Can you make it your own
Can you take it by the throat

Get in early for the kill

Define yourself by it
Take it down ‘the disco
Trigger happy, pulling… Continue reading A few words for the dead

The amazing thing: you turned me on nat’rally
Oh and I kiss you when I please.

( You’ve got me floatin’, never down )
Hey ! Touch the ceiling babe
( You’ve got me floatin’,… Continue reading You got me floatin’
