this is the year of the locusts the season of the pig they dragged me to golgotha and tried to paint me red don’t ghost me now just because you can you might need a friend further down the line it’s a small world and that’s a fact we were bound to meet again I drew strength from that I’m counting once for sorrow and hoping twice brings joy I don’t pray for silver I only pray for gold so come on help me out minister to my wounds don’t pin me up again with your psychosexual harpoons
it’s gone dark oppressive in the nether latitudes where we are imprisoned in endless night there are suckers here who’ll bleed you dry they’ll steal your words and feed you lies I stand accused of the things that I said but I won’t beg for mercy I’ll never kneel or bow my head I’ll strike no deals with my oppressors you know I’m not crying coz I don’t feel sorry the night is seeping in but I don’t seem to worry
my outside woman stole my sleep that’s okay I got my inside woman to cook my meat she won’t drag me down and she won’t turn me loose she loves me like a friend coz we have a thing that shines in the dark she don’t care where I go as long as I come back
I’m as regular as clockwork straight as a die and crooked as life no-one tells me what to feel or where to go or when to sleep do as I will that’s the whole of my law I got the mambo and the strawberry jam I do what I want just coz I can
I wasn’t meant to be tied down I have too many friends doing my rounds I may be losing all my wagers but I still feel lucky I’m still in the game I’ll go down loving I have no choice I’m mister machine lighter than air they say that I’m bad but I don’t seem to care
got banged up for telling porkies wasn’t the first time won’t be the last lies are social lubrication truth is a pill that’s hard to swallow lies are a common human currency truth is a jewel beyond comparison so rare that no-one sees it if it stares them in the face I’m saving mine for maximum impact it’s my secret weapon my get out of jail free card the final resort when lies won’t suffice
she sees meat where otherwise serpents shine she carves deep her bloody policy seeks only to divide I knew her long ago in the once upon a time but we were never friends and she’s no kin of mine here comes the night the night that bears her name this bed of nails was a gift of design she said our wounds would keep us honest but that was just a lie she left her mark on me and taught me not to promise things I can’t deny she came to me a refugee there was some truth behind her lies she knew I was a thief but I never picked her pockets and she never asked me why but we shared a century of torments under midnight skies
you’ve been busted comrade we know where you sleep we have this place surrounded your delusional thinking will not go unpunished you are not immaculate you are just criminal and you have no friends you shall face the scaffold totally alone
some say that genius is
an affliction of the mind that torment
inspires beauty and the hand of god has blessed the afflicted with his loving touch but they’re yanking your
chain madness is a lesion of
the heart a slashing torment of the soul and no-one hands out purple hearts for self inflicted wounds
are you one of the beautiful people?
were you provided
the opportunity to shine?
you need a
friend who can hold you up
I know where
you can cut a new deal
but you
gotta get righteous
buy the
t-shirt
and tread
the path
that leads
to glory
you’ll find
new friends
among old
enemies
making deals
in public
lavatories
coz loaves
and fishes
don’t mean
shit
when your
pockets are empty
and you’re
dying for a fix
did you get some peace when peace was offered? or is your hatred still a sacred cow? did you stick to your guns is that a virtue? yes I know the words but I won’t sing along
anger is stupid and stupidity kills so dig me a hole right next to yours I’m no
genius neither are you but I can see that victory is impossible in a war between friends
there is only losing in your philosophy the final blow will leave us both morbid and stranded on the shingles with memories of drowning boys who were taken away early by the
ebb of a turning tide
bleeding out between the stars
it was
written in my sky
that I was
born of the night
to be
bioelectrically crazy
and idle to
the bone
but it’s not
such a raw deal
how can I
complain?
when midnight
serpents shine
in gardens
misty wet with rain
and even the
constellations
are pounding
out my name
this place burns me out with wearisome repetition its suburban cliché weighs heavy on my doldrums and I’m drowning in an ocean of sundays I’ve gone native in the great nocturnal I’m flying solo from now on in but I'll bail out before I’m found out for I have deviated from the norm so blanket me with tar and feathers lead me to the killing floor I’ve had enough of the social system my heart is heavy dread and my bloody knees are sore
I fled my perch on a promise dived head first into your blues your terrible ocean blues you were snake oil and gold dust half pretence half mystery I fell for you like the sucker you took me for ‘call me sometime’ that’s what you said but I lost your number along with my head you seemed bona fide your credentials were good but I wasn’t committed just passing through what was the catalyst for my change of heart? I don’t remember was it something you said? the lies that you told? the tears that you shed? you painted me blue I painted you red I can’t reach you now why would I want to? your facts were all fictions I’ve been once bitten and that left its mark
