I’m suffering from scabies and I’m itchy all night long 
I’ve got this infection in its most contagious form
 I can’t meet my friends, that’s what the doctor said
 I’m just a mengy being, who has got to be alone
 Can’t shake your hand, Can’t pat on your back
 Can’t hug no one, Can’t touch your breasts In the godforsaken places I use to attend Ugly customers wonder if I’m on the mend While I’m here at home, devoured by a mite
 It sucks my energies, excreting venomous specks
 Erodes my skin, it flushes my legs
And roaches come out all over my face Now I’m cured, I’m sound, I’m fine
I want to go out and spread my seed Now it’s spring, outside the sun is high and gilding the sea Need new blankets, new clothes, new myths
Please recommend me a nice religion in which believe Maybe founded by cool messiahs who lived
their life in misery
 Now I’m in the streets and wonder where the fuck they all gotten to? The city has been evacuated cause the bomb exploded Yes, it’s spring 
the sun is high and it’s gilding the sea

Father Christmas comes and brings his presents bag along I wish he could content me with a brand new hobbyhorse I stayed out of trouble, I ain't deserve just lumps of coal As he came out from the fireplace I noticed from his glance he meant to mischief... He raped my aunt, then drew a gun, my sister and I started to run But Jesus, the baker, was out there crying out for revenge! He sneaks in through the window protected by a loaf, says "Santa, give it up! You're just a f*cking oaf!" He delivers us from evil and shares his daily bread with my family and his daughters Let's sing "Girls just wanna have fun"! No! It's not that one! This is another song I've written on my own! Fly agaric stupifies flies Get yourself well, I'll take you out tonight to the show called "Benzodiazepine Live". But while I was about to book our seats I felt I was going to vomit up a bunny The beast is back! He looks quite shagged off, bloodthirsty and suffering from dry cough! Oh Jesus, you baker, please come back! Come down from that wooden rack! I called his shop assistant, she said he's gone away... he fled from debts and breads, he's presumably in Hawaii! He delivered us from evil and shared his daily bread with a criminal enterprise Let's sing "Girls just wanna have fun"! No! It's not that one! This is another song I've written on my own!

"LIVE FAST, DIE YOUNG”, THIS IS MY WATCHWORD 
WHY SOULD I GIVE UP DOING THINGS THAT WILL HARM ME WHEN I’LL BE OVER THE HILLS?
 MACROBIOTIC FOOD? IF YOU COOK IT FOR DINNER I’LL BE UP TO NO GOOD ‘CAUSE YOU KNOW I’M SO UNCOUTH AND SO SCEPTICAL
 SUCH A SCEPTICAL GUY 
I DON’T BELIEVE IN MIRACLES, I’M NOT SURE CHRIST EXISTED 
I ONLY KNOW I MISS THE RAMONES YES YES YES, YES I MISS THE RAMONES THEY WERE A GREAT BAND, GUESS YOU LIKED THEM TOO 
YEs YES YES, YES I MISS THE RAMONES THEY MADE ME FEEL GOOD, THERE’S NOTHING TO DO 
ALL MY FRIENDS SAY I’M INSANE 
I SPEND MY EVENINGS SINGING THEIR REFRAINS 
I GOT RID OF MY RADIOSET CAUSE I’M SICK OF LISTENING TO U2 AND RADIOHEAD OLIVIER MESSIAEN
: WAS HE PLAYING AT RANDOM? SOMEBODY TOLD ME MALEVIC ATTENDED AN ACADEMY FOR SEVERAL YEARS (i don’t believe you) 
PLEASE DON’T TRIM YOUR HEDGE I NEED KINDA CLOUD FOREST WHEN I GOT SOMETHING TO WEDGE
 AND YOU KNOW I’D NEVER CARE IF YOU’RE SOPHISTICATED, SUCH A SOPHISTICATED GIRL GIRL
YOUR LANGUAGE IS SO DIGNIFIED YOUR NEEDS SO HIGH AND TRUE WHILE ALL I KNOW IS THAT NOW I WANNA SNIFF SOME DAMN STICKLY GLUE YES YES YES, YES I MISS THE RAMONES THEY WERE A GREAT BAND, GUESS YOU LIKED THEM TOO
 YEH YEH YEH, YES I MISS THE RAMONES THEY MADE ME FEEL GOOD, THERE’S NOTHING TO DO
 THESE NEW BANDS DON’T GET ME HIGH ALWAYS LOOKING FOR THE PITCHFORK HYPE THE VACCINES TRIED TO GET IT RIGHT BUT I MISS JUST THE RAMONES AND I CAN’T SLEEP AT NIGHT YES YES YES, YES I MISS THE RAMONES THEY WERE A GREAT BAND, GUESS YOU LIKED THEM TOO 
YES YES YES, YES I MISS THE RAMONES THEY'LL NEVER COME BACK, EVEN THOUGH WE ALL WISH THEY COULD

