Year Zero

You look like you’ve seen a ghost,
What do you want from the bar?
Two hands making shadows again
Wearing the gloves for an expensive car
Stop thinking about him because he sure isn’t thinking of you
Give the glass a chaos kiss
Tonight we crash in two,
Yeah tonight we crash in two in a blaze of malted fuzz
I’m a river of rush, let’s carve a crazy path
Here I am, drinking myself back to Year Zero
It’s like some B-Movie set
Complete with screaming boards
You’re all out of tune with the moon cycle
Let’s spike each other; see what happens
Let’s mic up our thoughts
And broadcast them to each other
I’ve got a great reference from my last lover
In the fangs of the moonlight
You can flash your pass
If you’re going to drink me in, would you mind getting a glass?
Now I’m back on the abandoned dirt track
Drinking myself back...
Back to Year Zero
You can’t step on un-stepped on terrain these days
I’m jacket, boots and long hair
I’m IPA, I’m the milk-tray man
If the milk-tray man was well into Kim Fowley
I’m in the catacombs of sex-bomb scares
Maybe we should runaway
Or maybe we should stay here sinking,
Drinking ourselves back to Year Zero

My Sonic Chamber

Step inside my sonic chamber,
You can walk in now and sign up later
Couldn’t help but see you swimming
In the inspiration pool
Floating around on a blow up lily pad
If I stubbed your cigarette out on it
Would that be smooth or cruel?
Emergency exit segueing
You had silver tinsel hair,
A fringe eclipse
And a friendzone going spare
Come on in, the water’s finite
Let’s watch Ancient Aliens all night
Nothing like a beer and bullshit
Don’t you know it’s sexual thermite?
I’ve got a sweet tooth for temptation
Your surface is gold leaf
I bunged on the God helmet
And I just fell asleep
My rose tinted glasses smashed
And I left them on the tank
Your happy place got trashed
And your life raft sank
Emergency exit segueing
You had stars in your eye line
A planetary alignment
Shimmering up my spine
Step inside my sonic chamber
It’s alright, you can sign up later
Couldn’t help but see you swimming
In the inspiration pool

Gymnasium Collision Kiss

In a gymnasium collision kiss
Where division-less are the faces
Take the springs out of the curling court
She’ll make it a blood sport
With two places left
You see, his high school ring
Was a coliseum
I’m on the edge of her lips
When she pouts for the water spout
And the droplets crash like timpanis
In the semi-stay, I’m halfway between
Her mouth and the ashtray
Like a vivarium escapee
Sneak up and bite me in the secrets
In the surrealist peripheral view
My hair cuts him in two
But he’ll sleep it off with you
On his mattress in the Love Shack, Baby
His silver bullet banter
Deflowers you up on a tin foil throne
Where you give no clues
Not even feet signals with your Zaat! running shoes
Oh no, the old celluloid fish refuses
To tell me your fortune
She’s the secret torpedo
They misplaced in the move
All her personalities split
And formed additional supergroups
Hamster wheeling around the buttons
Of her denim jacket now
Slacking in my dream capsule
She sends me heart shaped hieroglyphs
Like Bond cars off the edge of a cliff
