Lyrics

Wednesday


Smoking cigarettes in the cemetery.

Thursday


Catching eels in silence
.
22 eels to be precise
.They lie in a red bucket and squirm
. It's getting dark
. No more bait
.
We take the bikes and head home.

Friday


There is a helicopter outside my window
.
I have my helmet on.

3 Tooth


Near the cemetery in a yellow house lives an old woman
. If you pick a flower for her she will give you candy. In a big house up the hill lives a man known from TV. If you bring him a dead animal he will bury it for you. Near the woods on a farm live two brothers
.
One of them has a common name. The other one has an indian name.

Hotdogs and Popcorn

Today 4 hippos swam straight through my heart

Riding an underwater wall of death in slow motion
. Around and around. A few minutes later we had hotdogs and popcorn
 and talked about sharp fences

Smoke

There must be over 30 cats in this house
. I wonder who lived there first. 
Look he comes out
 ! Maybe he is dangerous
 or maybe just a little drunk
. There is a dead pig in the backyard. 
Later we all get to taste a piece of bacon.

Social Skills


I'm lying still on the ground
. In the distance I hear voices. 
Someone please roll me over and take the knife out of my chest

I am learning how to swim


I am learning how to swim. They dropped me off in the middle of the ocean
. I must learn fast before the sharks smell my blood.



Happy Endings


There is a white horse on the beach. It is made of glossy plastic and has beautiful long nylon hair…
 “Excuse me, is it yours ?”
