HOT CAUGHT
and it’s working, its so tropical
gushing, with no seeds
we don’t get tired, our hands stay soft
and you’re all that I see when he’s not with me
when you get hot caught, when you get hot caught
when you get hot caught, that’s when you’ll come
I wanna come over too, I love that beach
and the fires they build, they’re so orange
blazing, like those horses do
when they’ve got a race to lose
I like women, I like mannequins
and I don’t build fires for myself
I’m a chimney sweep cleaning up the mess
it’s too gray ashed, too gray ashed,
it’s too gray
when you get hot caught, when you get hot caught
when you get hot caught, that’s when you’ll come

ALL OF MY GUARDIANS
drop my hands off in the fire
drop my arms off in the fire
and I don’t know if you’re going to go
I don’t know if you’re going to take me too,
take me too
I’ve got grass stains on my knees
from the way you dragged me across the lake
I was just waiting for it to change
and I’ll keep praying but I’m not going
werewolf you wear me out
I’ve got knots in, under my skin
from the way you pushed hard down on the ice
I was just skating for it to change
and I’ll keep praying, but i’m not going
and I’ll rip it off, I’ll take your tag
you summon on, like I never had
and I don’t know, if you’re going to take me too
I don’t know if you’re going to take me too,
take me too
werewolf you wear me out
I’'ve rubber tires as my teeth
the others fallen down, from where you kicked me
my mouth drives trucks now, if you didn't know
and yes they're charging
all of my guardians all my groves

THE ALL BEST
two can make it up, it’s the last time to
be destructive, it’s the all best
into the hush hush tights
it’s the best goal to stick to
it’s a temptress ever after
good luck, you'll need some
very good luck
into mind it starts, that we caught after
it’s the anxious way to be had
into the hush hush tights
it’s the best goal to stick to
it’s a temptress ever after
good luck, you'll need a sistine

GEORGIA
babies I hate to be the one who knows
that dr. president wants to take your fingers for dollars
this little piggy goes to the diamond market
this little piggy goes to the butcher shop
this little pig goes to a pair of sneakers
made by a baby just like you
yeah your momma’s probably going to cry
and your daddy will protect you, well he’ll try
but how can you hide from the dragons of destruction?
how little kids they just don’t realize
the price of their extinction
can help to drive all the cars
on the freeways of the world
they’ll trade a baby for a lap dance
they’ll trade a baby for a double latte
they’ll trade a baby for a new car
a baby for a facelift for your wife
it’s not a hold on to your hat, kids,
it’s a hold on to your homes
because the moths have arrived
they want to eat through your clothes
surrounding your schools because
they want you to learn
their dinner party’s tonight
all eyes on the caviar ‘cause they like little eggs
the younger the feed, the better it gets
because the youngest feed is the future of the enemies
they’ll trade a finger for a fur coat
they’ll trade a finger for a cut and blow dry
they’ll trade a finger for a silk scarf
a finger for a hamburger with fries
one day you should ask yourself a question
would you give up your hand for a handful of lives?
would you give up your tongue for a mouthful of voices?
would you give a glass of blood to help someone survive?
or do you give yourself over to a country, a country of
hot country

ICE LIFE
cookies baked with cutters, cookie cutters pull the shutters
over eyes that dare to flutter beneath sheets under the covers
my lashes blink like razors cutting through the down filled pillows
ripping feathers through the bedroom like a secret slumber party
out of the oven comes the cookies
perfectly uniformed tucked and bowing
to the labels, to the suits
to the television hands and knees, screaming
‘cause I am the snowman, I’m the abominable snowman
my tummy’s big and white so I can plow you over and over
my arms are sticks, my hands are mitts ‘cause I’m the abominable snowman
watch your fires, watch your pits ‘cause I will freeze you like hell freezing over
lying in the sunbed makeup
melting off like globs off icing
is anyone watching?
‘cause I’m so hungry, I lick me fingers,
I lick my fingers my fingers of icing
take your SAT’s take your ACT’s
let ‘em standardize, standardize test you
here’s a vogue magazine, go upstairs and study
the test date is tomorrow
(((hawk can, hawk can bend, hawk can see
I cannot straighten my esses
distants say they say it's asking season
I'll take my plate over there
for all I can see I'd rather take it raw
don't give a rat's head if it's alright, it's awry)))
have you done your reps? have you changed your hair?
have you changed your mind? there’s nail polish everywhere
‘cause I am the snowman, I’m the abominable snowman
my tummy’s big and white so I can plow you over and over
my arms are sticks, my hands are mitts ‘cause I’m the abominable snowman
watch your fires, watch your pits ‘cause I will freeze you like hell freezing over
all the good things that don't come back to us
it don't know how to be the expert all claw

