Intimacy as Commodity 03:30
lyrics
buy track
Won't you try a little tenderness Won't you be who you want to be Won't you kiss your own hand In holy matrimony? But I want more more more Consumption galore Swipe left swipe right all the faces look the same Intimacy as Commodity I want someone to throw my heart inside I want to lose my mind Swimming deep outside safe lines I hope lightning strikes the sign divine The screen caresses my face I wish for death's embrace I want to fuck the ghost in my phone Take me home take me home Won't you try a little tenderness Won't you be who you want to be Won't you kiss your own hand In holy matrimony? But I want more more more Consumption galore Swipe left swipe right but all the faces look the same Intimacy as Commodity

No Bones Jones 03:56
lyrics

Bugman Jones has got no bones No bones about it, no bones about 'em Bug bug bug 13 Eyes 14 Heads 16 Thighs 17 Legs Cuz Bugman Jones has got no bones No Bones about it, no bones about it bug bug bug bug Dance in a mass write so sublime Kiss tender flesh touch the inside Pulsate in forward motion Succumb to your desire Confess your darkest sins Whisper your prettiest lies Show me your shadow Unleash your primal urges Coax out your divine Slip inside my mind it's time Sixteen segment carapace Its time Bugman Jones has got no bones No bones about it, no bones about 'em Bug bug bug

Motor Mouth 04:11
lyrics

Trick of the eye Slicker than slick My heart beats in motorik Falling apart is just a sensation New fixation temporary sedation Dancing in the shadows Dancing out of time Dancing in the shadows When living is a crime Breathing in and out You can come if you will But I still...I still know

Fresh Milk 04:24
lyrics
buy track
Hungry waiting for you to come home Yearning all of time slows Joyful hours in secret places I am curled up on your bed I am waiting (I am patient) I am waiting for you I am waiting For you only for you Small they call for attention This kitten needs warmth and fresh milk Baby kissed by sun's early light Hungry and dreaming of food I am waiting (I am patient) I am waiting for you I am waiting For you only for you I toil in the night to no end When will I return to my friend? Baby must be destroying my shoes Running at full speed meowing the blues I am waiting (I am patient) I am waiting for you I am waiting For you only for you

Endless Corridors 04:34
lyrics
buy track
i wait for you in the deepest of nights as if from nowhere you slide into my life Yeah you're such a kidder yet you move so slow I am prone to rash decisions You know you know any moment now I'll come to my senses embrace the feeling I cannot relax What you want so badly You've got to let it go Tear out your insides and thrown them on the floor Endless corridors They lead me home Sleepless salutations Serve the final blow any moment now I'll come to my senses embrace the feeling I cannot relax Endless corridors They lead me home Sleepless salutations Serve the final blow

If There Is Love 04:08
lyrics
buy track
I have been doing my research I have been taking my time I was not programmed to deconstruct my biases We are built from stardust We know not of being We've come to accept that we simply are Sometimes we live with great enthusiasm We learn to be gentle and be discreet If there is love then I've read all about it Iif there is love then there's no reason to doubt it If there is love then we can't live with out it If there is love then I dream of love In many many cultures we value kindness In many lives we neglect our values A contradiction is hard to describe Simply breath deeply and try to move on We assert our morals and try to make sense of senseless violence oppression and death We help ourselves before we help others We embody the future with our desires If there is love then I've read all about it Iif there is love then there's no reason to doubt it If there is love then we can't live with out it If there is love then I dream of love If there is love there is much to learn from it If there is love then I hope to become it If there is love then I treat myself with love For I believe we are made of love I believe we are made of love, made of love What is this love? Where is the love? Where is the love now?

Mice Begin To Unionize 04:35
lyrics
buy track
Hello again Hello again soft inviting pots and pans on the porch the mice begin to unionize Can you hear the rain? a distant thing through the window pane Their eyes stretch wide from outside they call me again they call me friend they call me and call again Their eyes they bend and start again Will you be my friend? Will you be my friend? Are you my friend? I don't want it to end Hello again

about

The album art for Shrimp of Cups was created with 192 proof alcohol and dried shrimp. My hand got set on fire right after the photo was taken. It took two weeks to heal. My skin was a sacrifice to summon Bugman Jones who has no bones. May he bless us with his crust.
