hassle-free blvd.
across from hassle-free blvd.
life is sweet at the edge of a razor
with the human factor pushed to it's maximum permissible working pressure I lose my mind for the very last time
bound to an arrest thinking not
my mind is blank
I pick up the morning news
need to cash a check
I feel like a hundred years old though I hoped I would never make 30
my mistress is my junk
never part of the crowd
she mixes the bitter with the sweet now rolling the dice
I know lady luck finally smiled at me

the stakes are getting high
no one smokes no one reads
no one tells a lie
they all just try to get away
and just as they're about to leave
they feel total need
total need to fill their brains with junk-ridden phantasies
about the newest latest
about the latest hype
the air is cool
the mist is gone
you can drink blue water from the sky
and a thousand hungry clocks tick away in total boredom
they leave you blank
for you can only hear their tick tock
and it never ends
there is only two single events in a man's life
the starting and the stopping of the clock
completely de-anxietized
I'm sitting behind my desk
building little wooden boxes out of bamboo
to hide my flesh in them
the flesh I left behind a long time ago
which one day will save me from being recognized
as the one who always tried hard
but never succeeded
the one who had his whole life
laid out perfectly straight right in front of him
the wife
the kids
the suburban single family home
the car
the patio furniture
and the carefully tailored lawn in front of the house
with a little stick-in-the-ground-sign saying
"no ballplaying here!"
it was one of the greatest lovestories of all times
brought to great hights
visually arresting
like bomshell beauties stripping for
emerging executives who explore
sustainable marketing strategies
I hung all that
together with my flesh
and went for a swim
god knows how I hated the lawn in front of the house
green through all seasons
green to an extent as if ants had carefully arranged
green sequin on a million threads piece by piece
and laid them out symmetrically laid them out on the ground
the whole ordeal now shimmering in the morning sunlight
these are early impressions of a breakup

Golden Ash

golden ash
eyes open
debris of one thousand hours
shoes tied
mouth open wide
goodbyes along the way to the station
on the ticket it says
these tracks lead straight to your dream
if you're lucky you will see where they end take this train but be aware
that you can never leave
eyes open
key to all riddles
dream come true
but I can't live it
next thing I know is
I'm sitting again with my head in my hands sipping coffee thinking hard
about how to get out
I catch a plane
I try again
just to stumble over debris I've sowed when I felt golden ash in my eyes diamonds glistening in the light
of another lost moment

the sailor is buying up time
I ran over the water across the bridge hid in wooden flesh
grey-yellow substance of a face
while not exactly invisible
I was at least difficult to see I ran further
hit a tree
climbed down and watched the with the sails steaming
with the sails steaming
the sailor is buying up time
the tree

I was the least difficult to
I ran further
hit a bridge
hid in wooden flesh
I ran over the water across the grey-yellow substance of a face with the sails steaming
with the sails steaming
the sailor is buying up time
further it was at least difficult to see when I hit a grey-yellow substance
that ran over the water
and out of the harbor
my invisible face hid in wooden flesh I ran across the trains
climbed down the tree
and watched time buying
with the sails steaming with the sails steaming
the sailor is buying up
time
I ended up watching across time buying up wooden steam
the bridge
trains go in and out of the harbor
trains go in and out of the harbor see
which was hiding in harbor faces
and difficult to see trains
exactly two grey-yellow minutes further I ran over a tree
climbed down and out of my flesh with the sails invisible

Pray for Pills
05:09
|

crue cut tony, the executive type
tries to jump out of the window
and just as he’s about to fall
he circumvents some of the causes
of his current situation
he falls like a dead bird
in a dark street
a boat anchor passing through heavy traffic
with piss yellow taxi cabs rushing uptown
chorus:
jump jump jump
pray for pills
jump jump jump
hope for yellow hills
to vaccinate your brain
fill it up
with de-anxietizing grain
two flights down the iron stairs
crooning over a spoon of grains
not forcing him to make a move he doesn’t wanna make
is tony long fingers
jumping out of a window
and just tries to jump
some of the causes
leaves the glass
cuts the window

