Throwing Muses
Ca l l M e
Read the stop signsI can't love nothing
I mate, killYou wake up and it's not morning
I can't sleep, I loved you onceI loved you so much
There's a shape on the horizonAs we're picked off one by one
Something's goneSomething's over
Move your hand againI can't watch you wash
The floor
You live for the greenI hold your flame
So why?
There's a shape over the oceanAs we're picked off one by one
Summer's goneSummer's over
Somebody here's too smartThere's nothing that doesn't dieWhy don't you do to my insight
What you do to my insides?Oh, babe
I'm in a deep holeI've dug myself five feet deep
So many people want to talkThey look in the mirror, see themselves

They look in the mirror, they look at me,They look at me
They look at me, oh-oh-oh
Something's goneSomething's over
Peter said"Thanks for letting me hold you
Calling me moonshineI can take you there and call you that"
This is your name
I'm lonely at nightTime on my hands
I feel sad in the dayCall meCall meCall me
Nobody knowsHome or away
What I'm waiting forCall meCall meCall me
Here I amWhat a loser
Waiting for years to go by

You built a city in my headThen there were candles
And a phoenix burned my bed
These are subwordsThese are air

There's one boy
In one houseIn one place
At all timesAnd green eyes
I got no moreWho are you for?
I got no moreWhat is this?
I shouldn't be smoking
This last cigaretteI feel sick
Now there are words in my head
You took my houseBurned it inside outKneel in my ashesKneading them
There's one boyIn one houseIn one placeAt all times
And green eyes
I got no moreWho are you for?
I got no moreWhat is this?And now you're leaving again, no
Temper and tempestTo knock at the moon
And the stars come out at nightWhat's that beyond the floor?
You were left screaming
My hands are in your hairYou're on the deep with the stars(?)

You built a city in my headWhere are your candles?
(...can see my...)
And a phoenix that was you in my bedThese are subwords
These are air(Turning my body around)
There's one boyIn one houseIn one placeAt all times
(There's one boy)And green eyes
I got no moreWho are you for?
I got no moreWhat is this?
Smoke falls to the ceilingIt begins
There's a man dancing at meHe's making circles
So I will tell you now(I wear your clothes)
I wear your clothes like armour(I love your face)
I love your face like God
So you're in love and I'm indebted alwaysGreen eyesAnd now you're leaving again
No...

I might be in a HolocaustHate Hitler
Might not have a childAnd hate school
I could be a sad loverAnd hate death
I could be a neuroAnd hate sweat
NoI hate my way
I make you in to a songI can't rise above the church
I'm caught in a jungleVines tangle my hands
I'm always so hot and it's hot in hereI say it's all right
My pillow screams tooBut so does my kitchen
And waterAnd my shoesAnd the road
I have a gun in my headI'm invisible
I can't find the ice
A slugI'm TV
I hate
A boy, he was tangled in his bike foreverA girl was missing two fingers
Gerry Ann was confusedMr. Huberty
Had a gun in his head
So I sit up late in the morning
And ask myself againHow do they kill children?

It reminds him of
BlowjobsThat he's a queer
And his hairStuck to the roof, over the wheel
Like a pigeon on a tireGoes around
And circles over circlesAnd he's a queer
And his hairOn the roof
Like a pigeonGoes around
Says he's a manAnd his eyesAnd his hairAnd his eyes
Say he's a man
He won't ride anymoreHe won't ride anymoreHe won't ride anymore

Home is where the heart liesThe heart lies
The heart liesWelcome homeWelcome homeWelcome home
It's under the strangle of winter (?)I only love pieces of things that I hate
Like this box, this piece of roofI can't grasp, can't see true
A piece of pastDays like today
Like a decade agoPainful to remember like today
I've been here another year, another dayOcean waving flies and a child
Girl you complainTo kiss the rotten broken knee
You may be dreamingYou may be bleeding
You may be in this box
A kitchen is a place where you prepareAnd clean up
Clean up

Their eyes were lockedAnd their hearts were open
And in love, we couldn't breatheIn love, we couldn't say the word

It's just the lackOf time I keep
Reaching out, lashing out
It's just the linesRun down the walls
I can't believe they never fall
The walls never leaveAnd the walls begin to scream
8/19/2019 Throwing Muses - Letras
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/throwing-muses-letras 16/110
Ahhh
And my toes against the wallI stare ahead
The door inside the wallYour face inside the door
You crawl across the room
The picture never movesMy books are very stillYou slide to my feet
You slide across the floor
IThrow your head across the ice
IThrow my head through a window
CrashLike poetry
It's four o'clock, I'm waitingYour face appears
I keep forgetting your nameWhile I'm writing this, youYou crash through the wall
You fall off the floor
ISlide your head across the ice
I
Throw my hands through the windowCrashLike gods
A roomFull of delicate cutters
All sitting down, the room has many doorsAll but one of them are closed
She goes around
(Remember)Opening the doors

