The snow on your eyelids that curtsy with age Is freezing the stares on tyrannys wings The bitter is hard and the warmth of your skin Is diseased with familiar caresses Withdrawing from splendor and royal decay Among all the triumphs and jaded awards The angry and blazing circus of sun Blasphemes as the crown prince arises You cannot beget all the sins that you owe To the people of paradise magic Pretend to answer passion and form With foreign rationalizations Primroses are the jewels that lurk Among masks of pleasure that flicker with doubt Embraces of fame thats simultaneously fear To advance and demand to be recognized The river shall flow through hollow green faces Of caricatures resentment etched out of the tongues Both reluctant princess asleep before birth The classical sensitive failures The worshipping wicked cling to the dark of your heart Lying there and wait with your angels Moan and ravish from dawn to dusk The avaricious young lovers

Some kinds of love Marguerita told Tom Between thought and expression lies a lifetime Situations arrive because of the weather And no kinds of love Are better than others Some kinds of love Marguerita told Tom Like a dirty French novel The absurd courts the vulgar And some kinds of love The possibilites are endless And for me to miss one Would seem to be groundless I heard what you said Marguerita heard Tom And of course youre not charmless For a bore is a straight line That finds a wealth in division And some kinds of love Are mistaken for vision Put jelly on your shoulder Let us do what you fear most That from wich you recoil But which still makes your eyes moist Put jelly on your shoulder Lie down on the carpet Between thought and expression Let us now kiss the culprit I dont know just what its all about Put on your red pajamas and find out

This is a song about the sorrows of the contemporary world, which I know we all know so well... at least I read about it all the time. Its like, one day - this was when I was in college, right? - and I woke up 6:30 in the morning and I put on the radio and they said, you know, so-and-so truck driver today ran over his baby sons head and it burst like a watermelon... and then they said its twenty-two degrees out... so I figured, on all levels, there was no reason ever to go out again I stayed indoor- I stayed indoors for about eight months... yeah hah. Also- also passed with honors in Kierkegaard, thats cause I understand the change in our existential leap. Anyone who lies in bed at 6:30 in the morning listening to that has to. Anyway, after that, communism was the only answer for me - I thought. And if you cant be a communist and make money, then you have to be a rock n roll singer... at least in Hoboken So anyway, this is a song called I Cant Stand It Anymore One, two, three... I hate standin around Livin in a garbage pail My old lady called me up She tryna hit me with a mop I cant stand it anymore, more I cant stand it anymore, more I cant stand it anymore, more But if Shelly would just come back, itd be alright If Shelly would just come back, itd be alright I live with thirteen dead cats A purple dog that wears spats Theyre all out living out in the hall! And I cant stand it anymore... I cant stand it anymore, more I cant stand it anymore, more I cant stand it anymore, more But if Shelly would just come back, itd be alright If Shelly would just come back, itd be alright Its hard bein a man Livin in a garbage pail My landlady called me up And tried to hit me with a mop I cant stand it anymore, more I cant stand it anymore, more I cant stand it anymore, more But if Shelly would just come back, itd be alright If Shelly would just come back, itd be alright Be alright Be alright Be alright... Be alright! Be alright! Be alright! Be alright! Be alright... Be aaalright! Be alright Alright Alright! Yeah alright Thank you

Sometimes I feel so happy Sometimes I feel so sad Sometimes I feel so happy But mostly you just make me mad Baby you just make me mad Linger on your pale blue eyes Linger on your pale blue eyes Thought of you as my mountain top Thought of you as my peak Thought of you as everything Ive had but couldnt keep Ive had but couldnt keep Linger on your pale blue eyes Linger on your pale blue eyes If I could make the world as pure And strange as what I see Id put you in the mirror I put in front of me I put in front of me Linger on your pale blue eyes Linger on your pale blue eyes Skip a life completely Stuff it in a cup She said, Money is like us in time It lies but cant stand up Down for you is up Linger on your pale blue eyes Linger on your pale blue eyes It was good what we did yesterday And Ill do it once again The fact that you are married Only proves youre my best friend But its truly, truly a sin Linger on your pale blue eyes Linger on your pale blue eyes

