Atari Girl 03:46
Atari Girl on a broken string Claims faulty wiring, but I see straight through Those boysenberry clouds you drew Around a painted velvet frown And ice cream colored skies As you dance neon lights with pin-prick precision And oatmeal eyes. There's nothing new about this version Of a talisman, a chain So sick of waltzing in the rain Down a plane ticket red light melted gumdrop lane But you can bet your bottom dollar to your father I'll be there to catch your breath As you slip into your death I'd strangle you if the devil didn't have Something better coming next. O but he does! An institution for your loved ones! For all the hearts that you fucked up! A coffin for the bodies Of your unborn daughters and sons! My darling, who could ask for more? Everyone is a whore. Atari Girl is still dangling by her lips From a useless soap star's licorice-flavored camel's mane, and slowly, Between sips of poisoned Beaujalais And the tips of her rotten fingers She grabs hold of darker souls Who taste the abyss she tangos to. But I know you. Inside and out. I've licked every single cavity Inside your perfect mouth. I said I know you. Sideways and down. I've been to every single sideshow. I've played every single clown. You bitch, I know you. I know your scent and your sounds. I've broken bottles on the muzzles Of every dog in this godforsaken town. But I don't know you. Not then, not ever, not now. May Bacchus weep a river 'til you drown. O and he will! We'll catch dolls in the river From our second story windowsill! We'll eat black hearts until you've had your fill! We'll murder millions of your babies With a million different pills! My darling, who could ask for more? You're the Queen of the Cabaret Whores. On an Atari screen made of ocean floors, Beating down our unlocked doors. Sucking off dogs down on all fours. Leaking bloody milk to feed the dreamers' spores. Dance until your clothes come off. You are the Queen of the Cabaret Whores.

Who are you? What are you doing in my house? Your petty parlor tricks won't scare me out Don't tell me they drug you out the Pearly Gates So you could show up here with your tears in a suitcase. You can stay for the night But in the morning I'll be gone. You're still here? I thought I asked you to leave. I can't find you anywhere but I still hear you breathe You're going through the motions. You're running through my mind. You're drowning in the ocean. I've known you all my life. It was you made me a believer. It was you gave me a doll. It was you who gave me pretty visions Of the world about to fall. You can stay for the night But in the morning I'll be gone.

The next time you sleepwalk Meet me in the forest Wear a white gown down that long, dark road I will take you to the spider's lair I will teach you how to be alone Put your hands in the thickets I'll tell you all my secrets Got you right where I want you Got you right where I want you. When the night Gets cold as my heart Once I eat you whole We will never be apart. Spin the thread, love Sew the end Hide from the living Chase after the dead Why can't I keep you all to myself? Be my end, love Hide your head It was always you, love Always you in my bed. When the night Gets cold as my heart Once I eat you whole We will never be apart.

about

The Town Monster Columbus

If synth pop wandered into a dark alley and found itself viciously beaten by a gang of guitar distortion and layered rhythms, it might sound an awful lot like The Town Monster.

The music all culminates in The Town Monster's crushing live show, an electro bath of sensory overload. It finds out what happens when noise becomes symphony.
