LYRICS: Elizabeth Hoover’s Dead
Elizabeth Hoover’s Dead 5/17/2010
she worked in Claremont, sold superheroes
darkly black nails and a face like Versailles
she held my hand but the hearts of ten others
like kissing chicks but she loved wearing guys
born on a friday 13 October
watched reanimator and dropped LSD
ran through a red light, died in a car crash
and that was the night she stopped cheating on me
she jumped the Jones
she jumped the Frankiefrank
she jumped the Robert James
sick in the head
she jumped the gun
she jumped the red light
now Elizabeth Hoover’s dead
she had a sister locked up with madmen
kept a pet rat and wrote bad poetry
took me to parties, we rode the teacups
i was a sucker but I couldn’t see
she jumped the Jones
she jumped the Frankiefrank
she jumped the Robert James
sick in the head
she jumped the gun
she jumped the red light
now Elizabeth Hoover’s dead
life is short and life’s unkind
sometimes so dark you cannot see
you my darling died not in vain
you’re my memento mori
remember me
LYRICS: Undercreature
She watches the clock til it disappears
she hasn’t left the house in years
she’s an undercreature
she makes poison from her tears
she catches flies around the house
she puts ammonia in her mouth
she never lets the spiders go
she’s a cut lip on a wine glass
she’s a doll on the radio
and i love her
my undercreature
it’s all those voices in her head
tell her that she’s dead
that ain’t what she read
the posters above her bed know
she feeds the hand that bites her soul
she lapses out of self control
she never breaks her vows because she never speaks
she’s an undercreature
she’s been dead for twenty weeks
and i love her
my undercreature
and when she cuts her wrists tonight
it will be alright
mommy’s so uptight
daddy is driving her home
it’s her for whom the bell will toll
and where her heart was there’s a hole
she sells her sex and catches cold
she’s an undercreature
she makes the band play rock and roll

LYRICS: Hope Chest
Where this unnamed bride was wed she
felt her hands collapse around her cadence
where she once slept she crept in quiet clothes
to her hope chest, open it became further away
shut again
LYRICS: Blood Whore
Blood Whore
lyrics and music by R. James
gotta new way to make it
I’m a blood whore
go there they take it
I’m a blood whore
don’t have to fake it
I’m a blood whore
Blood Whore
get me some money gonna take the bus downtown
everybody’s gotta pay their rent somehow
never bring me down ’cause
I’m a blood whore
lying on the ground because
I’m a blood whore
gotta buy some Royal Crown ’cause
I’m a blood whore
Blood Whore
