Kara

Your face an empty zone, very far from ecstasy, tells all I need to know, far away in real time, the daily conspiracy, my life stutters the line, your mouth's a cruel loan, my words have worked free, keeps me on my toes, most days I drink wine, it's there to ease, you and other lousy swine, every lie a fine toothcomb, dancings bears around honey, smiles like stone roses, our house besides the sea, bottom of a sand road, begets some other fantasy, your body lists and groans, murder dares me to be, an angel coming home, I can watch on TV.

Joanie

What dreams do we keep, they ask us the ghosts, sat on bar stools seats, leave us alone we say, our skin might need soap, but we're here to stay, we are not upbeat, if they splay out the rope, what will be will be, do what we do anyway, face as strong as stones, throw all our cares today, music from the deep, carries tiny rays of hope, deep within our state, don't ask us to play, tunes we do not know, life is a great big cake, we all need our sleep, stuff we use to cope, if you could only see, the way we rattle home.

Irene

Who can't dream of empathy, sitting on a wall, listening to the sea, you catch my eyes awake, dancing on thorns, why treat me like a fake, each day of uncertainty, brings protest to my calls, absence of how to feel, I'd like to stake, a fear of being torn, is the cause of heartache, someone asks me, a penny for your thoughts, I say infidelity, doubts fog my days, sometimes wonder if I'm born, fear manifests craze, waves crash on the lee, glad what i've been taught this is really me, watching enthralled.

Hallie

Youre a fool at dawn, to say something like that, your eyes like frogspawn, I want to be at sea, on a wooden raft, leave me time to dream, summon ancient charm, from our little chats, you're not even warm, need to speak clearly, roar like a big cat, this is how I'm feeling, does it make you torn, your love on the flat, I still have some form, ride rails dance and weep, adjust my Ray-Bans, drain nights before I sleep, gallop through the dawn, don't have to wear a hat, act like I'm never born, make life a gas?

Gina

On a white garden seat, I carry a load, it takes time to defeat, secrets like sea weed, ravaged lipstick Eau De Cologne, wrap around my feet, when lovers trick or treat, perfume gets soaked, we drink whiskey neat, living by a swollen creek, my prayers take hold, my granny picks at sleeves, rifle's next to the sheets, she's no rolling stone, wants to protect me, cure my unease, isolate me at home bathed in love or yeast, there are still more beats, I measure in the gloam, tell him how I feel, no public telephones.

Frankie

You know what it means, to live alone, thoughts harden into dreams, I'm cool but burn with rage, even to atone, makes you turn away, this isn't my scene, journey's not my own, long past where I've been, maybe useless to fake, life as a trombone, one note always too late, it's never safe to heed, what i've done, but no one makes me plead, wave goodbye to fame, drop it like a stone, no one stops my flame, I'll mine a new seam, can still hear your moans, withstand any heat, mend my broken bowl.

Evelyn

Please don't act all fine, playing out your games, somewhere you’ll do time, maybe sing the blues, on a hard bedframe, it's all left to you, what don't turn out right, is never far from pain, sleeping bad drinking wine, strum your cretin’s tune, I’m coming home you say, call that good news, naked to your crimes, light dances on the plain, lost in your own designs, howling out what's true, on some dismal train, tears blur your bitter fruit, when you talk travel lines, slumbering in the rain, remember me to your lies, baby think again.
