The Sea Sessions
I could wait all night for you to creep up the stairs
Buildings keep us apart; nothing’s shared,
Now you sleep by the sea and I can’t be repaired.
There’s a box anchored to the ocean
Where he hid miscellaneous affections
Sometimes the sharks eat
Comical highs, sure
Yes we had our fair share and then some more.
But I am a burnt out star
It’s gone and it leaves a mark
I could wait all night for you to creep up
But you sleep by the sea
And not by me.

Down With The Wildlife
Swimming with the tidlers
Biting like a shark on heat
Beating up the tuna
Hungry, hungry beasts
Down with the wildlife.
Running with the rhino
Sunning with the elephant
Hung like a minotaur
Full moon
Down with the wildlife.
Out with the tomcats
Sniffing out the pussycats
I’ll be your oncopig
Born in a petri dish
Dogs’ dinner by day
Bruce Wayne by night
Down with the wildlife.

In the capsule of the werewolf heart
I was lying on my bed, alone
And as useless as a dismembered arm
And the ceiling seemed to bulge
As if pregnant by something in the attic
So I got to my feet and went to the window
And I looked over the rooftops
And there you were
Luminous and hovering over your house
There you were
And I thought: if I could fly
I could be at your house in no time at all
And I would bite into you
And then I wouldn’t have to think
All these crazy things
That need to be let out
When the night comes around
That need to be let out
When the night comes to town.

The Romance of the Colossus
If I was a colossus
Made by mankind’s folly
Made to show God is empty
Of influence upon us
If I was that colossus
Looking for you across the city
Through barely populated streets
But walking upon the cars
And should any wall keep me from you
I would rip it open with my fist
My eyes the colour of Mars
My lips too big to kiss
Would you faint in my arms?
The arms of this colossus?
Well those arms will crush
Those who might come for us
We would hide by the bridge
And you would love this colossus
And we might live free of mankind
That made me by such folly.
