No one wants to feel
A gentle love
The just want to
Place their hands on the stove
Hear the sizzle til
They can't take it no more
Then wonder why
it always
falls apart

Ride the carousel
Until it breaks down
Spinning plates
But you're hungry
Right away
Then wonder why
It always
Falls apart

Beautiful skin
Covered with skulls
And Hello Kitty
Toasting Marshmallows
Too tight
Comic convection clothes
But when someone
Introduces themself
To you

Flee the party
Without a sound
Tread water
Until you drown
Then wonder why
it always falls apart

Wish you were real
With Me
Yourself
Or anybody
You'll never feel
contented
The proud parts
Have been cut out
And replaced
Just to steal attention
From your
Heart's
Gaping empty space
Waiting to be filled
With a gentle love

Ride the carousel
Until it breaks down
Spinning plates
but you're hungry
Right now
Then wonder why
It always
Falls apart
Then wonder why
It always
Falls apart

Lyrics:

I know a girl
Who wants too much
She's pure light
But she's in the dark
Walked to her house
To ask her out
There's a line around the block

She loves everyone
For a hundred bucks
In and out the door
In a half an hour
She loves everyone

But I won't
I won't let go
She needs someone
To look after her
And protect her from herself
In this evil world
And guide her back to source

She loves everyone
For a hundred bucks
Any way you want
In a half an hour
She loves everyone

Sad little girl
How did it come to this
Give her a Bible
Tell her bout Jesus
If she'd even listen
I could call her mother
I could call her sister
Someone has to care
Take her out for ice cream
Surprise her with a pony
She probably just needs a hug
Just needs a hug

She loves everyone
For a hundred bucks
In and out the door
In a half an hour
She loves everyone

And she broke my heart

https://thedobermans.bandcamp.com/track/simple

A smile lies
Within your lips
Happiness
Is simple as this

If there was a moment
You spent lonely
I'd lose faith in the world
Strike that
It already happened
Many years ago
Anyways
I want to do something
To cheer you up
How about Paris a trip to
For the day

We'd see the Champes Elysees
The Louvre and The Tuileries
District Chinois
And anywhere else you want

See the lights
The lights
Shimmer in the skyline
Eiffel Tower shines
Like she's set with diamonds

What's that you say?
That's a good idea
We'll squeeze it in
I promise
It's a done deal

It's kind of my thing too
You know
Antiquing is great
I'll buy you a compact
A shawl and a beret

At night we'd stop for drinks
On The Moon
If NASA would stop playing
In the swimming pool
I mean for 70 million dollars
Every single day
You'd think they'd have some better CGI

To convince me
The the Earth is round
When clearly
It's flat as the ground

Got in the weeds a bit
It's something I think about
La Tour d'Argent's over there
Let's check it out
Order a cafe and an eclair
Table on the sidewalk
Back to what I said before
Maybe you can tell me why

They shoot their nukes upwards
And the try to break the sky
But they always explode
At 700 miles high

If the Earth is flat
Then the Bible is right
We're in a footstool
And God lounges outside
There's nothing to fear
Everything is fine
Worry is unnecessary
And I'll tell you why

The future is bright
If you just open your eyes
And see that we live in paradise
From dreams come thoughts
And thoughts come actions
It's all basic causality
Thus you see
You are free

A smile lies
Within your lips
Happiness is simple
Simple as this
Simple as this

Drums by Francesca Pratt
lyrics
Girl I said
I've been on to you
And your cheating ways
When my back was turned
I want you to get your things
And leave this house
This isn't working out
Didn't know if she'd cry
Or stab me with a knife
Until the moment she turned around

Then she
Gave me those sanpaku eyes
Always looking so tired
Like a wounded dove
Fallen from the sky
It could be something else
Like a cat in the night
watching its prey
Struggling to break away

That was a month ago
Since then I found a new one
With a little more energy
If you know what I mean
So much like her
But then not quite right
Told her I had to break it off

