get this out of my head
get this out
of my
head
you don't need sleep motherfucker
i hope this means nothing to you
this isn't for you

valerie fell apart
putting herself together
lipstick perfection
drugstore glamour
addicted to killing reality
with drugs sex the
money drowning in it
you never eat
you see yourself in the music
(you’re the girl the rock stars write about)
you see yourself reflected in the faces of the faceless
(you’re the girl Johnny Nameless wants to fuck)
and you’re no big deal
just another fake
cut open the plastic you bleed
cut open your heart you
But wait. Do you remember New Year’s Eve with the family and all the warm feelings we had? The snow was falling hard and I held you close. I swore I’d never let you go. I swore
this is just another, another
another, another, another
another, another
another
bits and pieces
he bit her face to pieces
dirty little fuck toy
lick you clean
fuck your man. fuck your career. fuck your clothes. fuck your drugs.
you should take a rest
then come back and
smile for me
who knew
she would die strapped
to a bed
wrists torn
head bobbing and her
eyes wide open?
victim, they said
her boyfriend killed himself
he just couldn’t feel
something, anything
that would make him
human again
funny she never screamed
her hands were cold as hell

Cherish the moon and drink happy-go-lucky
Stars but don’t forget the morning paper and to tip
the paperboy He’s fifteen he plays
Baseball his mother invited us for tea at
Eleven but I can’t make it tired too sick
Hung over the night before go
Without me

He said she said he said she
Said he said she said he said Label
me this Label that me I
Fucked the Governor’s daughter She
Screamed and moaned I stuck
Four fingers in her hole she
Bled and
Bled

BIRTH
Crystal,
You’re alive
Reanimated from the Death
I’m happy, I rejoice
I sing His praises
I read His books
I speak His Word
Glory hallelujah Praise the Lord
You’re alive as long as I’m dead
DENIAL
The sickness overtook her
On the fifth of November
Her Father blamed me
Though it was part of God’s design
To guilt I do resign
Glistening locks of golden hair
Stained with life’s crimson tear
I smell her demise and lick it clean
I wonder if she ever loved me
THIS IS THE END
Ruined, I bleed love from opened pores
Soaking in the light of afternoon sun
Wet spots break and capture pale moon flesh
- Heart pumps slow -
Slits pulsate
I’m leaving her because I love her
Ethereal, not quite dead
Bullet trigger cock and aim
SHOOT ME
(I love you)
See no tears
The fabric mends disillusionment
Red flashes equal pain
Is it over I think Yes
did you know:
yo la tengo doesn't mean anything to me anymore
i feel worse when i'm with you than when i'm without you
