//no me toucher pas//

it takes much more than this to kill a man with no heart
but don't despair ma vie, you've gotten off-to a quite a start
merci marie, let all you see, be done with, right here
and keep from feeling anything that moves you my dear

thanks so much I don't think I've lost it yet.
thanks so much I don't think I've had that yet taken from my life

merci marie, take all you see, be done with, right here
indeed I'll need another weak mended heart my dear

thanks so much I don't think I've had that yet taken from my life
thanks so much I don't think I've had that yet taken from my life

perfect loveless conquest of your
perfect lifeless objects conquering you
and you'll carry their weight
on your shoulders in
a marriage to faith
and the system of debt
on your shoulders
you'll carry the weight.

//titleless//

say my peace and goodbyes
try to keep what's on my mind
(to myself)
I won't lie; the general says we won't last the night.

so let's pray for a while
over and out, as they say on the line
oh god, give me time
I want to home with the love of my life.

all the things I'd have done
if all the wars and kings were all undone
oh the waste of a life under a rich red corporate knife

try to sleep for a while
over and out, as they say on the line
oh god give me time
I want to be home with the love of my life

all the things I'd have done
if all the wars and gold and kings were gone
oh the waste of a life under a rich red corporate knife

//aheadwithnobody//

oh i have held a strong belief
be you in lesser or greater degrees
(omitted)
(omitted)
I've tried and not been proven wrong.

//flowers for algernon//

down on your knees boy
holding your own boy
fat little chance boy
to be your own man

boy there's something going on
the ice is red you're knees are black
just close your eyes it dies tonight

boy there's something going on
closed the door turned out the light
what made you a man dies tonight

the flowers for algernon die tonight
(not all that leaves the ground returns tonight)

//lie to me//

safe only in arms
you've stretched out long for me
maybe too far apart from, the heart, of honesty
don't lie to me god, don't tell me you are
don't lie to me god,
when you're not sorry.
we're all sorry.

save the letters and cards
you'll love them in weeks apart
and right after war
we'll say,

sorry.
you're not sorry.
when you're not sorry.
we're all sorry.

This is my Grandfather, David Mercado, telling me a story
about his family and how they almost lost their home.



//happy cause//

-i'm happy cause' god says love all you want
-and all I love is wrong So I think I'll make it alright

careful love, soft and periwinkle
eyes of beaten glass -of countries running half mast

-i'm happy cause ' god says love everyone
-and everyone I love Is hoping to make it the night
make it right.

//all said and done//

I'm you're father's last cigarette
burning with your answer
I'm your daughters last dying breath
buried with your answer

you can decide what went wrong
you can describe how it feels

to rise and fall through the floor
married to your answer
I'm you're pilot's last bank to left
crashing with the answers

you can decide how it feels
you analyize what went wrong

in this life
if god's always right
press on allison
they couldn't have, wouldn't have known
faster than the mourning eyes
and barely seeing, barely open minds
say once again "you're dead wrong"
you will plan to take it all
-for hell or heaven
-for leaving you alone
we'll once again, I'm not in sight.

//serves you right//

I'll be your seminal man.
cuastically burning holes and
I'll be your light when your sad eyes fail you.

Somethings are chemical here.
soothing and likable, grand.
I'll be your arms when your fighting in the dark.

Show me your cannible side
Cabernet, ladylike sides
I'll be your tongue when your fighting edge wise.

I'm glad your doing alright
a miracle. hoping to die
I'll be your heart when you're fighting for your life.

serves you right.
