In the summer time In the time of thee AIDS He was dying there Where he lay Said "I won't be home tomorrow In the streets I pass today My breath will fade" In the summertime In the age of the AIDS He was breathless there Cousin Dave Said "My lover will cry on the morrow cause I won't be home that day I've got the AIDS" In the faggot clubs They sure know how to rock Though you got the AIDS I'm still loving your cock Though, I ought not Do more coke tomorrow Cause I've done it for five straight days for five straight days In the city clubs Where the boys flow like milk I was waiting there For Cousin Dave Said "I'll suck you off tomorrow Cause I know that you've got AIDS You're goin' away"

I dont need To be afraid When I go outdoors Because the Lord Gave me a guard Two cherubs and a flaming sword My Lord My Guy I dont need To burn my skin And hang my weary head Because the Lord Gave me a guide Two pillows and a comfy bed My Lord My Man I dont need To be afraid When I go outdoors Because the Lord Gave me a light A purpose I’m aiming for My Lord My Guy I dont need To be alone Inside my shriveled heart Because the Lord Gave me a love That I’ve always had since the start My Lord My Man

I don’t really come home To my girlfriend My girlfriend comes home to me With her cunt blown out And her makeup smeared And her body smelling of meat I dont really come home To my boyfriend My boyfriend comes home to me With his cock sucked clean And his belt undone And his tensions all relieved I dont really come home To my girlfriend My girlfriend comes home to me With her ass blown out All dripping of semen From all the happy Sailors she's meeting Her legs wide open Inviting attention Welcoming cock With divine protention Hail the flesh That makes me quiver Praise the skin Of Malthusian slivers Take my body Tear it apart Watch the bits of Love depart I dont really come home To my boyfriend My boyfriend comes home to me With his body reeking Of other women I wish I could see them I wish I could touch them I dont ever come home To my girlfriend My girlfriend comes home to me With her lips so soft All reeking of semen From other fine young men this season Watch my body Watch my form Tell me how your Fears conform

Answering the call I’d like to take a fall Into your angle The pressure’s in the blood My spirit’s vital mud I’ll fear and tremble If I had to make a call I know I’d bet it all On Naomi’s numbers Sweat drips brow to brow I’ll never ask you how Your faith is wonder It's so easy now To look back and frown In a simple way You’re the light of day Holy tune descend If my love could only bend Across the gulf to you Tissue grace my skull Let the christform make me whole You see me through and through Content or the form I know you won’t conform To shapes the devil drew Freedom glows around Your darling skull and crown You burst with something new It's so far away Like a hazy day Take it easy now You're a silver cloud It’s so fun to say I’m in love again With your picture world You are life unfurled

Look to Kingstown Harbor Gaze into the Dublin Bay My Martello tower Meets the white and gold of day Razors call me Cause I’m priestly I am the butcher Heaven sent me Luck of the Irish When you touch me I am the mirror Kinch, the knifeblade I am the pastor With no error Just ask the spirit Of my Mother Read my scripture So perfectly I am the sharpest Kinch, the knifeblade Fear not now you jesuit See the winedark snot and spit I am the boy That can enjoy Invisibility, my toy! Luck of the Irish Please guide me Take me to heaven Kinch, the knifeblade Introibo ad Altare Dei Come to the altar Kinch, the knifeblade Call the old maid And have a chance To pay your debts To her, two pence To drink with Haines And Mulligan Who spake of Hellenistic trends An englishman Among the ilk Of Gaelic blood That flows like milk From Joking Jesus On the cross To Zarathustra, Virgin’s Loss Break the news To her gently I shall die! Kinch, the knifeblade Preach Blasphemy Of new pagans Hellen lead me To temptation I am the purest On the island I am the sharpest Kinch, the knifeblade I am the servant Of two masters Luck of the Irish And Rome shatters

