WHISKEY IN YOUR CORNFLAKES
So you want a little danger
So you want a little luck
So you want a little whiskey with your corn flakes
Both a stripper and a fireplace
Your whole family not to know just where you are
In case you don’t find it someday
The Earth’s spin will still be okay
Your friends say “he drank his life away”
And you’ll keep making plans in your cozy grave
So you want a little picnic
Both with honeybees and drugs
Wannabe a part prince Charles, part Charles bukowski
Little brat pretends he knows he
Is worth something but his dead end plans

FREE HANDJOBS FOR THE POOR
I like the way you cannot remember
What I’ve been visiting hypnotists to forget
Everything I have I lay it on the floor
And stripped of all my pride I sleep outside your door
I find it funny but not amusing
And it seems so nice, now that it’s gone
Everything I have I lay it on the floor
And stripped of all my pride I sleep outside your door
Prostitutes in brothels and free hand jobs for the poor
Everything I have guess what I’ll spend it for

They like to sing the songs
That never speak the truth
They like to sing the words
That simplify the youth
Oh how
Will those songs
Come to an end
Oh how will we throw those words
In mount doom so they burn forever?
They turn chords to the sound
The sound of forgery
It looks like music but
It’s just upholstery
What
What do they defend?
And how will we throw it
In a furnace so it burns forever?

Green Grass

Green grass you fooled me
Oh I’ve really been a fool
Green grass you took me by the hand
And led me to a place
Where people have no face
But the face I want to see looks just like heaven
Green grass you fooled me
I mistook cheap tin for gold
Green grass you took me by the hand
And led me to a place
Where people have no name
But the name I want to speak sounds just like heaven
All my life’s been so stiff
There’s a giant “what if”?
Lingers over my head like a storm
It leads me to a place
Where all lips taste the same
But the lips I want to kiss taste just like heaven
Green grass you fooled me
There is nothing green on your side
I just mistook that mirror for a fence
Εις μνήμην της Αρλέτας

There is a secret in the world, I know it
There is a secret in the world, I know
There is a secret in the world, I saw it
Dressed as a sexy lemon pie, I know
Everywhere you go, I’m going
Everywhere you go, I go
There were no secrets in your eyes, I know it
There were no secrets in those eyes, I know
You took your clothes off and, at last, I saw it
It happened really fast and really slow
Now, Everywhere you go, I’m going
Everywhere you go, I go

Son Of A Playboy Bunny

The light gave its way to the darkness
The sun gave its place to the moon
And I wait your milk like the child of a woman
Who left with Hugh Hefner to score pure cocaine in Peru

Swimming

Swimming in the water took a dire turn
The kind that’s not foreseen by tarot cards
“Help me, won’t you help me?” only deer and squirrels heard
Won’t somebody help this beautiful girl?
As she’s drifting, drifting in a fantasy world
And unconsciousness slides in
Like a hand that grips and never lets you go
Like a fresh breath into Adam’s lungs
To take all of his breaths off
I know of sins
But this is a lot
I know of sins but this one crossed the line
Swimming in bikinis, just to take them off in five
Minutes in the water’s chilling, otherworld embrace
Someone should’ve told her that from all who left that night
She had the most picturesque passing
Boyfriends, secret lovers, neighbors drooling after her
They should just settle for wet dreams
And a truth so violently bludgeoned in their hearts
Every child is a mistake
Every breath is a mistake
Every sense is a mistake
Your ambition’s a mistake

Are you all right my friend?
If I may call you so
I heard you won at last
I always knew you would
Some winters never leave I know
They bury everything with snow
Some winters never leave but please
Let this one go
Are you all right my friend?
Still trading springtime with the breeze
To them December seems so harsh
But we both know how warm it is
Some winters never leave I know
They bury everything with snow
Some winters never leave but please
Let this one go
It started out as fun
But flagellation is never fun and I
I cannot take it anymore

One Shiny Day
01:02

|

Life has been scary
And unnecessarily
Difficult for you so far
Every decision
Was like circumcision
Not to your dick but your heart
Cause pain is a finance
That breeds through silence
As deaf as a golden charade
The fates clearly told you
That no one can hold you
You are alone in your crusade
Hey, hey, hey
There may come a shiny day
When we’ll be laughing with our hearts
With beauty flowing in our lungs
When all the darkness and the fear
Will turn to dust and disappear
Like a chariot into the stars
