Letters to Cleo--Wholesale Meats and Fish

DEMON ROCK

What say you demon,
what say you demon rock of what
I'm the rock of Gibraltar.
What say you demon so say what.
If you think of it then 
you should know if I'm getting kind of low.
If you think of it then 
you should know if I'm getting kind of low. 
You make the sunshine.
Then you take my air to breathe.
If I'm gonna let you back again 
tell me what does that make me? 
If you think of it... 
If it was me you wanted then why don't you just say so.

FAST WAY

Why you gotta sit in my easychair.
What makes you think that I would care? 
When I say to you - what are you going to do? 
So I got you to at least say please, 
that's how I know that you're on your knees.
But I'm thinking too. 
What am I gonna do.
To not take the fast way it evens out every time.
God how I love a boy on the go 
and what you've got I just have to know.
And 'cause what else is there to say when it's such a sunny day.
So I got you at least
say please that's how I know that you're on your knees.
But I'm thinking too, baby, are we through? 
To not take thefast way it evens out every time.


JENNIFER

Started out with defeat.
Everyone was asleep.
And now you know that it's time to make up your mind like me.
Now I'm not one to complain but you're driving me insane.
And now you know that it's time to make up your mind like me. 
Jennifer, Jennifer, Jennifer.
Open up your door.
If there could be last bliss;
well here's the one you missed a
nd now you know that it's time to make up your mind like me.
Jennifer...


AWAKE

I guess it's been awhile and a long time too
Everything's still the same and so are you.
It's only in this light that I could see what you'd be like.
If it took a million years, well, this is what I am.

You're awake and I'm asleep and we are so complete that way.
You're asleep and I'm awake and everything is so great.

I wash my hands of you.
I wash my dirty feet too.
And when I wash my hair the dust clouds disappear.
You're leaning out the window,
you're beating down the path real slow
with your heavy plastic bags and heavy head.

CHORUS 

(I wish we had a laugh but you're just not funny. 
Baby,I'm leaving out the irony. You're awake.)


LAUDANUM

It's getting harder to believe I've gotta go,
but I don't want to leave.
You've got your mortality on your sleeve.
And if I'm something you've outgrown,
you'd think that maybe I'd have know.
God I wish I'd just know.
I want you to be like me.
It would be so easy if you'd just agree.
I chucked it all out in the past 
'cause you're the one I want at last you are the one for me. 
I want you to be...


ACID JED

So the sky is crumbling, I am 
not afraid 'cause you see this too.
So my hands are shaking, I am not afraid
'cause you've got it bad.

I was counting all the monsters
I am ever going to be 
and I was falling a thousand miles an hour swirling around,
the only sound was Acid Jed.
If this were the last day and this mind were not mine,
then I can't be ruined and that's 'cause you're all mine.

RPT. VERSE 1


PIZZA CUTTER

I was on you side and I can't believe 
that's it's coming back to haunt me.
You were on that side too and I can't, 
no I can't go back and save you. 
Why didn't you do as you were told?
Why didn't you just go home?
And what you got in the bag?
Non-recognition is the way to keep everything you want to hide.
You stay on that side now 'cause I won't, 
no I won't go back and bail you out.
Closer to the thing we had before.
And what you got in the bag? 
You were closer than you thought.
Closer than you thought you'd get.
Don't you worry that pretty head now.
Never thought that's what you'd get.
Non-recognition is the...
Why didn't you do as you were told? 
Why didn't you just go home?
Now you're never coming back.
You were closer...


ST. PETER

I know what you did.
And now he's waiting.
He knows what you did too.
You're not what you say you are.
If you were why was you head down in his car? 
It's just not the same,
try and try I'm still the last to know.
You get the sticker and the prize, 
you let me in-you showed me how.
That honey face complete with pillow case.
It just don't become you.
Did you listen when he spoke the gospel? 
You know St. Peter he's a liar, and you're a liar.
It's just not the same...


LITTLE ROSA

Little Rosa was gonna shine.
Little Rosa had a real bad time.
She was not like anyone else.
She never will.
Little Rosa the boys let her know she's just not that way 
she don't put on a show for nobody.
Not even you.
She gonna sit alone.
Why would you make her feel so small that she'd just disappear?


DO WHAT YOU WANT, YEAH

Do what you want, yeah.


HE’S GOT AN ANSWER

Ten thousand years have passed 
and it don't matter much to him 
that ten thousand years have passed before.
There's nothing he can't do.
Nothing he won't say.'
Cause don't you know he knows it anyway.
He's got an answer for everything.
So if you want to know about landlocked countries in Asia 
under the strong-arm hold of Buddhists,it's Nepal.
He's got an answer.


I COULD SLEEP (THE WUSS SONG)
 
It's okay that you forget.
It's alright that you don't want to remember.
In your hands you've got a martyr's head, 
in your mind, I know that's what you wish you were.
Turn my blue sky black, you're such a hard luck baby.
Yeah. That's what's the matter with you.
But I could sleep through this.
I am mystified as I am in it.
If that's your ride, well then you ought to get it.
It's just as if I wasn't dreaming.
It's all the same,
'cause I still wake up screaming.
Turn my blue sky black...
You're pilgrim in the boxcar.
You can never look back too far.Y
ou can't ever look back.
Turn my blue...I could sleep through anything.
