exit music for a deaf would be conqueror
nobody's bones left for you to gnaw on
everybody done gone somewhere
matinee,maybe
home

just the janitor
coming through the barbed wire
to sweep up the debris

nobody left to conquer, roll up in a carpet,
shoot head first into space,
just a lot of empty laced in
waning light.

time to collect that pension,
hitch a ride to some other universe
that might be more accomodating.

one day the Earth will get out of bed.
one day the Earth will speak out.
one night the secret will be leaked at last.
one night you find there never was anything secretive.

one body one mind
says the very cold tea leaf.
one heart one dream
yes, it's the B side of the demo that you never heard.

a man or woman simply endures.

corral your magic horse that was almost as good as
a jackass.
hang up your campaigns,
they never got as far away as your own blood.

the jamboree has chosen tonight's song
exit music for a deaf would be conqueror.
bring your relatives and friends.

living is one mean mother.
living is one kickass kiss.
