Man Man

whatever makes you tick
is what makes me crawl
through the mud, the blood, and the mammaries
and the worst of it all

what have you seen my past
you shouldn't see
(woof)
love me like each breath you use
and use me like you breathe
'cause you make me feel

like a zombie

forever fall into pieces
all over your feet

woe is me
I'm a zombie

you look bodacious
in that guillotine
the way you look right through me, girl
it sucks me down the street

and I pray for days
when we're quarantined and squirreled away
'cause one-on-one with you
it's like wounded outlaws on the run
and you make me feel

like a zombie

forever fall into pieces
all over your feet

woe is me
I'm a zombie

forever falling like peanut brittle
all over your tits

you walk like a man
but you talk like a fool
you strut like a stallion
but you hump like a mule

you walk like a man
but you talk like a fool
you strut like a stallion
but you fuck like a mule

well I'm a son of a gun
I'm the outcome of cum
the way I feel inside you, girl
I'm the bratwurst in your bun
and you make me feel

like a zombie

I wanna hold you
Till the mountains turn into sand
Oh my God!
What happened to all those days
Before we were bruised
Before we were cut loose
To drown in your wake

I can't breathe underwater
Like I used to
'Fore I met you

I, just can't remember
January, straight through December
My collective memories are in shambles
And so are my scruples
I'm outside your window
Throwin' bricks at the moon

I can't breathe underwater
Like I used to
'Fore I met you

Why can?t anything be easy?
Why do I always dream
With teeth falling all over the street?

You get the girl.
You lose the girl.
The girl walks back,
But you already moved on.
You take her in.
She changes her mind.
You lose the girl,
And You?ve lost out twice, so.

Why can?t anything be easy?
Why can?t everything be easy?
You wanted out, but you get pulled
Right the fuck back in!

Guess who?

Why can?t anything be easy?
Why do you fantasize and destruct the darkness?
You pawned a life.
You had to try.
Your Belly was split.
Love slipped in and
Off with your head.
Fell off fast.
Fell off hard.
You want to get back
But the backs moved on, so.

Why can?t anything be easy?
Why can?t everything be easy?
You wanted out, but you get pulled
Right the fuck back!

Ain?t got no body
Ain?t got nobody to blame
Ain?t got no body
Ain?t got nobody to blame
Ain?t got no body
Ain?t got nobody to blame

You wanted out, but you...

The pyramid's gods will come and take
All the dancing in the temple shrine,
The tarantulas will be keeping mine

Been locked down way too long,
I've been locked down way too long,

Been locked down way too long,
I've been locked down way too long,

Been locked down way too long,
I've been locked down way too long,

Been locked down way too long,
I've been locked down way too long,

take me in your boat,
to those fiery shores,
I don't want to love,
anymore,

Up she goes,
Down she goes,

Oh no, this man,
Crawls into my skin,
When I’m this man ,
Don’t never see the way,

I want to crawl,
All up into your skin,
And on my own,
Throw it to the wind,

Take me in your arms,
Out of harms way,
I don’t want to love,
Anymore,

Lay me on the shores,
Of the fiery shores,
I don’t want to love ,
Anymore.

Jackie hits the streets
She swears that all she sees
Is the hunger in their eyes
And the desperation in their speech

Jackie hunts the shadows
With a bowie knife at her elbows
Cuts free those horrible drums
That beat like bats
Under their sternums
She wears their fear around her neck

(I heard it all)
(From shady streets)
(She travels light)
(On angel feet)
(Best watch your back, if I were you)
(Her body's warm)
(And that's her cue)

Jackie's still on the loose
As the detectives gathered clues
So she tattoos a mustache above her lip
Shaves her head
Curses God for those hips,
That sway when the beat plays,
Can't give away she ain't no man

And I dont see what everybody
Sees in your sexy body
All I see
Is a shallow grave
Trapped inside a pretty face

Rescue me
Is written on your bed
Home is where the bullet lands
As it travels through your head
And I believe
That all I need to set me free
Is for someone someday somewhere to murder me

And I dont see what everybody
Sees in your sexy body
All I see
Is a shallow grave
Trapped inside a pretty face

And I walk the same cold streets
Overhear the same heartbeats
And I tune my drum just right
So you can come set it off in the night
And I want to be impressed by you
And see our violent paths collide
I want to crawl in your autumn mouth
And feel the crows pick me apart inside
And everything that they said is true
Im on a downward spiral towards you
And I'll fight through the positive steps as
I hurl towards my final descent
And I need to get back to you
And lay this heavy head in your lap
Cause these days nothing makes more sense
Than the dance towards the inevitable end
And I'm wearing virginal white for you
Don't you see
So please come with your sharpened knives
And murder me
And I'm wearing virginal white for you
Dont you see
So please come with your sharpened knives
And murder me
Cause I'm wearing virginal white for you
Don't you see
And my eyes are more open now
Than they'll ever be

