Let's Have Us a Love Affair

Let's have us a love affair
You an' me
We'll take a long weekend
Try an' see what could be
Meet each other and walk the desert
Or huddle by the sea
Rub each one of our bodies
Tell each other our own
Grim stories
And laugh at all our follies
Bruise each of our lips
With kisses
Make each other smile
With ironic quips and lusty dips
Let's have us a love affair
You an' me
I can see it in your eyes
You have doubts
But trust in me
Over a long weekend
By the desert or along
The sea
Just you an' me
Take a long weekend
Try an' see
What could be

I Fought a Dog

I fought a dog for a bone
I made a log into a throne
Then called up Jimmy for a loan
All he did was groan
Then he told me I was known
To the police and wanted for
Crimes and certain
Ambiguities
So I decided
Decided to settle in Rome
Had to leave behind my throne
Find a new dog
To fight over a
Bone
Of contention and I never did
Never ever ever did
Ever pay back that loan

Depressed and Repressed

Depressed and repressed an'
Someone came and discothequed and then
There was the repossess of
My Eldorado an'
I loved that car and that was why
She left me as she said
I loved it more than she
And she said I was
Not attractive
Sexually
And there you are and I am here
Repressed and depressed low an'
Someone came and discothequed
It was grotesque, but kind of cool
But raised me spirits none
Wishin' on having a gun
But a bullet you can't out run
And causes more pain than relief I find
In the giver as also them in receipt
And so I digress a per
But repressed and depressed
Is the solution to this mathematical equation
Or answer anyways
Now walking hitchhiking
Fond memories of the car
Heading down, down
Towards the bar
So I can drink and drink it all to haze
My Eldorado and baby gone
Smoking informally
In my last clean jacket an' tie
Enter the throng
Regressed and hip stressed
Live Dixie
Whiskey and whore blessed
Down low and lookin' up
Smiles huge and lap it up
Grotesque view and kinda cool
Smile huge and raise my cup

Happy Valentine's Day

My Demon Lover

My demon lover
Showered me with gifts
Preferred the rooms painted
Red and orange
Said it reminded him of home
He got homesick sometimes
My demon lover
His eyes had sparks and his wit was
Remorseless
His laughter was a rare gem
And he danced a Waltz
As if possessed
My handsome tall narrow
Demon lover
He got more physical if I got
Reciprocal
My demon lover
Liked the opera and
Traffic accidents
Left me with a taste
For blood
While he preferred
White wine
Which seemed strange
And contrarian
But that's why I loved
My demon lover

You're like a Sliver

You're like a sliver
Got under my skin
And I can't get you out
Down deep an' buried
Deep under my skin
Inflame me, itch me
And all my teeth an' claws
Can do nothing to get you out from
Underneath the layers
Layers of my skin
Down deep an' buried
You're like a sliver
Got under my skin
Got tucked in my brain
And all I can do is
Welcome the disaster
Pray for the rain to come
To soothe this fever
You, like a sliver,
Deep under my skin
Bring on
Useless all
My teeth an' claws

And I Said Damn

And I said damn
And then he fell
Fell to his knees
And then he said
Why?
I answered for love
And then
I pulled the trigger
And then
He fell on his face
Blood pooling around him
Around him in a halo
And I spit
And I said damn