Then she
Gave me those sanpaku eyes
Always looking so surprised
I'm a little scared
Is she mad, or just excited?
Think I'd better run
Things are going South
She's rearing up
To punch me in the mouth

Let's not go crazy
This was just some summer fun
Designed to take my mind off of her
But I just can't go on
Faking it with the wrong one
She could be sitting there alone
Who am I fooling
She could have anyone
What do I care
She'll have to understand
There can be only us

I said
Give me those sanpaku eyes
Always looking so tired
Like a wounded dove
Fallen from the sky
Don't know if it's love
Never felt so much desire
Have to shake this trance
Or I'll walk in to the fire
No, it'll all be fine...

You listen to me on Spotify
Driving into town
Then you turn on a dime
My love
Can't stop running me down
Wish you knew what I see
You scoff and suck your teeth
When I ask you out
For a pint or a bite to eat

You're a terrible liar
I've always been wise to ya
Say no with a side eye
The smile you can't hide
I'll wear you down one day
When you can't keep your stories straight
We'll start with a clean slate

Bump in to you at the record store
In your hand is Louder Than Bombs
I ask you if you like The Smiths
You said they're naff, it's for my mom
You looked down and slinked away
It hasn't been your day
You jumped the queue
Paid the clerk
And turned back again

You're a terrible liar
I've always been wise to you
Tilt your head to the side
Body language can't deny
Let's not kid ourselves
I know we're both readers
Don't leave our love story
On the shelf

And on and on and on

You're a terrible liar
I've always been wise to you
Say no with a side eye
The smile you can't deny
I wear you down one day
When you can't keep your stories straight
We'll start with a clean slate
With a clean slate

https://thedobermans.bandcamp.com/track/bir-eath-day-party

Your sex is grotesque
Your "love" results in death
Kiss the little skulls
On your rosary
You'll get no rest
When you go to bed
Head full of filth
Hold nothing to your chest

Suck out your shame
Suck out your shame
Your obligations
Have turned into a stain

Men are impressed
Oh what a mess
Hand your demons
Someone to possess
Don't even care
Walk out the door
What you give
They need penicillin for

Suck out your shame
Suck out your shame
You'll do
Anything for fame

Can't be blamed for her Bir/eath day

Bir/eath Day
Bir/eath Day
Bir/eath Day
Party

Suck out your shame
Suck out your shame
The rot
Has gotten to your brain
Suck out your shame
Suck out your shame
God forbid that you'd abstain

Oh, you Libertine
When's the next one, Christmas?
At very least a Sunday
The last one was June 17th

https://thedobermans.bandcamp.com/track/under-the-hunter-moon

You can't cut the cord
Can you
It can't be cut
It's a connection made for
Us by God

Under the hunter moon

You stay up late
Gazing at water
In a bowl
Screaming at a freezer
Til your heart goes cold
Candles whisper back
That they won't
Let you steal
My soul
Under the hunter moon

He's giving us this moment
To understand
What is real
Tell me
do you feel what I feel

With a rush of wind
That falls to a hush
Then something wraps you in
A healing ghostly touch

For hundreds of lifetimes
I stood by
Hoping you'd come around
To the good side
But you only want to play

Don't you want to
See through the fade
And float around
Like the clouds
I'm not talking
Bout a wraith
More like an immortal
Don't misconstrue what I say
If I feel it
You can feel it too

The you can leave here
Like I do
But I don't think
You want to
This may be your last chance
Or you're left to

Dangle on
The silver cord
Connected to
The hunter moon

Dangle on
The silver cord
Connected to
The hunter moon

https://thedobermans.bandcamp.com/track/see-you-shine

You put my light under a basket
Dug my grave and buried the casket
But I'm still strong enough to stand
Jealous heart here to crush my star
With evil eye and binding curse
But I'll still help you out
I'll still be around
That's why I was sent
To make you repent

Could have been in your shoes
A million times
But I still want to see you shine

Break down those whom
You deem lesser
Remember
You can't touch the Blessed
Someday we are going to shine
Rome is burning around you, Nero
It's your turn to be the hero
I still want to see

