Ain't no place like America today

 Ain’t no place like America today 


I’m empty 

are you empty 


I want to share my emptiness 

with you 


we could fill each other

with these feelings 


we could fill each other with emptiness 

until we feel full 


I could move things around 

so could you 


we could change some colors 

and the mood 


until that emptiness 

was the color of the new 


and then maybe 

we would be too tired 


and that we would decide 

to be good

Life of the ****

  Life of the ****   I love your body   I made a map that I study   there’s just one thing   that distracts me from loving   ideas haunt me   they take me out for shopping   through imagination   stretching endlessly   tell me what you’re building   behind those eyes   come live with me   in the life of the mind   we go from the streets   to penthouse high   but there’s something   more precious by design   enough parties   enough clothes   can’t spend hours   talking about sports   give me a novel or a film obscure my mind’s got enough   junk to last months

  Mayor McGuffin We are products of our times  these thoughts aren’t mine  everything passes through us  from sewers to the divine  I vibe on your signal  you wave you particle  merge into a molecule  divide for reaction deaf dumb and blind  slaves to the grind  compressed coal hearts  exploited diamond mines we see through the veil  dancing snake-tailed  impatient for the end  skipping enlightenment  I drive this carcass  despite warnings  from weather service  to deliver you a package
