Burn and shine, son
And keep your spirit clean
For this is not a dress rehersal
Junior Phoenix
With your ash-filled eyes
Who will harbor your misfortune
Your mother says your father says
He does not want to tell you
(As if he didn't know you)
Behind the lighthouse
There's still the hole you made
Better fill it in or it will get you
So talcum powder
Is now your closest friend
Smooth and white and ordinary
Your father says your mother says
She does not want to tell you
(As if she didn't know you)
(And in the dream everyone is holding hands
in a circle and you heal...)
Do you remember
The taste of pemmican?
Then say hello to Hiawatha
She's still frowning
At your puffy face
Overweight and barely breathing?
No one ever said a word
They did not want to tell you
As if they didn't know you
As if they didn't know you
As if they didn't know you
Burn and shine
You burn and shine..

Daily
Mutilation
We were just a pair of dice when I let you in
And the numbers were aligned as the wheel grinned
And the center of your eyes was a lucid lake
And the little trust you gave was a big mistake
It's a daily mutilation as I walk along with you
A daily mutilation and a bludgeoning review
A daily mutilation and I'd like to see it through
But a daily mutilation
A daily mutilation just won't do
And the water doesn't work and the pipes are iced
And the bread is full of holes and it's never sliced
And your kindly downward stares live in a weather vane
And the wind would like to know who's going to cut the
vein
It's a daily mutilation as I walk along with you
A daily and a bloody shade of blue
Extra, extra, bleed all about it
Bleed all about it
You're
The Beatiful One

World
It's another detachment
Same arrangment, different placement
I'm the saddest of moments
All alone in my unspoken
I was dying to feel you
To be in you, and to feel you
I was grieving the distance
Realizing my insistence
And I see the only real I know I feel I have it all
You are the world, you are the world
You're the only world
We were such an amazement
When I found you in the basement
Spent a night on the ceiling
What a feeling, what a feeling

YOU BACK IN TIME

Throwaway
I remember giving up the gory details
And it left me tongue-tied (such an elementary sickness)
Now I don't want to think and I don't want to feel
I wasn't aware that this was part of the deal
When I put my finger on a greater expectation
But just my luck, I lack the patience of a statesman
And all of my language will fail to convey
That I'm terribly twisted around what I say
And the message I threw away
So I keep hiding and it only grows to hurt me
But time is wasting and I'm watching it desert me
I'm digging a hole and I'm making it deep
And I'm starting to question the hours that I keep
And the answer that I put to sleep
And so I'm writing with the hope that someone's reading
For all to likely runs the risk of me repeating
But I don't have the guts to prevent the decay
And I'm terribly twisted around what I say
And the courage that I threw away
I don't have it now
SAD
TO BE AWARE

Everybody
is a Fucking Liar
Everyone I know is trying to get into this show
Everybody is a fucking liar
Time and time again
Whoever's in the room is your friend
There's no mercy here
A mercy killing of abject fear
Act brave in the press
Conventionality's what I detest
And you who reject masculinity:
Baby, I'm with you
As soon as you forsake virility and aggression too
Back off in disgust
Must honesty jeopardize trust?
Is everybody such a fucking liar?
Damsels in dismay
A man's an Edsel in his own way
And just as God in his his infinate infancy thinks he's
in control
That's when God in his infinate infamy
Decides to damn our souls
Let's throw it all in
And think of places to back up & begin
To build something higher
So you think you're pretty cool
The exception to the rule
As the keeper of the fuel
You should've known
It wouldn't last you
And you're hardly getting wise
To the problems you surmise
As the lightning leaves your eyes
You should've known
It wouldn't last you
And the hours fly
As the demons play
And you're paralyzed
When did it begin?
When you started to give in
To the prickle of the pin
You should've known
It wouldn't last you
And you think you know the score
As you shut another door
You search around for more
You should've known
It wouldn't last you
Such a sad demise
For your saving grace
Now you realize...
Somehow everything will
Somehow everything will
Be a little different than you thought
Somehow everything will
Somehow everything will
Be a little different than you thought
The lights are fading low
The candle losing glow
And who are you to know
You should've known
It wouldn't last you
Now you lock yourself inside
And you do your best to hide
On a roller coaster ride
You should've known
It wouldn't last you
Somehow everything will
Somehow everything will
Be a little different than you thought
Somehow everything will
Somehow everything will
Be a little different than you thought
Fight
it (if You Want)
There isn't time to tell you all you need to know
But I get as scared as any and I wish it wasn't so
And I don't like it
Anymore than you do
But you'd better hold in spite of doubt
Left swinging to the right
Never lose what you found out
You can fight it if it doesn't kill you
You can fight it if you want to fight...
We're going to make a listing of all the things we don't
need
And then we will ween them slowly, all the fears we feed
But you'd better hold in spite of doubt
Sense swinging out of sight
OH
MICHAEL
