thinking that just one more round will be good enough
But you break me when I let you
One more chance to say hello needs to be our chance to say no more
You’re making sure it takes forever to forget you
There’s a fire when you kiss me
Brilliant bolt of lightning
So tell me why’d you come?
It’s time to go

Why you gotta be so skittish?
Jumping right out of your skin
Shivering and fearful, fearsome
And when I gotta do you in,
Will you say there's a way to have it all?
Something's tied so tight, nothing's breaking free
Ripping asunder with a boomerang
held out with soft hand, repaired and whole
Ain't it unoriginal?
Like skin and like skin
Ain't it grand?
I think she'll know, but it's new
I think she'll know, new artificial intelligence
Gotta get it all out, get it gone and out
Split and packed up miracles
Retracing faint footsteps
Through the Pliocene with artful artifacts
Thinking into right action
Abrogate the patient end
Depoliticized on the fringe, polyvocalize
Fusing, caught together in a memory
slipped on the shoreline, washed all away
Ain't it unoriginal?
Like skin on like skin
Ain't it grand?
I think she'll know, but it's new
I think she'll know, new artificial intelligence

Would you like a stab in the eye or play a motherf*$#@^!g F chord?
I don't want to alarm you, but you may just be made for this.
Cucurucucu.
Tew tew.
Follow me into the illusions.

Your Private Charms
03:14
|
|||
My eyes are stinging, here's the train
Third rail buzzing, motion ceasing
Speak selectively, give words wings
Sway'st gently, tumble easy
Secret knots entwine, firmly bind
Disentangle, breathless strangle
Apprehensive, the trembling strings
Whispers boldest, wishes wildest
Who was I before you?
Who can I be now that I see you?
Who was I before you?
Who can I be now that I know you so well?
Oh, to delight in your private charms!
A burning hidden sun
Glowing for me
Evermore await the horizon's slip
Nigh induration, emboldened
Fated unknown, wildflower seeds sewn
Cross the crowded room, murmur soft
Stunned and weak-kneed, melt completely
Forever alights, here with you
Finite wonder, muffled thunder
Two mere occasions, day and night
Fleeting magic, distant tragic
Who was I before you?
Who can I be now that I feel you?
Who was I before you?
Who can I be now that I hold you in my heart?
Oh, to delight in your private charms!
A burning hidden sun
Glowing for me
Evermore await the horizon's slip

Yours To Keep
02:49
|
|||
there’s nothing in this world like your smile
your laugh lights up skies for thousands of miles, too
but when you tell me, “I’m yours to keep”
what makes you think I want to keep you?
the world stops when you’re here in my arms
the sun shines bright gold to match with your charms, too
but when you tell me, “I’m yours to keep”
what makes you think I want to keep you?
I’m attempting to show you your way to the door
you’ve mistaken my intentions somehow
in so many ways you’re right for me
but to clarify, I mean right now
this fella’s got me falling for him
why give me your heart when his makes me glimmer?
But when he tells me, “I’m yours to keep”
what makes you think I want to keep him?
how’d I do?
did I make you believe
there’s anyone other than you that I need?
‘Cause when you tell me, “I’m yours to keep”
I want you to keep me, too
I want you to keep me, too

