Your gaze penetrates my body
Moves across an open boundary
A signal so electric 
Discordant but I kept it 
For the future
A time of pain and sutures
When I might need some pleasure
Travesties in extra measure
Super metaphysical 
And crazy wistful
Sleeping in my robot skin
And hoping for a freakish wind
To sail the shame
The spiders creeping in my veins
An absence so compelling

You know they
Tell me that you're dangerous
An isotope so monstrous
That gravity could not contain you
They system will not claim you
I want out of here
So pick me up I don't care where
Just put it to the fucking metal
You're the stamen you're the petal

Soon your head is going to puncture
All you're shit is going under
All the innocence you plundered 
In the place where you keep falling
All your enemies come calling
Stuck inside Saturnalia

And everybody wants you back 
But you're missing from the photograph
We took the day you crept away
Leperous and feeling psychosocial burns
Your crippled head so taciturn
Which you claimed was made of language
If that's true then
Suck the message from my lips
This steady heart longs to skip
And beat to you wicked drums
You're like a drug...

I know you're dangerous
An isotope so monstrous
That gravity could not contain you
They system will not claim you
I want out of here
So pick me up I don't care where
Just put it to the fucking metal
You're the stamen you're the petal

Soon your head is going to puncture
All you're shit is going under
All the innocence you plundered 
In the place where you keep falling
All your enemies come calling
Stuck inside Saturnalia

Gazer

Hanging on the man making it harder
You and your army of tigers
Miseries and ecstasies collide
You got girls on the moon
Love in the ruins 

Shaking clear
Wasted and near
It's getting colder
This new disorder
Watch yourself out there

You and me got reasons for running
Seasons turn California burns to nothing
Mysteries and augury collide

Shaking clear
Wasted and near
It's getting colder 
This new disorder
Watch yourself out there

The Ruins

Just shut up and dance
Yeah you're beautiful
You don't stand a chance
To Juniper

Jumps like a jaguar
When you're dreaming
She knows where you are
She's kicking your ass

Juniper

You don't have to ask
It belongs to you
Don't be the last 

Juniper

Juniper

There's something about you
I just want to do it
But you're scaring me
Oh you're so frightening 
Yeah yeah yeah
And your head
Makes it's so easy
You're so freaky
All I want is to hold you so
Hopelessly in trouble

Keep it simple
Those two little
Lumbar dimples
Yeah yeah yeah
But you're scaring me 
Oh you're so frightening 
And your head
Makes it so easy
You're so freaky 
All I want is to hold you so
Hopelessly in trouble

There's something about you

About You

I need to true my crooked ways
Where the canyons intersect
Something evil knows my name
I need to true my crooked ways

Left the morning of the fire
Wearing ash and dirty nails
When they asked me I just lied
Left the morning of the fire

Pull my body from the river
California makes me shiver
It feels like a conversation I don't need to have
Ten years flowing backwards somethings gonna crash
And we're never going back

Here beyond the fallout zone
I sleep deeper than a child
Dream of women with strong bones
Hairy men who watch the skies

I need to true my crooked ways
Where the canyons intersect
Something evil knows my name
Need to true my crooked

Pull my body from the river
California makes me shiver
It feels like a conversation I don't need to have
Ten years flowing backwards 
Something's gonna crash
And we're never going back

Bound Reclining Angel

I'll need you
For protection
Against vampires and elections
I'll need you
When it's quarter to four
And I've run out
Of metaphors

Don't remind me
Don't define me
Here and now
This bitter end
These hollow men
Choking on the present tense

I'll need you 
When the darkness settles
And the streets fill with broken rebels
I'll need you
When the sky starts falling
You know it's gonna start falling 
Cause it never stopped - falling

Don't remind me
Don't define me
Here and now
This bitter end
These hollow men
Choking on the present tense

Exoskeleton

I didn't mean it
Or maybe I did
It's hard to be sure
Who needs to be sure?

When snow covers the highway
What did that sign say?
Oh from our room
I see the moon
Moonlight on your face
The curvature of space
Around your waist
In these quiet days

My heart is breaking
I kept you waiting
Somewhere on Mars
Hey, there's a star....

Starlight on your face
The curvature of space
Around your waist
In these final days

Starlight on your face (I'm so messed up)
The curvature of space (I'm so meesed up)
Around your waist (I'm so messed up)
In these final days (I'm so messed up)
