1. Jane doe
She said: "Come on down, come on down
Come on down and break me down
I've seen murder by the side of the road
So tell me now:
Does it get better down the (road)?
Roadkill-honey put your finger on the trigger
I'll do it all to you for some cigarettes and liquor
Down to my last hope and dime
Can you see how it shines
We've got nothing left to lose
She said: "There's no shame"
There's no pain Where we're going to
There's no need for names
There's only one way for instant fame
So what would it take
To get your star on this yellow brick (road)
Roadkill-sugar, I know where it hurts
Gimme a razorblade for a picture in dirt
Down to your last hope and dime
Can you see how it shines
When you've got nothing left to lose
Nothing left to live for
(She sets my) poetry in motion
Feels like magic in my arms
Poetry in motion
Give me that voodoo charm
I'm your medicine-man, show me what you can
Nothing left to die for
She said: "Come on down, come on down
Come on down and break me down
I've seen murder by the side of the road
So tell me now:
Does it get better down the (road)?
Roadkill-honey put your finger on the trigger
I'll do it all to you for some cigarettes and liquor
Down to my last hope and dime
Can you see how it shines
We've got nothing left to lose
Nothing left to die for
(She sets my) poetry in motion
Feels like magic in my arms
Poetry in motion
Give me that voodoo charm
I'm your medicine-man, show me what you can
Jane doe Since I heard your name I know
Things will never be the same again
2. South by southwest
2000 miles down the interstate
And I'm two more down the drain
Looking for the substitute
The roadsmell after the rain
I'm in a thousand cities tonight, my love
I'll be the universe tonight
With my neon dreams & mescaline
Let me take you for a ride
And I don't need no cheap love in a cheap motel
I need fire burning on my way to hell
I've got ten dollars worth of happiness
Hidden in the back of my car
I've got ten dollars worth of cruelty
So let me know where we are
And I feed on cold sweat
The smell of gasoline
I'm the biggest motherfucking deathmachine
That you've ever seen
I've got ten dollars worth of happiness
Hidden in the back of my car
I've got ten dollars worth of cruelty
So let me know where we are
Down & out in Sun devil-city
Down & out on higher grounds
It's two A.M. and I'm fucked up big time
The world we know still brings me down
On my hands & on my knees
I am this disease
I am broken, I am sore
I am bitter, I'm a whore
I think you better knock on wood, baby
Don't you know that everybody should ?
3. Correspondences
Dear Catherine,
Writing you must be the hardest thing I ever did
Forgive me,
I couldn't tell you that I felt so complicated
Release me
Thought you'd help me with the voice inside my head
But I was wrong
I could tell you 'bout the many nights I spent alone
And about all the insecurities that I have known
But I just want to close my eyes, I'm so tired
Think I've been talking to myself too many nights
I am sorry, I am sorry
(There's) nothing left for me to say
I am sorry, I am sorry
That I had to end this way
This is my suitcase packed for better times
And this is my favourite blade
To cut me up on a Saturdaynight
I guess these are the signs
Did I mentions I've got a rare collection of dreams
Hidden underneath my bed
And wrapped in a newspaper in that old drawer
Are all the words we never said
Now we're at the end of the line I have to say
I would have given it all for you
But to end the line that's what I'm gonna do
That's what I'm gonna do
