lyrics

brush brush brush brush
movement as such and the ensuing hush
trust trust trust trust
movement as such and the ensuing lust
brush brush brush brush
movement as such and the ensuing hush
lust lust lust lust
movement as such and the ensuing touch

hook hook hook hook
huh huh huh huh
hoof hoof hoof hoof
hooves to the turf and claws out by birth

who the fuck
wasn’t plucked
from the tuck above a rupture
stuck nine months prior thrust
with all the fervor luck could muster
amidst the fuss of coitus and blusterous
transfer of love curds?
in other words: not you -
madam imbued with freshly-spewed fondue,
much ado canoe in the cavernous break through cap screw
came to and withdrew, thank you point of view
pornography
oddly ensuing odyssey of our progeny
fondling wantonly
in their younger more sumptuous years
rabbit ears and souvenirs below the neck line
found womanhood in the sanctity of saddle
so get off your fucking high horse and straddle

hook hook hook hook
huh huh huh huh
hoof hoof hoof hoof
hooves to the turf and claws out by birth

oooh move your feet now baby (go'n 'head and move your feet)
i said oooh, move your feet now lady, lady (don't you wait for me)
oooh move your feet now baby (go'n 'head and move your feet)
i said oooh, move your feet now lady (and don't you wait for me)

succumbing to banality’s overbearing weight
we oft feel forced to embrace the least flagrant of the uninteresting
destitution bound artist’s destiny
sympathy transmitted disappointments
cancel my next epidemic
these women prefer digital pyrotechnics
and lukewarm sex techniques.
yes, heaven has a brand new haircut
betwixt your hips and well below your waistline
mind if i snap chat our strip session face times?
as long as i can taste the brine
leaning dangerously o’er watercolors painting isle nigh
suffice to say seize the day and sigh
thy blank canvas naked and bald as a baby,
so lady point your toes to the sky

hook hook hook hook (go'n 'head and move your feet)
huh huh huh huh (don't you wait for me)
hoof hoof hoof hoof (go'n 'head and move your feet)
hooves to the turf and claws out by birth (and don't you wait for me)

for my retired friend infatuation
i apologize for speaking so sexually in cypher
but the you i painted will understand
i’ve colored you so you could
stand on a pedestal in my celestial hortus conclusus
dormus mea crescent animi florum groomed
‘til we eclipse traumatic canvas
i’ve become less a bastion of habit than a schematic for addicts
let’s just pretend twenty eleven never happened
or anything since for that matter
what matters is you’re the most beautiful
and i’m a nigh goddamned gardener pruning
verses for turgid lyric-writing juvenilia
sunflowers whose parents professed romantic bacchanalia
to hyacinths kissing penning du fu in the porch-light
erudite highly unlikely
their front yards and footprints were rather unsightly
but i hope you live forever
and i die sometime in the night rain yesterday
following ten glasses of wine
raised to all our former friends who didn’t make it
and all the world’s children
raised to all our former friends who didn’t make it
and all the world’s children... who have fallen.

breathe.
