Christmas Eve
01:14

Found you in the chimney
You made my night
Baby, you're a dream
You're growing on me
I said
It's good to see you in town again
I know this New York girl
She'd be perfect for you
She's a maniac
She'll play you like an angel plays a new harp
But you're not in town for long
Three shots fired in Atlanta as you danced
And you fell to the ground like a broken kangaroo
We were all just getting to know you
But when the sounds from the stage rage and race and haunt all soldiers
And the wild heroin prophets and Lithium dreamers
Command this bizarre machine like a wolf motel
The animals of the town come to drive the dancers around
And tonight
You died in the back seat

Positively Jersey Street

From under Fourth Street
John S. Hall floats up the light river over the living room
Into the half-eaten ear of a perennial lush
Every day
I quaked like a death raga
Riveted by the arriving flesh-scent of lost men
Every man in New York City has conduct disorder
Everyone is shwasted by nine
I am a channel
I'm walking up East Houston Street and channeling an angel
Excuse me
Do you know the way to the library?
You know
The library on Jersey Street
You know
It’s an alley
But it's a street
I am a channel
I'm channeling an angel
And walking up East Houston Street

Winter Spring

It's a face
I'm lookin' in the mirror
I'm looking at a face
Get out of the woods
It's a face
I'm lookin' in the mirror
It's just a face
Get out of the woods
Get out
You think you're gonna last
In this game of danger
Leave behind your number and move on
He's a 6
He's lookin' in the mirror
He's gonna start a fire
'Cause he's the fire man
Get out of the woods
Watch out
These warriors won't spar
With anything that's really out there
They just can't be bothered to care
And they're afraid of the holes in the walls
She's an 8
She's lookin' in the mirror
She's talkin' to her doctor
The doctor is a quack
She's gonna cut him open with a cleaver
She's gonna slice his eyes with a circular saw
And then she's gonna kill him
She's gonna paint his lab coat red
She is the chief of police in Paralysis Town
She's gonna make a lot of money
She's gonna flee the flee the country
It's the American dream
It's the American dream
It's the American dream
It's the American dream

You're on my Land
02:57

I'm gonna burn your metronome
Music knows no BPM
I'm the heartbeat now
I'm gonna make my rhythm your prison
Gonna lock you into the groove

Bellevue Insomnia Blues
01:43
|
|||
I'm standing in the corner
With my heart in my hand
You told me I'm completely insane
Playin' in a one man rock and roll band
But I'm just a freak
I'm standin' in the corner
I'm a Lou Reed knock-off
I haven't slept in weeks
So I'm standing in the corner
Talkin' to you
You say you came out of the spaceship
That crash landed on Myrtle Avenue
I spent two decades at a party
I didn't have a clue
That all I really wanna do is make love to you all night

Strange Voices
01:42
|
|||
Get out
We're gonna make it through this convoluted chapter
Leave behind your number and move on
Watch out
Strange voices in this town can't wait to slice us open
Any day now
Any way now
We'd better watch our backs
