BROKEN VOWS
[ ADAPTED FROM AN ANONYMOUS 8TH CENTURY IRISH POEM]
			
It was late last night and the dog was speaking of you;
even the old snipe was speaking of you in her deep marsh...

You promised me, you said a lie to me,
that you would be before me where the sheep are flocked;

I gave a whistle and I gave three hundred cries to you,
and I found nothing there but a bleating lamb.

You promised me a thing that was hard for you:
a ship of gold under a silver mast,
twelve towns with a market in all of them,
and a fine white court by the side of the sea.

You promised me a thing that is not possible,
that you would give me gloves of the skin of a fish;
that you would give me shoes of the skin of a bird;
and a suit of the dearest silk in Ireland.

When I go by myself now to the Well of Loneliness,
I sit down and I go through my trouble;
when I see the world and do not see my love,
that has an amber shade in her hair.

ah it was on that Sunday I gave my love to you;
that Sunday that is last before Easter Sunday.
And myself on my knees reading the Passion;
and my two eyes giving love to you forever!

My mother said to me not to be talking to you today,
or tomorrow, or on Sunday;
it was a bad time she took for telling me that;
it was shutting the door after the house was robbed.

ah oh my heart is as black as the blackness of the sloe,
or as the black coal that is on the smith’s forge;
or as the sole on a shoe left in white halls;

it was you that put that darkness over my life!

You have taken the east from me; 
you have taken the west from me;

you have taken what is before me and what is behind me;
you have taken the moon, you have taken the sun from me;

oh my fear is great that you have taken God from me.

			
TRAVEL
[OBITUARY EP track 2]
			
i travel lightly bring my vestibule
whatever was dollars is now south Korean won
silence just can't prayer shawl
It doesn't matter at curtain call

see it's all volunteers
you were meant to see a her

so marry the purse string
see-men kiss the wedding ring

snake-head wing don't curtain
guinevere cost my psychosexual 
secrets can't bite if overheard
in a box widespread leather statue 
silence dildo is unrefined
lying orgasm still got enshrined 

Accent pop-quiz takes your bed
bluntly south there's infrared

olivia hussey had velcro bullets in her vest
saddle or bare-back they say she was the best 

rider imposing a packhorse
by persuading road 
dirt “carrier,” and the present-day 
rendered to sell the countryside, 
Middle class a-rose in a cage
specifically, no freedom found

her daughter wants to be a witch ah

camelot spit seoul saliva
lovers stoned in the excalibur 
i went back to school
i got graded an a plus in red - man it looked like blood.

			
THE DROWNING MACHINE
[OBITUARY EP — track 3]
			
(hey bobby weir i wrote you a song
about this funny old world that;s
still comin' along - they say it's
turning but sometimes i only
feel it burnin')

oh we're all wiggin' out cause life's like a leech
even maika Monroe was on a crowded beach
paparazzi sailor throwing stones out from the sea
i had my drowning machine but thru the fog i could not see

he left a lot more than he took
'72 every time i read the book

conjecture expands like hell's blood river
empty pocket syndrome was the reported weather
i was hoping bobby didn't have to swat any Egyptian mosquitos
like when emilee streamlined a swarm with her glow

left a lot more than he took
it's 1972 every time i read the book

west coast? east? far east, all far away
magnolia coffee sugar dressed up to play

they told me the music died miss American pie
then they said the music never stopped so we all got high

he left a lot more than he took
it's '72 every time i read the book

'you know Picasso was never born' someone said
he's painting straw hat jack n stone thrown jill's head

he left a lot more than he took
'72 every time i read the book

circumstance bucket under a dizzy rover tree
estimated time of windy rain for you and for me

left a lot more than he took
'72 every time i read the book

he left a lot more than he took
'72 every time i read the book

			
JEALOUS HUSBAND
[OBITUARY EP track 4]
			
all right i didn't feel like that
i felt like ah
i felt like a kangaroo
carrying that child of yours in my arms
i felt like a kangaroo
carrying that child of yours in my arms
in my arms

i was saying
i was saying hush hush
hush little thing
hush little girl
hush little baby
don't don't
don't cry 

ah she was 
she was ah
whispering 
she was whispering saliva secrets
i could not translate
she was whispering saliva secrets
upon my shirt
like a drooling chaos
she was whispering saliva secrets

i could not translate

upon my shirt
a drooling chaos
hush hush
hush hush
hush little baby babe don't you don't you cry

i look away she's now grown up
without the tears 
she prefers
the cities
to the farm

her drunk husband jealous 
when i tell the story
she blushes like love is all
still there upon my shoulder

ah hush child don't you cry

i wanna take her back into my arms
all the way back to when i knew
i could keep her safe

			
CRUSHED
[OBITUARY EP OUTTAKE]
			
she comes in squeezing fate

im still chained to a mellow childhood house

it's the one the horned priestess built for me

she filled it up with both lust and restraint

oh back then the planet heart had no spine

but i live by the sea now

but you know my ocean doesn't hit me

the salt with self conviction is cut with cocaine

clearly lean the dead party could not afford a funeral

i loaned them my bribe money

kept my junk ticket to somewhere else

fleshed out time it flashed midnight

i thought it was out of sight

yet asked if it was all out of spite

she made my nickel love dime 

like a criminal twelve round fight

(growl)

she comes in sqeezing fate
ah she comes in sqeezing fate
she comes ah
she comes in all the way
sqeezing fate
sqeezing fate
sqeezing fate
oh       

			
1871
			
Take this summer, put it on the mary celeste boat
Take this summer, oh genoa now women got the vote
Take this summer, all the way to italy end quote
Tell them greasy grant beat greeley
Tell them boston went down in flames easy
If thye asks you, it was the lava bed wars
If they ask you, i didnt find yhe lost river
If they ask you this land is forever scarred
Tell them ol greeley couldnt take it
Tell them ol greeley went and died
If they ask you, i was dreamin
If they ask you, i was dreamin
If they ask you, i was  dreamin
Tell them Vulcan knows my name; i was in my uniform making love'
Tell them the ship hit rough waters; i was taking off my glove'
They wanna jealous me contrary and ornery
They wanna jealous me contrary and ornery
They wanna jealous me contrary and ornery
But I got my sweet patron saint;
every prayer neat, without a complaint.


