Boo Human

Joan of Arc Boo Human Lyrics
1.Shown and Told

Waking up you want to see
Who's it you want paralyzed
And you find
You see what you want to see
And its you that you've done hypnotized
There are corners of your home
you've never noticed before
There are corners of your own home
you've never noticed before

And you're numb and you're numb and you know
That you're numb

Taking out the you from me
The you that wants me paralyzed
And I find
The show and tell it all seemed to be
Had shown and told me hypnotized
There are corners of your home
you've never noticed before
There are corners of your own home
you've never noticed before

And you're numb and you're numb and you know
That you're numb

Hermaphrodite stepfather
Just pollinate and don't bother the flower
My generous mother has set off to sail
Her genuflect offering faith in betrayal
There are corners of your home
you've never noticed before
There are corners of your own home
you've never noticed before


2.Laughter Reflected Back

The best friend I ever had
Was the worst fucking thing that ever happen to me

But at least we can each
Count on all this shit to be reflected back at us
In the depths of our laughter

One can never guess what a willingness
To do anything for another may require
And now it seems she needs me
Even to call it quits with me for her

But at least we can each
Count on all this shit to be reflected back at us
In the depths of our laughter

She can't see inward
So she's the last to know she'll get to this point
in herself again

But at least we can each
Count on all this shit to be reflected back at us
In the depths of our laughter


3.Just Pack or Unpack

The ricochet continues
Yes I do, no I don't
Just pack or unpack
So our undoing can be done

The ricochet continues
Yes I do know I don't
Even recognize you
Re-ravelled anew

The ricochet continues
Yes I do, no I don't
Just pack or unpack
Who yoiu think we are

The ricochet continues
Yes I do know I don't
Miss reconnaissance mission
And unilateral withdrawal

The ricochet continues
Yes I do, no I don't
Just pack or unpack
All our new, odd, hidden bits

Ooh then all at once
We were no longer us
THis is not who we are
Please meet the new me


4.911 2

Its 9/11 2
The way you say my name
The future is gone and the past won't stop happening

Being the center of everything to me
Just wasn't enough for you
Cuz I'm only one man I'm only one man I'm only one man

Its shock and awe 2
The way you say my name
The future is gone and the past won't stop happening

You took your time to think this through
Sort your evidence and re-write history
Decided already this is how it had to be
By the time you told me anything


5.A Tell-Tale Penis

whoever else i may have been
she'd still be going through this now
but all the quiet hours i require still cant show me how

im barely living
in her halftime show
keeping warped minutes of her wishes and revisions

and somethings knocking around in me like a loose nut
this tell-tale penis kick in the gut
shot down my strut

the walls are beating
it's my reflection in my death
it's the alarm clock riding the horizon

once we spent our afternoons
dancing in our living rooms
now shes giving into her most unlit corners too soon

love is a lifetime's winding twisting tapestry
so reborn now without fears
before you ever met me

you can end things with your boyfriend
i'll quit chasing you around
but how long will the echo of the tell-tale penis sound

its the creak in the floorboards
it's throb is in my head
it's the alarm clock riding the horizon

it's the hand up through the dirt
toward the sky after midnight
burried alive and left for dead


6.Everywhere I Go

Everywhere I Go
Everyone I Know
Laughs and Says I Told You So

Everywhere I Go
Everyone I Know
Laughs and Says I Told You So

Everywhere I Go
Everyone I Know
Laughs and Says I Told You So


7.Vine On A Wire

The only impossible thing has happened
The only impossible thing has happened

I can do this for her
I can stay awake
If that's how she needs me
To be there for her in a way
So this is the new from now on
In all the different ways we say
We need to distinguish
Between our same ways each day

The only impossible thing has happened
The only impossible thing has happened

Strange my body just a bulk I carry
But in my mind her body is her
It's range and means and modes change
While her mind remains a blur
We'll write off towards perpetual sundown
In pink and gray we'll tinkle, oink and bray
I've abandonwed my beautiful best friend to confusion
Just as she has demanded I do

The only impossible thing has happened
The only impossible thing has happened
Like a vine on a wire
I have tried in my way dependency

