When moon went to sleep with dirt Well she sullied herself in his bed Sky near by had to lower his eyes So that worlds could cry, so that worlds could cry The humility we failed to tend Has swollen the dam, dammed this flow Oh the havoc reveals the veil A shroud for a wreck, now you've sullied yourself Its an all time record breaking low And it's met with an impasse Our skies to climb, to smile Or bestow favours, now you've bitten the hand Lowered the bar, a wreck for a shroud Now you sullied yourself, now you've sullied yourself You have sullied yourself

Care Not 05:36
Can't stand up in the cage you're in, or spread your winga Shoes you used to choose have outgrown your needs Straining at the chain, fanning the flame Someone put a seed in your feeder But you care not for the wind For all that it carried away Oh you love the cave your in, there's a peace that it brings Staring at the past, there's a peace that it brings Sealing up the skin on your coloured lenses Someone's thrown a bone of contention You can't stand the sight of yourself for some kind of truth Little Miss Sweets bears her teeth, the happy recluse Stoking up the stove, talking with the shades Someone burnt a whole in your theory But you care not for the wind For all that it carried away And you care not for the waves For all they have carried

Bukowskian 04:59
Giving in, giving in to the here and now Sounding out Bukowskian lines With the habit raised high over your head Can you see above the horizon I'll travel light again and put on something warm With a longing to forget everything coming for ya Are you feeling Bukowskian? Invite the bear to come out from hiding No job, no money, but he's free Not to think, but then to think too hard And all the while the body moves into disrepair With a longing to forget everything coming for ya And I'll pay for the dress and your cigarettes I'll put on something vaguely clean, and that record so suggestive Everything shakes to the needle
4.
What's news for you, oh yeah, besides the glove What's weighing you and your Herculean heals, what's weighing you The dog that you left has set itself free, it's three coloured chains a flyin' Set free from your Herculean will, what's new, set free And if you'd like to take your turn at turning the world, feel free For Atlas said he'd be relieved if you could take your turn At turning the world with your Herculean hands, and your Herculean will What's new, oh yeah
5.
Which one will you choose the black or the red? Whether you will or will not stay is anyone's guess What has brought you to my door in your black and red dress? Which one will you choose the black or the red? Whether you will or will not serve, or serve to give Whether you stand and fight, or run Why'd you kiss the Blarney Stone then curse the word? Cut your cajoling tongue, let's piss on the world Whether you will or will ignore, who can guess? Whether we even out what's odd, who can tell? Why'd you leave me standing here in your black and red dress? Which one will you choose, the black or the red?
6.
Please don't ask me, I've just been hanging around Do you think you can see what's taken hold? Do you suppose you got to know me Or at least took a look through the hole in the ceiling? That's how I'm lowered over you kneeling I wouldn't beg you to just keep hanging around I wouldn't assume to have any hold And if you'll forgive the deciduous smile The posthumous longing The stains on the ceiling form in the hours I hear you breathing You can ask me to let you down Through a hole in my feelings I let you down

Worried Sea 04:07
How full the barrow How furrowed your brow Living it up by yourself In your private world Hanging about with the angels Makes you hard to find You followed the fish Up and down the furrowed sea You followed the prow Up and down the worried sea And shallow are the shadows And long are there teeth Living it down in a paper shell Catching your breath Consorting with the lions Eating their pride You follow these thoughts Up and down the furrowed brow You followed the prow Up and down the worried sea
