lyrics

DAMMIT BIKINI

I got good looks.
I do declare(!) to take apart
the ones that stare.

Into the void; their afternoon
when comes a time
to make more room.

When the misery says to me,
“All-y All-y All Outs In Free”,
take a line out of history: dammit bikini.

I had more time
than I had plan.
I settle down into the man.

I make believe like I don’t see
what’s goin’ on
goin’ with me.

When the misery says to me,
“All-y All-y All Outs In Free”,
take a line out of history: dammit bikini.

Shoot the moon, the verse, the scene
the tidal wave of human being
the in, the out, the up and down
and as the motor runs aground…
The shapes and sounds of summer greed
in perfect silk and matching seed
and hunger ‘til you’re out of scratch
and flood the mass machine (attached)
And break the hearts that bomb the west
and pour the lotion on your breasts
address the crowd with volleyball
and polka dotted booty call
I got good looks, I do declare
to take apart the ones that stare
then stumble out into the wave
and say, for instance, “I am saved”
Erase the world, perchance to dream?
The tidal wave of human being
The tidal wave of human being.

And break the hearts that bomb the west.
I got good looks.
I pass the test.

Erase the world, perchance to dream?
The tidal wave of human being.