Like a vine on a wire
I have tried in my way dependency


8.Insects Don't Eat Bananas

We both know it's your game and I'm just playing along
I'll just be your monkey and be made to believe I'm paranoid
Cuz that's easier for me than to believe what I have seen
So ooh-ooh-ah-ah-ooh-ooh-ah-ah when I ask for you and
you don't condescend to respond

The rules of the game change
But the banana stays in the cage
You can squeeze your hand between the bars
But you can't have your hand back

When one you love has grown tired in such a substantial way
Too bad we're each no more strong than we are
and there's just nothing to say
But if you really insist on squashing me like a bug
Couldn't you be merciful and just stomp on me instead of
this prolonged smear

My 8 mangled legs kick and twist
My 5 dozen eyes reflect back on themselves
But insects don't eat bananas


9.Lying and Cheating Mind

Instrumental


10.If There Was a Time #1

If there was a time
Then now might be a place
Fated to fading

I've only one ambition for the night
Finding the most effective means
for giving up on my whole life

Stalled and defenseless
From a fall from the fences
At the walls of our senses
I'm calling out clinging and left
rendered senseless

If there was a time
Noce can be a place
Fated to fading

Boo-Human
I'm never speaking to you again

Boo-Human
I'm never speaking to you again

Boo-Human
I'm never speaking to you again

Boo-Human
I'm never speaking to you again
Boo-Human
I'm never speaking to you again
Boo-Human
I'm never speaking to you again
Boo-Human
I'm never speaking to you again
Boo-Human
I'm never speaking to you again
Boo-Human
I'm never speaking to you again


11.The Surrender #1

Instrumental


12.If There Was a Time #2

I smile to each room that I enter
And am aware of choosing not to destroy
And meanwhile back at central command
The vague ache of being human takes it's stand

The pits and tangles of patience and strength
The blessed blaze of reckless, senseless, meaningless choices
made
I still have those who know I'm full of shit and love me anyways
And all I get to walk away with is knowing this'll all hit you
someday

So I smile to each room I enter
And I smile to each room I consciously don't destroy


13.The Surrender #2

Her bitter meds have thickened me
But muscle memory blessed be
I've surrendered successfully
And it's better than she to me
My own thin-skinned amphibian
Seems unsure where she fits in
But within her quiet hissin'
Lies some subtle proposition

The appropriate hour's blink
Trades my credibility
Creates hallways unknown to me
To remain lost and alone as should be

Her rapid-fire lies require
Such arrogance we've both grown tired
However I've become this man
What a beautiful mistake she's been

I've come undone not by my own will
But in lacking strength to fight destruction's thrill
Love becomes shame in direct ratio
To the depths one allows one's love to grow

Love becomes shame in direct ratio
To the depths one allows one's love to grow
And living with this surrender
Seems all anyone needs to know


14.So-and-So

Turning off and toughening up;
Well that's a dumb idea of smart
But you'll have to live with yourself;
Just you and your unique beautiful
woman's entitlement

No one know what I love you means;
But I know it's a thing you'll run up
against inside yourself;
Now you're worried about what our friends say
After you had everything your own way

You made a choice to be dishonest with me;
You made a choice to give up on everything;
You've chosen to stomp on my vulnerability;
And now you're vain enough to expect sympathy

How old is this perfect child?
How old is this perfect child?
How old is this perfect child?

I've kept my cool while I've destoryed
most things I've ever destroyed
I can remain all la-dee-da while mid-tantrum;
What's the difference cool and
collected or otherwise?

I stand doomed and accused;
But completely accustomed to your so hard won so-whatsdom;
So what's the difference cool and collected or otherwise?

Still a pilgrim or a pirate;
Still pointed towards the shore;
Still a-hoy and it's hot today matees;
Still a wonder and a bore

But weren't you aware of it all;
And weren't you in awe of the claw
That clenched you all over and scared you and just left you
blaming

Doomed to do some so-and-so; And to me you'll be some so-and-so
And I'll be just your old ex-so-and-so;
I'll see you on the street sometime so-and-so;
And introduce you to me new so-and-so;
And I'll politely shake hands with your so-and-so;
I'll smile at the son of so-and-so
And your child to me will just be some so-and-so
And your child to me will just be some so-and-so
And your child to me will just be some so-and-so
And your child to me will just be some so-and-so
And your child to me will just be some so-and-so
And your child to me will just be some so-and-so