			
VECLEM
			
eye keep my word
even where nothing was said
instrumental song i heard
it’s a wedding  march it was april, were we wed?
high fidelity daildialler, as modern as tomorrow
russians at brandeburg gate
without love its a cyanide capsule
tornow jets even the dogs to fate
jigsaw hall waltzing all evidence circumstantial
high fidelity daildialler, as modern as our sorrow
australia search party raves
the spirit of virginia e clemm
in my dreams beyond the graves 
how many years how many tears 
tasmanian brunette maybe all of them  
high fidelity daildialler, as modern as tomahrow
(asking about this language of tiger
mist and tale tell neon signs i tell you the  
plot of easy rider is the same as in turn the page
or one of her glances like those theatrical lines) 
high fidelity high fidelity daildialler, 

daildialler,
daildialler,

modern as tomorrow…
as modern as sorrow.

			
DEFINITIONS
			
caught the telephone ringing all alone
tell the sunshine hey wait for the evening
winner winner chicken dinner
grateful dead song spinner
flashback evil knivel
flying wheels pepper mill

got my definitions underlined
got that lust in front of her it’s right behind
next to her beside it’s like my soul she rides
it’s like my soul she rides
hours headline like minutes
desire holds me like iron boots
questions query curious answer
lies the truth is only felt in a purr

I put the receiver down 
I hear the echo around town..

			
THE FIFTH OF JULY
			
I KNEW LILA WAS DEAD  
- HOPED ELOISE WOULD SURVIVE; 
SHE LOVED HER PUPPY DOG,  
SHE HADNT EVER BEEN WED. 

A HOUSE DANCED  
ON A RIVER'S SONG AS IT PLAYED 
LONE STAR STATE OF TEXAS  
YEAH SOMEHOW STAYED... 

I COULDNT TELL HANNAH AND REBECCA APART 
- THEY WERE TWINS LIKE 
FLOWERS IN A FIELD'S GARDEN  
- IT'D BEEN THAT WAY RIGHT FROM THE START 
 
A HOUSE DANCED 
UPON A RIVER  
(A RIVER'S SONG AS IT PLAYED) 
LONE STAR STATE OF TEXAS 
WE SOMEHOW STAYED... 

LITTLE BLAIR COULDNT UNDERSTAND  
- SHE WEPT SHE CRIED; 
LITTLE BROOKE COVERED HER  
SAYING COME ON GIRL HOLD MY HAND 
 
A HOUSE DANCED  
UPON A RIVER'S SONG AS IT PLAYED 
LONE STAR STATE OF TEXAS 
WE SOMEHOW STAYED... 

A HOUSE DANCED  
UPON A RIVER  
(A RIVER'S SONG AS IT PLAYED) 
LONE STAR STATE OF TEXAS  
WE SOMEHOW STAYED...

			
OCEAN SAND PRINTS THE ETERNAL WAVE
			
wisdom hand magic touch held dream
thin as fire our death still in a scream 
sometimes remembering by candle light
bell chimes like your sandal shuffle right
left the world our burning love
ocean sand prints the eternal wave
moon pours out sunrise’s yellow grave
other times deja vu kiss we feel
hell of now these moments we steal
theft the world elevation above
lennon singing nobody told me ther’d be days like these
walrus blind lust sold nothing prayer knees
sometimes in voodoo rock and roll we are free
heaven in ruins like notre dame or me
bereft the world without true love 
theft the world elevation above
left the world our burning love
wisdom hand magic touch held dream
thin as fire our death still in a scream 
sometimes remembering by candle light
bell chimes like your sandal shuffle right
left the world our burning love
left the world our burning love

			
HOLLYWOODLAND
			
little girl in your homemade dress
kicking through the more or less
did they really make you confess
tearing up what's already been torn

shadows in a slow flicker slide by
no one looks up yet stars still shine
wine pours from their wounds high
saying remember when you were mine

little girl in your big city stress
The night's a neon guess
every morning it's a mess
as the sunlight resets reborn

shadows in a slow flicker slide by
no one looks up yet the stars still shine
wine pours from their wounds high
saying remember when you were mine

little girl with your little boy
Chinese take out noodle soy
the waiter flirts like a windup toy
fortune cookie blows its horn

shadows in slow flicker slide by
no one looks up yet stars still shy
whine pours from their wounds high
saying remember when you were my...

shadows in a slow flicker slide by
no one looks up yet the stars still shine
wine pours from their wounds high
saying remember when you were mine

remember when you were mine
remember when you were mine
remember when you were mine
remember 
remember when you were mine
remember when 
you were
you were
you were mine

COUNTERREVOLUTIONARIES
			
chained flowers bloom
ghosts leave grave longing
virginia e clemm embracing
edgar allan poe's doom
i feel baltimore and the sea
within a dream of flesh 
hidden in her nightgown
the moonstone rings
	    
aint no walls, laws like gender (hey lois clark)
either or, pronoun, pro war legal tender  ( highway lanes)

 kinks calling themselves captain america (telephone superman)

no cars only drones in ukrain,e we don't know why 	    
mailer stabbed his wife
rip torn held the hammer
maidstone breathing strife
the castle in the forest where
only death follows lifE.
