quarter horses laze down your lemon switch peel the pennies from your eyes fever baby sin you think that you're a vampire 7 times the hard way come when you come slow angels lose sleep to the hiss around drove the lifers home down up off the crawl heater's on the downslide rub the ashes in fever baby sin sleeping sickness late come when you come slow angels lose sleep to the hiss around heater's on the downslide fever baby sin peel the pennies from your eyes put the pilot out quarter horses down sailors don't come back

In the marble of your animal eyes
Take my comfort anywhere
Dry white scratches on a sunburnt shin
Don't give it a name
Drowned and drinking the light
God's eyes are closed
Just like yours
Straw bones nails of November clay
The way you kiss your uncle on the mouth
Slow learner keep forgetful don't give it a name
Drowned and drinking the light god's eyes are closed
Just like yours
Black sea resort off season days
Broke heels and bare legs
Pink waterline gave up on your twisted code
God's eyes are crossed maybe just like yours

made a machine by describing the landscape
a child made out of a song about money
our sex became a boxer who moved in next door retired
a separate man we thought we knew
joked about him feared a little bit nodded hello
admired from a distance
like when leon spinx moevd into town
my leg falls asleep and becomes a telephone call
whispered on the black stairs
the cord disappears behind the kitchen door
breathing in the pauses seeing how long
we can go without saying anything

brandy and rye the magpies are stirring lay down your last 20 dollars shepherds dead sober whispering numbers there's a star above the manger tonight devil gets wise when you start to win dead from your pleasure too soon horse flies are flying slow heavy from your remains silver green many mansions above us wash up your hands before you dive in sweet baby jesus give me luck at the tables there's a star above the manger tonight turn down the lighthouse low let the lost keep staying lost shepherds dead sober whispering numbers there's a star above the manger tonight

weather like the crucifixion dreaming of a whore that's sparkling like a sparkler dead eyed starlet calm laid you down upon the coats covering the bed and said you are my brothers and what's his is mine the blinder you get the more you can taste don't let me die nervous the kids are eating candy skulls your face is buried in the engine the breaks were singing as you slide someone else's name like a crosseyed baby teething on a rusty knife i'm gonna have your backside lay your plantation down jump the fire burn your hair don't let me die nervous you can't hear a noise til your tongue's bitten out don't let me die nervous sweated off the number on the palm of your hand cold rain about to bust in between your bones and skin forgot what i was begging for you walk like a healthy meal the car alarms are moaning someone else's name