Waldo Jeffers had reached his limit. It was now mid-August, which meant he had been separated from Marsha for more than two months. Two months, and all he had to show was three dog-eared letters and two very expensive long-distance phone calls. True, when school had ended and shed returned to Wisconsin, and he to Locust, Pennsylvania, she had sworn to maintain a certain fidelity. She would date occasionally, but merely as amusement. She would remain faithful But lately Waldo had begun to worry. He had trouble sleeping at night and when he did, he had horrible dreams. He lay awake at night, tossing and turning underneath his pleated quilt protector, tears welling in his eyes as he pictured Marsha, her sworn vows overcome by liquor and the smooth soothings of some Neanderthal, finally submitting to the final caresses of sexual oblivion. It was more than the human mind could bear Visions of Marshas faithlessness haunted him. Daytime fantasies of sexual abandon permeated his thoughts. And the thing was, they wouldnt understand how she really was. He, Waldo, alone understood this. He had intuitively grasped every nook and cranny of her psyche. He had made her smile. She needed him, and he wasnt there. The idea came to him on the Thursday before the Mummers Parade was scheduled to appear. Hed just finished mowing and edging the Edelsons lawn for a dollar fifty and had checked the mailbox to see if there was at least a word from Marsha. There was nothing but a circular from the Amalgamated Aluminum Company of America inquiring into his awning needs. At least they cared enough to write It was a New York company. You could go anywhere in the mails. Then it struck him. He didnt have enough money to go to Wisconsin in the accepted fashion, true, but why not mail himself? It was absurdly simple. He would ship himself parcel post, special delivery. The next day Waldo went to the supermarket to purchase the necessary equipment. He bought masking tape, a staple gun and a medium sized cardboard box just right for a person of his build. He judged that with a minimum of jostling he could ride quite comfortably. A few air holes, some water, perhaps some midnight snacks, and it would probably be as good as going tourist! By Friday afternoon, Waldo was set. He was thoroughly packed and the Post Office had agreed to pick him up at three oclock. Hed marked the package Fragile, and as he sat curled up inside, resting on the foam rubber cushioning hed thoughtfully included, he tried to picture the look of awe and happiness on Marshas face as she opened her door, saw the package, tipped the deliverer, and then opened it to see her Waldo finally there in person. She would kiss him, and then maybe they could see a movie. If hed only thought of this before. Suddenly rough hands gripped his package and he felt himself borne up. He landed with a thud in a truck and was off Marsha Bronson had just finished setting her hair. It had been a very rough weekend. She had to remember not to drink like that. Bill had been nice about it though. After it was over hed said he still respected her and, after all, it was certainly the way of nature, and even though, no, he didnt love her, he did feel an affection for her. And after all, they were grown adults. Oh, what Bill could teach Waldo! But that seemed many years ago Sheila Klein, her very, very best friend, walked in through the porch screen door and into the kitchen. Oh gawd, its absolutely maudlin outside. Ach, I know what you mean, I feel all icky! Marsha tightened the belt on her cotton robe with the silk outer edge. Sheila ran her finger over some salt grains on the kitchen table, licked her finger and made a face. Im supposed to be taking these salt pills, but, she wrinkled her nose, they make me feel like throwing up. Marsha started to pat herself under the chin, an exercise shed seen on television. God, dont even talk about that. She got up from the table and went to the sink where she picked up a bottle of pink and blue vitamins. Want one? Supposed to be better than steak, and then attempted to touch her knees. I dont think Ill ever touch a daiquiri again. She gave up and sat down, this time nearer the small table that supported the telephone. Maybe Billll call, she said to Sheilas glance. Sheila nibbled on a cuticle. After last night, I thought maybe youd be through with him. I know what you mean. My God, he was like an octopus. Hands all over the place. She gestured, raising her arms upwards in defense. The thing is, after a while, you get tired of fighting with him, you know, and after all I didnt really do anything Friday and Saturday so I kind of owed it to him. You know what I mean. She started to scratch. Sheila was giggling with her hand over her mouth. Ill tell you, I felt the same way, and even after a while, here she bent forward in a whisper, I wanted to! Now she was laughing very loudly It was at this point that Mr. Jameson of the Clarence Darrow Post Office rang the doorbell of the large stucco-colored frame house. When Marsha Bronson opened the door, he helped her carry the package in. He had his yellow and his green slips of paper signed and left with a fifteen cent tip that Marsha had gotten out of her mothers small beige pocketbook in the den What do you think it is? Sheila asked. Marsha stood with her arms folded behind her back. She stared at the brown cardboard carton that sat in the middle of the living room. I dunno. Inside the package, Waldo quivered with excitement as he listened to the muffled voices. Sheila ran her fingernail over the masking tape that ran down the center of the carton. Why dont you look at the return address and see who its from? Waldo felt his heart beating. He could feel the vibrating footsteps. It would be soon! Marsha walked around the carton and read the ink-scratched label. Ah, god its from Waldo! That schmuck! said Sheila. Waldo trembled with expectation. Well, you might as well open it, said Sheila. Both of them tried to lift the staple flap Ah sst, said Marsha, groaning, he must have nailed it shut. They tugged on the flap again. My God, you need a power drill to get this thing open! They pulled again. You cant get a grip. They both stood still, breathing heavily Why dont you get a scissor, said Sheila. Marsha ran into the kitchen, but all she could find was a little sewing scissor. Then she remembered that her father kept a collection of tools in the basement. She ran downstairs, and when she came back up, she had a large sheet metal cutter in her hand. This is the best I could find. She was very out of breath. Here, you do it. I-Im gonna die. She sank into a large fluffy couch and exhaled noisily. Sheila tried to make a slit between the masking tape and the end of the cardboard flap, but the blade was too big and there wasnt enough room God damn this thing! she said feeling very exasperated. Then smiling, I got an idea. What? said Marsha Just watch, said Sheila, touching her finger to her head Inside the package, Waldo was so transfixed with excitement that he could barely breathe. His skin felt prickly from the heat, and he could feel his heart beating in his throat. It would be soon. Sheila stood quite upright and walked around to the other side of the package. Then she sank down to her knees, grasped the cutter by both handles, took a deep breath, and plunged the long blade through the middle of the package, through the masking tape, through the cardboard, through the cushioning and right through the center of Waldo Jeffers head, which split slightly and caused little rhythmic arcs of red to pulsate gently in the morning sun

