Staying Alive

Staying Alive (BeeGees cover)

i was a landmass 
i was seeping seething 
locks of seaweed grass 

i was a landmass 
i was beautiful boobed 
a mountain pass 

i was a landmass 
and floating

Make This Break This

Landmass

i just dropped you off 
on your block 
you don't want to talk 
you don’t want to not talk 
you were easy like easy 
and hard like hard 
i should have never 
taken it this far 
cuz you're just sort of mean 
all caught up in some scene 
and i had this translucent dream 
that you could drop it 
as easy as you dropped your drawers 
on the other side of my door 
i knew i could unstone you 
but what for

Stone

something's done 
something's lost 

something won 
something cost 

now it rains 
try to wash 

now it's grey 
where color was 

once again 
i feel lost 

bought the dream 
forgot the cost 

now your house 
is torn and tossed 

all these years 
you've lived that loss 

the road is dark 
it can be long 

never home 
to sing your song 

head into headlights 
home is sound 

ride 
until we're found 

i guess 
i'll be moving on 

forget the hand 
you counted on 

breach of trust 
breath of fear 

the rain 
is the only thing 
that's clear

The Rain Is The Only Thing That's Clear

What if I lost you 
what if the tide came in 
and washed away 
all of our footprints 

What if this is us--left 
because that's the way we turned 
and then no going back 
that's cruel and that's fact 
there's heavy in back 
and that's you 
and that's that 

What if love doesn't multiply 
it just subtracts? 
Scratches its fear on my face 
and marks me like that 

leaves trails of seasons 
but nothing to replace 
leaves fallen 
veins collapse 
leave me something sweet love 
leave me something sweet love 

a house that doesn't shake 
a mouth that doesn't fake 
a shout that doesn't make 

a house that doesn't shake 
a mouth that doesn't fake 
a shell that doesn't break 

these are the things i need 

Now it's raining on my roof 
and a train goes by like truth 
loud, then off to distance 

Am I always chasing down a track 
trying not to, but always looking back 
all hands all heavy with attack 
and what I lack 
and that's you 
and that's that 

There's no going back 
that's cruel and that's fact 
there's heavy in back 
and that's you 
and that's that

Lost You

There's lightning 
across the yard 
it's brewing like i am 
it makes me mad 
when you don't just 
speak up 

crickets fight 
the train sounds 
and thunder 
wins it all 

the whole sky's 
about to open up 
and so am I 

The rain is getting harder 
and the wind picks up speed 
you can hold a lot of things 
but you can't hold me 

the whole sky's 
about to open up 
and so am I 

Now I see 
all the house-lights go up 
you're about to turn it all off 
it's just like she says, 
"the spirit is law" 

so I'll hold fast to the mother 
she turns me around 

I'll hold fast to the mother 
she turns us all around 

hold fast to the mother 
she turns us around 
hold fast to the mother 
she turns us around 

the whole sky's 
about to open up 
and so am I

Open Up

I drove over that whole bridge 
Just to get some air on my face 
The entire New York landmass 
Buzzed by me like a race 

(landmass of manmade 
polluted river where I wade) 

Cough you up 
I can’t count on you anymore 

I was the bridge baby 
And you were the troubled water 
I was stretched over you 
Strong and steel 
I was over you 
But only barely 
And that scares me 

Point your bullet never shoot 
Cock my head before you do 
I suck on the smoke til I almost choke 
That’s the truth 

(I’m in this screaming city baby 
you keep coming back for more) 

cough you up 
I can’t cut through you anymore 

You just keep coming back for more

THE WAY WE MAKE OURSELVES UP 
THE WAY WE SHRINK OURSELVES 
THE WAY WE PUT UP

In Us We Trust

Bitch (from Bitch and Animal, Shortbus) is back with a new collection of songs, including an epic video for her pop anthem, "New Year," released in January 2019.  "Easy Target" released on June 13th, is an uplifting ballad that speaks to finding your own self-worth.  

Armed with her unusual instrumentation of electric violin, keytar, ukulele and bass, Bitch’s live show combines epic dance-y tunes as well as tender, intimate, stripped-down songs. 

Bitch is no stranger to the stage. As on half of the duo Bitch and Animal, she released 3 albums (including two on Ani DiFranco’s Righteous Babe Records). After going solo, she put out an album via Kill Rock Stars, three on her own imprint (Short Story Records), and also starred as herself in Shortbus (the 2006 feature film from Hedwig and the Angry Inch’s John Cameron Mitchell). Bitch has collaborated with her elder and folk idol Ferron, producing two of the singer’s albums. She has co-written a song with Margaret Cho, and before starting her own career, studied fiddle with Andrew Bird. 

For Bitch, “New Year” and “Easy Target” mark the start of a new chapter in a life guided by musical passion. We  will see more single releases from Bitch this year, moving into her new sound that she affectionately calls “poet pop.”
