about

"Cruising is walking or driving about certain areas, called cruising grounds, looking for a sexual partner. These meetings are usually one-off, anonymous encounters." - Chris Dunbar

let's talk about shame

lyrics

stark and starched
still stiff like widow's peaks
i spied a bible verse carved beneath the bathroom sink
it read "everyone who sins is a slave to sin"
who cares? i'm just trying to find my skin under someone else's skin

it's start and stop and stop and go

see foam erupting from an unexpected place
frothing and lonesome in it's most basic form
i'll spill forth whatever i'd like and wherever as well
oh darn, my egg tooth is too dull to smash that shell

it's start and stop and stop and go
jumpstart my pacemaker and show me a safe and respectable time
they say bad things come in three but i could come in five

start
and stop
and stop
and go

start and stop and stop and bail
start, stop and bail
