Welcome To The Palindrome
(Background singers: doo, doo)
Bombard a drab mob,
live not on evil.
So many dynamos!
A party, boobytrap. A
step on: no pets.
Cain? A maniac.
Dammit I'm mad!
As I pee, sir, I see Pisa.
Palindrome!
Welcome to the Palindrome!
Palindrome. Welcome to the Palindrome.
Lepers, repel, Madam, I'm Adam.
Welcome to the Palindrome!
April's Intellectual Bacchanal
Who among us
sweeps up the lipsticked cups
of April's intellectual bacchanal?
Who washes out the empty ashtrays
of Heaven's humidor?
Who shakes the celestial fruit
from the solar tree?
The stars are gleeming white apples
turning on the spit of creation!
Who among us slings open the curtains and retorts the curses coming from the footlamps?
Who unshutters the windows to the soul?
Who begs for loose change with a cup
made from the bones of years past?
Who sucks it up to distill the sweet sugar water
of the intransigent?
Who rattles their cage and demands the music box be wound?
Who, bellylaughing, rumbles like
a trashtruck in the morning?

SALVOTABLETS - LYRICS
November Sunset
A neon sky,
like an unpeeled clementine,
hanging --blood bright--
in the bare
branches of the Lord.
The Creator let it drop of its own
rotten accord.
The smoke stings the sun's
bloodshot eye.
It's a November sunset:
you gotta expect a little arson.
What will be is meant to be.
Ashes falling from the sky:
LA's an ashtray.
it needs washing dry
in the Santa Monica bay.
November sunset:
Singed air flaked with white
angel skin.
The ember's hot but seductive.
Once you touch it, you want more.
The cackling flames
pause to laugh.
Their mouths greedy,
full of grass.
Razorblades, glinting,
carving up the canyons.
November sunset:
a little arson and
a fire in the sky.
A little fire in the sky.
Oh, November sunset.
The Snicklefritz
A ticket to Dickham,
it tickels the ribs.
Whistling, the porter
clips up your nib.
Wickets are tricky, so
I got dibs on the giblets.
They lick on their lollys
but stick to the ribs.
Liberal tub flatmates
annulling the state.
The take the next night train
to Witsend and Lake.
'Til frightened on sight
and slipped up on spit,
they tricked the shit down
and whizzed on the pits.
So that's when we say- hey!
They tripped up their wits?
They get the snicklefritz.
Sound down,
til the palm fronds brown out.
We're bound all around us
even the fawns flit
among the pawns and ponds
where meadowlarks
sell their songs
long in to the night.
Behold! Such a sight--
so long and so tight.
Everything rises, it's all very right.
Weightless is cool,
so soft and so light.
The horizon's turned white.
We ride high and
tie it up tight, eagles who sight
the pullers of plight
and the slitters of ritz.
Well - whoever it was who
whizzed on the pits...
They get the snicklefritz.
