Alligators in the Palisades

A red dress and a handul of spades
Pour a drink for the zombie saint
A struck matrch on the temple floor
Lotto ticket and i'm out the door

yeah yeah
The lucky strikes
yeha yeah
The highball lens
yeah yeah
The psychic spies
yeah yeah
The long legs

yeah alright
Shake your ass until your daddy comes home tonight

Our midnight thrills leave tarpit stains
Alligator in the palisades
Sweet girl, crawl for me
I'm an argonaut, your a territory

Alligators in the Palisades


Click. Crash. Boom.

Our seasons ache
Our words unclear
The libation of our canyon years
The blood don't come the way it should
Say your grace because it's gone for good

Now turn the key
It goes click. crash. boom.

We lost the trail of smoke
A flash of fading lights
Our friends are slave ship songs
coming back to life
The firewalker
A smell of dirt
He's cashing in all his chips tonight

Our day is sold
The coast is clear
Those sirens are miles away from here
This world's gone mad
It sure looks good
and every trap is set beneath this hood

Now say goodbye
Let's burn our houses down
Now say goodbye
Spread that forked tongue


Disgraceland

It's a long night wasting
My baby ain't coming back
There's a jukebox playing I’m gonna shake out my kinks to that
Cold shimmy on the dance floor
Ground teeth in the dirt
Dry sockets in the back room looking to make up their scores

Hot damn I’m on a roll again
Look out I’m on fire again
Kiss lady luck on the mouth again
I ain't coming down again
I'm all right

I'm the pipe bomb in the boiler
in this low rent cavalcade
Zip. Pop. Crack.
and it's all in flames
Got no time for your small talk
I'll tell ya what i think
Come sway those hips
Come buy me another drink

So hot and empty
I'll drink up all the seas
Got no faith in science
or any law of thieves
The black blood of the earth is calling
I got a six demon bag
A million dollars in karma, baby
We gotta get what we can


Cosmic Boss

Like an earthbound temple rising
A kiss against the sky
Arms coil to keep us listless
and to paralyze

Lay your loving bare
Moist words they carry
Lay your loving bare
All our heroes are buried

Like a junk ox a cosmic boss
Ignition set
I'm drifting off

Gears grind out destruction
draining all our love
Fragrant howl
Cthulu sickness
Mandragora


We Got the Night

Red lands of the dry chord
Dirty Vessels from dirty ports
Come down from that guard rail
we got appearance to keep
Piety a goldmine
A saggy prayer to the new divine
If that flesh is twitching
Do you know what i mean?

A cross amongst the crossless
navigates the night
This place is closing
could you give a ride?

When the city sleeps
we got the night in our hand
All the little girls don't wanna understand
When the city sleeps
we got the night in our hand
Oh yeah, oh yeah

Forms form from the shaking distance
Gravel bed designs
Mirages of better living
and foreboding signs
Cheers to our vices!
Another mad dog in the rain
A killer in the boxcar waiting
on that midnight train

Rub out the guidelines
Defend our ways
Swallow anything
that is in our way


Rocket

Rocket great red ghost
Go lightning ghost

Slow your nerve on a string
Hold out there
Go on green

My next feat
turned on a spit
Beast sounds
and parlour tricks


The Legend of the Suicide Kid

in the air, alright
limp wrists swinging dynamite
the kid has come undone
a wild beast with no where to run

gray spooks haunt the empty stairwells
garbage lines the empty streets
another season of discord
please

put your money up
you know i will win it
if there was a cup
shoot the gate like lightning
a yes in a maybe world
3 cheers suicide kid

when the word got out
mouths moved; nothing came out
the girls crossed thier legs up high
we took a pull and the whole city sighed

sull hearts wept from aching bottoms
to the conquer of the rat-trap maze
another bout of madness
yeah

oh yeah
it's on to me
in the air, all the talk
is on the streets


$50 Pyramid Scheme

if your looking for a ride now, baby
i got a tilt-a-whirl
i like living the good life
do you like nice things?

call me midas cause i got a touch
it's like a big hairy bush
i like your style
your so tough and clean
like a $50 pyramid scheme

grab me tight, we're gonna crash land, baby
my love's a stegasaur
don't get so hardcore
do you need me to beg?

call me lazarus; it's like i'm back from death
i'm gonna spread my scent
i like the sound in your lower frequencies
set atop of our pyramid scheme

close your eyes, do you feel alright, now?
hold on sugar cause i got all night, now


Ground Out Heel

You've got your best dress on
oh yeah
Now you wear your hair out long
oh yeah
Heading for that Sunday morning
oh yeah
Left a trail of houses burning
oh yeah

C'mon let it all out
We'll burn it to the ground
and give ourselves something to cry about
A ground out heel another fart in the wind
A little too far gone
You know I’m too far gone

Standing on that rooftop singing
oh yeah
Like flower vases breaking
oh yeah
Bored teeth clink on glasses
oh yeah
Another hour slowly passes
oh yeah


La Zona

leave the thinkers for the thinking
now step right up
we've saved you a place in line
i've got a million fish
down in this sea
bright and glittering

keep searching for the scent
i've got acres of skin
the trick is to look within
the snap of the picture
is your finger in the way
every sip of the water makes you hot

c'mon here's your favorite song
keep up for another round
hold on to the rail your drifting out

c'mon here we sing it
we're gonna make that little birdie fly
c'mon here we sing it
c'mon c'mon c'mon

i got love for days
i want to give it all away
and everywhere there's an open house

and all the worlds a'glow
under bare light bulbs
the truth finally sneaks out

these walls are arms
these bars are pleas
gonna love you all
gonna save you all


Mandragoria

Made you look!


That Full Moon Feeling

walk like a landslide
pass through the haze
another hit maybe an hour of rest
hope for the best
coming down the sidewalk
girls of cadillac design
not know what or how it's done
they do it right

instincts on the tv screens
patterns form a bruise on our soft machines
what to have's been had and lost it's bloom
gonna tear up the roots
gonna howl at the moon

the humming myth in stereo
it's complimentary style
saints sheathed in unnatural sights
framed by a wreath of arrow red lights
caterpillar parade
snaking through the streets
nature sways and bowws it's heads
to our secret beat

batter down that hard talk
until there's nothing less
a line
tongue
a sweet growl
come and touch my chest
