Boys for Pele

No one's picking up the phone
Guess it's me and me
and this little massochist
She's ready to confess
all the things that I never thought
that she could feel

Hey Jupiter
nothing's been the same
so are you gay
are you blue
Thought we both could use a friend to run to
and I thought I
wouldn't have to be with you
something new

Sometimes I breathe you in
and I know you know
and sometimes you take a swim
Found your writing on my wall
If my heart's soaking wet
Boy your boots can leave a mess

Hey Jupiter
nothing's been the same
so are you gay
are you blue
Thought we both could use a friend to run to
and I thought you wouldn't have to keep
with me
hiding

Thought I knew myself so well
all the dolls I had
Took my leather off the shelf
Your apocalypse was fab
for a girl who couldn't choose
between the shower or the bath
and I thought I wouldn't have to be with you
a magazine

No one's picking up the phone
Guess it's clear he's gone
and this little masochist
is lifting up her dress
Guess I thought I could never feel the things
I feel

Hey Jupiter
nothing's been the same
so are you gay
Are you blue
Thought we both could use a friend to run to
Hey Jupiter
nothing's been the same
so are you safe
now we're through
Thought we both could use a friend to run to
Hey Jupiter

Little Amsterdam
in a southern town
Hominy get it on your plate girl
Momma keep your head down
Momma it wasn't my bullet

Don't take me back to the Range
I'm just comin out of the cell in my brain
Girl you got to know these days
which side you're on

Momma got shit
She loved a brown man
then she built a bridge in the Sheriff's bed
She'd do anything to save her man
You see her olives are cold pressed
and her best friend is a sun dress
but Momma it wasn't my bullet

Don't take me back to the Range
I'm just comin out of the cell in my brain
Girl you got to know these days
which side you're on

Round and a round and a round I go
Round and a round this time for keeps

Father only you can save my sould
and playing that organ must count
for something
Girl you got to know these days

Little Amsterdam
shut down today
They buried her with a butter bean bouquet
and the Sheriff now can't ride away
like he said into the sunset
and I won't say that he shouldn't of paid
but Momma it wasn't my bullet

Congradulate you
said you had a double tongue
Balancing cake and bread
Say goodbye to a glitter girl

Talula
Talula
You don't want to lose her
She must be worth losing
if it is worth something
Talula
Talula
She's brand new now to you
Wrapped in your papoose
Your little fig newton

Say goodbye to the old world

Ran into the henchman who severed
Anne Bolyn
He did it right quickly a merciful man
She said 1+1 is 2
but Henry said that it was 3
So it was
Here I am

Talula
Talula
I don't want to lose it
It must be worth losing if it is worth something
Talula
Talula
She's brand new now to you
Wrapped in your papoose
your little fig newton

and Jamaica
Do you know what I have done
Mary M weaving on said
what you want is in the blood of senators

I got Big Bird on the fishing line
I got a bit of a shout bit of a shout
a bit of an angry snout
He's my faourite hooker of the whole bunch
and I know about his only bribe
and how the Russians die on the ice
I got my rape hot on
honey but I always could accessorise
and I never cared too much for the money
but I know right now
that it's in God's hands
but I don't know who the father is

Talula
Talula
I don't want to lose him
he must be worth losing
if it is worth something
Talula
Talula
He's brand new now to you
Wrapped in your papoose
Your little fig newton

Maybe I'm the afterglow
cause I'm with a band you know
Don't you hear the laughter on the way down

Yes I am the anchorman
dining here with Son of Sam
Hear too much to chatter on the way down

Gonna meet a great big star
Gonna drive his great big car
Gonna have it all here on the way down
Way down
Way down
Way down
She knows
Way down
Way down
Way down
She knows

Not the Red Baron
Not Charlie Brown
Think I got the message figured
Another pilot down
and are their devils with halos
in beautiful capes
taking them into the flames

Not Judy G
Not Jean Jean with a hallowed
heart
I see that screen go down
in the flames with every step
with every beautiful heel pointed

Not the Red Baron I'm sure
Not Charlie wonderful dog
Not anyone I really know
Just another pilot down
Maybe I'll just sing him a last
little sound many there know some girls
with red ribons
The prettiest red ribbons

Father Lucifer you never looked so sane
You always did prefer the drizzle to the rain
Tell me that you're still in love with that milkmaid
How the lizzies
How's your Jesus Christ been hanging

Nothing's gonna stop me from floating
Nothing's gonna stop me from floating

He says he reckons I'm a watercolour stain
He says I run and then I run from him and then I run
He didn't see me watching from the aeroplane
He wiped a tear and then he threw away our appleseed

