Beauty Queen/Horses
|
|
'Beauty Queen' She's a beauty queen my sweet bean bag in the street take it down to the laundry scene don't know why she's in my hand can't figure what it is but I lie again 'Horses' I got me some horses to ride on to ride on they say that your demons can't go there so I got me some horses to ride on to ride on As long as your army keeps perfectly still and maybe I'll find me a sailor a tailor and maybe together we'll make mother well so I got me some horses to ride on to ride on as long as your army keeps perfectly still you showed me the meadow and Milkwood and Silkwood and you would if I would but you never would so I chased down your posies your pansies in my hosies then opened my hands and they were empty then off with Superfly sniffing a Sharpie pen honey it's Bill and Ben off with Superfly counting your bees oh me honey like one two three the camera is rolling it's easy like one two three and if there is a way to find you I will find you but will you find me if Neil makes me a tree an afro a pharaoh I can't go you said so and threads that are golden don't break easily |

Blood Roses

Blood roses Blood roses Back on the street now can't forget the things you never said on days like these gets me thinking when chickens get a taste of your meat chickens get a taste of your meat you gave him your blood and your warm little diamond he likes killing you after you're dead you think I'm a queer I think you're a queer I think you're a queer Said I think you're a queer and I shaved every place where you been I shaved every place where you been God knows I know I've thrown away those graces the Belle of New Orleans tried to show me once how to tango wrapped around your feet wrapped around like good little roses Blood roses Blood roses Back on the street now now you've cut out the flute from the throat of the loon at least when you cry now he can't hear you when chickens get a taste of your meat when he sucks you deep sometimes you're nothing but meat |

had me a trick and a kick and your message well you'll never gain weight from a doughnut hole then thought that I could decipher your message there's no one here dear no one at all and if I'm wasting all your time this time maybe you never learned to take and if I'm hanging on to your shade I guess I'm way beyond the pale and southern men can grow gold can grow pertty blood can be pertty like a delicate man copper to steel to a hinge that is faltered that let's you in let's you in let's you in something's just keeping you numb you told me last night you were a sun now with your very own devoted satellite happy for you and I am sure that I hate you too sons too many too many able fires and if I'm wasting all your time this time I think you never learned to take and if I'm hanging on to your shade I guess I'm way beyond the pale |
