That's My Girl





She fit the mold, that’s for sure
But that dirty bitch had charisma for miles
And the girls felt the presence, the heat of the shift

“You going to the party?”
“Hell, I’m throwing the party luv.”
“Ain’t no one gonna show.”
“Except you, now don’t go lettin’ me down.”

A threat falls on deaf ears if a girl’s strong
A midnight tryst with butcher’s tools
A blinding light and power ebbs…..sister’s of the mind and the thigh

“Ill take you darlin’ scars and all”
“You gave me these scars.”
“Think of em as sort of comin’ out present.”
“You can have me on Wednesdays, behind the church.”

Gasping for air in a vacuum, like kissing in a tornado
You live or die in a lover’s knot cinched too tight
Shedding your soul for hers feels good until morning

“I have to go home.”
“This is your home, your blood, my blood, it’s the bond.”
“I’ll die before the sun sets.”
“I’ve got a shovel.”


Bayou Moon






The moon smiled and told me that my hair looked swell
And I followed her to the top of that hill
The one where Rosemary lost her cherry, screaming Henry
The one where Jo Boy pulled the trigger, spreading himself thinner

Its voodoo child
You better get on home before Mary rips your eyeballs out
That bridge was made for jumping
That moon, she'll fuck  your head
Laugh at you through the bubbles sure
You best stay in tonight

At  the top of the hill, that moon put on her mask, lord have mercy
And asked if I loved her as much as Henry said
Henry was a no good cheat of a man, I'd kill him if I could
But I blushed and gave her flowers and glimpsed her cleavage

Its voodoo child
That spot just above her legs is angry
Bury you faster than Typhoid Mary
That moon, she'll fuck your head
Laugh at you through the flames burnin'
You best stay in tonight

Have you ever made love to the moon, forget your name
Sweet whiskey dreams and the pungent smell of love on leather
She'll give you things that will make you forget sweet sunshine
Give it up for another taste of her wine, brush of her thigh

Its Voodoo child 
You made your bed boy
She'll cut your throat fine
That moon she'll fuck your head
Laugh at you through your broken dreams
You should have stayed in

Vacancy





I am poison to soft hands  
Moisturizer to those who ask for their hair to be pulled
You looked at my scraped knuckles and immediately pounced
Half of my wardrobe in your closet after two days

But, Jesus, you couldn’t have been more wrong
Flash
About the money, the persona, the hybrid intelligence
Flash
And you try and change me to fit your gutter judgments
Boom

I am poison to the opposite of decency
My boots are not for licking or tromping
They are for walking lightly uphill and sometimes dancing
I hope to hell you find some sort of partner that fucks with their eyes closed

And, Jesus, you could be worth a second glance
Flash
The beauty, the charm, the way you move with grace
Flash
And I try to change you to fit my better judgments (don’t look at me)
Boom

Seeing you later would only prolong the annoyance
Opposites attract....yeah, opposites attract tonight
