They walk or float by all a-shimmer Always at night never noon There’s no hope not a glimmer This is about the ghost women of the moon If they’re not here now they will be soon Their identities are myriad So many I don’t realize there’s no sorting them out period Not with anything I can devise I give up before they even arrive They come without warning dripping ectoplasm faces bathed in a silver light They leave without an orgasm but they don’t leave without a fight and their sheets are bleached white Through the cloudy window pane I see them on the lawn My heart is wrapped in iron chain as I await the dawn When I hope they’ll be gone Night passes one frame at a time That slow motion of pain It’s a smoldering or flaming sign somewhere in the brain We’re not here to entertain With the utmost gravity At one time they were cherished They now summon depravity and other pictures somewhat garish That’s why it’s nightmarish Night passes one frame at a time That slow motion of pain It’s a smoldering or flaming sign somewhere in the brain Our purpose is not humane I’ll meet them on the other side I’ll see them again I know We’ll talk about how love died When we reunite below In the devil’s chateau Night passes one frame at a time That slow motion of pain It’s a smoldering or flaming sign somewhere in the brain Are you a lad insane?

a girl i knew just wasn’t there in fact i would say she was just nowhere i never really said to her “i care” then one night i was trapped in her lair if there’s one thing i know for sure a nowhere girl has no cure when a nowhere girl starts to purr there’s nothing left but a dark red blur the girl reminded me of Zelda Sayre to escape a girl like that is rare it’s not like a trip to the county fair before i knew it i was laid bare if there’s one thing i know for sure a nowhere girl has no cure a nowhere girl will make your mind whirr nothing can compare to a girl like her she had wonderful feet and also nice hair in fact she has some very nice clothes to wear someday we might get out into the air and then maybe we could really be somewhere if there’s one thing i know for sure if there’s one thing with no cure it’s a girl in a lair who’s just nowhere it’s a girl in a lair who’s loaded for bear

I knew she was unstable. I thought I was good for her. She told me she would always love me. I believed her, and I still do. I didn’t know how old she was I had no artificial intelligence At that time I was not a robot

Now, with a latte and a half-cup drip under my belt I actually feel like I know what I’m talking about. Like I’ve identified a specific and worthwhile goal, which, if I strive toward it, which I have the ability to do, then I will obtain it, and be in a better place than I am now. What an amazing feeling. What an amazing idea. Oh, and I left out… I can attain it within a reasonable period of time. One that will prove useful to me. And let’s even say that it will sync up with other events to result in victory, some larger overall victory. Maybe it could even mean that I win something. I get something in the mail that makes me laugh and jump. Or a phone call. Or I have a meeting. Anyway, there’s that moment when I am vindicated, and I know that I haven’t wasted my life. That moment that I know that I am on my way. A break. Or when I know that no matter what happens now I’ve proven something that can never be taken from me.

If I looked I would see you But there’s something I don’t know If I listened I would hear you But there’s one thing I don’t know If I knew I would love you But there’s something You don’t know

Now see what you made me do You forced me to point this gun at you You’re an exhibit in my private zoo A twist in our relationship--brand new For your new look I’ll give you a dress Put it on now, you’re under duress Your new identity, nothing less And what’s coming up next you can’t guess I always wanted to be in love But this will do for now my dove I’ll handle you with a velvet glove And hide you away from the stars above Just for you, this spiked collar Jump and spin, I’ll give you a dollar No one will care how much you holler When I drive you crazy with Gustave Mahler Weddings and funerals will be our routine You’ll wear the dress, and I’ll wear red jeans Our story won’t be on the silver screen If it is, they’ll find you in a ravine I always wanted to be in love But this will do for now my dove I’ll handle you with a velvet glove And hide you away from the stars above