HOM:
You say you wanna get with me
But I ain’t trying to bring you home to M-A-R-R-Y-M-E
I only picked you up because I’m hittin’
on the rumor of your D and my position
is that a girl ain’t got to show you no respect
when she’s the Hyades of the motherfucking paychecks
Really? You’re scratching through my Roosevelts
My Jeffersons and Lincolns?
And I’m supposed to be in it for the power of your thinkin’?
If this was designation brains you’d dance the Jeopardy
I been dancing that for years, those moves don’t satisfy me
You’re some oasis of conceit dubbing me Dr. Mistreat
When I don’t keep the bands off ‘cause my O is on repeat
What’s your long stroke for an hour for a thousand, Alex?
In category: Ride Your Face And Eat A Meal Off Your Pecs
Drop it, don’t pick it up
Z:
You say you want to get with me
You know you like my hard Ts
pitter patter and Tim Terilli
rotten button and spaghetti
Uh no time for talk
Uh you gotta bust out
them walking feet and please come my way
Keep it on the low low what I’m sayin' is
Please give it up
na na na na now
If you need directions
I’ll show you how
I’m trying to ask nice
What I gotta ask twice?
Seven minutes in heaven let's go for it
I’ll spin some Cure and that might fit
If only tonight we could sleep in a bed made of flowers
and make love for hours
Thank goodness I finally told you
What I gotta do….scold you?
No more pleas and imploring
Your game is so boring
I thought you said on the telephone
Time to get this outta the friend zone
Time to do things so beautiful and filthy
Saddle up cause I know you’re with me
HOM:
You want the handouts I’m a Kafka headed loop of nay This ain’t no open-ended deal and you’re no croupier
I got a strong will I want your Phyl Dill But if you think you’re going anywhere with ScZa it’s just in for my kill
Between you and a Swiffer it’s dispose after consume
You think you’re taking me to Parmistan or to the moon Before the light is up Before my valuation drops
Consider your position vis a vis true Bruce Lee chops
Cause I will drop this like a scene a rhyme a bomb
and charge the bill to clean the sheets of it right to your mom
I’m gonna drop it (don't pick it up)
DROP IT
I want it
DROP IT
ditto
DROP IT
I want it
DROP IT
ditto
DROP IT
I’m your huckleberry
DROP IT
naughty spank
DROP IT
so badly
DROP IT
I can taste it
DON’T PICK IT UP
No, we’ll jump
DON’T PICK IT UP
Like hell we will
DON’T PICK IT UP
No, we’ll jump
DON’T PICK IT UP
Who are those guys?
DON’T PICK IT UP
I feel refreshed
DON’T PICK IT UP
Bitte baby
DON’T PICK IT UP
Oh, it’s twue!
DON’T PICK IT UP
DROP IT
There must be a way
You had to get here ahead of me didn’t you?
ROCKET BLAST
Are you on your way in or out of that hole?

With You I Lived

I lived.
Were you to take me!
Were you to lift me!
Are you breathing without me?
Have you breath to give?
Are you alive without me?
For, with you, I lived.
Were you to take me!
Were you to lift me!
Were you to numb me!
Were you to break me!
Are you breathing without me?
Have you breath to give?
Are you alive without me?
For, with you, I lived.
Delicate favor restoring our truth.
Austere mercy rightsizing my faith.
Are you alive without me?
For, with you, I lived.

I was under the impression misdirection this was a party with killer-diller action.
Hey hot lips, I’m doing back flips and corny party tricks to try to get you laughing
Where’s the levity, a possibility, hey sugar can’t you see that we can rise to the occasion?
Listen, Chrome-Dome, I’m in your drop zone. I’m the diggity dog,
Not just some lightweight outta juvie.
Grab some giggle juice And we’ll vamoose.
No more bumping gums! I’ve had it out the keister with these dingbats. Let’s give the high-hat to hotsy-totsys musclin’ up to your jalopy.
There’s too much blah blah and not enough hoo hah.
I want to bee bop like crazy, see a swell jitterbug in your hips, hooee Are you a ducky shine cracker?
Are you a bonkers lip smacker?
Say it’s looking like it’s time to agitate the gravel to me!
Of all the gin joints in Little Five Points you had to walk into this one here tonight.
Are you rationed ‘cause there’s attraction, I’m khaki wacky for you so say we might
dance to “String of Pearls”, I wanna be your girl, you got me swinging on stars
‘cause you’re really outta site
Let's beat feet and catch “White Heat”,
stop flapping your lips and smooch me, wacky dreamboat

Fake It 'Til I Make It
03:07
|

Baby the first time
you might be scared cause
I know what I'm doing
When it's all over
you'll pick up the pieces
And won't know where you're going
Should I tell you what was real?
Can you guess what might remain?
I'm gonna fake it until I make it
And then I'll do it all over again
Out in the room with the shades pulled down
It’s my hundredth rodeo and I’m the rodeo clown
I’m dancing, I’m weaving, confounding the light
Holding off the darkness I’m the owner of night
I got my cut pose
Remove your panty hose
I’m a ringer in a rainbow and I lead you by the nose
I got your bull by the horns
I’m working down we’re you’re born
You need to see my PBRmband I got three of those
This is no place where
You can just lay there
You gotta keep moving
I’ll be all over you
Until you’re wasted
I know what I’m doing

Peril Culver City, California
Do you like weird songs written on ukulele? Perhaps with bleeps and bloops and loops? Then you're in the right place. A man recently heard a song of mine and called it The Andrews Sisters-meets-They Might Be Giants, with swirling guitars. Another friend heard a song of mine and called it Modern Sons of The Pioneers. I've made songs deemed charming and lush. Sounds about right. ... more
