1. WAKE UP GILLIAN In Antarctica There's some evil men They try to hide the truth but they know I have the proof that they're working for the government Wake up Gillian In Antarctica there's hard evidence That the men with the guns are all born-again sons of resource-stealing aliens Wake up Gillian 2. THE WOMAN IN THE RIVER The woman in the river leads her congregation south To leap from ancient waterfalls at old man mountain's mouth Teens worship in the stream, baptized in gray and green schooled at universities, minds of a hundred Ph.Ds Kiss the rocks below dissertations on the ice and snow Steel-eyed brunette Where have you led all your friends? The woman in the river, pink with spring and voyeurs' gazes sings to lure the lurking law-men from their hiding places Great Danes search the waves, scent of criminals in their brains One girl owns their respect, it's her youth they must protect a Steel-eyed brunette surrounds me in the rain on the leaves Your hounds ain't found me yet but you know exactly where i am... 3. TYRANNOSAURUS AMERICANUS Carnivores in clouds of flies with blood-stained teeth and blood shot eyes the kill is fresh, there's mouths to feed the prey seems never-ending They stink like death and while they grin their claws are tearin' at my skin they wear their victims on their lips and they're always trying to kiss me No more survival of the fit there's only competition and if you wanna get ahead there's just one way to win if you can't beat 'em, join 'em I'm lookin' out for number one ...even if that makes us zero The pack has grown ten times it's size and there's a new threat on the rise it'll out-compete and eat you all and make you eat your babies Now their numbers, once so vast have left the planet all too fast there's no escaping mother's grasp Extinction is for winners Extinction favors winners 4. MURDERER (THE GRANDMOTHER WHO EATS ANYTHING) There is no way way you can be here softness saint sweet crushing wine Vanish swift against the bedroom wordless hollow love so fine There's so much money in this purse and now it all belongs to us we can make a better life All adventures gold and stay so does everything you say you mouth, you lucky victim A guilty conscience numbing romance with no more bandages to peel Barking ski masks tickle uzis and bound our broken wrists in steel Bronze the trauma in her brain she would never be the same and now neither would I Do they think I put her down? Is that what this is all about? A curse? The broken woman? It's time to face the music, hyena needle's dread I feel so remorseful for everything I did But i'm no murderer No i'm no murderer 4.5_______________________ 5. THE GIRL WITH THE ROTATING SPINE Andrea sways pulls back the hood she grins for the midnight and fall naked branches Young Chloe smiles and leads me to her room it's dressed in razored lady faces quiet about the love Young Chloe laughs private vertebrae those pearls of oysters marching down her throat 6. DON"T LOVE I fractured midnight with a kiss stolen from the wrong set of lips As tears were oozing from her eyes all i could do was wonder why I guess i didn't think this through and now i don't know what to do I don't love you anymore Only once i caught the stars kiss her eyes with swollen hearts Her letters brought a small monsoon for missed appointments and cruel perfume I guess i couldn't make you sad I gave it everything I had But you don't love me anymore Who am i trying to fool? Who am i trying to impress?
