Lust

"Hey you

Gender nectar

Sifting through the grain of gold

Tripping at your door is that you.

Alpha in her blood

And when the woman lies

You don't believe her

Rolling and unrolling

Coiling emerging

Running free

Running through the underworld into your room

Is he real or a ghost-lie

She feels she isn't heard

And the veil tears and rages till her voices are remembered

And his secrets can be told

Hey you gender nectar

Crystalline from the vine

You know you'll drink her

Rolling and unrolling

Coiling emerging

Running free running through

The afterworld into your room

So she prays

For a prankster and lust

In the marriage bed

And he waits till she can give

And he waits and he waits"

Rattlesnakes

"Jodie wears a hat although it hasn't rained for six days

she says a girl needs a gun these days

hey on account of those rattlesnakes

on account of those rattlesnakes

she looks like Eve Marie Saint in "On The Waterfront"

She reads Simone de Beauvoir in her American circumstance

She's less than sure if her heart has come to stay in San José

and her neverborn child haunts her now

while she speeds down the freeway

as she tries her luck with the traffic police

out of boredom more than spite

she never finds no trouble, she tries too hard

she's oblivious despite herself

She looks like Eve Marie Saint in "On The Waterfront"

She says all she needs is therapy

All you need is, love is all you need

Jodie never sleeps 'cause there are always needles in the hay

She says a girl needs a gun these days

hey on account of those rattlesnakes
On account of those rattlesnakes

She looks like Eve Marie Saint in "On The Waterfront"

She reads Simone de Beauvoir in her American circumstance

her heart, heart's like crazy paving

upside down and back to front

she says ooh, it's so hard to love when

love was your great disappointment

a girl needs a gun these days
hey on account of those rattlesnakes

a girl needs a gun these days

hey on account of those rattlesnakes

a girl needs a gun these days
hey on account of those rattlesnakes
on account of those rattlesnakes"
