No Pressure Over Cappuccino


And you're like a 90's Jesus
And you revel in your psychosis
How dare you?
You sample concepts like hors d'heurves
And you eat their questions for dessert
And is it just me or is it hot in here?

And you're like a 90's Kennedy
And you're only a million years old.
You can't fool me.

They'll throw opinions like rocks in riots
And they'll stumble around like hypocrites
And is it just me or is it dark in here?

You may never be or have a husband
You may never be or have a child
You will learn to loose everything
We are temporary arrangements

And you're like a 90's Noah
And they laughed at you when you packed all of your things
And they wonder why you're frustrated
And they wonder why you're so angry
Is it just me or are you set up

And God bless you in your travels, in your conquests, and queries

Princes Familiar


Please be philosophical
Please be tapped into your feminity
Please be able to take the wheel from me
Please be crazy and curious

Papa love your princess so that she will find loving princes familiar
Papa cry for your princess so that she will find gentle princes familiar

Please be a sexaholic
Please be unpredictably miserable
Please be self absorbed much (not the good kind)
Please be addicted to some substance

Papa listen to your princess so that she will find attentive princes familiar
Papa hear your princess so that she will find curious princes familiar

Please be the jerk of my knee i've fit you always
You finish my sentences I think I love you
What is your name again no matter i'm guessing your thoughts again
Correctly and I love the way
You press my buttons so much sometimes I could strangle you

Papa laugh with your princess so that she will find funny princes familiar
Papa respect your princess so that she will find respectful princes familiar

Please be strangely enigmatic
Please be just like my

These Are The Thoughts


These are the thoughts that go through my head
In my backyard on a Sunday afternoon
When I have the house to myself and I am not
Expending all that energy on fighting with my boyfriend
Is he the one that I will marry?
And why's it so hard to be objective about myself?
Why do I feel cellularly alone?
Am I supposed to live in this crazy city?
Can [this] blindly continued fear induce
Regurgitated life denying tradition be overcome?
Where does the money go that I send to those in need?
If we have so much why do some people have nothing?
Still, why do I feel frantic when I first wake up in the morning?
Why do you say you are spiritual?
Yet you treat people like shit
How can you say you're close to God;
And yet you talk behind my back as though I'm not a part of you
Why do you say you’re fine when it's obvious you are not?
Why’s it so hard to tell you what I want?
Why cant you just read my mind?
Why do I fear that the quieter I am the less you will listen?
Why do I care whether you like me or not?
Why’s it so hard for me to be angry?
Why is it such work to stay conscious and so easy to get stuck?
And not the other way around?
Will I ever move back to Canada again?
I'd be with a lover with whom I am a student
And I'll master "why am I encourages to shed mine?"
Move when it gets too close
To home why cannot I live in the moment?

King Of Pain


( Cover of The Police )

There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday
There's a black hat caught in a high tree top
There's a flag-pole rag and the wind won't stop

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

There's a fossil that's trapped in a high cliff wall
That's my soul up there
There's a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall
That's my soul up there
There's a blue whale beached by a springtime's ebb
That's my soul up there
There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

There's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out
There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt
There's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed
There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread

There's a red fox torn by a huntsman's pack
There's a black-winged gull with a broken back
There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

Queen of pain
I'll always be queen of pain
I'll always be queen of pain