Sunk my talons in a girl From Oakland, Cali-for-ni-a Woke up with her back to me Bruised up in totality If you ever need a host Just fly now coast-to-coast You know I’d always have you Give you the lovin’ you need most Dottie Eat my skin Eat my blood Eat my soul And eat my flesh Eat my skull Eat my blood Eat my body And eat my skin Eat my love Eat my lead Eat my nature And eat my flesh Adrenochrome’s on tap in the Equinox tonight Dottie Take me now Eat my skin Eat my body And my flesh Eat my blood Eat my soul Eat my skin And eat my flesh Take me now Eat my blood Eat my skin And eat my flesh Eat my brain Eat my stain Eat my body And eat my blood In a fancy restaurant, You say “later, fuck my ass” Eat my blood Eat my blood Eat my blood Eat my blood I Met you in haste Had of a taste of your sweet blood Ill take you down Take you under From the crown—pray for me You Smell of the night Broken dreams and broken lights I’ll heal you now Take you back To poverty—pray for me I’m Addicted to the sight Broken lives and drunken fights I’ll love you now Court the sickness I'm a sow—forgive me Hail Those bloody evenings still Clench my jaw to give you chills Invoke my breath Until I’m a death Here in your arms—pray for me Love Is nothing but a spell Give me pride and give me hell Until I’m dead Alone in my bed I need you now—forgive me I’m So impotent and shrill Whine and moan and shriek and spill I'd love to cry Into your eyes I’d ought to die—pray for me You Prince encased in glass I know how to free you fast I’d love to break Every pane That makes you stay—away from me I Know this is a dream Somewhere far away from here I wish I were near To your touch I live in fear—pray for me (All Knowing All Flowing I can't fail All Number All Lumber I can’t breath All Heaven All Leaven I love you All Holy All Costly I can't see) My princess shines Away from all the marrow mines All the plates Laid between our sweet frail fates So i'm just sick Away from all the oil and slicks Let it go Out on the blackest sullen sea I’ll just opine About every little shine Every glimpse Of faith hiding in your eyes I'll take the trip Off the tilting boat and dip Into your blood That flows thick and blue below Grasp at my throat When you show me how its done Into your mouth I’ll suck the spit and warmth

I’d waste it all I’d waste it on the drug I’d waste my vision My future I've become Used to be so giddy Now my brow errs every day I’d waste it all I’d waste away alone and all I’d kill myself for you I pray for you now every evening And every waking day I remember when you called me To touch my blood again I could take you for an evil If I didn't spot your face I’ve just fallen for a sickness The beauty of decay I could kill you in a second If I didn't know restraint I wish I could live beside you If you only knew my pain Make not haste this coming sunday For then you should rest and lay Waste not worry on my spirit As my spirit flies away (what do you call a black man on the moon That's an astronaut What do you call an oven with a jew That’s the holocaust What do you call an asian on a bike That's a cyclist What do you call a woman in a church That's a methodist What do you call a monkey in a house That's the president What do you call a cat chasing a mouse That's the precedent What do you call a black man on the street That's a tragedy What do you call a soldier with no feet That's an amputee) I’d waste it all I’d waste it on the drugs I’d cut my spirit This nothing I’ve become I’d waste it all I’d waste it on a joke Throw out my egg My corpse and dripping yolk, you know I’d kill myself for you I could picture you awake now In a sweeter, softer space I wish love could last forever If I only knew my place I know poppy seeds forgive me When I do my spirit dance I wish I could touch your nature If you only gave me the chance You could kill me for my sunbeams If God granted you the grace I would picture you the devil If it weren't for your darling face I would love to live without you If I only had the faith I know freedom is the answer Make waste and not make haste (what do you call a black man on the moon That's an astronaut What do you call a greek man on a ship That’s an argonaut What do you call a russian in the cold That's just normalcy What do you call an asian getting old That's humanity What do you call a monkey in a house That's the president What do you call a cat chasing a mouse That's the precedent What do you call a jew with tired eyes An optometrist What do you call a white man that tells lies A philanthropist) I’d waste it all I’d waste it on the drug I’d throw my vision In the grime and in the mud Kill my body Put desire in its hole Keep on eating All the tar until you're full I’d waste it all I’d waste it on the drugs I’d cut my spirit This nothing I’ve become I’d waste it all I’d waste it on a joke I'd kill your vision That black kaleidoscope

see thy overpictorial gestures arrange thought for days love waits patiently as i develop from becoming to decay i hate the truth though it never started with you it began with my first love who dirtied my soul in youth thought i wish to be clean for you im attached to a realm of noumenal tissue scars you feel perfect and warm so often i could never be torn like lungs being strangled to death by the daisies maybe soon ill be born i love the truth ive been waiting for you since my youth a face to hold in my palms as my tears are wrought by the psalms i know you are light i know you are

when its cold outside please dont forget me think of me and ill be by your side when your days are dark please dont regret me just picture the spirit that spirit of biloxi (cool breeze onwards love free tear your heart) if your chest is tight and your burdens plenty say his name and he'll be by your side so with all your might sing with praise his splendor yes you know his name our savior, jesus christ (all need fades to null I see your lucky skull)