1-2-3 If you close the door, the night could last forever Leave the sunshine out and say hello to never All the people are dancing and theyre having such fun I wish it could happen to me But if you close the door I’d never have to see the day again If you close the door, the night could last forever Leave the wineglass out and drink a toast to never Oh, someday I know someone will look into my eyes And say hello -- youre my very special one-- But if you close the door Id never have to see the day again Dark party bars, shiny Cadillac cars And the people on subways and trains Looking gray in the rain as they stand disarrayed Oh, but people look well in the dark And If you close the door, the night could last forever Leave the sunshine out and say hello to never All the people are dancing and they’re having such fun I wish it could happen to me Cause if you close the door Id never have to see the day again Id never have to see the day again, once more Id never have to see the day again

I dont know just where Im going But Im gonna try for the kingdom, if I can Cause it makes me feel like Im a man When I put a spike into my vein And I tell you things arent quite the same When Im rushing on my run And I feel just like Jesus son And I guess that I just dont know And I guess that I just dont know I have made big decision Im gonna try to nullify my life Cause when the blood begins to flow When it shoots up the droppers neck When Im closing in on death You cant help me, not you guys Or all you sweet girls with all your sweet talk You can all go take a walk And I guess I just dont know And I guess that I just dont know I wish that I was born a thousand years ago I wish that Id sailed the darkened seas On a great big clipper ship Going from this land here to that On a sailors suit and cap Away from the big city Where a man cannot be free Of all the evils of this town And of himself and those around Oh, and I guess that I just dont know Oh, and I guess that I just dont know Heroin, be the death of me Heroin, its my wife and its my life, haha Because a mainline into my vein Leads to a center in my head And then Im better off than dead Because when the smack begins to flow I really dont care anymore About all the Jim-Jims in this town And all the politicians making crazy sounds And everybody putting everybody else down And all the dead bodies piled up in mounds Cause when the smack begins to flow And I really dont care anymore Ah, when that heroin is in my blood Heh, and that blood is in my head Then thank God that Im as good as dead And thank your God that Im not aware And thank God that I just dont care And I guess I just dont know Oh, and I guess I just dont know

This song is an alcoholics dream realized Its called Some Kinda Love Some kinds of love, Marguerita told Tom Between thought and expression lies a lifetime Situations arise because of the weather And no kinds of love are better than others Some kinds of love, Marguerita told Tom Like a dirty French novel combines the absurd with the vulgar And some kinds of love, the possibilities are endless And for me to miss one would seem to be groundless I heard what you said, Marguerita heard Tom And of course youre a bore but in that youre not charmless Cause a bore is a straight line that finds a wealth in division And some kinds of love are mistaken for vision Put jelly on your shoulder let us do what you fear most That from which you recoil but which still makes your eyes moist Put jelly on your shoulder baby, lie down upon the carpet Between thought and expression let us now kiss the culprit, move it on I dont know just what its all about But put on your red pajamas and find out Thank you

1-2-3 If you close the door, the night could last forever Leave the sunshine out and say hello to never All the people are dancing and theyre having such fun I wish it could happen to me But if you close the door Id never have to see the day again If you close the door, the night could last forever Leave the wineglass out and drink a toast to never Oh, someday I know someone will look into my eyes And say hello -- youre my very special one-- But if you close the door Id never have to see the day again Dark party bars, shiny Cadillac cars And the people on subways and trains Looking gray in the rain as they stand disarrayed Oh, but people look well in the dark And If you close the door, the night could last forever Leave the sunshine out and say hello to never All the people are dancing and theyre having such fun I wish it could happen to me Cause if you close the door Id never have to see the day again Id never have to see the day again, once more Id never have to see the day again
