Brain Cells 02:06

BRAIN CELLS Unhealthy feeling - inward bleeding the cause is unknown - I’ve grown old It could have been my invention - or just sort of speculation I feel empty at home - so I wanna be blown Blown away… where the fierce river flows Blown away… to be drowned or stay alive Blown away… where to survive means to win Blown away… into the fierce river called life (14.8.1995)

Morning Bus 07:21

Morning bus Evening tram Isn’t it the same… isn’t it the same? Your closed eyes on a hot red seat Your handsome body stretched out like meat Isn’t it the same, isn’t it the same, still the same? Morning bus Evening tram Go under water down into the dam I’d fall in love with you But I’ve got one small problem you know I go under water into the dam But if you don’t mind Just take my arm Hook it into mine like the last time But if you don’t mind Just take my arm Hook into mine And we’ll go to drown Morning girls Evening boys All look like toys Making noise Hi, ciao, ahoj Morning bus At 7 o’clock An old ugly brunette Pricks my cock I know it is just a toy a toy making noise Freezing morning Warm night The way seen Is not quite bright Upon an eye fallen profiles of things Upon a tongue cut out shadows that shrinks The road having been gone Is yet not quite bright But if you don’t mind Just take my arm Hook it into mine like the last time But if you don’t mind Just take my arm Hook into mine And we’ll go to drown — some 1996 or 1997

It's another morning full of emptiness when six is sick and life is nothingness it's the same as yesterday as the days before though today I am not alone she's beautiful young insane probably a whore whore on dope whore on dope whore on dope I don't even know her name and she doesn't believe that my name Jan we keep asking each other for our names none of us hears an answer we keep asking each other for our names none of us understands lying on my bed watching a white ceiling I think of helping her I think of healing she is sitting there with her legs crossed the mute child is slightly swaying looking nowhere Karla Svetlanka or a black-haired ghost her door is closed she needs someone to open it with I do not know how who will call the locksmith who will call the locksmith when none of can move I feel like a piece of shit and she wants to be soothed two flies are hanging on a curtain in a blacked out room I've been watching them for a long time they are dead or just don't move they are dead or just don't move two flies (1997 autumn)

Hey Benny gotta tell you you're doing extremely well right man you are on your way if you keep your eyes wide open if you keep standing on your feet if you keep doing all the crazy things you will be the one of few who crashed their own fear aaa you don't believe me buddy alright now just listen you can see inside of you, can't you? you can admit all the fuck-ups, can you not? well man most people usually don't do it and they don't want to see their problems Ben they don't want to see inside of themselves cause they always have something to lose they are slaves you know they would lose something or somebody oh yes the scared slaves slaves under control of fear all terrified of loosing but Ben you are free Ben you are no slave you are no slave you don't be scared you are ready for defeats Evertime you lose you win anyway Ben You have certain things you like and you do them isn't that right, isn't that right man? one more thing on my mind now you'd better not talk to people the way you talk to yourselves at least not so often man they are not worth it they are scared and they don't want to show it no they are scared but you don't worry 'cause you are the one who crashed his own fear ---1997

Night Shift Love Song To Feith Whenever you let me love you I’m ready Whenever you let me love you My eyes, my month, mack My head, my hair, my tongue The ass, hairs, dick and balls All the skin Whenever you don’t let me love you Ill clear the way And clean the air around With the squeezebox Whenever you let me love you But before that Ill masturbate Recalling licking your crotch Which gives the right angle To see your shivering body Just like now At 1:20 am Behind the reception desk With the radio-, refrigerator, ventilator kind of loneliness Well now Call me shit please Call me a shitty sperm gunner I still love you I still love you My sweety, sweaty, punky faith Punky faith Punky faith Whenever you let me love you I’m ready Whenever you let me love you I’m ready Punky faith ----- Text written for Věra, my first girlfriend and partner, during the reception work at Lazne Hotel Kostelec, CZ in 1998.
