Lillie
The Residents

I saw a woman chewing with nothing in her mouth;nHer teeth were in her hands and her tongue was hanging out;nThe she started drooling and caught it in a cup,nThe cup was full of pennies; it spilled when she got up.nSome guy is in the shadows grabbing empty air;nHe could be catching butterflies if there were any there.nAll the freaks are not inside the tentsnSome pay to come and be in the audience.nI saw a great big guy who had a little gun;nHe pulled it out and smiled and then he sucked his thumbnHis wife was standing by with a leather leashnFastened to a child who cried beside their feet.nThe scary one is back with clothes so white and clean;nAnd her face that's coated with a quarter inch of cream-cold creamnShe's the one who freaks the freaks outnLillie little Lillie, Lillie little Lillie, Lillie chilling LillienLillie with her white face.nDelicate Lillie is stainlessly lonely andnShe is too whitenLike a face in a flashlight with teeth that might bitenShe is too whitenLike dice rolling snakeeyes in headlights at nightnShe is too whitenLike a corpse in the sunshine or eyes in a fightnThere's a spot a spot on my glove on my glove I know, no no maybe itnwas make em runny make em runny honey... doilies doilies where have allnthe doilies gone...nRoses will whither and dienAlong with the lace and the liesnNothing is nicer than deathnAt matching the bad and the bestnHeh heh... he hated me he hated me and hate is white and hate is hotnbut I'll not even have disdain for him not even a stain on a memorynlooked up to, lacking all respect for him I'm blacking out the specksnof decent thoughts that linger in me and leave only white whitenpeaceful white calm white swans silently flying in the snow look downnand see the bleached bones of a noble knight who died trying to savenhis lady his lovely white lady who brought her man milk in thenmoonlight but it was too late too late too late he saidnScratch out all the pin holesnOpen up the soresnDon't look out the windownWhite hatred's at the door.nAnd he tried to make me dirty make me dirty make me dirty.nTouch her someonenTouch her someonenReach out to hernTouch her soiled soul.n
