Trigger Song (free) 03:21
lyrics

Trigger Song The door Oh, the glances The door Is splitting up a home Silver themes Back and forthing Din of thieves I hate stumbled warnings Seen borders On mind Leave home Fuck into reflection Into god’s reflection Close be cold and lying The ruffle snaps Come a thousand times In similarity Clarity of hope The stumbled closeness In winter memory Hurt on the beat Cry out Broken shes and hes At all history’s cost Don’t know why the smallness of the aching Don’t know why the splintering thud Comes down Bullet time rocks and holds down Down with fever Down with instants Open ended Hey crowd Start talking with your hands And rock back and forth With men who can die Their dollars up till five Mass production hits town Pricks down - go All black in blinding sun I’m gonna wait till the mess comes around Kick snap knee job Stardom Gonna wait till the mess comes around Way past caring Taste time on your tongue Full under control I’m balling and I’m sneaking I’m balling and I’m sneaking Out the passported door Recent wounds open to the sky Recent letters- open Leave my mother open And I’m marching home back to the wall Marching home all in one piece Marching home with my mouth open Marchin, marching, marching, marching Looks down Sees himself Ending slip Emulsion fade

Hot Colonist Hack country aircraft scenes Toward directors directing Top magazines are compelled Stances worked out to the limit Various elements die for you Clearly worked out basic elements Hot colonist New colonist Sweet holy god I’m without a home At last and involved and explicit At last involved - a use 1981 was just pulling Your innocent mania Your overpopulation I’ve got cold background-toward men Hot colonist New colonist Sweet holy god I’m without a home Knows not the country or its rivers Language is fading into pictures Dealing method background method With ease Light matter-caves jeweled with things Blue finding of things inside History presents a fictional scoundrel Hot colonist New colonist Sweet holy god I’m without a home Snow to be on her bridge Resentment opens up her door Cathodes clapping twos and threes Bands are falling apart Point of america inside Point of america in sight Only her working kill men Others exploded briefly Stand on the side and wave With enemies ending

Katmandu (free) 03:31
lyrics

Katmandu The empire was limp The people unstrapped My shoes pump the sun But I’m in the clear Intrigue the times Push back the present Truth in new birth patterns It’s not my guardian Blessed no identity Black the color The space be silent Successful selective opinions You do not move Triumphant worried master Kick out reality I can touch any ship Any tundra Any mother of any living God damn you Clutching a steaming Red leather file I climb to a peak I speak I breed I read the file So filled with horrible Nothing eh There’s no training No recognition No limit to exposure The limits of timelessness I will move Left Right There’s nothing to aim on In the center

Penlight Living with a permanent It looks so bad in a couple of weeks I gotta move to a new neighborhood I got a clear blue eye No one can see I got a clear blue pocket No one can pick Now watch this You can meet my friends at a luncheon And you can put my friends down But you can go home alone. …we’re gonna hurt a girl real hard We’re gonna throw that girl right down Kick in her in the stomach kick her in the head Kick her in the stomach again Entire hearted uplift cumulated One great relish grossly she’ll release Uplifting lice meeting one another An infringement love romantic The word revolutionary is hustle In stance he wrote his personal story And not a corruptor or any husband in a restaurant The woman who calls up his enthusiasm Women are only comic infection they help you Technical right action unconditional Psychotherapist the rapist in conference Oh abundant universe on first Compelled to become perfect through right action Strength through your technique on me Scientifically fucked up Prosperity is facilitating You institute lead foot Approximate tools will get you through Most emotional upsets Human movement visit full exhilarate The sub-durational Sensational body excitement So a lonely shoulder goes through a life of thickness A life of Sickness beneath your sickness kick it

Bush Doctor I’m getting dandruff real bad I’m eating crackers in bed I got some food on the floor I’m feeling sick in the head Sick in the head Bungalow and behold We’re finished and we’re guilty There’s goo on your face Where your flower has wilted Your flower has wilted We called for the Bush Doctor What we can do tonight Called for the Bush Doctor How can we make it right I’ll call you a Bush Doctor I’ll call you Filipino Why don’t you put on a dress And hand me your pillow Why don’t you give me Your pillow We called for the Bush Doctor What we can do tonight Called for the Bush Doctor How can we make it right A live beauty turns up dead Sporting bad kid gloves Occasional tables Smashed up her occasional head They ran right into Her head. We called for the Bush Doctor What we can do tonight Called for the Bush Doctor How can we make it right We’ll it stopped all her muttering And fooling around And my drinking has doubled And I gotta leave town We called for the Bush Doctor What we can do tonight Called for the Bush Doctor How can we make it right

Day/Trip No more crack in the ceiling No more senses reeling Reload on a shoulder Flash back The candle is dying Sit there your minds Are not working Back there The business is lurking Seen load Your heart full of diamonds Fall away The moon is not shining
