all the wine and slow show

all the wine

i'm put together beautifully
big wet bottle in my fist, big wet rose in my teeth
i'm perfect piece of ass
like every californian
so tall I take over the street, with highbeams shining on my back
a wingspan unbelievable
i'm a festival, i'm a parade

and all the wine is all for me

i carry the dollhouse, safe on my shoulders
through the black city, night lights are on in the corners
and everyone's sleeping upstairs
all safe and sound, i won't the let psychos around

i'm in a state, i'm in a state
nothing can touch us my love

-----------------------------------------------------------------

slow show

standing at the punch table swallowing punch
can’t pay attention to the sound of anyone
a little more stupid, a little more scared
every minute more unprepared

i made a mistake in my life today
everything i love gets lost in drawers
i want to start over, i want to be winning
way out of sync from the beginning

i wanna hurry home to you
put on a slow, dumb show for you
and crack you up
so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
god i’m very, very frightening
i’ll overdo it

looking for somewhere to stand and stay
i leaned on the wall and the wall leaned away
can i get a minute of not being nervous
and not thinking of my dick
my leg is sparkles, my leg is pins
i better get my shit together, better gather my shit in
you could drive a car through my head in five minutes
from one side of it to the other

i wanna hurry home to you
put on a slow, dumb show for you
and crack you up
so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
god i’m very, very frightening
i’ll overdo it

you know i dreamed about you
for twenty-nine years before i saw you
you know i dreamed about you
i missed you for
for twenty-nine years
