Rid of Me
Rid of Me

Tie yourself
to me –
no one else.
You’re not rid of me.

Night and day
I breathe –
ha, ha, hey, hey,
you’re not rid of me.

I beg you
my darling,
don’t leave me
I’m hurting.

Lick my legs
and I’m on fire.
Lick my legs
and I’m desire.

I’ll tie your legs,
keep you against my chest,
no, you’re not rid of me.
I’ll make you lick my injuries.
I’ll twist your head off
’til you say

Don’t you wish you never met her!

I beg you
my darling
don’t leave me
I’m hurting.

Big lonely
above everything,
above everyday.
I’m hurting.

Lick my legs and and I’m on fire.
Lick my legs and and I’m desire.

You’re not rid of me.
Missed
Missed

He should not be hid
He’s just too big
In a cloud
Please come down
I’d put stars
at your feet
put Mars
at your head

show yourself to me
and I’d believe
I’d moan
and I’d weep
fall silent
when you speak
I’d burst it
full to the brim

Mary lost her head
and let it bleed
came crying
back to me
My son
where’s he been?
Don’t deny it
don’t you hide him.

No, I’ve missed him

No word
no sign,
Mary say
I’m not lying –
how come
he’s so big,
but good lord
he’s been hid?
Good lord,
where you hid?
Legs
Legs

Oh,
you’re divine.

Oh,
did I tell you you’re divine?

Oh,
did I ever –
when you were alive?

Did it hurt when you bled?

Did it –
lover-boy, fever-head?

I’ll bet you never thought I’d try –
your mouth, my love,
was open wide.

Oh,
you were my life.

Oh,
you were going to be my life.

Did you sing happy day
that time I went away?

I had to ease my aching head –
no other way –cut off your legs.

Oh.

Oh.

Did you ever wish me dead –
lover-boy, fever-head?

No, you must not go away –
but how will you ever walk again?

I might as well be dead.
But I could kill you instead
Rub ’til it Bleeds
Rub ’til it Bleeds

Speak –I’m listening.
Baby –I’m your sweet thing.
Believe what I’m saying.
God’s truth, I’m not lying.

Lie steady.
Rest your head on me.
I’ll smooth it nicely –
rub it better ’til it bleeds.

And you believed me!
Caught out again.
I’m calling you weak.
Getting even.

I was joking…
Sweet babe, let me stroke it.
Take, I give in.
God’s truth, I’m not lying.

And you believed me!
I’m calling you weak.
And I’ll make it better –
rub ’til it bleeds.

I’ll rub it
until it …
Hook

I was blind
I was lame
I was nothing
’til you came and said,
Babe,
I’ll make you sing,
I’ll make you feel,
like some queen.

I’ll take you Kathleen,
to your home and mine.
Lord, he hooked me –
fish-hook and line.

And rode in
barking mad
with a halo
of gate black,
’til my love
made me gag.
Called him, Daddy.
Take my hand.

He said I’ll take you Kathleen
to your home and mine.
Lord he hooked me –
fish-hook and line

Now I’m blind
and I’m lame
left with nothing
but his stain.
Daddy, your maid –
she can’t sing,
she can’t feel,
she’s no queen.

He said I’ll take you Kathleen
to your home and mine.
Lord he hooked me
clean out of time.

coming around again
I thought it was worth waiting
you’re caught up in my hair
wet sides from time to time
but mostly I’m just dry

you leave me dry

You’ve come all this way
no hair out of place
you put it on the stage
you put right in my face

you leave me dry

No water-well in sight
no water at my sides
I’m sucking on the well
I’m sucking till I’m white

but you leave me dry
Me-Jane

Damn your chest-beating, just you stop your screaming.
You’re splitting through my head and swinging from the ceiling.
Oh, move it over Tarzan, can’t you see I’m bleeding?
I’ve called you by your first name, good lord it’s

Me-Jane!
I’m running
split head
I’m reeling
Me-Jane

Damn your chest-beating just you stop your screaming.
All the time he hunting, swimming, fishing, breeding.
Don’t you ever stop and give me time to breathe-in?
I’ve called you by your first name, good lord it’s

Me-Jane!
I’m running
split head

Me-Jane
I’m trying
To make sense
of your screaming

Don’t lord it on me
Don’t lord it on me
Don’t lord it over me

You’ve got me nailing walls, I’m hanging from the ceiling!
Oh move it over Tarzan can’t you see I’m bleeding?
Good lord you never stop!
