The Ambitions Are
The Golden Palominos

Wake up breathe keep breathingnnYou don't trade money herenYou trade informationnAnd skinnRight now there are thousands of forgotten peoplenTrying to remember younnChildren are killed because they write an enemy's name backwards on the wallnYoung girls tie ribbons around their slender throats trying to keep their heads onnChocolate boy walks to ice cream truck for vanilla cone is shot dead three timesnThis city kills its youngnnThe angels all have guns nownThe angels aren't anyone you'd want to pray tonNo-one here has goals like:nGet a job, get married, have kidsnThe ambitions arenWake up breathe keep breathingnnNo desire to get richnBecome famousnMove outnThe ambitions arenWake up breathenKeep breathingnnEvery woman who walks by is every woman you'll never havenBeautiful, quick and poisonous as mercurynThe city is full of women slim and busynHoping there is room in some man's lifenFor themnnWomen sort through the dead bodies like bags of laundry with exhausted mama eyenSigh because they are too dry for tearsnPeople huddle in kitchens, clasp their hands, celebratingnSomething has tried to kill them and failednNightclub men twitch too subdued to recognize apocalypsenThe ambitions arenWake up breathe keep breathingnThe ambitions arenWake up breathe keep breathingnnYou've driven these streets a thousand times and all they offer is their exhaustionnYour nightmares have your name nownYou exit the glitter storm, go home alone and embrace the violence insteadnnThe city has claimed all your blood and memory this is cool and unusual punishmentnYou go for years without touching anothernNever think of the 'why?'nYou are so casual about brutalitynDoctor says: take this, it'll settle you downnDoctor says: take this, it'll settle your systemnDoctor says: take this, it'll we'll settle the billnDoctor says: take this, it'll settle the scorennThe ambitions arenWake up breathe keep breathingnThe ambitions arenWake up breathe keep breathingnnThere's a voice on the loudspeaker and she speaks your languagenDoesn't need to staynIt can disappear when the wife walks innHere comes the interrogation room scenenToday is the day you're gonna get caughtnnYou're terrified of what you cravenDon't get delightednThey want you scarednnThe sweet things don't stick around but the bullshit lasts forevernPlease press poundnYou're dual-channeling for new friends or just new things to envynWho's running the machine you run on?nnWish you had someone to speak code withnWish you had someone to steal things fornWish you had someone to fuck you so you could finally go to sleepnYou just want to dienA little bitnnInk and paint is making you faint in your pale pale shirt stolen from uptown storesnWatch the girls in the twin sweater sets smoke, cough, throw upnTeeth-scraped knuckles are a tell-tale signnnGet in the carnGet in the carnGet in the car and what you hear is a sound of impactnTurn around slowly and check your body for bruisesnThere is no-one here to take care of younnOpen-mouthed, waiting for a candy kiss and all you get is rain communionnBetween lap dances and laptops you see girls who fuck like they're bonelessnYou're thirty eight and your job is telling fourteen year old boys what to think is coolnAre you laughing?nThey arennAnd this one is a firenAnd that one is a flamenAnd this one is a sparknAnd that one is a match you put out in your mouth when no-one was lookingnnAnd in your dreams your grandparents live forevernAnd you throw your love into the air like glitter swallowing stars, spitting up stardustnnThe ambitions arenWake up breathe keep breathingnThe ambitions arenWake up breathe keep breathingnnMothers wring their hands and say: I'm so at a lossnBest friend says: I've come not to praise you, but to destroy with my bare fucking handsnGirl on the television says: you all work for me nownBoss says: come here, let me hit you just oncenMan on the street says: I can make any woman kill herself in a yearnnSo you drive your dead body home at nightnAnd when you sleep the angels kisses are mercurynMercurynnBreaking love into lustnGrinding pearls into dustnBreaking love into lustnGrinding pearls into dustnBreaking love into lustnGrinding pearls into dustnnThe ambitions arenWake up breathe keep breathingnThe ambitions arenWake up breathenKeep breathing