Don't you know a glass is either empty or full Spirit is for the world historical individual Maudlin is the subject in relation to the object How you wish our damaged loving hearts could somehow contact Blood isn't free Are you talking to me? Cause’ I’m the sickly perv who knows exactly what you need Haven't the mind Haven't the time Although being must come first, if you only had a sign Spirit flows to heaven just the same as it flows through the rhine — land! Can't you see existenz is a concrete bath I once knew a girl who read Sylvia Plath She’d be slow to respond, through her catatonic fits Oh she took me to the edge just to test me for my wits Love isn't free Are you listening to me? Because I’m the one who lacks the eternality of need I'm kissing your spine All your fleshy fault lines Which I’ll never see again, but quite frankly I’ll be fine Women come and go but I’ll always have the contingent unfolding world in my mind

she went to church every other sunday she wore a dress as white as maiden's milk she went to church most every day and, oh, her voice was soft as heaven silk i wouldnt mind if she never turned away between myself and my hair thats growing grey i knew a girl most every day se was my world but not today

Take me on out to the ball game I’m gonna take the piss Swing and miss Hum and hiss All the lonely hearts I would have kissed Ay Take on out to the ball game I’m gonna drink your blood Consume you heart Don’t let me start Cause once I’m turned on there’s no way to stop Hey Take me on out to the ball game I’m gonna have my time Drink my wine Feeling fine You know I’ll fuck you up if you whine At me Take me on out the slaughter I know your daughter looks nice I’ll treat her swell Make her so frail Covered in bruises from head to tail Mang Take me on out to the ball game I’m gonna put on a show Make you all know Praising your flow I said the pale of your skin often glows

Don't go that far This isn't who you are Who you want to be My friend I'll see you in the end I’ll wait and see My star I’ll find you where you are Holy tuned amphetamines will never take you far And i just miss the way you kissed me In those days I can't forget the way you held me So far away Don't go that far This isn't who you are Who you want to be My friend I'll love you in the end Just wait and see My star I'll meet you where you are I’ll never lay a hand atop your perfect skin again Just wait and see My friend I’ll hold you in the end I’d let you steal My throne I’d never let you go And I will yield My thoughts I know that’s all they are But loving you’s a miracle I’ll always pray for more And i just miss the way you kissed me In those days I can’t forget the way you loved me So far away And I just miss the way you hold me I’m replaced Take a piece of me on with you I’ll be okay Don't go that far This isn't who you are Don't you know it’s all for naught Man, you are not your thoughts I see your face so clear I know just why you’re here I can’t contain my bones Through endless dial tones Man put the needle down The world shines back a frown I want to heal your wounds And bring light back to you I know its all just pain When you can’t soothe your brain But i'm praying for a miracle To bring you back again Please don’t go that far This isn't who you are I see your smile is drowned So lets just turn around I guess I’ve lost the plot While playing round in rot Screaming to myself again that you are not your thoughts And i just miss the way you kissed me In those days I can't forget the way you held me So far away I won’t forget the way you kissed me In those days I just miss the way you hold me So warm and safe And i miss the way you loved me In those days Your tender skin was thinking of me So far away

Out of the siren Out of the fire Out of the tulips Laid by your grave Into the fire Into oblivion Out from the furnace Pleasure is made Out of the forest Out of pure nature Blind Elysia Here once laid Out from oblivion Friend to everyone Out of conviction Love is made - Into the life tree Son of ecstasy Molly is waiting Sirens of light Out of the picture Blind Elysia Stitches suit you Wouldn't you say? Out of conviction Out of oblivion Values are nothing If not neutered and spayed Out of the forest Out of pure nature Blind Elysia Motions are made

Dont Wait You Are brighter than ever Ich Liebe Dich Für immer und immer My mistake Darling Frauline I will wait On the sideline You are freedom You are fire You are heaven You are desire You are trembling You are Hell You are Freedom ringing A wedding bell You stew there In your pain You are pleading All in vain You are suffering All for naught You are not your thoughts You are freedom You are desire You are freedom You are desire You are freedom You are desire You are freedom You are Please Wait I Can't go on without you My Heart Is sewn To you and you alone Play again Brian’s records Do ron ron My affector You are lightning You are power You are freedom You are devoured You are kindness You are swell You are freedom Ringing a wedding bell You loved me Long ago You are coldness You are the snow You are praying All for naught You are not your thoughts You are freedom You are desire You are freedom You are desire You are freedom You are desire You are freedom

