Love Bloody Love
I walked one hundred miles
To hell on broken glass
And shook hands with Satan just
So I could kiss your ass;
I’ve danced with Pandora
Under a bloody moon
And have filled my sails
With a raging tycoon;
I’d run down a cougar to be
With the one I want the most
Or run one thousand miles
Just to hold you close;
I’d do anything just
To stand next to you,
Still you turn away from
What you know is true;
I swam this dark
And mysterious lake
And still my love
You will not take;
I’ve left my home,
My native roots
And climbed this mountain
And licked your boots;
I faced down a cobra
And skinned his hide
Then I walked through the
Sahara and nearly died;
I’ve faced armies,
Disease and starvation
And walked the darkest
Side of every nation;
You were cloaked in your
Dark shroud of eternal mystery
While I stood naked and bleeding
In the middle of loves debris;
Just waiting in the post
Mortem of erotic despair,
The hollow eyed people had money
But no sympathy to spare;
I climbed an electric,
Barbed wire fence
And still your love
Remained so tense;
My spinning, sorrowed,
Suicidal desperation
Almost turned into homicidal,
Sexual frustration;
A rabid wolf wouldn’t
Stop me from trying,
A fool searching for truth
While everyone is lying;
I’ve driven against the
Blowing, poisonous wind
And have been knocked on my
Ass and just sat and grinned;
Death stalks me
Everywhere I go,
How to win your love,
I’ll never know;
A woman mistook my accidental
Orgasm for ecstasy,
I thought it was good until
She asked me for a fee;
I traveled south to
Wear a Colombian necktie
Before I jumped off the Sears
Tower and tried to fly;
The stormy clouds have
Always filled my head,
I went to Jamaica and walked
Hand in hand with the dead;
I’ve played with lightning
And swallowed thunder
And wrestled crocodiles
In the land down under;
I’ll trudge through the
Arctics freezing snow
And bloody my hands just
To let my love show;
I swear I would do anything
For your selfish, bloody love,
Even surf with sharks in
An impossible body glove;
I would give up
Medicines healing staff
Or rip off my clothes just
So I could make you laugh;
Tell me what it takes
To make you see,
What suicidal stunt would
Make you look at me?
I know that I can’t
Just be myself,
You would just kick me in
The balls and say, “Go to Hell!”
So I crawl one hundred
Miles on bloody slivers
To find a lover who’ll
Give me shivers;
I haven’t found a
Goddamn thing yet,
A mouth full of blood
Is all I can get.
