MANTOVANI
---------------
I saw an angel chorus
Dancing pirouettes around my head
Am I dead?
With a sound so deep and true
And my mother likes it too...
MANTOVANI!

THE RAPE OF THE VESPERS
----------------------------------
Don't, don't you twist
Twist your head in the dark
Or shake off your fears
Slake your fears, fuel the spark
Then, on a hill
On a hill, you will spill your soul
'Cause you need what you can't take
He says "It's only intravenous poison hate."
She says, "Only?"
Lonely fathers shed their sins,
wretches grieving, leaving sins for the sons
Screw, don't you screw
Screw your head up in a vain
Or writhe in the dirt
Stay inert, feed the pain
High on a hill, we will kill
We will kill your soul...
When I looked for the Vesper skies
Venus called my name
It was dark, it was dark
And the screams were all I heard --
When I looked to the Vesper skies
Venus was in flames
It was dark, it was dark
And she waited for the stars to fall
And crush us all
Leaving sins,
sins for the sun.

THE BIG SEA
----------------
I dreamed an overbloated man-boy put his lips to my head
His cheeks were cold, his stubby fingers
traced the words that he said
He spoke of ugly death, and candy breath
And fixes that hit
He stroked my hair and whispered something
I was too gone to get
For many days and nights
I held the dirty truth in my hands
And watched the lifeless bodies rolling,
washing up on the sand
With all the noise in my head
I could swim with the fishes instead, because
Something's coming, big and strong
A shining, evil crown of bones
Swim in a river of piss
'Till you sink like a stone
In the Big Sea
It was a long, lonely wait at the pit of the well
Looking up at the sky
Water soaks into my skin
Drains the hole till it's dry, dry, dry
Long lazy afternoons of kissing the fix
The fix was a hoax
Now look into the river, baby
Wash your hands in the face of ghost...

CIGARETTELLO
-------------------
Little John's date gave good hate
Left him tied-up in a chair
Now she's passed out on the floor
John sits pondering her hair,
and her tiny little feet
Cigarette between his teeth
Standing on stiletto heels
She would put him to the test
She would kiss him on the mouth
Scrape her fingers 'cross his chest
Cigaretto, if you please
"Light me up," he whispered
What a bitch to think about it
Can't move an inch without it
"I'm burning up," he said
"Think I'll scream until I'm dead!"
As the flames consume my skin, so does my desire
As the flames keep rising
Higher and higher

LISA'S LAST WORDS
-------------------------
Hedda had a headache from her nose to her spine
Pressed her swollen lips against a hand supine
Joel was oblivious to what this would mean
Inside his brownstone he shone
The violence like a machine
He orchestrated the chaos
Hedda heeded commands
He lorded over the Mayfly
Crushed her wings in his hands
(That froze her last words)
NO.
Heard about a dirty lawyer down on his luck
Caught your picture staring out from under the muck
He felt like Jephthah dancing over the coals
The prosecution was loaded, shot his tale full of holes
He orchestrated the chaos
Hedda failed to protect
She watched the tiny light flicker
But she couldn't connect
NO.

THE CHICKEN WON'T STOP
---------------------------------
Well, if the chicken won't stop
Then what about the fat, prosthetic cock-o-nine tails
Poised above your head
Like a promise that you dread
The chicken won't stop
And if the chicken won't stop
Then brace-up for the jackals
Gnawing on the fingers of your open hands
While you're grabbing all you can
The jackals will gnaw, the jackals will gnaw
The jackals will gnaw, till my baby goes
Down to the river with a rooster on her back
Breaks down in the river with a noose around her neck
Then down by the river
I'll give my baby something...
