No flaming sword nor thunder there.

Who stand on Zion's hill!
Who bring salvation on their tongues,

In whom I've no delight,
Who curse and swear, but never pray,
Who call ill Names, and fight.

I must admit they are quite good. a curious new

better. "you're looking good, man, we thought you

--those 4,500 dark nights, the jails, the
hospitals...

Mama

at least a drunk
in bed with a cigarette

engines and
33 men.

Hooray Say The Roses

hooray say the roses, today is Wednesday
and we bloom wher soldiers fell
and lovers too,
and the snake at the word.

These Things

these things that we support most well
have nothing to do with up,
and we do with them
out of boredom or fear or money