Could have been in your shoes
A million times
But I still want to see you shine

Never wished you any harm
You want more
You have to know your worth
Everything good
Comes from honest work
Don't hold yourself back first

Could have been in your shoes
A million times
But I still want to see you shine

I still want to see you shine

I'm so fucking sick of this Truman Show
Yeah
I don't want to live like a zoo animal
Just so glad that I'm not normal
If I was like them
It would be boring

Record me on the phone
Talking to a girl
Put it on a show
On a public access
Cable channel

What you gonna find
From the key logging
There's nothing weird
On my stupid hard drive
You can call off your
Team of detectives
They are on the wrong directive

Gather in a circle
On the playground
Laminating pictures
Of me on their desks

Well, The Omen
Is no longer having it
I'm gonna show you what you're lacking
Integrity for one
And a backbone
You can write that on your headstone

Putting notes in my locker
Saying nasty things
Like 'least my momma
Didn't run away from me'

I'm so sick of this Truman Show
I'm so sick of this shit
I'm so sick of this Truman Show
I'm so sick of all of it

Knocked out in gym class
No one seemed to care
Threatened by everyone
Just because I was there

My brother fucking bit me
When I first came home
I had a black eye
Before I could walk
There's something going on here
Bigger than all of you
There's nothing you can do to stop it

https://thedobermans.bandcamp.com/track/black-mirror

Screen all the calls
Flat screen on the wall
I used to like
Being alone
But now all the joy I had is gone
We talk in the same room
Like we're on phone

Without a black mirror
I see nothing at all
I can reach through the ether
I can draw blood from a stone
I can see the future
I can change the past
But I can't bring you home
I can't bring you home
I can't

Like I said
The prophecy's fulfilled
But I'm left
Standing here

Without a black mirror
I see nothing at all
I can reach through the ether
I can draw blood from a stone
I can see the future
I can change the past
But I can't bring you home
I can't bring you home
Please come home
Please come home

I wrote this when I was 14.
Recorded it to get it out of my head.

https://thedobermans.bandcamp.com/track/new-supply

My eyes went black
when I talked to you
But they came back
When you found your new supply
He's a nice young man
All full of life
And in a week
I know you'll bleed him dry

God help your new supply

I should have a word with him
And say your love is
Just a trick of the mind
It's like a chocolate
Easter bunny
Sweet
But there's nothing inside

God help your new supply

Love bombing
Trauma bonding
It's so much fun
Until you learn
What's going on
It's all
That holds her up

God help your new supply

If you want to scare her
Do this simple task
Look beyond what she says
And fall in love with
What's behind the mask
Behind the mask
Behind the mask

https://thedobermans.bandcamp.com/track/greyrocking

I was alone
And you came in
like a dream
Didn't take long
For you to run
On your schemes
Laughingstock in town
Wrench my head around

Now

Greyrocking
Is my only option
Addicted to
Your beautiful toxin
Nothing is as it seems
Made full of mica
When you see through me

Fooling around
With my heart
Not even trying
Could've shattered my soul
But you look to be just funnin'
In bed all the time
Ready to walk the line

Grayrocking
Though I need consoling
Another one of your
Dolls is broken
Get a new one
Whenever you need
Rip off the plastic
And break it in
Greyrocking is a bitter potion
Put more love
In your next concoction
It's so thick
Syrupy sweet
Drink it too fast
Making my head freeze

Falling down
But nothing's looking up
Peering ahead
I see a great big
Tunnel
Please don't drop my heart
When I try to
Open it up
Don't be so cold
I know there's something that you want
I know there's something that you want
I know there's something that you want
I'm the perfect person to crush

Greyrocking so very often
What's the problem with all of you
Is it something that I say or do
To make you behave so rude
Want it to be
Like a day in June
Not like January
Greyrocking so very often
Teddy is nice
But I need more affection for me
I need more affection for me
I need more affection for me
I need more affection for me
I need more affection for me
I need more affection for me