It's a Fortress

IT’S A FORTRESS
take me out for a treat, because I’m useless with rings
long gloved accessory- just a cover for stitches
but it’s a fortress, the one they talk about
and the ribbons are long, so you can tie them down
it’s the necktie, that they scream about
you cannot crow like the others ‘cause they’re calling you and you saw
you cannot crow, for the like, for the like
undress me, don’t take it off
I’ve got thorns there, under my stockings
stockings, roll them down
I’ve got a secret, bend down,
but it’s a fortress, the one they talk about
and the ribbons are long, so you can tie them down
it’s the necktie, that they scream about
you cannot crow like the others ‘cause they’re calling you and you saw
you cannot crow, for the like, for the like
go sore, go sorer

MOISTURIZER (WHEAT CALLS)
going to the guesthouse, gonna write it all down
lie on the kitchen floor and sharpen the knives
the sun's out today like it was yesterday, can't even keep my eyes half open
someone turned out the lights, someone turned out the lights
my face is itchy all the time
the hostess is thirsty from breaking the stories
her mouth's full of salt and she can't find the water
put up your hair, put up your hands, drink a bottle of hand sanitizer
it won't let you down, it won't let you down
my face is itchy
all the time my face is itchy
all the time
you've got to moisturize her, caulk up the lines
don't let anyone know how long you've been here
moisturizer, caulk up the lines
don't let anyone know how long it's been

ONE LARK
one lark or another you’re going to find
one lark or another
going to cut it together it will be fine
going to cut it together
going to keep it in my locket for the cost of the storage
going to keep it in my locket
one lark or
one lark or
I got harder and you got deeper in my spine the sword is sticking out
inseam it’s in the inseam and though I’ve cut you, please do not cut me
keep digging for diamonds for all those hands
keep digging for diamonds
they get all righteous we won’'t defend
they get all righteous
going to keep it in my locket for the cost of the storage
one lark or
one lark or
I got harder and you got deeper in my spine the sword is sticking out
inseam it’s in the inseam and though I’ve cut you,
please do not cut me
getting all ripe, 'cause it's the wildest way it seems to be cashed out cashed out
dust like, cashed out and softening
won’t stay soft for the weakest

TIGHT SCORE
hey can you tell me how she's doing
hey can you tell me
how she's doing
you know you know
white daughter's got the tight score
hey doesn't she wanna know I haven't been to work in seven days
hey doesn't she care the bathmat's filling up
you know you know
white daughter's got the tight score
a rolling stone gathers its clothes and pushes out the door
don't bother changing the locks
a rolling stone gathers up speed once it kicks itself free
don't think it's all your fault
you can operate on me
all the things they say alone
you can operate on me
you can't wait to cut me up
all the things that are alone
you can't wait to cut me up
(I know she put you through the most hair-raising times
but you came out fine, yeah you came out fine)
hey can you tell me where she's gone
hey can you tell me where she's gone
you know you know
white daughter's got the tight score
you can operate on me
all the things they say alone
you can operate on me
you can't wait to cut me up
all the things that are alone
you can't wait to cut me up
(I know she put you through the most hair-raising times
but you came out fine)

Coast That's Closest

COAST THAT’S CLOSEST
steal those days in nets
swept up with violence
cage, caught up and locked
flat crow pressed in the pages
he’s the hardest, hardest ghost I know
he’s white, like a phantom
wasn’t through when the sand ran out
like to work my fingers to the bone
treadmill me till the white pokes out
pick the coast that’s closest
(((all the scattered
times when
up like dried ice
all the islands ended
pick the closest)))
rummage through the leaves
you’ll find fire in the pile
and lift the veil for all to see
you’ll find coat hanger heartache
he’s the hardest, hardest ghost I know
he’s white, like a phantom
wasn’t through when the sand ran out
like to work my fingers to the bone
treadmill me till the white pokes out
pick the coast that’s closest
pick the coast that’s closest

WE WERE FIGS
you sense I’m half there, and you’re right
it dreams like hot times
are we miraging? are we oasis?
q q the desert
tell the task to do it, uncut sawed up
that severed skull is not the only one
to be honest there's no dead half to compete with
all one
palm springs is harmony
and it’s so right
count the sand castle
cracked nails and score
cracked nails and scorpion
you are the hole in one
tell the task to do it, uncut sawed up
that severed skull is not the only one
to be honest there's no dead half to compete with
all one
the hard grows into another one to another one
cannot finish no, we’re not the hidden land
turn on the other one, into another one
it's another one, we're not the hidden land

eagle and talon Los Angeles, California
