Smokey Joe you're calling at the station,
‘If I killed him there are complications’
I did not ask for this
‘Oh but love yes you did’
Maybe it terrifies me
(it's too, too easy, it’s too easy)
This quiet siege
(it’s too, too easy, to wish you harm)
Maybe it terrifies me
(you through black ice at the bottom of the river)
Smokey Joe, hey, what a revelation
(my dark twin, the annihilating feminine)
That one's past is not a destination
(does not need civilizing)
It is a road for fools who need empty approvals
Maybe it terrifies me
(it's too, too easy, it’s too easy)
This quiet siege
(it’s too, too easy, to wish you harm)
Maybe it terrifies me
(you through black ice at the bottom of the river)
Smokey Joe, hey, can you pass the pipe
(A songless robin she became)
you have been blessed, now go be wise
(He stole my sister Clitorides)
It is a coward who will say he's not afraid of dying when clearly he is potently alive
(These silken rubber gloves choking his vitriolic tongue)
Maybe it terrifies me
(It's too, too easy, it’s too easy)
This quiet siege
(it’s too, too easy, to wish you harm)
Maybe it terrifies me
(you through black ice at the bottom of the river)
Smokey Joe is calling at the station
