Episode 24 – Bad Eggs

some texas tough guys
came to town
they tried to take me out

but then

♫ he kissed me
ooh ooh
he kissed me♫

they weren’t
the brightest stars
so i had to
knock ‘em down

but then

♫ he kissed me
ooh ooh
he kissed me♫

and the child
of a chicken
is an egg

and the offspring
of a cow
the coldest milk

my egg
didn’t move me
so i took it to a movie

and

when there was
no popcorn
i almost ate my young

♫ ooh ooh
ooh ooh ♫

the children rose against me
mother father by their side

but you

you stood right by me
and you didn’t try to fry me

♫ ‘til he kissed me
(breathe)
he kissed me ♫

then the texans
fought beside me
took the mother
monster down

and i wanted
to believe her
but she’s still the
great deceiver

then
(say it with me)

♫ he kissed me
ooh ooh
he kissed me ♫

Episode 23 – Ted

a mother
throws her daughter kisses
embarrassing but
pleasing her with affection

a father
disappears
leaving men in his wake
who steal her candy

a monster
hides behind
the human face
offering sweet rewards

the mask stays on
in company
but the girl must touch
the rotting flesh below

swinging solitary
in moonlight
the girl can’t feel her hands
since he fell

and mother
has no tongue to speak
of the monsters
who come
to take her daughter

Episode 21 & 22 – What’s My Line

In my lavender sweater,
I pirouette,

feeling weary,
seeking comfort
on your pillow.

Tarot cards, dance with me,
grant me kisses when I’m scared.

In my white sweater,
I pace

beneath the full moon,
finding you again
after many lifetimes.

Tarot cards, tell me tales
l can’t remember.

In my darkest gown,
I fall,

seeking strength
in sorrow,
enough to rise again.

Episode 19 – Lie to Me

red runs
’round and ’round

run

or you’ll be caught
in the brambles

thorns
piercing your heart

white and flowing
i disappear
singing my mother’s song

red runs
my secrets

for truth is black
and yours prove
even darker

sing to me
for i can trust
no one

and

in my red coat
you betray me

Episode 17 – Reptile Boy

It’s too quiet.

Hooded men chase me
through graveyards.

I fall into an open grave,
feel lonely when I think of kissing you.

Broken glass, flying horses,
think I’ve had too much to drink.

I see shadows on the stairwell,
boys in lipstick, girls in chains.

Long legs, black dress,
think I’ve had too much to drink.

Little girls, all in a row,
sweet offerings.

Boys can be such snakes.

Episode 16 – Inca Mummy Girl

The wizard
would be cool
with a pocket protector.
No status required.

He’s striped van,
lead guitar,
sweet harmony.
He doesn’t need to sing.

Maybe a girl
in an eskimo suit
could turn him on.
She looks snug

*sigh*

standing in furs,
spear in hand.
The wizard spots
her through the crowd,
can’t look away.

(Nothing distracts
the great Oz.)

Eskimo girl flees
as her dreams
are inhaled
by a princess.

She doesn’t
see the wizard
come to ask
for her hand.

But he,
as patient as he is cool,
is more than
willing to wait.

There’s plenty of time
to find love
among the fishes.

Episode 15 – School Hard

He rolls up,

heavy metal boots,
cigarettes,
flowing coat.

Nice smile, but
don’t believe it.

Darkness softens
as he looks upon
his icy princess.

Long and white
she wilts,
a daisy
without sun.

She’s roses
and thorns,
always thorns.

Lay your head
for a comfort.
Lay your head
for a song.

Toss the birdy
in a cage,
twirl me ’round,
twirl me ’round.

Music box,
she must play.
Fires burns,
we can’t stay.

Episode 14 – Some Assembly Required

I’m bored
waiting for you
to wake up.

Jealousy flutters
the air.
We fight.

Sometimes
it’s the only
interesting part.

Girls come in pieces
blonde
and there are parts
brunette
I like best.

The red head is dead,
he said
with a smile.

She screamed.
I feel dirty all over.

And the fire
burned as hot
as the sun

on that day
we walked home
together.
