There was an interstellar operation
Over Katz’s Delicatessen
I sat at the window, drinking an egg cream
The moon broke open and the ocean dried up
Now I wanna jump the Brooklyn bridge
Let's do it!
Let's go!
A star portal opened
Over the bakery on Delancey
I'm at the window with a bubble tea
And my legs are quaking
I'm terrified
There's talk all over Brooklyn
Cause there's mouths to put the words in
And I heard about it right here
That she's a professional vampire and
he is a full-time host
I'm gonna scream my way out of this ghost town
and a million miles away,
the most famous meth addict of Leipzig
takes refuge in the Syrian take-away shop
I was greeted by a series of visions
Telekinetic incisions
I saw a thousand futures
I lived a million pasts
Now I wanna jump le Tour Eiffel
Let's do it!
Let's go!
I'm standing in the kitchen
There’s a heated conversation
Coming out from the bar next door
It's no surprise
They're talking about the future
They're talking about us
I heard about it right over there
That he's a professional bloodsucker and
she is your Mother Earth
She's gonna send him back to the first dimension
where the sun burns his skin off
and the moon eats his insides
and his eyes are wide open
Now I wanna jump back to the bridge...
Let's do it!
Let's go!

Orbiting The Pacific

She brings an island with her
Paints fire in the ocean air
The doctor says he's never seen her
He hears her in the cackles of rain gods
He wonders where she is today
She fills his lungs in the morning
Dancing off a street lamp
Her waves climbing over the stairways
She is a wounded dog on the prowl
An angel cut down from her cloud
She goes by many numbers and names
She pulls herself out of the ground
The doctor says he knew her once
And she might not remember
He floats, often bodyless
Over the structures of this tourist town
She brings her island with her
Her ancient ashes and pains
The Western Hemisphere waits in fear
Of sirens and harmonicas
The doctor wakes up with a stranger
A subversive new warlock digging nails
Into sunken diatonic ears
Brushing teeth over a player piano
I also fell into a man once
In a hundred tunnels in Tennessee
I gifted him a bottle of coca-cola apple
From New York City, with nitrogen
This man became a platform
For a Coney Island bound F train
Who watched the second tower struck
And watched the tears of the comatose
And every year, I took my daughter
West, through the small Zapotec villages
And mountain mushroom towns
Through forests and temazcal ceremonies
Onto the burning sand orbiting the Pacific
To stare out at the nighttime water
Save the abandoned alcoholic on the shore
And wonder why we came
She brings an island with her
She goes by many numbers and names
The doctor says she's on a bus
To the great mortician’s grave
My daughter paints the walls with her
Cotton candy lollipop dreams
They go around from town to town
The doctor floats upstream

Hey
You’ve got a lot to release
The claws along your chest
The snails inside your throat
Come on up, to the New York island
Spend money we don't have
On something everyone needs
I've been alone all year
In solitary confinement
My head is thinning,
My brain isn’t working,
My voice is breaking
Tonight, in the rabbit hole
You know, you'll feel better
You’ll take a shot of me,
I'll take a shot of you,
And we’ll climb the way out together
A buddy of mine in Jersey
Kicked me out onto the street
I wasn't surprised in the least
I ran across the highway
Walked miles on the side of the road
In the mud and ice under the moonlight
Passed by the sign
said “military vehicles only
beyond this point”
But I kept going
You can't stop going
Tonight in the rabbit hole
You’ll feel better
Take a shot of me
I’ll take a shot of you
And the taste remains
Boys are so strange
They're always on the move
Their faces are deranged
And boys without fathers
They scream through the pain
Their hearts are an ocean
And the dogs and the cats
of the neighborhood
they know every fire
begins with wood
They don't have a role
in the cosmic play
they sit and watch us
all anyway
Yeah, the dogs and the cats
of our neighborhood
they sit with the elders
the trees and the rivers
They dream of the day
they'll orbit the earth
they’ll leave this town
again
And boys without mothers
Will take home the world

It gets pretty hectic around here
This is the place of wind
This is the place of woof
This is the Busbahnhof
Are you waiting for something?
Are you waiting for the train?
It doesn't stop here
Are you looking for someone?
I wanna be your dog
There's a young woman in the corner
Drinking nascent iodine tea
Says “I wanna be the consumer
But I am free”
There's a man in the alley
He is deceased
He ate desiccant
Tastes so sweet
I am the Busbahnhof
My characters come and go
My heart is a petrol dispenser
My face is a maze
It gets pretty hectic around here
Nobody knows where to go
I wanna go everywhere
And then I wanna be gone
It gets pretty hectic around here
Nobody knows where to go
Don't you wanna go everywhere?
Don't you wanna be gone?
