note:i cant really tell when lockett is saying "come for me" versus "cover me" versus "comfort me," but its basically stream of consciousness so i don't think its of any significance what he says
come for me
you come for me
come for me
comfort me
come for me
cover me
come for me
comfort me
i had a dream
no longer to be free
i want only to see
four walls made of concrete
6 by 6 enclosed
soon we're on video oh oh oh
feed me twice a day
i want to fade away
away
come for me
come for me
come for me
come for me
come for me
cover me
come for me
come for me
and after some time
i know i would go blind
but seeing wont lift binds
the vision to the eye
i lose my voice i know
but ive nothing left to say
(nothing left to pray)
no echo in this place
. . .

i had dreams
that frightened me awake
i happened to escape
but my escape
would never come
would never come
would never come
would never come
i had plans
to go away for days
to try and risk a pace
that haunts my days
that haunts my days
haunts my days
haunts my days
haunts my days
i love
enter in my heart
it never stops
it never stops
oh enter
oh enter
oh enter
oh enter
it never stops
it never stops
it never stops
it never stops
it never...
ahhhhh

Kids drinking gin on the, the front lawn
The kids see that man walking down, the dirt road
Tthese kids see the sky and they think of him dressed in flames
Kids walk behind, slowly stalk, that old man
To get older still
To get older still
To get older still
To get older still
These kids followed him to his shed
Where he turns on the radio and smokes a cig
These kids come with gasoline and they strike a match
To get older still
To get older still
To get older still
To get older
To get older still
(repeat)

All I've
seen
All I've
seen
Try to
describe it
In the time
of all of it
Try not to
come to bed
Warm and
I might slip
I might do
I might
Try to
describe it all
In your time
end it all
All I do
it may be not it
On and on
it could be my begining
All thru time
All thru time

i tried
i tried....

Only when I dream but there's no way out
You learn to talk, you learn to shout
Focus on depth that was never there
Eliminate what you can't repair
Nothing ever happened to me
Nothing ever happened to me
Nothing ever happened to me
Life just passing, flash right thru me
See thru the wind to awakened stream
Adjust yr eyes to the state of things
Focus on depths that was never there
Nothing's easy nothing's fair
Nothing ever happened to me
Nothing ever happened to me
Nothing ever happened to me
Life just passing, flash right thru me
I never, saw it coming
waiting for something, for nothing
I never, saw it coming
waiting for something, for nothing

Mrs. Hemmings was OAO,
Pretty soon we were all OAO,
We were captured by victorian vampires.
With elaborate designs
With elaborate designs
This is the land of OAO
This is the land of OAO
This is the land of OAO
This is the land of OAO
Left//
We are a romanian sound collage
searching for the ghost of past sinners (?)
but this futile coffin will not
let us gain entry
into the immortal soul
of the redneck!!
you are trapped in your basement
for a war of 16 years
to combat prevention
and in combat with yourself
we are in combat with these cultural vampires
we were trapped in the basement
we were trapped in the basement of the teenage halfway hell!!
Right
Old black bandit
I can't stand it
I'm your planet
Old black bandit
I can't stand it
I'm your planet
I was saved by old times
I was saved by old times
I was saved by old times
I was saved by old times
I was saved by old times
I was saved by old times
I was saved by old times
I was saved by old times

So long to the
the days you grow sad of
And you
try to find
Not much for you to hold
The more
That you hold the
The more you feel alone
And wait
Until you can wait
Until you can wait
Until you can wait
no more
So long to the
the days you come to know
So you had to
to get there on your own
to wait
to grow old
You're waiting
to grow old
Until you can wait
Until you can wait
Until you can wait
Until you can wait
no more
Until you can wait
Until you can wait
Until you can wait
Until you can wait
Until you can wait
Until you can wait
Until you can wait
Until you can wait
no more

Go to the shore and, pray for the sea.
Go towards the mirror and, pray that you'll see,
Someone else.
Downtown, go downtown.
Go to the waves of grain in the center of the state.
Go away.
Go to a parking lot, sit on the ground, and cry.
You'll never know why.
Start over.
Go to the ocean on a ship.
Wave goodbye to the waves and the frozen shit
that was in your heart.
So long.
Time slows when it goes away.
Go away.
Time Slows.
So long.

I haunted a basketmaker's shop.
Spending days ripping pictures from magazines, taping them to the walls of my prison.
I remember walking by the sand, each knob represented a different frequency range,
and I remember holding the hand of the skeleton prince and he swept me into his arms, and he, he had tremolo deep in the back of his black eye sockets, and he said,
"Do you want to come away with me into the pitch black pool?"
And I said, "I don't know, I don't know, I don't know..."
Photocopied
The wind ripped through the trees and all the stained-glass windows rattled.
I haunted a basketmaker's shop in 1927 -
And on the beach in the summer there were thunderstorms constantly, and they were unpredictable, nobody knew when they would come and nobody knew how long they'd last.
Sometimes they'd only last five minutes, and sometimes, weeks.
I haunted a basketmaker's shop because I had nowhere to go
(one long weekend)
Stained-glass windows turning off and on and the tremolo in the back dark corners,
cobwebs stripped, mildewed.
I remember acoustic guitars and bells, I remember the cathedral.
I remember cassettes, cathedral.
I remember cassette cathedral.
I remember cassette cathedral.

I've looked
I've seen, I've seen
I've looked
I will always see, I've seen
For the miracles of youth
I've looked
I will always see, I've seen
When friends go away for a while
They always come back
But now, if friends
Go away for a while
And they never come back

Crucified on a cross
In front of all my closest friends
Crucified on a cross
In front of all my closest
Crucified on cross revealed
With finest wood and rope so thick
My arms, my wrists would bleed for weeks
My arms, my wrists would bleed for
Crucified on a cross
In front of all my closest friends
Crucified with backstage pass
Crucified on drum throne