Nothing's gonna stop me from floating
Nothing's gonna stop me from floating

Everyday's my wedding day
Though baby's still in his comatose state
I'll dye my own Easter eggs
Don't go yet
and Beenie lost the sunset but that's OK
Does Joe bring flowers to Marilyn's grave
and girls that eat pizza and never gain weight

Father Lucifer you never looked so sane
You always did prefer the drizzle to the rain
Tell me that you're still in love with that milkmaid
How the lizzies
How's your Jesus Christ been hanging

Blood roses
Blood roses
Back on the street now
Blood roses
Blood roses
Back on the street now
Can't forget the things you never said
on days like these starts me thinking

When chickens get a taste of your meat
Chickens get a taste of your meat

You gave him your blood
and your warm little diamond
He likes killing you after you're dead
You think I'm a queer
I think you're a queer
I think you're a queer
I think you're a queer

I shaved every place where you been boy
I shaved every place where you been yes

God knows I know I've thrown away those graces

The belle of New Orleans tried to show me
once how to tango
Wrapped around your feet
Wrapped around like good little roses

Blood roses
Blood roses
Back on the street now
Blood roses
Blood roses
Back on the street now
Now you've cut out the flute
from the throat of the loon
at least when you cry now
he can't hear you
when chickens get a taste of your meat
Come on come on come on come on
when he sucks you deep
Sometimes you're nothing but meat

She's a beauty queen
My sweet bean bag in the street
Take it
down to the laundry scene
Don't know why she's in my hand
Can't figure what it is
but I lie again

Standin on a corner in Winslow Arizona
and I'm quite sure I'm in the wrong song
2 girls 65 got a piece tied up in the back seat
'Honey we're recovering Christians'

In the springtime of his vodoo
He was going to show me spring

And right there for a minute
I knew you so well
And right there for a minute
I knew you so well

Got an angry snatch
Girl you know what I mean
when swivelin that hip doesn't do the trick
Me pureed sanitarily Mr. Sulu
warp speed
warp speed
warp speed

In the springtime of his vodoo
In the springtime of his vodoo

Every road leads back to my door
[And right there for a minute]
Every road I will follow
[I knew you so well]
Every road leads back to my door
[And right there for a minute]
Got all your crosses loaded

And I know she's not than foxy boys
I said I know she's not that foxy but
You gotta owe something sometimes
You gotta owe when you're your momma's sunshine
You've got to give something sometimes
when you're the sweetest cherry in an apple pie
I need some vodoo on these prunes

In the springtime of his vodoo
In the springtime of his vodoo
He was going to show me spring

Muhammed my friend
It's time to tell the world
We both know it was a girl back in bethlehem
And on that fateful day
When she was crucified
She wore shiseido red and we drank tea
By her side
Sweet sweet
Used to be so sweet to me

Muhammed my friend
I'm getting very scared
Teach me how to love my brothers
Who don't know the law
And what about the deal on that flying
Trapeeze got a peanut butter hand
But honey do drop in at the
Dew drop inn
Sweet sweet
Between the bots and the bees


And moses i know
I know you've seen fire
But you've never seen fire
Until you've seen pele blow
And i've never seen light
But i sure have seen gold
And gladys save a place for me
On your grapevine
Till i get my own tv show


Ashre ashre ashre ashre
And if i lose my cracker jacks at the
Tidal wave i got a place
In the pope's rubber robe
Muhammed my friend
It's time to tell the world
We both know it was a girl
Back in bethlehem

Glue stuck to my shoes
Does anyone know why you play with an orange rind
You say you packed my things and divided what was mine
You're off to the mountain top
I say her skinny legs could use sun
but now I'm wishing for my best impression
of my best Angie Dickenson
but now I've got to worry
cause boy you still look pretty
when you're putting the damage on

Don't make me scratch on your door
I never left you for a banjo
I only just turned around for a poodle
and a corvette
and my impresson
of my best Angie Dickenson
but now I've got to worry
cause boy you still look pretty
when you're putting the damage on

I'm trying not to move
It's just your ghost passing through
I said I'm trying not to move
It's just your ghost passing through
It's just your ghost passing through
and now I'm quite sure
there's a light in your plantoon
I never seen a light move
like yours can do to me
so now I'm wishing for my best impression
of my best Angie Dickenson
but now I've got to worry
cause boy you still look pretty to me

But I've got a place to go
I've got a ticket to your late show
and now I've got to worry cause even still
you sure are pretty
when you're putting the damage on
yes
when you're putting the damage on
you're just so pretty
when you're putting the damage on
