Hey, my name is Joey Blatt. How’s everyone tonight? Anyone from Omaha? Come on, show of hands, anyone out there from Omaha, Nebraska? Great city, great city. Cold. What’s the deal with that? How come you people live in such a cold fucking place? What’s the deal? If Vanilla Ice told you to shit in your hat would you do it? Just wondering. Did someone die out there? You...

Dying Like Gene Vincent on a Stranger's Veranda
Shit stacks on shit stacks on shit
Little monkey makes piles, little monkey makes piles
Shit stacks on shit stacks on shit
Little monkey makes piles, makes piles of money
Little monkey
Little monkey
Cripple in black leather he leans
Likes a fedora, sweat comes down in streams

Well now, you sound bent when you talk

My reality is...
My reality is I have been urging the devil on tonight…uhm, last night too.

Wreak That Ship
Was it delight by design?
Death by deduction
Your hard line face is like a map now
Your scoured emotions coming nude
Sour goes the new day
Sour glides through our weary blood
Sour goes the new day
Wreak that ship see how far is down
Wreak that ship see how far is down
There is no where to land
The compass fell out of your hand
Is that a wall of gray on the horizon?
Is that our clock...
I Love Vomit
This time the waves burn
Rolling slow, some day you’ll learn
Lurid like that smile past 3 AM
Long past the hour you should be wavering
Rolls of acid pushing past your smile
Like a simile, poisoning the proximity
With the accuracy of proclivity
What does the word friend mean to you?
Changing your friends like you change your shoes
Fashion shoots to kill if you move out of step

Where was he? This was where they always met to walk to school together. Deshaun looked up and down the street impatiently. He was getting angry but knew he wouldn’t say anything when Tyrese showed up. He looked up to Tyrese. Also, he knew better than making the older boy angry. A few minutes passed and Tyrese appeared from around the corner. Finally. No, he wouldn’t say...
