Salt Marsh
When you’ve put aside your creamy candies
Follow the forbidden road
Past the crummy asphalt land
To where the salty rushes grow
The web of roots and rhizomes
Grassblood tangle of weeds and palmetto
The slicing sawgrass fingers
Risky region of fish and mosquitoes
Sand will reach each crease and crevice
Sulfur seasons rack your bones
Can’t you see you don’t belong here
Can’t you see you’re not at home
The wading birds complaining
Moonsong heard where the tides are receding
Ominous sounds of water
Go now leave the invertebrates breeding
Here everything its place of birth
Here everything returns to earth
Here uncanny peace and strife
Go live your little human life
Birth and death must not surround you
These extremes are not your call
Fish and fowl and worm deny you
Seek the comfort of your hall
The smell of decomposing
Tread not here where the bugs are prolific
Boot sucks up marshmud bubbles
Tombgas primitive scent of placenta

Say Ok
One night I was walking cross the Main Street Bridge
I found out I wasn’t walking cross the Main Street Bridge
Well the river down below me was a television image
For the white caps on the water you can hardly see the waves
The algorithm measures and predicts its spiky shape
In the frantic operation comes a message for the age
It says straighten up and say that you’re OK
Everything is telling me that I’m OK
Everything is telling me that I’m OK
Everything is telling me that I’m OK
And a chilly cold wind started up to blow
Such a cold cold wind will chill you to the bone
Yes and when the flakes start falling and you can never never go home
On a nonexistent channel how they hit the icy slopes
You can’t help but see a pattern in the random swirling snow
Those perfect healthy bodies gonna show you what to know
They say join the fun shut up and say OK
Everything is telling you &c. Say OK say OK say OK
See the children dancing regimented dancing
Regulated elbows regulated knees
Well the screen is colder than the icy slush
Nevermore to feel the warmth of your mother’s touch
Never get enough you’re getting getting too much
Oh the smallest things invisible are focused tuned and aimed
The planets and the stars they are commissioned bagged and weighed
The Hitler Youth for Jesus are holding a parade
They say get in line shut up and say OK

Lying Crying
I saw you lying on the floor I saw you crying on the floor
I saw you lying lying crying lying on the floor
That’s when I knew you swore you’d never love me no more
I heard you talking in your sleep I heard you walking in your sleep
I heard you talking talking walking talking in your sleep
That’s when I knew you’d never never be mine to keep
Don’t leave me don’t leave me can’t you see I love you so
Please need me please need me I need to never let you go
I saw you haunting in the night I saw you flaunting in the light
I saw you haunting haunting flaunting in the lights at night
I knew that never again would everything be alright
I love you I love you I don’t know what else I can say
I love you I love you I hate to see our love decay
I’m breaking up it’s breaking up
I’m breaking down we’re breaking up
You just don’t need me

Acrid Putrescence
I detect a baleful presence and it’s something you can smell
Witness thou the rising essence of a disgusting tale to tell
Never mind your childish preference you have joined the judgment sessions
Just as you surmise rising to the skies whiff your own acrid putrescence
On the day of your pubescence when the big decay sets in
Then begins your acquiescence in the dire wages of sin
Behold my obsolescence long since my adolescence
The world I knew so fair and new filled with acrid putrescence
There’s a sparkling iridescence to the fragrant rotting meat
Destiny of foul excrescence to the tasty food you eat
I prefer the moony crescents to sunshine’s incandescence
That opens near so stark and clear the world’s acrid putrescence
All life requires corruption to survive
All life needs putrefaction thus to thrive
So spread the swine manure on your lawn
You too will feed the grass when you are gone
It’s an age of decadescence
There will be no Christmas presents
Gobble down anti-depressants
As you sink into senescence
Feel your body’s deliquescence
Lounge in languid convalescence
And indulge your fat tumescence
Having learned the painful lessons
Of your cheesy concupiscence
You can see the luminescence
Like a blinding phosphorescence
Of the fateful omnipresence
Of your own acrid putrescence

In the Loop
You’re in the loop her wicked loop
Orbit her planetary purpose
You’ll kiss the boot jump through the hoop
Join in her soul-decaying circus
She’s got the noose around your neck
Now you can flop upon deck
Now feel all humble-ing sensations
She’s got the key to all your woes
She got the ring piercing your nose
Disciplinary exaltations
You’re in the loop her wicked loop
Now she controls your life’s direction
One of the group one lazy scoop
She’s added you to her collection
Now let us teach you how to pray
Now let us school you what to say
Now you must beg for her to like you
Now that she’s got you on your knees
Worship her fearful symmetries
Hands on each side ready to strike you
Behold her minions in a row
Behold how we put on the show
Enter and exit at her pleasure
No need to kick and raise a fuss
Now you belong as one of us
One little jewel in her treasure

Losing My Voice
Think I got a blown speaker in the back seat of my car
I can hear it shake I can can hear it rattle
I hear the shivering sounds but I can’t bear to name what they are
When they’re accusing me of negligent excess
I don’t bear burden any time I make a mess oh
But I know it’s just a symptom
A speaker only answers to the signal that it gets
That’s how you know machines they know exactly what you’re thinking ah
I think I’m losing my voice I think I’m losing my voice
I must have sung it too loud I think I’m losing my voice
Now one of the things you won’t be hearing me sing about
Is my personal feelings on emotions
On the subject of the passions I can nevermore speak out about
How you might wish they would evaporate
Lose their effect on you and merely fade away oh
And let you feel alright
Even though you know it’s just a lie
Let you forget it when you made somebody cry
I think I’m losing &c.
A singer like me don’t need to spend a night out in the rain
If he wants to catch a case of laryngitis
He knows a quicker way to reach the bliss of vocal strain
He’s just gotta be a aware how he’s hanging out
Everybody knows exactly what he’s all about
He ain’t got no secrets
He ain’t got nothing nobody needs
And anybody listening out there knows that it’s a fool you see
I think I’m losing &c.

