FOR THE GREATER GOOD Between a sporting hero's craving of imperfection And the desperate scarring of chiselled faultless profile I am falling short of whole This beautiful amputee only wishes He could hold you close enough To scrub your one good eye clean Completion has nowhere left to go But toward its own deconstruction And honestly we are burning brighter now. I, LINEDANCER Let me reassure you The celebrity lookalike voluntarily modelled his scars On those of his likeness earned in glossy centrefold car smash If I promise to be good, will you take me home with you? She says "Try and sleep now..." while fingers scratch the paintwork And horses cut their mouths on all my reasons not to There are no roads that led us here No maps will get us home. MOVING BEYOND MAINTENANCE In the struggle to be the first in It's becoming obvious... we're not so well connected In the panic to be the first out It's becoming obvious... we're not so well And Jesus, this space rocket just washed the stars from his hair Along with their broken promises What if there's nothing out there? HONKY TONKIN' Say you'll be my sweetheart Christ we're so glamorous with blood in our hair... Meet me at the river and wear your prettiest dress And I promise to wear mine Go ahead and smear my lipstick good And we'll renounce your fashionable friends who think that we look cheap Gift-wrapped in ribbons and bows. PAWS AND WINGS With fingers in my mouth you taste so good Oh pretty please show me your teeth and I'll show you mine I get so physical around you... And eyes shot blood-red tumble around yours baby-blue Suddenly our clashing colours demand a make-over and quick. HOWL! Wide-eyed! The sweet night caught us suddenly drunk And cast adrift beneath a string of neon stars That spilled across her tender throat Kiss me! Good 'n' bloody, rich and full This tainted heart begs a little dysfunction And welcomes some beautiful aberration. Oh baby howl with me now! Tonight we're howling beneath a single shining silver blade of moon That cuts the flawless heart from each breast in turn. A township with ambition boats its heroes outnumber its villains And drowns the unsightly at the coast. THE SUCCESS AND FAILURE OF ROCK As I explained this is too unstable I thought I fixed the leg of that chair days ago But cutting inches from the three to meet the one Only brought me closer to the floor... and it's cold down here Just me and you And the fat ol' moon is looking sharp again tonight All wide gold grin... and you know we could We could just get caught between it's teeth. CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES COME ON Belonging And maybe that as swells the Guts of churches This communion of celebrity and stalker May decline the flesh Maybe not Belonging And maybe that as courts this Season's distressed look, Explicit prime time scarring Looks so good on you This fashionable branding Looks good on me too We all like a man in uniform don't we.

FIRST THE BRONC, NEXT THE BULL Hey! You got my new haircut You got my high heels too You got that fresh blood stink Of slash-wrist chic about you Now we're loosening tighter skins Switching clothes with the animals Growling like the big ol' bears And howling like the... We're hungry for the moon in our hair And the fresh blood drawn On the cutting edge of cool

HEY! I LOOK GOOD IN JEANS Between the blood-brick houses And black leather sky Run your fingers around my star And pluck it out like an eye Where scrambled communication Is all that jazz will allow Or maybe dictate, Yet relieves the burden of Old language Malformed speech spills from Broken mouths, writhing. Leave the phones untapped This won't translate.
