Enthusiastic 03:07
when your smile tastes of copper can't drop the other shoe tuck your mind in your pocket do what you gotta do wipe away the acid dimwitted and enthusiastic is what passes for you oh the crazies waging words and all their waterloos the last thing that i heard be cool make the most of afterwards enjoy the follow through this is your end of the world do what you gotta do why are all the masses underdone and enthusiastic they're all passing on you debating, bating yours it's wrong but it'll do the last thing that i said be cool

fleeing foul weather caught in my head the return of memories I had left for dead of stomping feet & the devil’s wheeze ...left a shotgun loaded, lying on the sheets the days are faceless out in the street where numb, new Nothing will liberate me for ghosts & gods, for many of the few ...a half-pint religion has a lot of proof

Camelia 03:26
named after a southern State Flower she had a smile like a tractor tire and patted her side where she kept some snakes... in a suitcase made from a ribcage Camelia – in your night dance – will you bring me love Camelia – in your sweet trance – can you make me love for a potion or a roll of the bones go to the Parish of Cameron where Camelia conjures any cure... if the right Loa possesses her oh, for fortune or for health she sits on several spells or a mate for your gros bon ange no one can resist her charms I asked my Mambo for true love she burned the blood of a mourning dove incanted, quaked, and swallowed dirt... and that's when I knew... I was in love with her!

to uplift is our will o’ the wisp the glow of rot and weather opposites like fast & fist don’t live in now or never a high tooth has the rule of the roost smiles can be alive and it’s a ruse that fast and loose will lead to your demise won’t stop to think and there’s not one thing I know won’t struggle as an either-or I’m both saint and jackleg soul no outlay that’s the world of the way that's the friar’s lantern the system may be pay to play but life’s another matter won’t stop to think and there’s not one thing I know won’t struggle as an either-or I’m both saint and jackleg soul every fact is the back of the bat and loads left to suffer so when they say, ‘this or that’ choose both not either other won’t stop to think and there’s not one thing I know have we all been here before all us saints and jackleg souls?

we’re not as wicked as we seem we’re just livin’ in the wrong dream there’s still so much... that’s worth dyin’ for but there’s not much to believe and everything, it stretches my skin hey, and how ‘bout you smiling ragged in the sunshine I wonder what you’ll do when it’s time to let the fur fly we’re not as hopeless as we seem we’re just nestled in a daydream and if we don't know what we're missing how can we know where we've been while everything, it stretches my skin now, which one are you Moralize or Tongue-Tied? I’ll get my answer soon when it’s time to let the fur fly these ways are ill-conceived, they don’t exist for me i’m a man who's his village, who is only what he bleeds but everything, it stretches my skin every day, it stretches my skin

She caught my tooth with ring finger knuckle Cut the side of the top of the back of her hand Then we drove all night to the home in Kentucky Of the Justice of the Peace of the town of Beaver Dam Later that night in the dark hotel lobby Took a drink from a flask from a man from out east Soon we were plannin’ a daring bank robbery In the floor in the hall in our honeymoon suite It seemed a good way to pay for the wedding And the truck and the trailer and the bills all past due We consumated our marriage together Then over breakfast, over coffee, we had an overview I’d hold the clerks and tellers at gunpoint To take them to the back to tie up their arms The man from out east would bag up the money We’d get Darlin’ to get in the get-away car The heist would’ve worked except for one reason Down the street, down the block, down a short flight of steps Walked all of the cops of the 17th precinct To go to the bank to cash their paychecks So they all bust in and foil our stickup “On your knees, on the ground, on the double!” they said We dropped the bags without takin’ a nickle To the door, to the car, to the hideout we fled The cops gave pursuit and pulled at their triggers As quick as they could, as the car came around And they hit my poor wife, and wouldn’t it figure On the side of the top of the back of her hand. So the chase was all over, and the police were itchin’ To nail us, to jail us, to cell with two goons As far as my wife, well she won’t go to prison She ran off with the cop with the bags with the loot
