HACKER OR VAMPIRE?  Forestville CA  4 Sept 2000


Are you a hacker or are you a vampire?
 Where's your focus in the new empire?
Are you bringing the empire down? How?
 Are you sucking juice from their veins? Where?
Have you hit a power main? Which?
 Are you an immortal data glitch? Eh?
-
Are you a vampire or are you a hacker?
 Did you crack their firewalls easily?
Did you flood their interfaces?
 Did you rip their fleshy faces?
Did you rip their fat intestines?
 Is their life force hot and tender?
-
Are you a hacker or are you a vampire?
 D'ya take bloody souvenirs? Ears?
D'ya burn y'r switches behind you? When?
 Are they close to tracking you? How?
D'ya laugh at stakes in the heart? Art?
 Is your art an endless warfare?


 BELLA DONNA  (dobro/banjo rag)
 music: Forestville CA  1996
 words: Forestville CA  5 Sept 2000 *


a: Bella Donna, stay up all night
  Bella Donna, vampire's delight
 Pop your eyelids, stare at the light
  It's not a dream if the dream's alright
 -
b: In the moonlight, lost in the fire
  Bella Donna evens the sco-o-ore
 Bella Donna frees your fear
  Bella Donna bites your ear
 -
b: In the shadows, under the sky
  Bella Donna tells you why
 Bella Donna helps you to
  Dream a dream that may come true
 -
a: Becoming scopalamine's friend
  Every truth comes out in the end
 Every sparkle will make you see
  Bella Donna, she sets you free
 -
[instrumental] [repeat #1]


 PSYCHO LOVER  (17/16 time)  Forestville, Calif  5 Sept 2000


 I felt you pushing and you pushed too hard
  and you pushed me over
 I fell and screamed and I screamed and fell
  and I didn't hover (uh)
 That's just about what I've come to expect
  from my psycho lover
 -
 You cast no reflection in the mirror,
  you cast no shadow (uh)
 You left no bruises in my flesh,
  you left no obvious trauma
 All the scars and damage are on the inside,
  my loving psycho
 -
 The trees burn, the ambulances roll,
  the juice flows hot and fast
 The trees burn, the wind turns, the night churns,
  the tavern calls me at last
 My psycho lover cooks my hormones, fries my brain,
  pours me a glass
 -
 I heard you screaming and you screamed again
  and you screamed in my mouth
 We bit each others' tongues off, spit them out,
  north east west south south south
 My psycho lover tells me life and tells me death
  and tells me nothing and tells me truth


I KISSED THE WEREWOLF  (bouncy)  Fulton, Calif  23 Oct 2000 *


    (sort of a OOM-PAH version of 'ROUND MIDNIGHT, heh)

 I kissed the werewolf and she tasted so fresh (bah boom bah)
 I kissed the werewolf and she blew - my - mind - off
 I kissed the werewolf and my hair stood on end (bah boom bah)
 She's so rewarding, she's so demanding,
  she's enchanting, anting, anting, anting...
 -
 I kissed the werewolf and she licked (uh) my cheek (bah boom bah)
 I kissed the werewolf and she drove - me cra-zy
 I kissed the werewolf and she snurfled my ear (bah boom bah)
 She's so rewarding, she's so demanding,
  she's enchanting, anting, anting, anting...
 -
[bridge] Don't take the werewolf for granted
 Don't expect her to give more than she ca-an give
 Don't make the werewolf too frantic [no no no no]
 Be nice and the werewolf will [may] let you live,
  a-liv, a-liv, a-liv, a-liv...
 -
 I kissed the werewolf, then I bru-ushed her coat (bah boom bah)
 I kissed the werewolf and I rubbed - her - bel-ly
 I kissed the werewolf, what a sensuous treat (bah boom bah)
 She's so rewarding, she's so demanding,
  she's enchanting, anting, anting, anting...

 I'm dancing with the sleepWALKers, they're dancing in MY skin

 I'm workin' on the ANgels and they're workin' ON me

 Got some USED karma, got some CRACKED-up karma, karma, karma

 ELIZABETH BATHORY  Forestville, Calif  31 Oct 2000


 Elizabeth Bathory, I gazed into your eyes
 Elizabeth Bathory, I listened to your spies
 Liz'beth, you've trampled Transylvanian mud
 Liz'beth, you bathe yourself in virgins' blood
 Liz'beth, there's fire as far as I can see
 Liz'beth, is there hope for you and me?
 -
[chorus] Elizabeth in the dirt, Elizabeth in the tower
 Elizabeth with her hurt, Elizabeth with her power
 -
 Elizabeth Bathory, wild & hot & strong & free
 Elizabeth Bathory, moving thru the centuries
 Liz'beth, making songs that we can't see
 Liz'beth, being things that we can't be
 Liz'beth, making art that we can't hear
 Liz'beth, throwing thoughts that we can't fear
 -
 Elizabeth Bathory, ruling where you will
 Elizabeth Bathory, taking winter kills
 Liz'beth, I taste you, I touch you, I need you
 Liz'beth, I waste you, I want you, I feed you
 Liz'beth, just how much of you can I see?
 Liz'beth, is there hope for you and me?


 NOT THE USUAL VICTIM  Forestville CA  31 Oct 2000


 Don't drink my blood, I've barely got enough
 It's the usual, it's the rare, rare stuff
 Oh! Lick my lips with your teeth
 Oh! lick my brain with your breath
 -
 Don't break my skin, it's such a pitiful thing
 Don't break my heart, it's such a pitiful thing
 Oh! chew my glands for strength and speed
 Oh! chew my glands for time and need
 -
[break] I'm not the usual victim
 You're not the usual victor
 There ain't no final victory
 -
 Don't pierce my chest, don't drink my heart
 Don't make me live, or die, or cough, or fart
 Oh! my blood's between your teeth
 Oh! my blood's beyond your reach
 -
 Come take my time, take my brains, take my pains
 Come take my eyes, take my lies, take me higher
 Oh! let me find it myself
 Oh! put me back on the shelf


 THE WALTZ OF THE WORMS  Forestville, CA  31 Oct 2000


 Show me your dragons,
  show me your vampires,
  show me your villains
 Lay on me your butterscotch smiles,
  your branchwater miles,
  your sherry vexations
 Watch me rollarskate
  off the slickrock into Hell
 -
 Match me your magic,
  match me your money,
  drown me in your honey
 Take me to the harbor town,
  the working town,
  the gambling town
 Help me dig into
  the flesh of the walking dead
-
[break] What kind of worm am I?
  What kind of parasite?
 What kind of ghoul are you?
  What kind of fool?
 Whose soul is slurped all night, all night?
-
 So make me change,
  make me strange,
  make me oblivious
 Show me the lonely roads,
  holy roads, only roads,
  the obvious
 Cut a path right into your liver,
  be the life-giver
-
[break2] Whose dreams do I dream?
  Whose blood do I block?
 Whose mind do I mock?
  Will I feel the terminal shock?