Monarch bloom Inside your room The tired cuts Comprise your rule Morals dont matter if you know you can take it In the ass Take it in your mouth Abstract right Abstract crowns Doesn't matter what you think until it has Actuality Save some time for tea Honey you know You can count on me Loving you is easy Its the right philosophy I could take you in your ass Take you in your mouth Concrete love Concrete vows Honey i can feel it How your tongue is calling out You can take me now

Caught you standing on the side of the road Thumb to the air as the asphalt glows I don’t even care that you look like shit Just wasting time on a broad to hit Picking you up in my ford freestyle Its got no plates and it runs for miles Windows tinted as black as my heart Stare into your eyes before the driving starts Cut your neck Blood on the seat Whatever Cunt It's time to eat Fuck your corpse Break your face Your nothing Bitch I'll take your place I am hatred I am fear Whatever Cunt Boxcutter to your throat I am blood Pooling on the floor Whatever Bitch I’m giving you more Shallow grave You sleep today Whatever Cunt Here you shall lay I am hatred I am death Your nothing Bitch I’ll take your breath Cut your neck Blood on the seat Whatever Cunt It's time to eat Bury you whole Never to be found Whatever Bitch You're in the ground

I never know quite why All the girls call me a sneak In the sheets i keep a bitch An sich, an sich Detached from the rest Of my lovers and my friends A bitch is for herself And i don't have further plans Stay the fuck away If you know how to behave Don't you come a knockin Lest you've got debt to be paid I am for myself Just like anybody else Tell it like it is Isolated from my wealth Always turned on I never know quite why All the world is at my feet In my head I keep that shit An sich, an sich Detached from the rest Of my principles and trends A thing is for itself At least itself is its own end You are nothing more Than a floozy and a whore Spotted you a’-gluggin’ Drinking out the liquor store Know how to behave Lest you love it to be flayed Power is control In itself its strength is paid
23.
From the pearly gates To the Caspian sea White magick augur Cast your spell on me The numbers make sense Like they came from a dream White magick augur Aim your spell at me Light magick sparkling Bless your heart through its seams White magick augur Put a spell on me Seven in threes Pluck the roots, holy trees White magick augur Put a spell on me

God Waits Patiently every day He prays For you to get better I Love The sickness in your brain I know that Substance is Subject Please Hail All the flesh that sings It stings when You won’t bite harder I Hope The future cuts me down The ground Is calling me further Truth will haunt my fantasies And Truth will haunt my dreams How do you know you know me know me How do you know you know me know me How do you know you know Naomi How do you think you know you know me How do you know you love me love me How do you know you love Naomi How do you love the minute, minute How do you grasp the second, second When it's grasped it’s splayed and stretchin’ How do you love you love the spirit How do you grasp the minute, minute How do you know you know, Naomi (x2) You touch the surface gently You pause to take it in You wander down into the kitchen You take a long swig of gin You love the air in the mornings You love the pollen, when it comes Spring You take the outside to your inside You take the world into your skin (Spirit Faith Heaven Grace Help me See Come to Me) Lord Bind All my strength and will Distill my Sorrow to treasure Fate Has Torn our lives apart Let's start To pick up the pieces I Wait Patiently every day And pray For you to come closer Faith Has Saved me once again I’m drowned in Absolute Knowing (I’m holy Please take me I’m sullied Please break me I’m cracking Please save me I’m resting Please wake me) Truth will haunt my fantasies And Truth will haunt my dreams How do you know you know me know me How do you know you know me know me How do you know you know Naomi How do you think you know you know me How do you know you love me love me How do you know you love Naomi How do you love the minute, minute How do you grasp the second, second When it's grasped it’s splayed and stretchin’ How do you love you love the spirit How do you grasp the minute, minute How do you know you know, Naomi (x2) You love the sky in the nighttime You love the sting of broken glass You take the outer for the inner You spin the rusty cotton gin You love the sound of running water You love the sting of memories passed You take a picture to remember You paint a canvas to forget (Spirit Faith Heaven Grace Help me See Come to Me) God Hates Being the guy in charge He needs You here as his soldier I Know Contradiction flies Away Its flowing forever I Just Feel the grip of Truth The sting of Absolute Knowing Love Is Cutting me apart Let's start to Pick up the pieces Truth Is Gnawing at my bones I throw My spirit to heaven God Waits Patiently every day He prays For you to get better I Love The sickness in your brain I know that Substance is Subject (I’m sorry Please love me I’m hopeless Please leave me I’m dying Please spare me I’m crumbling Please eat me I’m holy Please take me I’m sullied Please break me)