Torna (Falling)
You may find yourself yearning
To the earth to be returning
For the rest you have been earning
All the days you’ve been awake
While the day is calmly ending
Nightfall gently is descending
Light and dark lusciously blending
Mingled fragrances ascending
Toward decline your thoughts are tending
Old Decay you are befriending
To him songs of love you’re sending
Quiet breath away to take
Do not think you’re leaving
No one here is deceiving
Let be no grieving
Do not fear falling down
All of the bridges they are falling down
The London bridges they are falling down
And all the bridges down in Jacksonville are falling falling falling down
All of the skyscrapers are falling down
All of the palaces are falling down
Don’t give your heart and soul to things material things falling falling down
And all the lovely things are falling down
And all the ugly things are falling down
And all the secret things you covet falling falling down

Make It, Dirty
It’s a mighty long road
The world is old and getting old
And this country’s seen enough to make a blind man walk
Yeah we’re living in a junk pile
But there’s a rhythm in a junk pile
You got plenty here to make what all the hell you want
Pretty soon I’m going to tear this building down
And every time I see the sun go down I’m going to dance and howl
And sing make it dirty make it dirty
Tell me a story and make it dirty
Take a good old song and break it up
The feeling will find a way
Don’t you love that woman dancing over there
She’s dressing out like the county fair
She got lights all around her and her mood ring glow
She’s put together like a royal crown
She won a million in the lightning round
She was in the paper on the counter at the grocery store
Pretty soon she going to make her lights go out
And every time I see the sun go down I’m going to dance and howl &c.
Making something out of something else right now
And every time I see the sun go down I’m going to dance and howl &c.

Not Just Any

The dish not just any dish ran away with the special spoon
Not just any spoon ran away with the dish
My love not just any love ran away with the special guy
Not just any guy ran away with my love
Not just any not just any you’ve got plenty you can choose
Not just any not just anything will do
Something special just don’t settle for just any
Not just any not just any not just any
The cat not just any cat sat upon the special mat
Not just any mat was sat on by the cat
My life not just any life isn’t worth a special damn
Not just any damn is not worth my life
Not just any &c.
I I I I not just any I feel like I’m fixing to special die
Not just any die I feel like I’m fixing to
Not just any &c.
The end not just any end of the song is the special this
Not just any this is the end of the song

Word Talking
I am word talking man I am word talking man
I got words louder than actions gonna make everybody understand
I have seen the end of the world I have seen the end of the world
Oh the sorrow and the suffering little girl little girl
I am word talking man I am word talking man
I got words knock down palaces knock down empires where they stand

Decay
I am Decay
The lord of all the things that decompose
All that which opens comes to me to close
You know me
I am the wheel of life’s downturning side
Where soon you will abide
Come dance with me
I am Decline
The blessed sun himself falls in the west
Leaving in darkness you and all the rest
You know me
I am the destiny of all that stands
All matter in my hands
Come dance with me
I am Decay
I am the force that dwells so deep beneath all lovely things
For without me the sweetest blushing flower never springs
I am Decease
You know from story and from song of old
Things fall apart the center cannot hold
You know me
All beauty fades all love must breathe its last
Affections in the past
Come dance with me
I am Decay
I am the spirit of the compost pit
The essence of the fertilizing shit
Come dance with me

Head Explode
You keep telling me I can’t
You don’t know me well enough
I start dropping things when you talk like that
Everybody has got their stuff
Don’t burden me with no heavy load
I will not let my head explode
‘Cause I break it up when my head explode
You got a million rules putting me in debt
Nobody gonna make me multitask
I don’t live my life living under threat
I can’t do my thing and watch my ass
I do not honor your honor code
I will not let &c.
I try to drive my car take it nice and slow
Everybody else fast and furious
Trying to gain attention so everybody knows
Neither life nor death is taken serious
It’s nightmare out there on the open road
I will not let &c.
Everywhere I look it’s a vision of hell
Broke up skulls broke up leg bones
I saw woman’s face look like an empty shell
Nothing can be seen if it isn’t shown
Everybody reaps what they have sowed
I will not let &c.

Breaking It Up
We are breaking it up
We break it up so we can break it down
Returning all the good stuff to the ground
The world keeps turning turning round and round and round
Turn over a log
Now see our bustling community
Down here’s the hub of all activity
The bugs and fungi we’re a happy family
We’re mixing it up
Terrestrial crustaceans in the house
The rolypolies party and carouse
Spiders and worms they’re dancing with that old wood louse
Cockroaches cockroaches
Superheroes of the dark
Cockroaches cockroaches
Always going to leave their mark
We’re mixing it up
The beetle grubs working their implements
And all the molds they spin their filaments
Earwigs and ants consume the tasty condiments
Cockroaches cockroaches
Can’t you see they’re having a ball
Cockroaches cockroaches
Going to outlive us all
We’re breaking it down
We break it down so we can break it up
Keep out of sight we keep it covered up
We put the wine back in your loving cup
We’re breaking it up
Making decomposition at the molecular level
We break it down before it burns up like the devil
We break it break it break it up &c.

Any Eye
Everything’s just a little worse than it ever ever used to be
It’s just decay as far as any eye can see
