The Dogfish

Listless

Well as it turns out, like peas of a feather, my mood, it changes to reflect the weather, now I really dont mind the oncoming rain, what I really can't stand is when everything stays the same...

Well, I'll tell you a secret if you sing to me again, and if you don't sing anything, I'll just pretend, because your voice in my head sounds like friday nights, when I look up at Orion and see your eyes...

Well, I floated on, like a bottle in the ocean and I got swallowed up by the dogfish in "Pinocchio", and the Blue Fairy asked me, what I'd like to be, and I told her: "Like a driftwood, floating out to sea"...

Well sometimes, I look at the sky in the morning, and it feels like the pinks and the purples are a warning, now I really dont mind the ongoing storm, but my clothes are all soggy, and these shoes are getting worn-

Well, I told you a secret and you laughed in my face, then I laughed at myself for EVER running in THAT race, but I ran out of time, I ran out of track, and I wish I could just take those damn phone calls back...

Well, I went to go see the Dogfish on the bay, and I swear, I saw Geppetto out on those waves, and I knew the Blue Fairy was trying to rescue me, but I threw caution to the wind, and myself: out to sea.

Well as it turns out, Like peas of a feather:
my mood, it changes to reflect the weather.
Now I really don't mind the oncoming rain,
What I really can't stand is when
everything
stays
the
same

The "Love" Song

Love is like a white lily, that somebody picked and now it's all dry and shriveled on somebodys counter

Love is a like a crysmathanum...fuck

Love is like a pimple on the top of your head that makes it hurt everytime you comb your hair
Love is like a beautiful saturday morning when you wake up because your house is on fire.

You know, I was gonna call you, but I remembered the last time I called, and you werent home, and I was about to hang up, but your mom said something about being at practice, and I said I'd call back later, but I didnt, cause I was afraid you wouldn't be there again, I dunno...I thought...I thought maybe you were avoiding me...

Love is like a bird that cannot fly, not because it's wings are broken, it's wings are fine, but mother nature's retarded. Maybe she was high when she invented ostriches, I dont know.
Love is like buying a used car...opening the trunk...and finding the corpse.
Love is like taking a long, cool, refreshing drink....of bleach.
Love is like one of those yellow flowers that you can eat and they taste sour and my grandmother says its because dogs pee on them, BUT I DONT KNOW IF I BELIEVE HER.

So now, I'm at your house, and I'm thinking, and I'm thinking, and I can see your shadow in a window curtain, and I wanna thow a...a rock or something at it, but now, I think I'll just knock on the door, no, screw it, I think i'll just go home now.

Love is like the ebola virus....wait....thats the one that eats your skin, right?
Love is like a guitar string thats just slightly out of tune.
Love is like a piece of bread that's so stale, that a housewife uses it to knock her husband unconcious.
Love is like a mushroom that you eat it and you start hallucinating and smelling colors and stuff.

So now, I'm calling your phone, and you're not answering, and your brother picked it up, and he told me to stop bothering you, and he thinks I'm a big fat jerk, and you think I'm a big fat jerk, and I think I'm a big fat jerk, and I think that love is really stupid!

Hooligan's Island

No one called low.

            (Except for me)

                        No one called high,
                        except for this guy,
                        who was kissing rainbows in the sky.

            He's in a tree.

He smells like shit.

                        He's made of bread,
                        and baked with led,
                        yeah, how he's hanging, how he's dead.

And so I sit,

            And wonder why.

                        And my team lost,
                        they bit the frost,
                        yeah, they were nailed to the cross

            At least they tried.

I made a bet

                        I bet the game would end,
                        and you my friend,
                        would have dollars you can lend.

Ii live in my head,

            [most of the time.]

                        But it's only a test,
                        or, at least, at best,
                        it's just a messy valentine.

[Here's how it goes:]

===============================

I'll tell you a tale,

            So listen to:

                        Cause my friend Laura
                        threw her torah
                        out the window of the store.

            She said "Fuck you!

cause you dont know,"

                        She said, "I'm a whore
                        I give it for
                        maybe, twenty bucks or more."

She's been feeling low,

            Since daddy snapped.

                        And there's a hole
                        inside her soul
                        Inside, she's just a metal pole.

            One day she scrapped

Up all her dough

                        She made a spectacle
                        with a sausage roll,
                        and she played that rock 'n' roll

Good God, girl!

            What's the matter which choo?

                        You acting all cray-zee.

Aw, man.

            Shiiiieeet

                        What the Devil?

I just dont understand the kids these days.

What They Say

Well if it's true what they say about butterflies that's ok,
Cause the way things are going, they're not gonna get in my way.
And when the big wind comes to tear my house down,
I'll just grab my wooden gun and I'll get out of town.
These things always seem to work themselves out somehow.

And if it's true what they say about stars then I'll be just fine,
At the bottom of my list of doubts is the question of time.
Cause I can analyze myself all day long,
but when the big winds come, they're gonna blow strong, oh well.
I'll still be waiting for a sign.

But when the sun burns out, you'll see me in a cloud.
And when you car explodes, I'll meet you underground.
Well, I'm taking my time with these words of mine,
Cause I figure that a storm will come and take my mind, so long.
I'll leave what they say behind.

Y.C.P.Y.P.

Ma knits a cap
and a sweater out of yarn.
and father lays a trap
for the wolves outside the barn.
and it's the springtime,
nobody answers
the phone, when it rings, I'm
already out the door.

ma digs a grave
by the river in the rain.
she says that jesus has saved
my little brother from his pain.
the sun's coming out,
theres birds in the sky.
its after the drought,
and things have been going fine.

bears ate our crops.
the city council will not stop.
and everyday I read the headlines,
they make me sad.
now my sister's in a bed,
runnin' a fever out of her head
my mother's broken heart is failing,
she asked to sing her, one last song, and so i said:

One of these days, we'll destroy you.

One of these days...

Ye have locked yerselves up in cages of fear -- and, behold, do ye now complain that ye lack FREEDOM!

Ye have cast out yer brothers for devils and now complain ye, lamenting, that ye've been left to FIGHT ALONE!

Laurie's Song

I know a girl with blue hair
whose inner child is energetic.
Her eyes are like refridgerators:
warm, wide, and magnetic.
Her husband died and left her with her
seven year old daughter-
she hates to read the news,
but she loves that harry potter.

She loves young Katie very much,
they share an imaginary friend;
They'll do anything for her,
and she'll do anything for them.
She plays the piano every night
as Katie drifts off, counting sheep.
Then she lays her tired head down
and cries herself to sleep.

Don't Believe the Truth

Don't believe in physics.
Don't believe in schools.
Don't believe in swimming.
Don't believe in pools.

Don't believe equations.
Don't believe your heart.
Don't believe in poems.
Don't believe in art.

Don't believe in garbage.
Don't believe in gold.
Don't believe in lies
you think that you've been told.

Don't believe in music.
Don't believe in thoughts.
If you feel yourself believing,

stop.

Don't play dice with god.
Don't play God with dice.
Don't play Cops and Robbers
Don't take my advice

Don't be taken in
by facts and estimations.
Never trust your senses
They are merely aberrations.

Eat a crispy pie,
Or drink a purple soda.
Start a fire in a theater
Start a panic in a pagoda
Take a penguin to the ball
And make a maceroni necklace
Be a lady, be a nut
Be wild, young, and reckless
Have some fun, have some sex
Make a prank call from a booth
Stay up all night watching porn,
but do not believe the truth.
