3.Sissy Blues

Before I had you committed
To my memory
Before I had you clinging
To my purse

Back when all those pills
They'd had seemed friendly
When you claimed to be
A registered nurse

I thought i lived in such a state
I was a crawling, faggot retrobate
You gave me the finest high-heeled shoes
I'd ever worn

Oh Girl, I can't do what you girls do
And still be a lady!
Girl, I can't sell it like you do.
At 5 0'clock I just receded to the shadows
It's a young mans job and i know I'm nothing new

All I need is 25
To get me out of here alive
All I need is a ticket
To take me home

I thought i lived in such a state
I was a crawling, faggot retrobate
you gave me the finest high-heeled shoes
I'd ever worn


4.High Prices Going Down

I found a place to sell my name
Along the markets promenade
High prices going down

I robbed a store to wear my shoes
It hurt my pride to bear these blues
High prices going down

Oh the rice is burning brown
And high prices going down

I woke up in my baby's arms
To the sound of fire alarms
High prices going down

I read the news
and I heard it said
there's 200 already dead
High prices going down

Oh the King gave up his crown
And high prices are going down

My mind's a buzz
a swarm of bees
and I did just as I please
High prices going down

There's no way out
the car's been crashed
and look around
the prices slashed
High prices going down

A dollars worth is half a pound
and high prices going down


5.Gore Veil

If I gore veil in my mind I could turn to reality.
I would leave you behind, put you far away from me.
Through this veil I will find I could see my mortality.
I could see it stare back at me I could see him point and laugh
at me.

I've been lost, all my life now I've found what's meant for me
on the edge of a knife is a calm simplicity.
In the storm and the strife there's a moment's clarity.
When the quivering fraility now has all but fled from me.

Today i saw an apple in my head and there was blood on my hands.
Well everything was fire engine red and all the good pigeons
sang.

Bap ba da ba
Bap ba da ba
Bap ba da ba

Just as our point of departure could this veil grow wings and
fly
but the truth that I harbor has no veil to make you cry.
What a shame there is no cure for a fear of things that die
for the need to tell a lie for a dryness in the eye.

Today i saw an apple in my head and there was blood on my hands.
Well everything was fire engine red and all the black guys they
sang.

Bap ba da ba
Bap ba da ba
Bap ba da ba

What am I for, what am I for if not to lie among the palms
what am I for, what am I for if not to sing another song
what am I for, what am I for if not to paint the walls with
blood
what am I for, what am I for if not to bury in the mud
what am I for, what am I for if not to build a shelter here
what am I for, what am I for if not to pass another year
what am I for, what am I for if not to wander through the rye
what am I for, what am I for, what am I for, bap ba da ba
If not to die


6.So Young & So Cruel

You seen my black boots in leather?
The point of their toe could pierce your flesh

Oh yes, I'm really so young and so cruel
I'm really so young
so young and so cruel

Have you seen this black coat I'm wearing?
Those buttons are brass, these buttons are gold.

Oh yes, I'm really so fine
so dandy and fine
so young and so cruel

Yes, I will take your heart
and break it in 2

Oh yes, I'm really so fine
so dandy and fine
so young and so cruel

And with the Lord as my witness
Oh it's such a dirty business
to pull my teeth from your throat
and leave you wanting

And, I will take your heart
Yes, I will take your heart
and I'll break it in 2

11.By Morning, It's Gone

There's no danger in your stable
and I know that some good's come to pass.
If you should want for something better, when you know,
when you know there's nothing you could ask.

That I would not give over gladly.
I would share with you everything I own
You take me over and by morning,
I wake to find it's gone.

Now if I fall beneath your virtue
as you may live now far above your needs.
It's for you to stay in on my foundation,
all of my plan is on my self-receipt.

Into the pits of my own longing
and in them everything is wrong.
You take me over and by morning,
I wake to find it's gone.
