(It Doesn't Matter) TOO MUCH [rock] Santa Rosa, CA 4 Mar 2002

The skies are burning again, again Nothing survives past the twilight The moon shines on no more cities Your face is blue in reflection Your eyes are gold in the fires It doesn't matter too much (much) - The planet is crumbling again, again Your head is crowned with cactus Your feet are sinking in lave Nothing is left standing Everything flows away It doesn't matter too much (much) - [bridge:] Kiss me with a tongue of fire Bloody hot bites all across my face Flash scraped raw (raw, raw, raw) Knifed against the wall (wall) - Your love is gone again, again Millipedes crawl over me Millipedes strain against my touch Tomorrow I won't feel your touch It doesn't matter too much (much)

A BLACK ARMBAND (Is All That's Left) [techno] Buckhorn, CA 10 Mar 2002

A black armband is all that I have left of you And a bag of ashes I keep in an old shoe And that WANTED poster when you were 22 A black armband is all that I have left of you A black armband is all that I have left of you - A black armband brings back your memories And the live tapes from Court TV And your full confession diaries A black armband brings back your memories A black armband brings back your memories - A black armband is all that's left of yours And a rusted Smith and Wesson .44 And the severed fingers in a pickle jar A black armband is all that's left of yours A black armband is all that's left of yours
