- Track Name: Panel of Experts
-
She puts on a good show; hung/juried on conjecture
by people who should know, by a panel of experts.
How can she expect anyone to respect her,
when she exhibits no class, but always stays for a lecture?
Oh Maryanne,
they've all got you in the palm of their hands.
You're wrapped round the fingers of total strangers
so tight, you're bound to lose again.
I just hope she makes the most of her neurosis:
dosin' it out, devoted to social Go Fish.
At least keep it sharp and know how to use it.
But remember where it's hid, and you're sure gonna lose it.
Oh, I can't stop
you and your friends playing Bad Cop/Worse Cop,
tilting vicious and pretty in your surrogate city,
a well-oiled scene of machine cogs.
Your new friends--
so mean, but you can't see the end.
Keep it sharp
and know how to use it. - Track Name: Bites and Scratches
-
All bites and scratches, battened hatches.
Down and out and down the spout
in a spiderland
I met a girl, to my surprise,
said I’m damaged goods, she said ‘so am I’
so I held her hand.
I’m not sure where
she found strength to care;
the things that would bleed us dry
seemed to multiply.
All bites and stings on phantom limbs
we used to hold what we used to hold,
hope we’re smarter now.
The past, you can trust, will mess you up.
But hang onto love, it’ll be enough
to save you somehow.
If drowned, i’ll be renewed, sweet thing—
I’ll return to you again each spring.
‘cause death is only a fact
and that don’t mean anything.
Bored with moralizing stories,
ignoring blurred lines that form in
our future (doesn't exist yet,
a gift for just past the present)
