And I wish I lived on Fenton street, where the streetlights always hung and the starl filled skies that twinkle from his God he soon will come Hermaphrodite Jesus, he hides in the carport the neighbours call, headlights shine on him, he's scared he stoops and he cowers they call a policeman who came and they seized him and laughed at his hair. and Jesus hates policemen for their hearts can do no love and that's why everytime he sees the man he says "Hey lets beat it, it's the fuss" Hermaphrodite Jesus he peeks through the keyhole he masturbates watching the postman, his dream But he's holding in laughter cause the coming of Jesus has a whole different meaning if you know what I mean. And I wish I hadn't met him in that coffeeshop last year for now there's nothing more to look forward to and there is nothing more to fear for all of you who were waiting it seems he was already here what such shall it be each day is a battle he cries behind lipstick and five o´clock shadow He stands in the bathroom stark naked and white surrounded by mirrors and fluorescent lights and Jesus is on morphine, Jesus is on loose and Jesus is the perfect pansy prancing in the news he's got a razor in his right hand he mutilates the flesh he's hiding in the pantry clutching a chicken to his chest singing love brother love singing love brother love singing love brother love singing love brother love and Jesus is on acid and Jesus hates the pope he said that John Paul No2 smoked up on his dope and Jesus is on opium and Jesus needs a fix and Jesus is a suffering slave to ritualistic sex singing love brother love singing love brother love singing love brother love singing love brother love Hermaphrodite Jesus he plays a piano he's wearing a bonnet to cover his ears Hermaphrodite Jesus he's wearing sunglasses he's posing for pictures He's man of the year BLACKBIRD AND THE WIDOW If you come with me tonight, we will lie in lantern light oh my sacred concubine and drink my sorrow like sweet wine.

UGLY ALICE There was once a woman who lived all alone inside of her familys home, they all passed away Late at night she'd sit and watch the candles play and recall her life as a child and how it all slipped away Alice in pretense that she is not alone the windows are elephant grey the winter was pressing so she lays in silence underneath her robe and pray for Lord Elias flames to melt all the winters snow But the snow falls very softly on the ceiling on the prairie and she watches from the window and she's crying and she's lonely and cold All the children of the town they gathered round making their way off the school threw stones at her home so she wakes to close the curtains of her room they call out "The witch lives alone" they all called her Alicen Gross And her heart aches like when cold wind it is blowing through the garden and her fear grows like a thornbush in her torso she is frozen alone Alicen locks herself inside her room she swallows the skeleton key they close this arrives all the shadows in the attic did a green in silence and middle light the ghost and the girl be free And she's dying and she's reaching whispers "Hold me" but there's noone home ZOOMORPHIC KINGDOM Spacemen watch me from the woods Crocodile eyes beneath their hoods an instance secret place they take me without trace Try to open up my eyes one thousand little antichrists all hover in my bed with strange grey swollen heads And yes I think the motherships flown in this zoomorphic kingdom never alone here in this zoomorphic kingdom of spirits and bones, buildings and stones all gone I hidded in the otium shed An old decapitated head I pull it in a box It's leathery mask of rot A spaceboy came into my room with mantishead and silversuit he asked me how I feel say nothing here is real And yes I used to think I was god in this zoomorphic kingdom but never alone here in this zoomorphic kingdom of spirits and bones, buildings and stones all gone mantishead a cries they lay me down on the table for surgery they're taking something out and then replacing it with something I cannot see horrible insect girl drops something in my eye she's trying to comfort me I see some others there they look familiar they speak to fairies placing sacred stones appearing through my garden wall they watch me as I cry and awkward children die And yes I think I'm probably god in this zoomorphic kingdom never alone here in this zoomorphic kingdom of spirits and bones, buildings and stones all gone MYTHICAL LIGHT Sitting in silence hidden in the mother womb hidious twilight I could feel me turning into you conscienscly fading they take me to another room lie and waitless floating through unconscious avenues I've seen the spectres Ì've heard them calling as my spirited and spirally skinless mythical light Suffering Jesus, someone told me that you died for me so I asked him "Do you believe everything you read?" "No" he told me, "But I embrace this philosophy it's true and I promise, it's been confirmed by people on TV. I've seen the spectres I've heard them calling as my spirited and spirally skinless mythical light. I don't believe you, though you think that you're right, Your society tricked you so just open your eyes Isaiah tells you Satan was the morning star 14:12, the fallen angel, the son of dawn, so now I say Satan and Jesus, they are the same If you don't believe me read revelations 22:16 FOUNTAIN HEART Still remember angel wings that swept across me gently inside your room and you would lie across my chest and without breath you would confess through eyes of blue The witches made a moment that would flow forever deep within the heart of you and I know it's still there no matter where we are or what we say or what we do Let's go back to the mountains let's lie down in the dark and I will swim the frozen stills to find your fountain heart fountain heart Yes, I was a pauper then, but poet still and oh, my friend, you were my muse and yes, you know tragedy still, the way you took me aside your will With all the world was out there changing money spending aimlessly upon their wills We just moved and rhymed, lost the time past, the sun fell beneath the windowsill Let's talk about astrology and sit beneath the stars and you can do my chart and read the palm about the way I once heard your fountain heart fountain heart And you still lay out in the park until the darkness fell and our bodies yearned The thin night whisper through your hair the poetry of Baudelaire as candles burn and you were like a cold inside your robe like butterflies all damp with morning dew and I would hold you while you slept and sneak a secret kiss as dreams ran wild in you I know that was so long ago and yes, we are apart but sometimes I still wonder if there's any way that I can stir your fountain heart fountain heart VIRUS Terrified I stare through my telescope blind paralyzed I see through your mind Horrified I crouch behind derelict eyes no disguise and naked lights And all of the colors in you are colors in me and all of the fear within you is fear within me. In my room, I reach through the poisonus light into you, you cry in confusion Settled hues amid from your eyes into mine I am you and naked asylum And all of the voices in you are voices in me and all of the secrets in you are secrets in me. Moonlit bride, I stand in the field where you lie crumpled wings make Lucifer Christ in my gown I spin like a merry-go-round scary eyed, please don't crucify me And all of the blood that's in you is blood within me and all of the visions in you are visions in me and all of the gods within you are gods within me and all of the worlds within you are worlds within me and all of the spirits in you are spirits in me and all of the poison in you is poison in me and all of the hatred in you is hatred in me and all of the virus in you is virus in me. SOMEBODY NEW I've got something new to believe in, she's waiting downstairs and she's far far better than you I think she'll be with me forever and yes I believe 'cause she swears to me that it's true and everything comes and it goes and it's true at least that's what happened to me and to you and now there is nothing more that I can do so I found somebody new I got someone here in my bedroom I open the door and a smile appears on her face she says she's so happy to see me now isn't that strange 'cause I was thinking the very same thing yes I believe that we'll both see it through and yes, I believe this philosophy true that everything that goes that will come back to you 'cause I found somebody new
