don't poison us

or soon we'll be wearing black and making ominous jokes about pipe bombs

i love you my lovely dear

i don't want you anywhere

i want you to be my bride

no, not really, i just lied

will you love me with your might

i'll beat you an inch from your life

hold me tight with breaths of truth

i wish a terminal disease on you

gosh, i feel so darned confused

every felt like you've been used

bi-polar opposites attract

all of a sudden my water broke

i love you for what i am not

second rate word play bypass throat

use once and destroy

invasion of our privacy

after birth of a nation

blanket acned with cigarette

i forgot what i looked like to you

starve without your skeleton key

what defines you?

White moon, white moon
Breaks open the tomb
Of a deserted cartoon that I wrote
Creature come, creature, creature
My own double feature
As I'm warming the bleachers at home

Well, my nose keeps on bleeding
'Cause it's rita I'm needing
I better call out a meeting of the boys
Of the boys
My friends are all dying
And death can't be lying
It's the truth and it don't make a noise

Oh Rita, oh Rita
If you lived in MESITA
I would move you with the beat of a drum
And this picture is proof
That although you're aloof
You had the shiniest tooth 'neath the sun

Easy come, easy go
Be a star of the show
I'm giving up all I know to get more
To get more
Photograph the picture
Young grunt pin-up scripture
For the locker-tagged memories of war

A mirage, this garage
And a photo montage
And the finger massage from the host
Good lord, good lord
The one I ADORED
And I cannot afford is a ghost
Is a ghost

Proto-social is the word
And the word is the bird
That flew through the herd in the snow
In the snow
Lemonade me, then grade me
Then deliver my baby
And if my friends all persuade me, I'll go

Blink, blink at me Rita
Don't you know I'm a bleeder?
And I promised I wouldn't lead her on
But she READ me, then led me
And I ate what was fed me
'Til I purged every word in this song

i'm sure it'll last a month and she'll get bored, but for now what a sweetie she's being. i guess it's because 80% of the boys she likes are super-scared of big loud girls with prescience and they think girls should be like what they think she is, which means 80% of her boyfriends only like her because she's soft and cute and not because she's clever or hard at all, which is why she EATS THEM UP

its much easier to have sex when you want to kill yourself

During the 1960s, I think, people forgot what emotions were supposed to be. And I don't think they've ever remembered.

Everyone will be famous for 15 minutes.

Fantasy love is much better than reality love. Never doing it is very exciting. The most exciting attractions are between two opposites that never meet.

I like boring things.

I'm afraid that if you look at a thing long enough, it loses all of its meaning.

I'm the type who'd be happy not going anywhere as long as I was sure I knew exactly what was happening at the places I wasn't going to. I'm the type who'd like to sit home and watch every party that I'm invited to on a monitor in my bedroom.

Sex is more exciting on the screen and between the pages than between the sheets.

People get very conscious of electricity when it goes sideways and starts to act erratic… Eerie blackouts, hissing, and strange shocks from the toilet bowl, terrifying power surges that make light bulbs explode and fry computer circuits that are not even plugged in… The air crackles around your head, and you take a jolt every time you touch yourself. Your lawyer burns all the hair off his body when he picks up the cordless phone to dial 911. Nobody can handle electricity gone amuck. It is too powerful… Ben Franklin was never able to lock a door again after the night lightning came down his kite string and fused that key to his thumb. They called it a great discovery and they called him a great scientist; but he bawled like a baby for the rest of his life every time he smelled rain in the air. Electricity is neutral. It doesn't want to kill you, but it will if you give it the chance. Electricity wants to go "home", and it will find a quick way to get there. Electricity is always "homesick". It is lonely. But it is also lazy. It is like a hillbilly with a shotgun and a jug of whiskey gone mad for revenge on some hopeless bum down the street. A fatal attraction for sure… But, he won't go much out of his way to chase the bugger down if an ambush looks a lot easier. Why prowl around and make a spectacle of yourself when you can lay in wait under some darkened bridge and swill whiskey like a troll full of hate until your victim appears- drunk and careless and right on schedule. So close that you almost feel embarrassed about pulling the trigger.
