My friends were online
I went for a ride
A sinister wind
The water was fine—
Out deep by the jetty
The spiral unwound
Soundlessly down !!
O to soundlessly drown !!
It rushed through my head
Burning unbreath
Weakness is time—
That alchemical lie
On the lake bed
The waves became mine
I'll never be dry
This keeps me alive
So keep me alive

We got sad; it ain't half bad !
We're embered and red in an unmade bed
Automate the beat of the dread
Screw the refrain—hell's in your head
A hollering crowd took to this town
Rake it in babe: what good-looking frowns !
Fluorescent needs, the tasty debris,
A deathless unease is lingering
It's perfect for me !!!
Kick your pain across the floor
Blacken every studio door
Who cares what they're bartering for
The mineral's free—ain't that obscene ?

Hear that screaming come & go
The other lover's bad hello
Leaking orange, lips whipped black
With atomized champagne & hash
PULVERIZING !!!
Tuck the little saints away
I'm resurrecting brand new pain
The god of guilty chromosomes
The joys of getting fucked alone
& PULVERIZING !!!
Heaven hang my little hopes
Dangle down those bloody ropes
Shattered brains & pretty eyes
THEY NEVER LIE !!!

Streets of Paradise

The tears fall down like whisky
The tears fall down like wine
On an island made of cocaine
In a sea of turpentine
We all need some assistance
But won't that day be fine
When we're walking down the streets of paradise !
Tarbrush on the corner
I've never seen him before
He drank ten fingers of what they had
Now his feet don't touch the floor
He can't see me or this dirty old town
He's got nothing to look for
He's walking down the streets of paradise !!!
I'd trade my silver mansion
With a guard on every door
I'd trade my wealth and treasure
And the sash my father wore
I'd trade my little sister
And my brother who went before
To be walking down the streets of paradise !!!
I asked you for a racehorse
Now don't hand me no mule
I asked you for a fast car
Don't you take me for a fool
Just hand me down my telescope
And a bullet I can chew
I'll be walking down the streets of paradise !!!

Glorious pain, that’s what you pay
Precious as meat to a flame
My preterite fuel in this holy spittoon
Render your stars into glue
To the wondrous sounds
Of unbroken plows
Pushing the carbon around
Gravity whines, pull out the sky
Compress all your fears in a line—
We'll never be free
The chain's guaranteed
But you'll all be deader than me