Mid-april’s lust been swept out by the autumns needs of warm-glow 
Our dragon flowers have been scattered all around
 An ominous sign is coming from the sea foreshadowing of tears
 that will wet my devious path
 on my way back home They came and got us, they came and got us, they came and got our feels Now my mind is beret of perception My greasy hair got shapeless
 I’d better go to one of those barber’s shops on my way back home Shipwrecking in rough waters Unable to get over
I can’t see lighthouses, clouds obfuscate the stary sky
I have become the mildest man on earth A verbal slip-up boy
On a ill-formed barren land

I’m new in this town Drinking coffee at the station I’m prowling in quest for a place where to board out My identity is secret Concealed in the starlight My purposes are torbid Tarnish the rock and roll sky Let me the stage, I’ll fly Je suis Johann Sebastian Punk This record’s a bunch of bunk Let’s all hum PA PA PA I clear my mind, it’s a contribution of kind Let’s all hum PA PA PA When your ears begin to doubt Since no meaning is found It’s no trick, it’s no illusion I’d like to be the everybody’s fool In my pearl swimming pool Let’s all hum PA PA PA Modernity myths wine got our tired out limbs drunk Nuns outside the convent lift their tattered skirts up Wirehaired pointing griffons bark in the yard Autumn nights faint lamps slowly dim untili t gets dark Let me the cliff edge, I’ll fly Je suis Johann Sebastian Punk This record’s a bunch of bunk Let’s all hum PA PA PA I clear my mind, it’s a contribution of kind Let’s all hum PA PA PA I slayed the nemeon lion, I bought it off with a dime weź go do buzi i połknij I slayed the stymphalian birds, I came on to your ex Let’s all hum pa pa pa

AN INFANT SHRIEKS
ST. PETER’S CHURCH IS OPEN THE PARSON CREEPS
 THE STILLNESS GRIEVES. I BLANCH. A TOO MUCH TIME WAIT
NO TASTY FOOD IN MY PLATE
 IN HIGH SPIRITS WE PLAY TAG IN THE YARD OIL, BLEACH, MUK
 MY GARMENTS TURNED TO BLACK ME HOPING AGAINST HOPE
 ME HANGMAN AND ME ROPE A SCOLARSHIP IN UNIFORM GUIDED BY A WORM THE DOCTOR SAID MY HEART
IS NEAR TO COLLAPSE, 
I SKIVED OFF SCHOOL, 
I FELT SO CRUEL,
A SENSE OF GUILT PERVADES MY DULL IMPOTENCE I’LL WASH MY DIRTY LINEN IN A LITTLE WHILE
IN AN ANCIENT LANE, WHERE NO STORY IS TO TELL, WHERE GLORY IS A SHELL AND NO ONE STANDS THERE CELEBRATING ARRIVALS 
WHERE VENIAL SINS, WHERE SMILES TO BRING
WHERE SKIES AND SEAS ALL BECOME WHITE

Rainy Spell 03:32
The sun concealed itself behind the chimney rock
 The streets got damp and slippery under our plimsolls A wavering frame of mind I cannot trail behind I had plans before this rainy spell All the grasslands are now wet My wild horses going to slide and get confused
 Jockeys fall full length on the ground God Haddad crossed the land to water my waking dreams 
I’m in my dinette, in a daze, peeling tangerines Temperature fell after this rainy spell Grove pools gradually ice up Raccoons hole up, dormice follow them in their haunt 
I stay out, don’t feel like getting back home

Strontium 05:22
The city’s taken off its underwear tonight worn-out, overheated, all its light stopped being bright. Margin beggars keeping breathing all their sewer gas
 industrial gypsies for mass market delights I uncovered my silk robe, polluted by bromide Diving again in a developing tank here in my recess naked by the radiator drowning in a delight marsh sliding through a garbage chute / sipping at my champagne glass my genius is going to be neclected my words always mishapprehended both shames and expectations crush before my eyes it seems like humankind knocks on my coonskin door 
no one there will open, the burglar alarm is set on a planet of freed slaves who miss their subordinate position
 lines of exclamation points bent as question marks «shall i compare thee to a summer’s day? thou art more lovely and more temperate» now draw the curtain over this dreary show of pearly ugliness
 and let this slip-knot make off with my life my whole life

Enter 05:38
Rain, wind and cold made my body deaf and fragile Is it life? Is it real? Are you made of flesh as I am? Beyond this glass I see you dancing in slow motion Giving smiles, shaking hands, you all look so safe and sound Can I enter this cruel world, please? I’m disarmed out here Seas and skies are squeezing me Don’t let me here in the cold But I can see, I can hear, I can feel the distance of our sights Yours and mine Soft is the touch of my hands on this opaque pane Will we talk? Will we meet on the edge of reality? Can I enter this cruel world, please? I’m out here in the cold Stars will fall and oceans dry up when our hands will touch But I can see, I can hear, I can feel the distance of our sights Yours and mine
