Mary Timony

I fire myself ten times a day
I throw myself in a watery grave
With fourteen horses on top of my head
I hear the voice again and again

I walk through the everlasting pit
By the mountain of fire and the fountain of spit
The pilgrims beside me just talk talk talk
I am the goblin and the mangled hawk

A demon lured me to his bed
Where I fell into a poison sleep
I dreamed of a river of ants inside me
And they were sad and started to bleed

In the dawn the demon spoke
In the saddest voice, in the saddest voice
He said, "Can you see love through a telescope?"
The end of fear, and the beginning of hope

All the painted horses
Never cry
I want to fly on one of them in the sky

Please rescue me but beware
I live with the ravens in the air
Don't despair

All the painted horses
Never die
I want to fly on one of them in the sky

Please kill me with your song
I'm already dead it shouldn't take too long
A mysterious friend and I
Dove into the sea of wine
He made a really good case against me
Why go on?

As I rode out one winter's day
Through the silver arches
I spied a lady in a silver dress
And I heard her whisper

We got a plan and we're gonna do bad
We got a plan and we're gonna do bad
We got a plan, gonna make them mad

As I rode down to the dock one day
At the river's edge
I spied a ship filled with young girls
Who impart what they said

We got a plan and we're gonna do bad
We got a plan and we're gonna do bad
We got a plan, gonna make them mad

As I rode out through the wharf one day
I spied a golden apple
The darkest prophet appeared to me
And said there would be trouble

'Cause we've been aching for oh so long
And we've been trying for oh so long
And we've been aching for oh so long

We got a plan and we're gonna do bad
We got a plan and we're gonna do bad
We got a plan, gonna make them mad

Look a ghost in the eye every day
Can you see the snake in the sky on a clear day?
Look a specter in the face with no disgrace
Some will fly away, and some will chase

Can you see me now like I see you now?
"Do you feel what you are thinking about?"
Will I like you then, like I like you now?
Do you radiate hope, do you radiate doubt?

An opera singer in disguise told me today:
"Don't count on that boy," hey hey hey
"his reputation says he is a vile rat."
Well, what am I gonna do if I believe that?

Can you see me now like I see you now?
"Do you feel what you are thinking about?"
Will I like you then, like I like you now?
Do you radiate hope, do you radiate doubt?

Can you see me now like I see you now?
"Do you feel what you are thinking about?"
Will I like you then, like I like you now?
Do you radiate hope, do you radiate doubt?

Hey little boy, when I tried to call you you were still in bed
One of us destroyed the other like the dream I had
The room is white and the clock ticks, I see nothing but now I feel sick.
Got fifteen pictures taped to the wall I can't see you in any of them at all

Here is comes, that poison melody plays to me.
Will it enter our breeze and kill us while we sleep.
That kind of music can kill your mind, I see it coming an apocalyptic sign

I know my thinking is serpentine, One thousand death moons marching in a crooked line
Well one of us write and the other love

One of us shut up, while the other one talk.
That kind of music can kill your mind, I see it coming an apocalyptic sign

We'll, I can't stand you lying here on the floor.
But then again, I've asked you to move before,
And you haven't.

I tried to get out of my apt. door,
And you were blocking the way,
Passed out from the night before.

I had to carry my suitcase over you,
As you lay in your manger there,
Passed out in a pool of drool and despair.

I said, I can't stand you lying here on the floor,
But then again, I've asked you to move before
And you haven't.

When I came home, you were talking about the sun
- how it 'circles' in a dance of its own,
And talking to it on the phone.

About how the moon is a 'drop of earth'
Covered in thousands of lakes.
We both swim in them, escaping our darkness and hate.
Looking for love, searching for it,
We go looking for love, searching for it, above
Music: our love

The pirates and the western girls
Are stronger than you think
It rains on the Pacific,
But the wooden ships don't sink
It rains on the biosphere
With an eerie sound
Like the dead calling
Up from the ground

I cannot love you more
Said the doctor to the whore
I wanna be in the garden of love
Led by a lamb and a little white dove

I am an island
I do not like you at all
Swim in my fountain
Die by a deadly waterfall
And you are the universal hate within us all
Dressed in stolen clothes
I can still hear you call

I cannot love you more
Said the doctor to the whore
I wanna be in the garden of love
Led by a lamb and a little white dove
I know you can
But I don't think I can
Swim in your river
And sleep on your sand

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Hard times are hard to forget.
None of us want evil friends,
But when something mean is done to someone else,
Who will not remember it?
Something you just said hurts inside my head,
Out on the lawn, under the bridge quietly.
People like you and people like me
Should just "agree to disagree!"

This day has been the longest day I can ever remember.
Why don't you remember me,
I'll remember you, if you want me to.
Something you just said hurts inside my head.
Out on the beach, in the kitchen everyday.
It's people like you, with a serpent's tongue
That poison everyone.
Eye for an eye. A tooth for my youth.
Good bye for goodbye

49 reasons to live and one to die.
Which one do I see through my myopic eye?
You're the only me I feel like talking to.
I swallowed a bottle of you.
Let's go for a ride, I'm a fighter, not a bride.
(Do you think that you are sick? "No, I know I am not sick.")
Once I was dying and then I talked to you.
Now the seasons grow and the trees are in bloom.
I'm tired of trying, I'm sad for those in pain.
Once, I swallowed a river of rain.
The seasons come and the seasons go
And the worms of wisdom always know.
The worms of wisdom always know,
What will die and what will grow,
The turning of the universal night into light, into dark, into day

When you heard those chicks talking 'bout your best friend,
Did you tell them that it hurts to offend?
So much is wasting my time,
We travel on the animal line.
But harmony is everlasting,
Filling our brains with plastic flowers!
I could sleep for hours.

I was tried by the man on judgment day.
I told him to get the hell out of my way,
So much is wasting my time.
We travel on the animal line.
But...harmony is everlasting,
Filling my brain with flowers!
Can you feel time? It's passing!
Hours ahead lay far behind us...
Please stay, if you don't mind us