I will never leave this town
I'll always be the one who sticks around
if you wanna leave
you've got to go
I'll never make my way past the door
so I'll always stay around
so I'll always wear a frown
and whatever I feel I will try to drown
and my life goes
down the drain like a broken rose
and I'll never have to face my tale of woes
if you wanna leave you've got to go
I'll never make my way past the door
I'll always stay around
so I'll always wear a frown
and whatever I feel I will try to drown
and my life goes
down the drain like a broken rose
and I'll never have to face my tale of woes
never leave this town
never leave this town
never leave this town
never leave this town

trip with me
trip with me
can't stand a chance turn on the post only sane man
I am
the action you see
moonlit nights
that rip your heart out and eat it stories flare in the west
in a ruined war warehouse
roof of tinfoil tarnished mirror
I return a cigarette to absent tenants
see the reflection
despair and death of myself I'm immune against fear
got a rugged face
need the practice of cruelty and a shave
addicted sleep
in heavenly purple color
a smooth yellow face
lips a blue hypersuspicion
distant mumble
unrecognizable on hearing it again a voice
the moon shines and
I have no native language
thunder not
you're lost
it's friday night
streetlife of a place forgotten clouds men in the world
feel the earth move
sleep in attempted god-head wake to the intervened
and utterly failed
heavenly peace
outside a misty landscape fog seeps
pattern of rain
I feel the rainfall
and sorrow in the air
days go
they can't stay
better stick to your dreams cause there's poor human hearts pounding everywhere

Charm Drink Well

your charm drink well
we felt like pilgrims crossing water crossing down water
down tide
on shoves water
staring down at the tide on leans us tide
ferryman water
the ferryman leans on his pole
the pole
leans staring
leans staring like pole crossing ferryman staring
and shoves us towards the other side felt like we towards water
the other we at crossing like pilgrims towards the pole
and water
don't drink the water from the well water the well the drink
resist should leave
never devil leave drink
resist the devil's soothing charm walking till the charm
from walking well
drink you don't from walking leave charm
and you should never leave your trail walking leave walking on devil
don't your water drink resist trail
your charm drink well just keep on walking till you're gone
keep and never trail walking drink trail
just your charm never the devil
the rain falls from the ground
and drops back to the sky
in mirrorlined cafes ten stories high lizards tigers and reptile hounds
pour stolen whiskey on the ground

The Jig is up

the jig is up
we're on the same road
no personal or professional
tragedies of any kind
the bell is ringing for me one more time
overlooking the harbor downtown
I see the whole town coming awake
this is one hot sunday morning
man look at those vicious little bastards
we'll be lucky to get out of here alive
this is what I tell myself on those hot sundays in new york
we're on the same road
no personal or professional tragedies of any kind
I don't go down there anymore
from now on I'll stay up here if I want to
I'll invite some of my friends
we'll hang
we'll laugh
we'll cry
this is going to be the good life after all
plenty of room to run
this is a hell of a place to go broke
I don't buy the rum
I steal it if I can
we'll drink it on the beach before the sun comes up
cause this is going to be the good life after all
we're on the same road with no tragedies of any kind
the bell is ringing for me one more time
the bell is ringing for me one more time
the bell is ringing for me one more time

I gave the night
all I've got to do
I want to tell you about martha my dear her majesty
I said don't let me down oh darling
but you run for your life everytime when I get home
every little thing
that comes from me to you
happens cause I've got to get you into my life
hold me tight
I call your name
you say I don't want to see you again I pretend I feel fine
but there's nobody I know
you say think for yourself
but not a second time
it's only good morning good morning and never good night
happyness is a warm gun it's a hard day's night here and everywhere
I call your name
I need you
cause tomorrow never knows
don't you think
we can work it out
what goes on
what if I needed someone
I'll cry instead
because I carry that weight
you say cry baby cry
but not a second time
it's only good morning good morning
and never good night
across the universe
all your loving
you gave the night before now there's no reply
only a lonely song
