Two Ton Boa 05:12
My heart is floating in a seasick bag of meat My will is broken and my tongue has lost her feet My throat unravels spilling out this hopeless cancer It feels so nice to be a dope sick topless dancer This train rolls on crushing landscape like a tank It sighs and breathes like an animal in heat I laugh and point at the track marks in the grass Gouged out dead rivers spelling out our epitaph I wore your love like a two ton diamond boa I liked you my pet draped around my fragile neck Your serpent tail was flailing trapped inside my velvet oven One slip times twenty and we exploded into Nothing My skirt is rising covering me and all of my lies A black tornado sucking me into the sky I wear these blinders as I await my favorite mass Your holy ghost trapped inside the TV glass

She’s an eight ball She’s rolling faster than a whitewall She’s got an avalanche packed in a snowball She’s losing all her leeches like a stonewall...she’s loaded up She’s the underdog Gonna take a mighty swipe at the high hogs While they’re sipping on their tricks in a thick fog Making eyes at the girls like bullfrogs...i’m telling you sir She’s coming up from, coming up from, Comin’ up, coming up from behind, yeah! She’s coming up from, coming up from, coming up Coming up from behind You’d like her hanging Like a sneaker on a live wire dangling While your wall street pockets are jangling With the hollow jackpot of your rich kid games It’s a longshot She’s got the truth and her tongue for a slingshot But she’s taking steady aim at the big shots It’s hard to miss the ruling bullies on the blacktop... You better pocket your turf She’s coming up from behind You had her hanging Like a sneaker on a live wire dangling While your gold lined pockets were jangling With the hollow jackpot of your wretched games She caught your sick lie It was creeping in the shadow of your white smile Lurking underneath the cover of your bedroom eyes Were you greasing up plans for your small fry? You want her talking up to you Where you float like a royal balloon-o Your ego swollen to the size of the moon...well I think you found somebody to cut you down to size!

Have Mercy 05:09
Who could tell? You can’t smell poison in a perfumed well So I fell Into a softly padded empty shell Forged in hell Bought by you to sell I was high But I remember when you treated me fine So unkind You broke my cellar and you drank my wine Now same in kind The curse once yours is mine Oh baby Can’t you see what you’ve done to me? Have mercy on me I’ve clung to the glove That your hand slipped out of Empty as the love I mistook for a gift from above Wrapped in flesh I toss and turn upon this concrete bed Bathed in red I scrape for reasons but they turn to lead And rot instead Like a landfill in my head Oh baby Can’t you feel what you’ve done to me? Have mercy on me I’m still clutching the glove That your hand slipped out of It’s black as the love I mistook for a gift from above --------------------------------------------------
