STATE OF EMERGENCY
April 2015
A little trickle, just a tiny spill
Started in her mouth, now it’s rolling down the hill.
Great waste, this whole place… wreckage… send her a bill.
Filling in the cracks, spreading through the ground
No one knew [just] how this would go down
Fine mess, this test….[Are we] happy now?
She likes to leave a wake, a scar in the charred earth.
It makes her high……. It makes her high…….
It makes her high……. It makes her high…….
[Send some relief… ]
She lit a match, dropped it down the hole.
Didn’t know what she was doing at all.
Deep space, the world shakes….brace yourself…. It takes a toll.
She likes to leave a wake, a scar in the charred earth.
It makes her high……. It makes her high…….
It makes her high……. It makes her high…….meanwhile:
Cold is gripping the region. Fear is gripping the nation
She’s got a constant sensation that’s wearing her down…
And down and down into the ground.
SEND SOME RELIEF. DISASTER RELIEF.
SEND SOME RELIEF. DISASTER RELIEF.
SEND SOME RELIEF. DISASTER RELIEF.
SEND SOME RELIEF. DISASTER RELIEF.

Faux Tableaux
FEB 2015
do do do do
I hear you want some sunshine. And some kisses too.
Should I add a unicorn, or a heart tattoo?
Put them in a painting, the world you want to see.
Modern homes and swimming pools. Just for you and me.
Rows and rows of manicured hedges
Tilting and leaning toward perilous ledges
Winding roads run right off the edges
Don’t like what you see? …and if you don’t like what you see….
I’ll wipe it away Start all over again.
do do do do
Have you ever seen a rainbow, melt across the sky?
Soldiers gaze at waterfalls, longing not to die.
It’s all in a painting, one that you should see
There clouds are ruling triumphantly
Flattened worlds with cockeyed perspective,
Truth contained in queries of ‘what is…?”
Desire reigns in moments of ‘what if…?”
( OUTRO):
Faux Tableau set aglow by my desire to make you see
just how much you in fact
need me.

GRETTISGATA GO
MARCH 2015
Gretta’s got a long walk home tonight, passing
Strangers in the road, noticing
Nothing that’s not inside her head beyond
The tip of her nose.
SHE RUNS LIKE A RIVER…..SHE RUNS ………..
SHE RUNS LIKE A RIVER…..SHE RUNS.
AND YOU CAN’T TELL A RIVER WHICH WAY TO FLOW...
GRETTA’S…. GOTTA…. GO
Gretta’s got a bad attitude that bleeds into
Everything she does, spilling
All over everything and every one…..
One look from her could really melt the sun
Gretta’s got a longing and ripped black stockings
She feels all through her day. She leaves
Lights on and engines running,
With no one around to undo
The damage she’s done
Gretta’s got a guy she found online, and she’s
Busier than ever before. So….

LEMON
DEC 2014
Sometimes I’m yellow.
Sometimes I’m green
Sometimes i feel like a broken machine
That’s OK. My skin is thick.
I’m used to it now, i know it makes you sick
CHORUS:
PUT AWAY YOUR TOOLBOX, THERE’S NOTHING TO DO.
I DON’T WANT HEAR YOU SAY,’I CAN FIX YOU’.
CAUSE THIS IS WHAT I GOT,
HANGIN IN MY TREE
I’M YOUR LOCAL LEMON, BABY...... I COME WITH NO WARRANTEE.
Pucker up your lips,
Cause when you kiss me,
The taste inside your mouth will be sour, you’ll see.
Toss me away. But before you're done,
Throw a slice of me in your Ketel One.
NO REFUNDS…
NO RETURNS
NO REFUNDS…
NO RETURNS…….
.....................You get what you get, and you don’t get upset!

C'est La Vie

“C’est la vie”, she said, right of the top of her head
As she headed out in her canoe
“C’est la vie”, she said, as the storm brewed ahead
..Nothing better to do
“How much did she pay, and what did she do?
I haven’t heard from him in years
I’m pretty much over it i guess, I think you know the rest
There’s a lady in the room over there.
I had this speech in my head, I thought his son was dead
It is what it is, am I right? …Right!
Uckgh….. I’m sad
It doesn’t matter…I will see him again soon.
When it’s time to sell the Picasso.
That will be soon.”
“C’est la vie”, she said as the storm brewed ahead
..Nothing better to do

HEY
NOV 2014
CHORUS:
ARE YOU STILL ALIVE?
ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A DITCH TO DRIVE INTO?
YOU DIDN’T REALLY DISAPPEAR DID YOU?
ARE YOU STILL ALIVE?
When i close my eyes, i feel you there
Smell your hair as i stop and stare. At you.
How long, have you been gone?
I still have some air from when you used to care about me
when i walked away, i was unaware
You were unprepared as you stood and stared at me
So long have i been gone
You can steal my air from when i used to care about you.
BRIDGE:
I like to think you care
While you brush your hair and stare into your future
Don’t you worry about me, indeed. I bleed, but……
Look at me…
Look at me…
Look at me…
Are you still alive?
Are you looking for a ditch to drive into?
Look at me know that I'm not with you!
I'm still alive.. Hey….I’m still alive…..Hey i’m still alive……
