1.BLACK HEARTED LOVE

I think I saw you in the shadows
I move in closer beneath your windows
Who would suspect me of this rapture
And who but my black hearted love
And who but my black hearted love
When you call out my name in rapture
I volunteer my soul for murder
I wish this moment here forever
And you are my black hearted love
And you are my black hearted love
In the rain, in the evening I will come again
I'd like to take you
I'd like to take you to a place I know
My black hearted
I'd like to take you
I'd like to take you to a place I know
My black hearted
I'd like to take you
I'd like to take you to a place I know
My black hearted
I'd like to take you
I'd like to take you to a place I know
My black hearted

2.SIXTEEN, FIFTEEN, FOURTEEN

Erica, Erica
Is watching
Danielle, Danielle
Is hiding
Erica, Erica
Is counting
Sixteen, fifteen, fourteen
Twelve, eleven, ten, nine
Erica, Erica
Is counting
Sun is setting, see
In the garden it's starting to rain
The trees are trembling
Erica's repeating
Erica, there is no laughter in the garden
Erica is feeling something
Danielle is hiding
She's counting
Sixteen, fifteen, fourteen,
Thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten,
Nine, eight
Sun is leaving the scene
Took a look and turning away
The trees are trembling
Erica's repeating
Erica, there is no laughter in the garden

3.LEAVING CALIFORNIA

California, leaving
California
California, leaving
California
No one but me is walking
Under palms that give no shade
I'm leaving you today
California leaves me
California
California leaves me
California
How cruel was I to think that
I could make you change
Oh, give me some shade
Oh, England come soon
How could I believe that I
Could live and breathe in you
California killed her
California
California killed me
California
I think it's time to leave
I think it's time to leave
I told no one I'd stay
I think it's time to leave

4.THE CHAIR

Where, where have you gone
Daniel, my only son
I, I even slept with you
To be here in your chair
Sitting in your favorite chair
When you snuck into the water
I felt you leave through one thousand
Yawning miles
My heart slowed, my heart slowed
Never to pick up again
Pieces, pieces of my life
Are gone
Washed away in water that took
My son

5.APRIL

April, how could
I not have seen
April, you coming
April how could I've
Worn inappropriate clothing
April, all that careful stepping
Rounding of my soul
And now your rain
April, I feel you leaving
I don't know what silence means
It could mean anything
April, won't you answer me
These days just seem to crush me
Hatching, collapsing, tumbling down
April, what if I drown
I drown
April, I see you leaving
I don't know what silence means
It could mean anything
I dream
I dream
April, April
Did I want you
Did I want change
April, your rain overcomes me

6.A WOMAN A MAN WALKED BY/
THE CROWS KNOW WHERE ALL THE LITTLE CHILDREN GO

I went to you, a woman-man
A courageous friend, I thought
But turned out so wrong was I
When we were up against the wall
He had chicken-liver balls
He had chicken-liver spleen
He had chicken-liver heart
Made of chicken-liver parts
Lily-livered little parts
Lily-livered little parts
Prematurely going bald
Any passion long gone cold
But I wanted to explore the
Damp alley ways of his soul
All the times he tried to help
He spit in my face and laughed
That woman-man, I want his fucking ass
I want his fucking ass
I want your fucking ass
My friend-itey, he's looking like
Crammed in a taxi, I see you too clearly
Sucking on a little pea, sucking on a little pea
My my, a little toy
He's just a mommy's boy
Where's your liver, where's your heart
Where's all your woman parts
Now it's my turn to laugh
You stick it up your fucking ass
You stick it up your fucking ass

7.THE SOLDIER

I imagine a dream
In which I'm a soldier
And I'm walking
On the faces
Of dead women
And everyone I've
Left behind me
It's the year when
The troops entered
The thirty-ninth
Thirty-ninth parallel
Send me home restless
Send me home damaged
And wanting
It's the year when
Some poet said:
We must live, or accept the consequences
I want you to share
Every pinprick of guilt
That I have felt
That I have felt
Send me home restless
Send me home damaged
Send me home disposes
Send me home damaged
And wanting

8.PIG WILL NOT

I will
I will not
I will not
No, I will not
No, I will not
I won't
I won't
I will not
I will not
I will not
Hunter the associator
He crashes high
Shakes the disbeliever
Shakes the disbeliever's head
Shakes him harder, instructing you well
Hear me you healer,
Your rubbish inside your rotting mind
I am your guardian
I am your fairy, do my will
Shit lovers, this is true love
That we're doing now
Your lover that was before, all broken
Your face all messed up
I will not
I will not

9.PASSIONLESS, POINTLESS

Let's Talk
Let's talk
Let the dirt fall
Let Heads Roll
No kind hand is reaching out for me tonight
I slept facing the wall
I dreamt of buildings in pieces
You slept facing the wall and you wanted less than I wanted
Passionless, Pointless
Where does the passion go
I'm asking
There 's no kindness in your hands
No reaching out for me tonight
You slept facing the wall and you wanted less than I wanted
I slept facing the wall
But when I met you how did you enter
I don't remember
How did we ever

10.CRACKS IN THE CANVAS

Had do we cope
With the days after a death
Empty days, nothing left
Not even a funeral
I see shapes falling inside
Paintings
Animals and humans, row upon row
Walking toward something
Waiting for something
I'm looking for an answer
Me and a million others
Disbelievers
Deserted lovers
Dear God
You better not let me down this time
Cracks in the canvas
Look like roads
That never end
