Pure, White, & Deadly

[rev. Jan. 16, 2019]

Pure, white and deadly is my love
Oh, like a vicious knife she'll cut ya and hurt ya and ruin your life
Oh, like a plunging scar she'll jump in your brain and desex your heart
Swap you up and swab you up and lick your wounds when the bleeding starts

It doesn't matter if you shoot her or dream her
It doesn't matter if she's a girl or a man
It doesn't matter if you buy her or steal her
She's Christine Keeler, she's Peter Pan

Pure, white and deadly is my fear
Oh, like an angry man, lash her and slash her, and spoonfeed you sound
Oh, like a shooting star you'll fall out of sight and desex your eyes
Make him scream, make her dream, with a pack of lies

It doesn't matter if you shoot her or dream her
It doesn't matter if she's a girl or a man
It doesn't matter if you buy her or steal her
She's Christine Keeler, she's Peter Pan

Pure, white and deadly is my death
Oh, like an acid burn, hurting and flirting, always nearer your turn
In another day, in another year, like a dog at your throat
Tuning your voice, leave you no choice, there's no suicide note

It doesn't matter if you shoot her or dream her
It doesn't matter if she's a girl or a man
It doesn't matter if you buy her or steal her
She's Christine Keeler, she's Peter Pan

 

Going There And Back

[added Jan. 16, 2019]

Going there and back
Going there and back
Going there and back
Going there and back

Boy took a ride back to '72
Tried to get laid but he only got screwed
Everybody singing about all the young...
"All the young duuuuudes!"

Boy invents a modern drama
Soft crush lush and some guitar-a-rama
??? [0:50] image Hare Krishna, Hare Rama

Going there and back
Going there and back
Going there and back
Going there and back

In the hotel room where the TVs swoon
And all the walls have ears
As his mind expands, so with auto hands
He writes down all the years

Star has his moment when he gets back home
One night of glory inside the pleasure dome
Couldn't handle China and he fall within Rome

Starboard comes record but comes attacks us [2:05] on the run
Small boat on ??? [2:08] when he marries a nun
Somehow every star has it's place in the sun

'Cause he's going there and back
Going there and back
Going there and back
Going there and back

 

Madam Lash

[rev. Jan. 18, 2019]

Widow black leather, face deadly white
Oh Madam Lash, queen of the night
Creatures, dementoid, in the blue light

Madam Lash took her hand off her hip
Lying down screaming, biting my lip
She said, "Oh boy, you're gonna get my whip"

Madam Lash, Madam Lash
You hit me again I just know I'll crash
Madam Lash, Madam Lash
You hit me again I just know I'll crash

Beat me, bruise me, knock out my teeth
Masochistic freakout, dead on my feet
Pain is the pleasure, the pleasure is sweet

Oh no, not now, I can't take any more
Lying here alone, half dead on the floor
She said, "You're gonna get just what you paid for"

Madam Lash, Madam Lash
You hit me again I know I'll crash
Madam Lash, Madam Lash
You hit me again I know I'll crash

Widow black leather, face deadly white
Oh Madam Lash, queen of the night
Creatures, dementoid, in the blue light

Madam Lash, Madam Lash
You hit me again I just know I'll crash
Madam Lash, Madam Lash
You hit me again I just know I'll crash

 

Gettin' Away With Murder

[rev. Jan. 16, 2019]

I'm killing time and dyeing my hair
You gotta look chic to get anywhere
I get charisma injections
They keep me nearer to perfection

I'm gettin' away with murder
I'm gettin' away with murder
I'm gettin' away with murder
I'm gettin' away with murder

What's going on down the hall
The drummer's got my chick up against the wall
She doesn't know that he's diseased
I hope you feel very pleased

To get away with murder
To get away with murder
To get away with murder
To get away with murder

Just how long will we keep this up
I can't possibly tell
When I looked in the mirror just then
The guy in there said, "Get to Hell"

She's got a face to make you feel speedin'
She's like a page in a book that I'm readin'
She's a hawk and you're in her talons
But her face is owned by the salon

She's gettin' away with murder
She's gettin' away with murder
She's gettin' away with murder
She's gettin' away with murder

 

Put You On My Wall

[rev. Jan. 16, 2019]

I looked on page nineteen and there you were
Reclining on a bed and covered in fur
Delicately posed to reveal yet hide
Trapped on a page to show your best side

You got another name in this month's spread
I suppose all the glamour, it's going to your head
But I would never fold you, I told you I shan't
If I never get to heaven, you're the reason I can't

I'll put you on my wall, make sure you never fall
Though I might never meet you, I can keep you
And change you for a real girl when you call

Your face is in the window when I'm dreaming at night
And though I can resist it, it's not worth the fight
Your hairstyle is no-care style, hanging in one eye
Oh, won't you come alive-a, there's saliva on my tie

I'll put you on my wall, make sure you never fall
Though I might never meet you, I can keep you
And change you for a real girl when ya...