They took a pictureAnd from this cold lightning living me through
So I feel like an alarm clockFire came from my mouth Is pushing me around
And I'm not loving and I'm not hatingI'm not creating
I'm losing my friends and my young dreamsThat was vicious air spilled in my face out of love
And out of loveKeep walking
If I did the same thing 500 timesCould you see it in the dark?
I trust the weather
I try to make the bodies give me strengthDo we see them in the yard?
Who cares in they're rolling in bed?There's only darkness upstairs
Does love sit cold 'til you put in somewhereDo objects split it at your heart?
I don't see that anymoreI'm colder and colder and colder

Leave home Blood becomes a foreign substance
And see it as you let it dryI forgive my nature or I'll be my saint
I can always feel you in heavenLiving in the past I think if I remember that I'll forget this
I know you wellKill the sky The sun'll fry us; burn the rain We'll die
Stares from the back stairsI tie your tie, set tables
I won't run your party, you can't run my life
But the waters run deepOnce there was two Mexican woman
Ran over the hills ripped off their skin and ate it upLeave the town for the children [lay their skin across the
fire]Leave their rings to their daughters
And fly upIt's raining again Come home
It's raining in his handsOh catch it be brave grow
You make me cry Understand?Be safe, no worry So
Look what you do You freeze my songs And please Comeon
Catch me back I can go faster than fastCatch me go get back a date Land a seal too fast
Catch me go get back a date Spin the wheel too fast
Help me go get back a date Live a day the past

Lose your way and we can stay out all nightLose your keys and we can't go home

All I want is to be worthy of myHands, but she's got plans
Dirty like a river

That song Juno they did in the streetSo many places to go and not one for me
Said the sheIf they were pretty It'd be okay to say
But that day onlyWhen she wore dresses She felt born
That song Juno say the words if you have streetsNo one for me Said the she
That song Juno they sung in the streetHer husband of nineteen yearsDanced madly at her feetNow I can be balancing

At midnight I reach for the blindToward your head, but don't touch it
I'll wish I had but when I'm deadAt midnight I hit your song It sings again
Don't know what age is Don't know where the tree standsI only follow these hands
I couldn't make you crazy if I triedWe've been swinging 'round the tree
For how long now?Maybe she wants to be cared for
Stay home a month here A month thereMaybe take to the open roadsMaybe take to the open roads
Maybe take to the open roadsAt the marriage tree

So we drive and we've driven 10,000 milesIn our hometown
Sink back into the drivewayWhich is Zen The head in the stairs
Or the body in the chair?
A Saving Grace at odds with technology A Saving Grace18 with a bottle of water Cold jeans and the face of
GibraltarHow many trunks of your goods?
How many goods do you give away?I'm spellbound when I can't move I stand in front of youI'm flipping back through the pages of your calandar and
your booksAnd your childhood and your looks
I try to move in your direction against the grain of timeI'm hoping to recollect my thoughts and motions
I pray to science and history Like cancer doesn't growI worship and forget you Bye
Worship and forget youA Saving Grace
And holding on to what we've madeAs it drags us by the legs across the living room
Put the children to bedFor a good night For tomorrow

Drive your carThrough the kitchen cupboard door
Through the winter Down to the floorDrive your head
To the bathroom tileSmile 'round the corner and your friends

I have two headsWhere's the man, he's late
One burns, one's skyWhere's the man, he's late
I'm two headed one free one sticky
But is it freedom can burn?
Is sticky ever blue?For instance where's my husband?
This is what I need why I can't stayGod, this is the devil too bad he's late
I love the smell of beerThe smell of dar, the feel of dark, to feel the rug
To press the rug beneath meA small party
But is it sinners can burn?I hear we let them speak
For instance where's my husband
If you're my husband I tell you somethingDance on the devil's roof
Under a devil's moonI don't care and you don't move

I was a kind of hookerMy lover was free

I can sleep with anything and more
Stripped women stripped menI fall instead of him
I'm useless in the light fo the distanceI could break you for all the right reasons
I could hate you but what have I got
Nobody feels your tongueNobody sees you run
Nobody sees you makeNobody knows your face
Love lives your whimI'm stripped instead of him
I'm harmless in the light of the distanceI could break you for all the right reasons
I could hate you but what have I got
Nobody sees me oldNobody feels me coldNobody lives my whim
Nobody knows you're him
I roam this head I carm what's leftI hide myself from her love
Nothing make me older but the birthmark on your backBut making babis in the fields
And the birthmark on your shoulderMaking babies in the fields

One eye squinting, shaded from the sun, shoot meBlack a oil, his hair shone
Lily white, his skin glistenedRestless as the reed between his lips blew
It's just that mean old Texas sunIt makes me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head
What day is this? I, quiet, asked the skyWhat time is it? he asked me, sitting up
Love that villan on the runHe's got me spinning 'round and falling on my headWhat are you running from? I asked the white boy
From the guys who chase me there; come runI need your dark skin
To sit beside me in my car, light up my cigar

