Folks Back Home

Tell your folks at home
not to worry
tell your folks
I am doing
just all right
I’ve got a pair
of shoes
to wear in winter
I’ve got two cats
to keep me
warm at night
I shovelled dirt
I moved
about a mountain
I train hard
To show them
what I’m worth.
You may say
there’s a virtue
in patience
with forces of nature
or people
at their worst.
*hold your horses
*turn the tide
Tell your folks at home
not to worry
tell your folks
I’m doing
just all right
I traded wine
cigarettes
and rations
to buy Anna
a proper
winter coat.
La da di da
you may hear me
singing
you may hear me
wailing
in the night.
You may say
it’s forces of nature
But is there a beast
worse than my own kind.
*hold your horses
*turn the tide

Pantone
04:39

To say I’m blue
Is an understatement
Even pitch black
failed to deliver.
With all the greenery
everywhere
I’m a red deer
burning in your shadow.
And when you said
We’re on a different wavelength
I slowly faded
Off the visible spectrum.
No royal sheen
Or silver lining.
Just iridescence and veneer.
so beautiful
irresistible
so unmatched
Pantone while you can
so beautiful
irresistible
quite unmatched
Pantone while…
For drunk tank pink
I’m way too sober
Electric lime
says the spark’s dearly missing
So buy a ticket
to the unicorn range
Take the tan line
Wear all your jades
Lock in the white point
but the white point
is a point of no return.
so beautiful
irresistible you know
so unmatchable
Pantone while you can.
Like two birds of the feather
that just wont flock together
Foul chemistry
Pantone while…
So now you get on while you can
Wearing your carbon and your leather
And it seems absolutely fine
To roam your Rome so high
High on your black wine.
Oh honeyguide
Pantone while you can.
Oh honeyguide
I know you do what you can
Like two birds of the feather
You just pantone while you can.

Face of Fear
04:17

I once saw a butcher
cut the throat of a goose
(and bleed it on the floor.)
I tried to cry out
but the joy in his face
(forced the cry back into me.)
The glitter of the knife
has raised her to the skies
(as the insides uncoiled.)
It’s this cry, I wanted rid of
in vain, as I painted
all the dead fowl.
A piece of wood
A piece of bone
A piece of clay
A piece of horn
It’s a face of fear
Constellations I can see
A man with a sword
A man with a spear
It’s a face of fear
Constellations disappear
A beautiful golden time piece.
You put two dead birds on a plate
You call it art
Who do you think you are
(To destroy this masterpiece!)
A gaping body
Flayed carcass of a cow
(Soutine, it’s a crime!)
Plucked of the feathers
hung by a rope
(Death for you, life for me.)
A piece of wood
A piece of bone
A piece of horn
A piece of dirt
It’s a face of fear
Constellations I can see
A beautiful golden time piece.
