Bethlehem XL

All alone and on my phone
Still I slide into Bethlehem
Everyone says she’s gonna lose real bad
I hope she loses her head instead
Just call me when you can
There’s an air in the firmament
Or is it shit that’s been left on the glass?
I don’t mind
There’s a softness to our kind of speaking
Roll around this rodeo
Until your backbone breaks lose again
Touching down on the same sound cloud
Where the eons never ends
What’s that thing you said again?
In your coat with pockets blowing
Or is it hopeless to express
I don’t know
So I let this joint roll
I wanna wash my hands
In all the good dope you gave to me
Can you play me one of your songs?
Can you play it all night long?
Can you play me one of your songs
So I can sing along to it OK
So I can sing along to it that way

Weave your name in mine

Talk to me like I knew you would
Look, I’ll give it up to you
Will you take it?
Talk to me, through the mourning dove
Put your hands to mine, make a blessing
Talk to me and I will sing to you
let the melody keep time
Mmmmmmm
Talk to me, when I’m down on my knees
Let the poets go to sleep while we rave on
Talk to me, let be your voice be my breeze
Let me follow you, let me play on
Talk to me
Let me leave these chains
I will weave your name in mine
Mmmmmmmmhh
Talk to me! Why don’t you talk to me?

Etty Part One

Come to me Etty in June
Bring your sorrow and your solitude
Smoking on the balcony
Talking of the elegies
Of the angels they do terrify me
Come to me, Etty
Come to me, Etty
They won’t tell you nothing
but be faithful, be frightened
I remember circling the top of your head
you covered each morning
I knew all about praying
I showed it to you when I was seven
For the camera you held, I sang my blessing
For the TV, a child’s confession
Didn’t ask for this
You just do what you can
Now they say they saw your face
over the Vatican
And the songs I sung were for you
Long before our love began
Because I was fed by the bread of affliction
That was fed by a hair’s breadth close to extinction
That was fed at a checkpoint in Bethlehem
That is fed in the east of Jerusalem
That is fed to the whole congregation
That is fed by a growing inertia
That is fed to a kid on a camera
The angels they do terrify me
Come to me, Etty
Come to me, Etty

shady days are all you get when your
smoking your last cigarette
filled with the rage again
trying to chase that ease
Why not just sing with me my love
We can be the being and Becoming
There you now - back and forth yes back and forth machine
Let me go first now back and forth ya back and forth machine
We can be the being and becoming

Give it all up

Do you talk to? Are your pillars the same?
Yes the hours open. Shapes meadows in my name
Are you angry? Thinking heart within such pain
No It is a blessing. I’d be that heart again
Give it all up
I’d give it all up to you
Are you vapor? The hand in the machine
I was the creator. God was in the strings
You chose a lover whose vows to god the same
She’s my elevator - our love is free from shame
Give it all up
I’d give it all up to you
Another life time, what would you see again?
The cave of Mary Magdalene, my lover’s single bed
Did it bond you to leave at the same time?
Yes the choreography, dancing side by side
Give it all up
I’d give it all up to you

So long, Etty Part Two

You won’t go anywhere without that conviction by your side
And who it tries to hide, who it tries to
You won’t go anywhere without that conviction by your side
And who it tries to hide, who it tries to
Let’s pretend the end was some odd dream
Etty’s on the balcony, looking through a magazine and there’s Jeanine
Her fingers blur between
The strings that know her feelings
You won’t go anywhere without that conviction by your side
And who it tries to hide, who it tries to
You won’t go anywhere without that conviction by your side
And who it tries to hide, who it tries to
Etty says to me I know you loved me most
The angels of Emergency are casting bets the first to choke
St Genevieve keeps holding out for hope
Who will protect me?
Etty I am swimming, I am drowning, I am burning
Half by fire, half by flood, that’s where the world is turning
And there’s Jeanine - she’s tired, but she’s learning
She knows you had your reasons
You won’t go anywhere without that conviction by your side
And who it tries to hide, who it tries to
You won’t go anywhere without that conviction by your side
And who it tries to hide, who it tries to

White2 (2018 remastered edition)

supported by 4 fans who also own “Sister Smile”
I remember first hearing Decay2, years ago, sitting at a desktop with headphones. The song began, all those screeches, like a chorus of hellish bats. It led into Attila’s throaty, rasping vocal. Then the more resonant intoning started. These dual sounds completely HYPNOTIZED me. The earlier “Decay” is a brilliant inversion of the same ingredients. “HellO)))ween” is a riff monster. “BassAliens” is just that, spacey sounds exploring the low end of the spectrum. White2 is one of their classics.
