Doldrum days drift away, but the hurt remains,
Like cleft roots and the plucked rose, brood in repose,
Longing to someday meet again
And this I swear: If it takes me centuries,
I’ll come back to you and ever after rest in peace
Destiny beckons me home for I refuse to be
A grim spectacle for fools, like relics tooled
From some long-dead saint’s dulled bones
And I don’t care if it takes me centuries,
I’ll come back to you and ever after rest in peace
To perfumed dark at last returned, though it’s been so long
I feel a stranger here with you, but we’ll pull through
And face the sweet abyss head-on
For I did swear: If it takes me centuries,
I’ll come back to you and ever after...rest in...peace

O Rose Of May!

Strung-out and cold on the crosstown bus
My clothes still reek of you,
The cheap perfume in the motel room,
The burnt sulfur, and red columbines
You know I wear my Catholic guilt like a hand-me-down quilt
That keeps me comfy, cozy, and warm
As the fires of hell, oh they surely will
When it is that my time has come
Waiting to take a chance on secondhand romance,
Ready to take a chance, oh but you’re gone, long gone . . .
I remember it well, that roach motel
On the outskirts of this bastard town
With the curtains drawn on a cold gray dawn,
We drank pink champagne from paper cups
And then you left a lipstick-kiss on a napkin with
A phone number and a phony name
Said, “It’s been a pleasure,” took the money on the dresser,
And you walked on out that door
It’s then I saw the Virgin Mary in a water-stain buried
In the ceiling weeping graywater tears
And made a full confession to my nickel 57,
Spun a bullet in the chamber and fired
Waiting to take a chance on secondhand romance,
Russian roulette’s true test, oh but you’re gone, long gone
When I saw you that day beneath the overpass, baby,
On the arm of another man,
I’ll admit I saw red, maybe lost my head
When I drew thunder from the clear blue sky,
And left a bloody crater with the bullet from the chamber
Of the gun that wouldn’t kill me,
Like a kiss from Cupid’s arrow, then watched you spasm in the shadows
As the light left your upturned eyes
Waiting to take a chance on secondhand romance,
Requiescat In Pace ‘cause you’re gone, long gone
You’re gone, oh you’re gone, gone, you’re gone, and the rain’s gonna come,
You’re gone...

Happy End

The way she spoke of the Left-Hand path in her sequin dress
The will to power might as well
Have been tattooed across her breast
All sentiments bereft of pity, we watch this burning city
With stone enmity, with jaundiced eyes, we cast aside
The torch of pride that has left us...blind, that has left us blind
The man on the television demands that the harlequins repent
Another man boasts not to care or give thought to consequence
A flicker of ash in the immense space, dark matter all around
The vacuum is agape, devouring all light and all sound
The firmament is open wide, heaven torn asunder
The vast expanse reflected in those pearly eyes of...wonder
Those pearly eyes of wonder
Secure in your self-importance, your ego is a lie
The West will crumble into the sea, the weak will bend and die
The tears they are a-flowing for all things must collapse
Just when we thought we had all in our grasp
Don’t hold another breath, now don’t hold another breath
For it could be your...last, it could be your last!
Now a nightmare of memories comes galloping back,
There’s no refuge from the past
Now a ceremony of memories comes racing back,
There’s no refuge from the past
Oh happy end, oh happy end, oh happy end, oh happy end

Green Shores
05:17

Over the wind-harrowed hills, through the weltering mist
Hunted by the moon’s absinthe eye
I’m standing amidst the wheat and the alien corn
Scraps of past hopes and desires
Die like stars in their courses and I’m knockin’ on rotten wood
I saw the green shores in my dreams
The green shores, take me home
I saw the green shores, take me home
Haunted by the ghost of her smile
A garden of mysteries before me beguiles
I miss the cruel comfort of her lies
The green shores, take me home
I saw the green shores, take me home
With my skewered heart and my battered brain
I’m drawn to the green shores once again
A mess of pottage in my head
I am the dead, I’m the better left unsaid
I am the dead, I’m the better left unsaid
The green shores, take me home
I saw the green shores, take me home
Green shores, take me home
I saw the green shores, take me home
