if dumb dumb da di da

if there is fight to put up

if nothing wants to be me

if working on multiple levels

if there is free to get you say you are going to get some

if my head hurts

if soldiering on with empty  

then sick and dirty will be the beat down that has locked till you drop

then slatterns are in retrograde

then the best on offer is a party

then the network is inside already

then I is an absence until guilty

then the morning is shot

then dumb dumb da di da

if gaga

if you gave it all up and played speechless

if love

if there were no space between the act and the consequences

if a beat can be dirty

if fame is a space found even in prisons

if days were cried out for the others

if a bit of sloppy strumming will suffice

then sign me up for rock and roll

then god is just a young man too

then we all need to find some new hobbies

then what about dancing in the revolution

then the hair would grow in your soup

then loss

then fat lady cows would come home humming

then gaga

if bang bang

if dirty

if cozied up with the losses, awash in dim superstitions

if that shit don't fly

if the point of no return was back there by the Quick Trip

if the ambrosia clogs your throat

if secret kitty calls for you breathy with meow

if the rumors are mortally exaggerated 

then this is the picture of health

then there are teeth to neck

then you can dine on crow

then strip mall hell is the foyer for heaven

then looks like you'll be walking

then how's that working out for you

then rich, beautiful dirty rich

then bang bang

if gaga

if there were a way to electrify

if there is a follow that was led

if there is a way forward but not back

if in those moments it was truth and later false

if that's what you think I should do

if weather is like content

then the date will not matter

then obviously I'm going to do the exact opposite

then the word betray would lose any imaginable reference

then regret is universalized

then a going forward will have likely been

then there would be no need for the metal guitars

then gaga

if dumb dumb da di da

if there is road to cultural imperative as outsideless

if there is other other othering to be done

if this bodes well, hell and the numb

if this and this and no thing

if body

if nothing left to lose by the precipice

then why does the wind call out for us to all rise up

then language

then it collapses back twice knocked

then just the aches of the body decaying, declining line where seemed separate mind collapses back

then there aint no reason to be alone tonight

then shame at the exits, full smoke of disambiguation

then dumb dumb da di da