It makes me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head
The last I saw of OklahomaA gas station fading in the dusk
Goodbye my father, I thought, I'm carrying the lightThe light of my Comanche
Make sure the dog remembers me,I dream the sand beneath your feet
I hold the light

Love that villan on the runHe's got me spinning 'round and falling on my head

I picked up this lady in a store, she dropped her stuffAnd tripped on it, so I picked her up
I said, everybody falls downOnce you meet the man you want
You'll know 'cause you see redLike making honey 'til he stings you in the head
Fall down fall downKate collected postcards when she felt too alone
In case no friends of hers could get her on the phoneFall down fall down
Her husband was in line behind herNot everybody falls down
You're so old, I said, what happened?
If you eat your lipstick you consume here jealous rageThey get you in the mouth, those girlsFall down fall down
Juan collected things in cans, he felt he wasn't safeSee, his girlfriend took some when she went away
Fall down fall downNothing ever happens here, I said,
I just wait.I showed this guy my pictures
He said they didn't breatheI said I painted them that way

And with a freezing face, I watched you fall apartIt's not too soon he said, It's not too soon at all

Shuddering and the smoking roses

Kristin: There was a girl named Pike.Pike was different from the other kids in some ways.
She had huge yellow teeth which jutted out from her face,particularly when she was angry and curled her lips back.
Her favorite food was oatmeal, gummy and sticky and glue-like.
Actually, it was her only food.Pike's mother would try to feed her Pop-Tarts and fish
sticks,
8/19/2019 Throwing Muses - Letras
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/throwing-muses-letras 108/110
but Pike would calmly remove the offensive food and fixherself a bowl of oatmeal which she would strap onto herhead with Scotch tape, and then walk around the house
while she ate, masticating wildly.
Pike's manner of dress was odd.She refused to wear any shoes,
but some ratty old platformsshe'd found in the garbage.
You couldn't tell they were ratty and old, thoughas she had covered them with tinfoil
David: For these reasons alone,Pike was ostracized at school.
The other children picked on her,
called her "Mary" and other names,pulled her hair and stuff.
It was difficult for them to accept her into thepeer group, given her idiosyncrasies.
Pike was different.Often, her mother would have little fits,
when she could take Pike's strangeness no more,ranting about "what had she done wrong,"
and "how she could have raised her weird daughterdifferently,"
and "why did her weird daughter do this to her."These fits had no effect on the girl however,
Pike would merely place one hand aside each eye and staredirectly ahead,
sometimes lending a swift kick in her mother's shin.Kristin: Even the family dog, Mike,seemed determinedly against her.
He was always nipping her feetand chasing her into rooms where she didn't want to be.But the last straw was the morning she woke to a pair of
aerobic shoes sitting by her bed.Accustomed to these minor intrusions,
she stepped over them and reached for her ratty platforms.They were gone.
At least they weren't where she left them.She called for her mother and inquired as to their location,
but there was no answer, and there were no ratty platformsanywhere in the apartment, only a pile of broken glass
8/19/2019 Throwing Muses - Letras
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/throwing-muses-letras 109/110
in front of the shattered living room window.And there on the sidewalk, four stories down,
lay here special tinfoil shoes in a tattered heap.David: As she swept up the glass fragments,
Pike decided to leave.This was not a difficult decision,
given that Mike was biting at her heels and barking veryloudly.
She leapt over the mongrel and had just enough time tograb some
provisions and some tape, before Mike lunged.Pike ran barefoot into the elevator, panting.
It felt good to leave.
She hated the apartment and that stupid dog.In fact, she hated the whole city.
But she loved her shoes,and even her yellow jutting teeth,
no matter how unpopular they were at school.Pike walked barefoot out onto the street,
barefoot along the sidewalk,scooped up her shiny, rumpled platformsand continued barefoot along the road.Kristin: As the noises of the city faded,
she discovered a whole new world,a lot of green, and room for bird sounds.
Cars didn't drive so fast,and children played happily.
They didn't seem to be full of Pop-Tarts and fish sticks.On and on she walked, and soon came to a stream.
On and on she walked through the stream,
against the current, her platforms dangling from hershoulder.As dusk gathered and night began to fall,the sounds of greenness enveloped her.
She caught sight of that for which she had been searching:a big square entirely filled with grass.
She then knew what she had been born to do.Calmly she stepped out of the stream and
into her shoes and walked towards it.
She poured some oats right out of the packet, into thebowl and taped herself to it.

Slowly, she walked to the middle of the field,looked up to the stars and masticated wildly.
What blood type do you have?
David: I don't know. I've never been-- I don't think I'veever--
Kristin: There are only a few. You could just say one.David: O