(Why's it got to be)
(I heard it all before)
(Cause it dont always end)
(The way it ended before)
(Why's it got to be)
(I've heard it all before)
(Cause it dont always end)
(The way it ended before)
There ain't no God here
(Why's it got to be)
As far as I can see
(Ive heard it all before)
Your God of hope and light
(Cause it dont always end)
Never did nothing straight by me
(The way it ended before)
There ain't no God here
(Why's it got to be)
As far as I can see
(I've heard it all before)
Your God of hope and light
(Cause it don't always end)
Never did nothing straight by me
(The way it ended before)
There ain't no God here
(Why's it got to be)
As far as I can see
(I've heard it all before)
Your God of hope and light
(Cause it don't always end)
Never did nothing straight by me

Don't you dare say that you weren't warned
That the end was coming soon
And your eyes shined like Oppenheimer
As he talks about the moon

And he don't even taste the food he eats anymore
And there's a space in place of where his heart was before
And he don't even taste the food he eats anymore
And she don't wanna dine alone
And he don't wanna die alone
And she wants to live to eat

Don't you dare say that you weren't warned
That the end was coming soon
And your eyes shined Enola Gay-like
As you see the light of day

And he don't even taste the food he eats anymore
And there's a space in place of where his heart was before
And he don't even taste the food he eats anymore
And he don't wanna dine alone
And she don't wanna die alone
And he wants to eat to live

You're an elegant little pelican
And all your sorrows are stacked
Amongst your nest of friends

And over time, defined by how you carry on
And all of the torch songs you keep inside
And all of the songs that hang in the night
Even after you're gone

Butter beans, I’m gonna get you
I’m gonna stick you I’m gonna take you down
And then romp; I’m goin' to hell, you're riding shot gun


(Butter beans, I’m gonna get you,
I’m gonna get you, I’m gonna get you)


Butter beans, I know she wants you
That you’ll make a lovely headdress or
A double breasted suit of skin

(Butter beans, I’m gonna get you,
I’m gonna get you, I’m gonna get you)

Cause Butter beans, you better stay sharp
Cause I’m gonna freeze out life blood from that black heart
I’m gonna fry I’m gonna fry with a smile on my face

(Butter beans, I’m gonna get you, I’m gonna get you,
I’m gonna get you)

You think you’re so slick
I seen her lipstick 'cross your dillsnick
You think you’re so slick
I seen a lipstick cross you're dillsnick

Butter beans, you go and try and hide
In the swamp grass I got swamp eyes
And I’ll track you down like a bloodhound
It’s your time to die

(Butter beans I’m gonna get you, I’m gonna get you,
I’m gonna get you)

Butter beans, you’ve gotten so fat
I can barely carry your weight across my tiny back
Taught me singing and aim and I'll sin when you say my name

(Butter beans, I’m gonna get you, I’m gonna get you,
I’m gonna get you)

Real thick black magic can't stop the tragedy
From happening
Pig’s feet and snake piss
Crow tongue and cat face
Horse tail and bone bits
Bird’s nest and grave dust

All of it won’t keep the tragedy from happening
So run

You need a haircut
You need a shoeshine
You need aristocratic
glow-in-the dark erotic magnet

I know

You need a moped
Half-boy half-hostess
You need a black cadillac so death can drive him or ride in the back

I know

I am a smoke fire
Scared of holy water
People claim I'm possessed by the devil
But Mama, I know I'm possessed by your daughter

I know I've been told
I am dancing through

I am the top dog, top dog
Hot dog, hot dog

You need new body
You need a new latte
You need the lingering scent of holiday men doing hot pilate

I know

You cried "Wet cement!"
You love accidents
You wonder where true love went
'Cause a breeder in your bed don't butter your bread

I know

I am a smoke fire
Scared of holy water
People claim I'm possessed by your daughter,
But Mama, I know I'm possessed by a problem

I know I've been told

I'm passing through

I'm the top dog, top dog
Hot dog, hot dog

He felt her curves surrounding his neck
Like a yoke
He knows
He'll never forget
The way she cut through his bed
Like a snake would bite through a cave of flesh
But he holds her
Though she's broken
He swears he don't care where she's been

He's tired of being human
He wears her close to the bone as though she were his own skin

He shoots from the heart instead of the head
His mouth and his words they rarely connect
He looks to the past and where his tongue's tread
And he knows he meant the opposite

But she holds him
Like an infant
Though it breaks her in half to know he'll wake like a man
Sold on cold indifference
When he reaches for her she's gone
She slips like the wind through blackened sails, but

Who are we to love at all?

And I hope you don't mind
If I hang all of my hopes
I hang all my hopes on this time
Although I've been warned
I'll probably get burned
I'd rather get burned than to not try

I hope you don't mind
If I hang all of my hopes
I hang all of my hopes on this time
'Cause you won't
Let it go
