INVITATION TO A BEHEADING
The invitation to the earth’s beheading
Will take place much like any wedding
He’ll be father and give her away
To the slowly falling cosmic blade
The wedding rings are strapped on wrists
Ankles and necks, the law insists
There’s no one left to witness this
Or snap a shot or make a list
The end of uneventful things
Or just a skull with flapping wings
You’ve still got the top score i see
But that machine is history
Where have all the people gone
Dinner’s finally served now
There’s no way he can finish it alone
When did all this rubble stack up and cast a shadow
What’s the chance that nothing’s left
When time has come to wipe at all away
He at the dirt, he ate the flowers
He drank the juices and it multiplied his hours
Hey spider fighter, you a lover or a fighter
I don’t have a problem but my friend wants to kill you
Oh every time you see something on TV, you’re not there
Oh every photograph, light will turn it black - light will turn it black


BATMAN V. DRACULA
You stir up the soup my songbird
A muddy thing, a living briain
With coils of worms and ligaments of clay
Hey it spins like a dancer in the microwave
We’re like blood through the veins of the subway
And the turnstiles fondle us two times a day
Who planted that coffee you’re sipping
You feel bad but who gets the whipping
And how many flies are inside a spider
And how many spiders are inside a sparrow
And how many sparrows are inside a cat
How many sparrows are inside cat
And how many cats in a man
Nobody said it was easy
Tie your hands to the wheel and keep your eyes peeled
You can plow through racoons and those red lights too
Pray for peons below you
Pray for the worm that spin your silk
Is that the egg timer that’s ticking
Are your wrists getting stiff from the clicking


GOLDEN ALL NIGHT
Everybody sees your house on fire
Sleeping in the basement you don’t spy
That guy knocking down your back door
Breaking in your windows, it’s a war
Between the licks and crimson
Between the steam and dreamland
Between the men and black with axes
Ready to attack and bedtime
You see me I go the fire reflected in my eyes
I also recognize a ladder, it’s pointed to the sky
Who’s that up there, up there’s a man
He’s golden all night

I CAN HEAR THE PLANETS
Headlights - how does it feel to be right
Fire hydrants spraying out the water
You parked in front so sit on it
Just laugh and laugh
We know your soul is crying out for bath
In the night
In the daytime
In the twilight
Where the rubber sticks and tires mix
And oil rinse and pavement hits
There’s a third eye in your elbow
It winks when you say hello
Does it see me coming or just the fifth dimension
In that case I’ll tell you what
Just keep your eyes shut, listen up
I can hear the planets and it’s nothing that concerns us

HOW LONG CAN YOU KEEP YOUR EYES SHUT ON THE INTERSTATE?
Hello, my name is empanada turnover
We’ll overturn your idea of the way the world turns
Over under round about a million miles an hour
Oversoul is always standing in the same place
We’re never oversold so just wait your turn
How long can you keep your eyes shut on the interstate
I need an interview so state your interests - interesting
Well no it’s just that I thought I would stay true to you
And in the interim I’ll check off questions one and two
Like who are you and what do you do

Sections of the street - some say go and some say wait
Heart rate

Number of loves you fumigate
Failsafe, you’ll never be late
In fact you’ll never be early again

Or didn’t even if they tried
Never never never never never
Never never never never never
