[lyrics written around 1994]

reference earlier blog on 'anti-love songs'

icicle love 

I dont feel as cold as i do when I'm with you

it took millions of years to form these stalagmites

in this cave

it took only two seconds for our love to grow  cold

our love to grow old

our love went molded

on Jefferson street

walk my feet live my lips and brush my teeth

cause I'm walkin' on jefferson street

icicle love where you live

I look at your house

i see that its on fire

Im walkin up icicle love puts it out real fast

startle me as you walk down the street

spilling the beer all over my new shirt

my new shirt smells like beer

the stain over where it says no fear

i feel like i love you

but i feel real cold when i do

i know i should just pack up and move

whos that man youre with

its probably your brother

I know you wouldnt cheat on me I know you wouldnt cheat

come to think of the consequence

your brother isnt alive anymore he is not

veitnam war took him

I wish I died with him

I never thought i'd hate you so much

now we are married and we have beautiful children

I never thought I would hate you so much

feel as I get colder

the icicle on my beard

the cornflakes on my shoestrings

the beer on my hair

I smell like pigeon powder

and I dont where i got my fear

and i think i'm going to melt with my hate

icecile love

puts it out real fast

blast from the past

I think i like it

come on give me a spade

ones thats black

instead i didnt get it

I got an icecile with a wreath behind it

with a temple dedicated to the god of hate

the god of hate is the same as the god of love

icicle love

my lips freezin

my tongue stickin to the mail box

here i am standin naked with my tongue on the mailbox

here i am naked and I dont love you

i dont love you, i dont love you

without my icicle

icecream man goes to dairy queen buys him a sundae

i stand behind i say do you have some of that icicle love

the woman winks and says ya thats me

I said get away from me

she said wanna get married

I said lets have three

three what she said

three kids gosh darn it

we are going to have icecilce babies from our icicle love

lets go icicle communion

at the pentecostal church down the road

ah ya

dont stick your nose in the air

dont stick it too high

you might smell some stuff that doesnt smell all too appetizing

no it doesnt

my retarded son puked all over the floor

it got moldy and it melted and the rats came home for dinner

the cows left one evening went to mass and never returned

all i have left is my chick

and my icicle love

icicle love, ya

icicle ya, love

if the wilderness could breath on my shoes and make em clean again

like the wilderness could breath on my heart and make it beat again

im a naked skeleton

Im a naked gem

im a naked gemstone

and I know

not much at all

not much at all, ya

not mucha ya, all

icicle love, meow

Old drunk edit

[intro brought to you by miller genuine draft]

cold white sheet

play upon your rules

cold white sheets

despite us

if it feels like

the cruelist rain

you might be listening to

this side of you

how do you reinvent away

that which is just an image

that which in your youth

gave you a reason

gave you hope

but now chemicals

are just about all you have

in mind

and all you can do

is take your time

and find when

its time

to banish

your mind and

drink it all away

[soul escapes]

*

Jump in now

try it again when you know the score

try it again when its a hard time and you got torn

but you see there must be

no hesitation

take it off the cuff

sharp tails cut into you

oh teeth sink through

sharp surrounds you

dont hesitate

Dont Hesitate!

(...and walk through it)

Dont hesitate
