Violet's Coming Over
> joe mahoney: song, piano, mellotron
> bridget matros: sing
> nate leath: violin

Violet's coming over now
To drink with me all afternoon
She's picking up the alcohol
And stuff to eat
I paid for it
But I wonder if she's really gonna come
Or drive my car
Far away from me
Drive my car
Far away from me
Drive my car
Really far away from me
O violet please
Don't wreck my car
Don't steal my car

Violet's got her crime friends
So pretty when her hair is clean
She was polishing her story
When she called me up
'We're all insane,' she said
So I'm wondering if she's really gonna come
Or sail my ship
Far away from me
Sail her shit
far away from me
Sail her shit
Really far away from me
O violet please
Don't spoil your hair
It cancels things

 

Van Turn Around 

Lyrics:

Van Turn Around

If you read the tunnel in my mind
You get a grown-up girl
With hands that feel
Lips that kiss you like the underworld
Out on the blank commuter spinning life
Black sky, black mind,
Waiting in the black
For the coming of the van

There's nothing left in my eyes
But an old monk just laughing at the land
Baby, it's like everybody's 10 miles
In the direction of a plan
I want to be a boxer from St. Louis
With cock and swords
And dancing with our necks so loose
They turn around
I've got to have that sound
My arms go around
Van turn around
With lead guitar

With an emeny hand
You handed out the bread
I was around the corner
Everyone else was dead

But if I ever get my stroke together
Out in San Francisco
Cooler heads will see
That my gun stays quiet
In a closet with a lock
Cause everything I do
Must meet with your approval
Up against a tree
With the radio waiting for
The Van to turn around
I've got to have that sound
Dirt on the ground
Van turn around
With bass guitar

Lyrics:

Pour me another glass of discovery
This candle light is pure
I'm not really ready
I'm red-eyed, I can hear you fine
I'm just red-eyed

My plans are cancelled
I didn't cancel them
I'm trying to think this through
In fact blow out the light
It's too much to see your eyes
Are dead eyes

But I see the pieces of your broken plate
Across the floor and underneath the table
Which is weird because there's no other light on

I saw your striped pants
Drop to the kitchen floor
You'll need a microscope
To see the threats that keep my pounding heart
Connected to your white eyes

That do not see the pieces of your broken plate
Across the floor and underneath the table
Which is weird because there's nothing else
To look at now

Lyrics:

I will frame the rain
I'll watch the stream go by
The touch of coming
Beneath a stream,
Of coming behind

What wound
come out
What wound
give it to me
What wound
it's a picture
What wound
I send to you

Carey, bring jars
of drinks, sit down
the ice cuts away
at the hole in my heart
the color up the stem
our leaks come together

What wound
come out
What wound
give it to me
What wound
it's a picture
What wound
I send to you
What wound
come out
What wound
give it to me
What wound
this picture
What wound
I send to you

Carey looks up
my neighbor appears
a car drives by.
they know
I know
what happens next.
Carey smiles at me.

What wound
I say
What wound
before
What wound
I can
What wound
can't stop myself.

What wound
come out
What wound
give it to me
What wound
it's a picture
What wound
I send to you

 

Saturn Jane 

Maybe when
I first
saw Jane
I felt a blush of
desperate providence
commanding eyes
too saturnized

But now she drinks
she drinks all night
i feel so glad
when jane is drunk
all night
my time
with jane
is saturnized

purpose hampered
escape velocity
cancel janie
from my notes

oh what would your
component be
i feel a test
is coming on
with jane as fear
my portion saturnized

Joe Mahoney - yoricknixon

     I am a software exec. and I do secret internet foo. I live near Boston, Massachusetts and spend a lot of time in San Francisco.
     I began writing poetry a few years ago in a brave but ultimately feckless attempt to stave off a canonical entrapment breakdown.
     I sometimes write with a pseudonym: Yorick_Nixon. I also write music and play musical instruments. I was a member of Boston noise band Inner Beauty and San Francisco improv combo Senator Buchanon. With the members of Inner Beauty I co-authored a pre-web internet published dystopic novel entitled "Skunk Angst".
     Any spare time I have I read Shakespeare or listen to Bach. Bach seems to be the one thing all nerds agree on. I've lost touch with my culture. Though my friend Janet has turned me onto Cat Power. My only firmly held cultural belief is that Chan Marshall of Cat Power is kind of a babe.