Small money Satanists
Why don't you give it a rest
Nothing will fill the void
Your sloppy side hustle
Won't help the world
Nor will cash
expensive laundry
or toys
Nothing that you own
Will make you do
more right than wrong
When you let the greed go
You'll feel wonderful

Look, I'm not all good
But I don't want to burn the world
And you do
out of spite
In your heart
We're all on the rollercoaster
Some like it more than others
And if they don't
It's probably because
of you

This Craigslist psychologist
Wants to break me down
But who will put me back together again
Not the garden pharmacist
The internet hypnotist
Or whore of Babylon
You can do the Devil's will
I'll be home
Reading Proverbs and Psalms

Just wanted to share
a safe place
With someone nice
But no one can calm down for that long
I'm not throwing in the towel
I'm not picking up a trowel
But none of this
Can stay like it is

I used to tell myself
Love would change things
I guess it has in some ways
Funny how something that doesn't exist
You can miss
If you had it
You wouldn't act like this

Creep in to me
And explode
There's nothing like writing a letter
You know

Small money Satanists
They won't ever quit
Spur this mule til he's dead
Playing ding dong ditch
Peeing on my snowman
Paint everything Black and Red
But nothing will fill the void
Nothing
will ever
fill
the void
Because nothing always fills a void

I know
You have to save face
Just say
You want to toy with the basket case
The last time we spoke
I think you got the wrong view of me

I've been working through some things
I asked you not to hypnotize me
Since you broke the shell of my feelings
There's something I want to tell you

I wait for the day
When you'll come to stay
Please don't go the other way
I'll write a book
Or get a job
If that's what it takes
Stay true to what you want to do
Don't let anyone force you

There's one other thing

Sensing trouble around
You're not the only one
But it all can be undone

One word to show
That you're feeling stuck
I'll be there with a moving truck
Where will we go
Who gives a fuck
As long as you're safe

Don't need no money
No postal code
Just the present moment
And an open road
When your heart is your home

It's time to come home

I'm a lighthouse
In the darkest of the storms
A bumbershoot
For you to stand under
A raincoat
A poncho
A slicker
A cagoule
Whatever the weather
I'll protect you

I almost forgot

Like Lady Nada
And St. Germain
Meeting on the astral plane
We'll ascend together
Because we're twin flames
Again and again and again
You mean everything to me
Way passed the birds and the bees
I love you
For forever and a day
Besides that
I don't have much to say

https://thedobermans.bandcamp.com/album/jackie-cooper-the-new-mood

Bruising on your palms
The wifi seems to stall
Back to program A
Smiling once again

I'm beginning to think
That you're the prisoner there
Backed in to a corner
Strangled
Looking for the door
All you see is walls
Shaking your shoulders
At the Superchats

Leave you on all night
And most of the day
Sadness quickly fades
Smiling through the pain

Oh, we little flowers two
I want to grow a garden of you
Strong and healthy in the Sun
And blooming at the full moon
To show the world
How beautiful you are
Made from clay of the Earth
And dust from the stars

Leave it all behind
Only for the wise
Precious is the time
When love is here to find

No tranq no crank
No rock no flakka
No ice no spice
Will ever make you feel
Like my love
But you get that prickling in your toe
And the numbness
Slowly flows
Up to your heart

When you feel it
I feel it too
I just want you to feel
All the love
That I have for you

No soap no dope
No huff no fluff
No speed no weed
Can ever
Replace my touch
I made it late
To the party
And you're tripping badly
Who gave you this stuff

Looking to score some hug drugs?
Then open up your arms
Step forward
Bring it in
For my love

My love
You beautiful mess

When you come down
We'll get this sorted out
One foot in front of the other
Here comes the Sun
You are going wrong
Baby, you got conned
This will be the hardest mask
To take off
But I'll be here for you

You're not one
To be told what to do
But there shouldn't be
Any poison
In a pretty flower
Like you
