If I picked the right six numbers, I would quit my job the next day

And go downtown to rent the block out, and make everyone else go away

It's not that I don't want to work

But I'd rather remain an amateur

I'd give it to the poor -- Lottery

I'd spend it in a store -- Lottery

I'd smoke it in a pipe -- Lottery

I'd buy myself a life

Yes, I could be so happy with this lottery as my new family

Mom you'd look so good steeping a hundred dollar bag of tea

And when they put it in my account

Keep adding zeroes to the amount

I'd spend it on a meal -- Lottery (get me out)

I'd tell you how it feels -- Lottery (get me out)

I'd blow it in a day -- Lottery (get me out)

I'd give it all away

Watch my wallet swell like a bruise

I'd have more money than I ever could use

I'd pay people off so they would give me respect

I wouldn't have to worry about balancing my checks

I'd give it to a bum -- Lottery (get me out)

I'd even give you some -- Lottery (get me out)

I'd throw it on the bed -- Lottery (get me out)

I'd wear it only my head

Get me out!

My house, my house, still cleaning my house

Your smell is still in my room

My God, you didn't bother using the trash can

Now I'm sweeping it up with a broom

Right now I'll bet you fill your face

With someone else's gross disgrace

No matter how much Lysol I spray

I can't get your crumbs to blow away

Cleaning your love slime, dusting the cold grime

Nothing left of you but your love slime

Scraping your skin bits down with disinfectant

Picking up your lust lint with your love slime

Myself, myself, still scrubbing myself

Can't get rid of this feel

I'm flaking raw red and wishing that your

Love slime weren't so real

I'll bet you've already forgot

another notch upon your cot

Cleaning kitchen can't relieve

the creepy stuff you left for me

Scrubbing your sex dirt, all of this from one flirt?

If there's a punishment it's your love slime

Folding your scum sheets and shredding your receipts

Were you wanting to leave me with your love slime?

You love slime monster, where have you been sleeping

Turning your key in every door, sending the bugs a-creeping

I see it floating in the air, I taste it in me everywhere

I hear it whisper from afar, it's riding with me in my car

White hard love lard frying fat crud cake

That's all that's left of the love you make

Come out, come out, this spot won't come out

No matter how hard I try

Pouring this box of detergent

All over your love slime

It never ceases to amaze

the ease with which your love betrays

You're like a snail, I always find

The dirty trail you leave behind

Cleaning your love slime, so far from the sublime

Were you showing to shock me with your love slime?

Hosing your hair down, but can't get rid of your sound

Want to mash the memory of your love slime

One hot summer's day

I was feeling a little gay

So I primped upon my hair

and I pulled down my underwear

I went commando

And my little voice said (Shalimar!)

Let's find some trouble (Shalimar!)

In a jersey sock on a Marine jock

Get up off your knees, that's what he told me

Cause he would rather hold me

Than go on feeling lonely

Thus spake Shalimar!

(I can understand that

Cause the beautiful boys need love once in a while

maybe even more if they're mama's gone. She can’t do it for them all the time)

I don't mean to be a slut

But I just want to shake my butt

All my friends they caution me

They say that I'm embarrassing my self in public

And my little voice said (Shalimar)

I'm gonna do it (Shalimar)

Changing into it

A square cut split, bikini brief

a silk charmeuse with a red g-string

Get down on your knees that's what he told me

Now that he knows I'm only

Looking for a phony

Thus spake Shalimar!

(and that would sho nuff be me

You know what I did? I said to myself, I liked it better back when he thought I was respectable)

and he wanted to hold me

Instead of wanting to fill me

Fill me up with all his glory

(And you know about that glory. That’s where he always comes out the hero. Yeah, it’s fun at first. But when it narrows down/It’s as dull as life itself.

Plug it up. Take it from me.)

© 2002 Douglas ChayI had this dream that you and I were pushing each other from a plane

To give ourselves a thrill

And in this dream our parachutes detached without a sound

As we plummeted to the ground

And you know there's nothing anyone could do

But I feel like I shouldn't have fallen on you

I had this dream that you and I were engaged in sexual intercourse

Oblivious to the world

And in this dream the bomb exploded directly outside our window

And as the flesh slipped from our bones I told a joke

I said, you're the skinniest woman in the world

And you can wear that dress you bought OK

You're the skinniest woman in the world

And I'm the deadest man alive today

I had this dream that you and I were adrift in the middle of the ocean

With no water 'cept what's in our veins

And in this dream our hunger drove one of us to eat the other

But you didn't want to be the one to die, neither did I

When you're the hungriest woman in the world

You'll eat anything that's living boy or girl

You're the hungriest one in the universe

And I'm in pieces smothered in Worcestershire sauce

I want to feel you with me right now and all over time

I want to feel you in me right now with my mind

Oh yeah, oh yeah, we can be who we are

Oh yeah, oh yeah, we can be like a pretty star

In the sky beyond the clouds

The side of the sun, behind the eyes

Above the dome, beneath the words

And on the curve, below the blue

And under you, and everywhere that you'd think to stare

And no one looks cause they're everywhere

And everyone knows but no one says a word
