1.Six More Miles


2.My Window

Steven said, 'Little Ted was dead'
I read in a letter today
The same for Monica's monkey he said
Quietly it passed away

Mister Coo Coo has fallen asleep
His eyes were black and his beak was brown
Mister Coo Coo has fallen asleep
But soon his home will be underground

The wind was cold and the world was old
When I went to my window today
The sky was dark as a hopeless heart
When I went to my window today


3.The Unseen Sister


4.The Lizard Lady

What's a woman going to do
But throw away her bread;
Her feet are feeling funny
As she lies beneath the bed;
She reminisces of the pungent Adriatic Sea,
And then she crawls and counts her cans
And twitches like a flea.

What she really likes to do
Is sit upon a pew,
And make believe that time has stopped
And motionless is new;
Planes are stranded in the sky
And drains are stopping, too,
And she alone is laughing under
Eyelids full of flu.
She scurries hurries worries that
The wicked will receive
Their candy from a handsome man
And coffee from a thief;
She gazes at a hourglass and
Asks it if it cares,
And then she wonders if the lizard
Likes his lettuce rare:

'Lizard, yes a lizard, little lizard of the sea,
Conspicuously alcoholic, flicks his tongue at me!
Release me lizard! Licking lizard,
blizzard of the bea,
Mushed inside a sock you still
dare me --- to die
Dare me to die --- at home...'

'Coating all my lungs with honey,
Sticky coating running runny,
Feet of lizard fly!
And stop and fly and stop and fly
And flicker tongue is licking out
To find me --- feel me. Hide!
Hide from the tongue!
The tongue is coming! Cruising! Oozing!
Over land and under ashes,
In the sunlight, see -- it flashes,
Find a fly and eat his eye,
But don't believe in me.
Don't believe in me.
Don't believe in me.'

6.The Old Woman

Angel, answer my prayer
Answer my prayer tonight
Tell me if anyone cares
If I do what I might
Angel, answer my prayer
And tell me if anyone else
Knows how much I am scared
That I might murder myself

Who will take care of my plants?
Maybe Martha will take care of them
She called on Mother's Day and has a philodendron and a few
ferns
They look terrible though, just like her house
She never dusts her leaves
What about Berta?
She's been married three times, how can she possibly take care
of four kids?
They'll die - I just know these bugs will get them
Aphids - you have to watch for them all the time, they don't
care
Sent Teddy seven fifty for his birthday last week, no thank-you
note
It's all Martha's fault
She's not raising those children right
How long would it be until they noticed?
A week, two weeks, maybe months
I know why, I know why they ignore me
Martha pretends that she doesn't care anymore but I know better
And she's poisoned Berta against me too!
He was old and could barely hop around
And Mark would sure never have done it
Poor thing
Somebody had to do it
Somebody had to


7.Boxes Of Armageddon

Boxes full of Armageddon, boxes full of death
Boxes sitting in my doorway, boxes someone left for me to see
Boxes full of Armageddon, boxes full of death for me to see
Boxes full of Armageddon, boxes full of death for me to see

They were well worn cardboard boxes bulging from the weight
Of documents obsessed with mindless slaughter and decay for me
to see
Boxes that depicted a sad reality full of fiction and
reflections of insanity
For me to see, for me to see

Boxes full of Armageddon, boxes full of death for me to see
Boxes full of Armageddon, boxes full of death for me to see
Boxes full of Armageddon, boxes full of death for me to see

Boxes full of Armageddon
Boxes full of Armageddon, boxes full of death
