Corpse Poetry

from Quitting by Marble Berry Seeds

/

lyrics

Colonies of fire ants
Disband and reunite around my shamrock feet
My branches form the china bowl that hold Jehova’s arteries
You can watch them rot and bloom on repeat
Fed on espresso beans and failure
Next to a trailer, well-hidden in the long lemongrass
One misstep away from a serpent made out of cigarette ash

All day, all day
Comfort is in short supply
I want truth, I want warmth, I want to die

Through the rotary winds phasered inflection
I heard the ultra-violet voice of Jim Hensen
He was singing the last verse of rainbow connection
Then he was gone, gone, gone in the pentagrams perfection
But before he left me to the company of the sprouted candlewicks
He told me to drink tomato sauce and take iron supplements
He told me to keep my feet out of other people’s shit
He told me to quit smoking
Fuck off Jim I’ll quit when I wanna quit

And all day, all day
Comfort is in short supply
I want truth, I want warmth, I want to die
I want truth


(I am alone now, I’m alone, I’m alone, with the tone of Floridian Rhythm)
(We are the children of Abraham, naked in a trailer park)
(Jesus saves himself for once)
(Rage, rage, rage me, I’m a chameleon fulfilling your needs)
(You are important)
(I am alone now)
I am alone now
I’m alone, I’m alone
With the tone of Floridian Rhythm
I am alone now
I’m alone, I’m alone
Now That’s What I Call Music
