mother...
...step into the sea..
..mother...
..drown us,
both you
and me
into the sea
with you
mother
in with me
and baby brother
and I can't swim now
mother ???
I can't swim now,
worth a damn
brother calls
and you don't hate
sea and salt
is all I taste
brother,
be shy
of where you go
brother,
now know
what I don't know
boy,
do our name
some good
keep mother standing
where she stood
and I can't swim now,
brother
I just float,
and I
flutter
mother calls,
and I go under
forgotten son
floating mother

I walked into the fire today
but I did not get burned
it left me naked, and grey
but heads I did not turn
ashes up in arms
boy is in no harm
devil call my name
no, I'll never be the same
I walked into the fire today
but I did not go down
devil gave me orders to wait
but the devil, I took around
flames kiss our lips
fire holds us by the hips
devil call my name
no, I'll never be the same
night dies
sun will rise
still got the devil
by my side
night dies
sun will rise
still got the devil
by my side

for many years
I've had my ears
to the ceiling
and I'm tired of listening
your secrets are
mine, and I'm sure
mine are yours
and I'm tired of sharing
but oh,
you know..
that I love you
and so,
the boy below
will forgive you
and oh,
you know..
that I love you
and so..
the boy below,
will forgive you
I heard you coming home
stumbling up the stairs
laughing giggly giggles
you said you were sorry
and I said I didn't care
you say I'm a boy,
you say that you're a man
I say, "You can't stand!"
I say that I can
but oh..
you know,
that I love you
and so..
the boy below
will forgive you
but oh..
you know,
that I love you
and so..
the boy below,
will forgive you

burning star
fall with sound
trumpet calls
river found
burning lamp
wormwood oil
angel cries
river spoil
river's out
one-third gone
fountain's black
one-third on
river's out
one-third gone
fountain's black
one-third on!

and we knew
what was to come
before we had been told
with the sounding of bells
and of horns--
the end is very fucking nigh
we are not afraid to die
we are not afraid to die
I am not afraid to die
I am not afraid to die!
I am not afraid to die!
..I am not afraid to die......
.....I am not afraid to die.......

Wolfe in the Streets

where are the people
in your town
boy?
where did your people go?
did the wolfe
come through your town,
boy?
are his prints in the snow?
where are your sisters,
and brothers,
boy?
did the wolfe
get them
too?
where are your
fathers
and
mothers
boy?
did they forget about you?
a wolfe in the streets
and a wolf in my mind
a wolfe in the streets
and a wolfe in kind
a wolfe in the streets
and a wolf in my mind
a wolfe in the streets
and a wolfe in kind
where is the wolfe
running through
your town?
where does he sleep?
where can he be found?
where is the wolfe
running through
your town?
where does he sleep?
where can he be found?

Anchor, Baby

swim through the rivers
of our town
where fish are fried and
men all frown and
gods all live
alone
run through the canals
of our town
where brothers
and sisters
will all drown
and
gods all live
alone
