i am the secret caucus
i am the origami child
from your scar tissue
i am the chronic car crash
but not a part of you
the eye of your storm
i am the swelling driftwood
i am the amber of your womb
you never forget
i am the violator
i am the fallacy of truth
you never forgive
i go head first

“haven’t seen my face in moons...”
the creatures wake tonight
by the way they look, they surely could
the wicked, the wicked!
and the winning goes to homies
military chant
never fault your heroes
failing on the number game
calculated smile
returning home with zero
what have you lost?
swearing on the fuzzy tube
a bleeping waste of time
and the waking on your telly
has your name
i switch it off
the room turns dark
there’s no one home
i switch it on
your reflection
it’s a miracle the angel came
with a brand new nose and smile
how glamorous the heavens are
this time of year
the lady loathes the media sharks
she claims on four
whilst she waits for the next tv spot
to bark the same
i miss the news I skip the talk
i heard it all
there’s another war of words in two
are you still on hold?
match the face to win the prize
it pays to buy the rags
how much more should we know?
i switch it off
reflection stares
who is that child
with the brave cold eyes?

you wanna be you and me
but you don’t know me
and you can’t feel me
i read your message
filthy little pictures
you’re offering love to picture #5, #9, #4
but you live so far away
a trillion bits away
so how can we be? how could we be?
i browse the universe
collecting “little” people
publishing private pictures
answering pleasure
indiscretion is sorted
secret little folders
i’ll soon forget you there’s so much more to see
plenty more to see...
but the world seems so small
at my little black box
so why can’t we be? why can’t we be?

La Dame Lézard

she lives at the corner
she’ll shed all her skin off
she wants nothing but feel anew
she’s a man who wants you to be
another step above le dogue & queers
the wait is over
a furry boy to lick her wounds
she needs a hand to drag her away!
you wait at the corner
you won’t see her again
she is hiding under your flesh
bitter taste of why in your soul
le bon dieu dans la rue s’ennui always
god bless the sinner
the time has come for you to leave
(where shall you go now?)
the lady lizard stole your name

arrested by the fear
a rustle in the dirt
it feeds your weakness
and leaves you wanting more
the windows on the wall
shade all the stars and son
there’s something out there
it makes the faintest roar
in the gardens everywhere
a restless pain devours
you seem so distant
yet they love you all the more
no one has the answers
to the questions you hold
your hunger never dies
the dinosaurs arise

the man is upstairs again
looking to step beyond the cage
his eyes are closed and dry
his arms wide open

i feel I’m home when you're lying there
watching over you
the sun is in my head
all the world has turned to dusk
the only light that shines is you
please stay awhile
i don't wanna be
(stay with me)
all alone
i don't wanna feel
runaway with me
i don't wanna be
runaway with me
you promise me the world again tonight

this old dream
this old love
reminding me how it used to be
i never wanted this
i never wanted any of this
we wasted our love on the machines
we wasted our time on those friends of yours
oh I wish you were dead
you’re just a wasted of time
you’re just a piece of decay
this old dream was just a dream
i’ll never see you again

i’m falling in your arms
won’t you make me feel wanted
for the last time
greed will go away
never felt happier than today
feel the dawning of my breath
sucking in so tenderly
so silently
you will remember me
a storm in your see of thoughts
a whisper that dreams forever

the thought that I choose is
the one that crush me down
for the love that I need is
the love that eats me out
and I have always thought of all your needs
for I cannot recall my own desires
and I feel it’s all over
and I think it’s all been said and done
oh why do I let you in on and on?

la ville est belle dans le noir

tu cours et je te suis