I'll put you on my wall, make sure you never fall
Though I never meet you, I can keep you
And change you for a real girl when you call

 

You're So Continental

[added Jan. 16, 2019]

You're so continental
You're so avant garde
You're so choosey-woosey
And you try so hard

You're so extra special
You're so very unique
You're so super-duper
And you always stay chic

Down in your yacht smoking a St Moritz
The rings a-flash 'round your fingertips
The suntan you spray on, clothes [0:47] be the way
And when they do all the sailors say

You're so continental
You're so on control [0:57]
You're so zowie-wowie
When you rock and roll

You're so continental
You're so wild at heart
You're so transcendental
You sure ain't no brat

Getting a facelift down in St. Tropez
You swear mo [1:32] night and you drink all day
You play roulette, you look ok
And when you do all the sailors say

You're so continental
You're so avant garde
You're so... ahhh
And you try so hard

You're so continental
You're so wild at heart
You're so transcendental
You sure ain't no brat

 

Zephyr

[added Jan. 16, 2019]

Well, I call ya zephyr 'cause you blow
And I call ya Jesus 'cause you know
Well I call you jungle 'cause you grow
Yeah I call ya zephyr 'cause you blow

Well, I call ya zephyr 'cause you're fine
And I call ya a mirror 'cause you shine
Well you're just an alligator baby cruisin' up the Nile
Yeah I call ya zephyr 'cause you're fine

Look up in the sky I thought I saw a shooting star-ar-ar oh yeah
Look up in the sky I thought I saw a shooting star
Look up in the sky I thought I saw a shooting star
Well if that don't get you you could ride inside my car

Well, I call ya zephyr 'cause you're bust
And I call ya future but you won't last
Well it's something very strange and it's coming out on your past
I call ya zephyr 'cause you're bust

Well, I call ya zephyr 'cause you blow
And I call ya Jesus 'cause you know
Well I call you jungle 'cause you grow
Yeah I call ya zephyr 'cause you blow

Look up in the sky I thought I saw a shooting star
Look up in the sky I thought I saw a shooting star-ar-ar yeah!
If that don't get you you could ride inside my car

 

She Thinks She's a Diamond

[added Jan. 16, 2019]

Well you can do your best
Or you can do your worst
That doesn't matter
That doesn't flatter her at all

Well you can come out like a giant
And then be so quiet
That doesn't scare her
She doesn't care if you're tall

Well you can dress yourself in culture
She'll dismiss you as a vulture
She's sure exclusive
She's so elusive and so adored

You can talk in incantations
Watch you whisper fascination
Oh there's no glory
In a story she spread before

Well you can do your best
Or you can do your worst
That doesn't matter
That doesn't flatter her at all

See, she thinks she's a diamond
You see, she thinks she's a cloud
See, she thinks out loud
She leaves me a clown

See, she thinks she's a diamond
See, she thinks she's a cloud
See, she thinks out loud
She leaves me a clown

See, she thinks she's a diamond
See, she thinks she's a cloud
See, she thinks out loud
She leaves me a clown

 

As Above And So Below

[added Jan. 16, 2019]

God never looked so lovely
On such a moonlit day
All milky incandescence
All girlish gaunt and grey

The world below him trembled
And cried out in its awe
The rivers turned to silver
The silver turned to war

His fate shone like a mirror
His light was like a glow
His haircut done in angel cake
As above then so below
As above then so below

Some others drank our Bibles [1:22]
Some took them to their beds
The future stood up and came alive
The TVs were all dead

The poets painted ballets
The sculptors sang in steel
The memory came a legend
The women became real

His fate shone like a mirror
His light was like a glow
His haircut done in angel cake
As above then so below
As above then so below

The poets painted ballets
The sculptors sang in steel
The memory came a legend
The women became real

His fate shone like a mirror
His light was like a glow
His haircut done in angel cake
As above then so below

His fate shone like a mirror
His light was like a glow
His haircut done in angel cake
As above then so below
As above then so below

Madam Lash (Alt Version)

[added Jan. 18, 2019]

Widow black leather, face deadly white
Oh Madam Lash, you're the queen of the night
Creatures, dementoid, in the blue light

Madam Lash took her hand off her hip
Lying down screaming, biting my lip
She said, "Oh boy, you're gonna taste my whip"

Madam Lash, Madam Lash
You are the flame, you are the ash
Madam Lash, Madam Lash
You hit me again I just know I'll crash

Beat me and bruise me, knock out my teeth
My blood hot and crimson, my tears turn to sleep
Pain is the pleasure, the pleasure is sweet

Oh no, not now, I can't take any more
Lying here alone on the floor
She said, "You're gonna get just what you paid for"

Madam Lash, Madam Lash
You are the flame, you are the ash
Madam Lash, Madam Lash
You hit me again I just know I'll crash

Widow black leather, face deadly white
Oh Madam Lash, you're a thing in the night
Creatures, dementoid, in the blue light

Madam Lash, Madam Lash
You are the flame, you are the ash
Madam Lash, Madam Lash
You hit me again I just know I'll crash
