lyrics

Useless as a revolving doorknob,
I turn to more fulfilling endeavors
like balancing a measuring cup
brimming with formaldehyde on my nose…

Ice cube eyes are dissolving under my tongue…

Even myself over an erection,
limbs like helicopter blades spinning
under a ceiling fan, or unrolling a rattlesnake
along the length of a casino floor…

Its ice-cube eyes dissolving under my tongue…

But, seeing as it’s claustrophobic enough
without slithering into the fireplace

I pilot a cryogenic carpet, my arms and legs
thawing out in all directions
like da Vinci sketching
a crucified scarecrow, voodoo doll
pin-cushioned to the illusion
of animation’s cross inverted…
