Will you take me to a restaurant?
I think I need to eat something.
No, I am not a vegan nor am I a vegetarian.
But I will surely order stir-fried eggplant in black bean sauce.
I was walking in Sunset Park, Chinatown.
Rows and rows of fish stores line the streets.
I open the door.
Next to one particularly large fish was a
black leather creature the size of a cat sprawled on ice,
A creature that should not exist in a fish store,
I had no idea where it came from and more worrisome yet,
I had no idea how long it's been there or what it was doing there... [con't]

It moves, it flows, it stops, it grows,
Precious thing, so fickle and sweet
It's in your head, in your heart, eating you inside out alive.
It's here again, it calls your name
Laughing while you run, hide, deny.
You thought you were safe
This time around
You let yourself believe what could have been.

Free downloadable score with lyrics available here:

I sliced my fingertip on the countertop
and I freaked out when I saw no blood
It confirmed my lingering suspicion
that I was a zombie in transition
I thought my heart beat a little faster
when I saw your pretty little face
But now I know I don't even have a heart
just an old rotten mole in its place
like a big black hole in outer space
And to make matters worse
Aetna will not reimburse
the medical costs for my loss.
And to make matters worse
Vampires are my curse but…
Hipsters and bucksters, they all
think that those bloodsuckers
are hot hot hot
They're not not not
they should all be shot
with a silver bullet
while I suck on the silver spoon
watching Blue Moon
I sliced my fingertip on the countertop
and I freaked when I saw no blood
It confirmed my lingering suspicion
that I was a zombie in transition
and I wasn't even in fashion

Free downloadable score with lyrics available here:

Charlie Brown met Garfield on the way to school,
stepped on his tail, it was not cool.
Garfield ran up the tree, then jumped down,
Furiously scratched Charlie Brown's eyes out.
Charlie Brown met Garfield on the way to school,
stepped on his tail, it was not cool.
Snoopy tried to kill the cat but fell flat,
salivated over Charlie Brown's eyeballs.
Charlie's eyes rolled down the street,
spinning fast, spinning slow, always on the go,
Charlie could not see.
A wandering eye gets you nowhere,
Don't let it roll too far.

Arm
03:34
|
|||
It was a sound, a beautiful vibration that I loved,
as anonymous as air.
Then it grew an arm, a thumb, an elbow,
Then it grew a face and I realized
I didn't love it anymore.
Sometimes all I want is an anonymous sound,
A lovely sound without a face
Because too much information can
Kill the love.
