King Hazy Lady She's driving herself crazy Two weeks on the kitchen floor (hahaha) She says, "Later maybe, I'll touch you and you'll thank me, Yeah it's two for one, it's four for four" (hahahah) Stretching on the pavement I am Hanging upside down It's Heaven, Heaven all the time It's Heaven, Heaven all the time It's Heaven, Heaven all the time (hahaha) King Hazy Lady Begs, "Someone will you pay me To whack my face against the floor It sounds a little strange But it feels just the same At least I'd get to dress warm" (hahaha) Stretching on the pavement I am Hanging upside-down It's Heaven, Heaven all the time It's Heaven, Heaven all the time This happens, In Heaven all the time This happens, In Heaven all the time

They say "Willow wobbles but she don't fall down" Her gums started bleeding so she left down she said, "So long" to Shawn the Surgeon Paige the mom, "And one thing's for certain. Don't know how I'll do it but i'll do it somehow; In the future it was me that burned it down" Their teeth have turned purple, Legs tied in knots, I dreamed she was dead in a dark parking lot God's coming through the speakers and he's here to say, "The Devil appears on Jessie's Birthday" Don't know how I'll do it but I'll do it somehow, yeah In the future it was me that burned it down 31....41....103....200....350 so tired...I'm so fucking tired... Hey baby! How's your day going? Want some company? Ha ha ha, thank you baby!

Where's my wife? Where's my wife? Where's my wife? Where's my She is handcuffed to the ceiling Fan until the paint stops peeling and Great-Auntie-Karma's got her paralyzed She's alive in the thighs baby, Dead in the eyes baby Where's my wife? Where's my wife? Where's my wife? Where's my Two-legged-limp Pajama shirt She lies so still, her joints get worse Closed her eyes, to watch the silk burn backwards Closed her eyes, to watch the silk burn backwards and faster, and faster, and faster faster faster faster Where's my wife? Where's my wife? Where's my wife? Where's my She is sobbing into my wallet she's Getting high on chandelier polish and she'll Never ever leave the house again no She'll never ever ever leave the house again so Where's my wife? Where's my wife? Where's my wife? Where's my Her fantasies, of phantom limb, He's gone she sees A phantom him In the blender, takes a swim to make the day dim faster Takes a swim to make the day dim faster and faster and faster faster faster faster Where's my wife? Where's my wife? Where's my wife? Where's my You hit mute with such precision When Mona Lisa was on television I cut myself on your paper prison But all you've done has been forgiven You hit mute with such precision When Mona Lisa was on television And darlin' to you I could never lie The girl I was when I loved you Loved you 'til the day she died

Imagine waking up in your own body, naked on a brown leather couch. The room is unfamiliar, and all of a sudden, you are 95 years old. It's hot in the room, and the temperature increases as it passes back and forth between you're newly wrinkled skin, and the Genuine Leather of the couch. You cannot get up, where would you run to? You don't even know where you are. Susan woke up every day wishing she had bigger hands, she said, "Am I the perfect woman, am I an Unfinished man?" She walked back home, she tried to grow her roots in sinking sand She said, "he told me that he loves me, but he don't know who i am and I'm just Hangin' out on Peroxide Beach So sour, don't got the power, don't got the energy So if you see the water start to, get to deep Just let me sleep, Just let me sleep, Just let me---" Hours have passed now or maybe they haven't. The sun exploded years ago so it's Impossible to know. You notice that you and the couch are not very different, and you start to feel sick. You know you'll be here forever, so is everything you've cared about before today rendered totally meaningless, or is the weight of the world even greater with its loss? Speaking of weight, I ate way too much fucking salt today, holy shit. "And when my body bloats and wrinkles and my skin turns green and blue I want the whole wide world to know i didn't like a, single one of you except for Overdose Elvis, 'cause when you're, when you're dead you're chillin' and the King of the Jungle who's about to leave the building and i'm just-- Hangin' out on Peroxide Beach So sour don't go the power don't got the Energy" So when you see Susan caught up in the Undertow just let it go, just let it go, just let it-- On the floor in front of you you see a frozen metal spoon. You immediately pick it up and put it in your mouth, hoping it'll help you cool off. Horrified, you feel the silver start to melt around your tongue. You try to remove it, but it stretches and stretches like an infinite rope of taffy. Drenched and claustrophobic, you try to cry, but all your body's liquids have already poured out through your skin. You hear a voice ask, "Is she gonna be ok? Does she need to go to the hospital?" "Yes!" you attempt, but it's no use--the metal taffy has already hardened; locking your jaw shut. They were never listening anyway. "She'll be fine," another voice replied, "probably just sweating out the venom. Give her 'til Tuesday." Susan/Suzanne

I feel like just a baby 'Cause babies don't got brains They don't got pain receptors and they All smell the same I think I'm a banana 'Cause bananas got no bones Peeled and bruised and yellow they ain't Even safe at home Hey Are you potato, or are you meat? Honey, You've got the look but do you got the stink? She loved me, Yeah it was written on her face Or maybe her lips were stuck smiling that way Hey Hey Hey Hello Where did you go, what did you see? (We saw everything) Are you hungry? I made money, dinner's on me (We saw everything) We're living Off mints we're getting fat But you're gonna die ugly if you keep smoking like that (ha ha ha) I feel like just a baby 'Cause babies don't got brains They don't got pain receptors and they All smell the same I think I'm made of peaches All covered in scented cream Full of stones and naked With inflated self-esteem Hey, Are you potato or are you meat? Honey, You've got the look, but can you be sweet? I know she loved me Yeah it was written on her face Or maybe her lips were stuck smiling that way Hey, hey, hey Hello Where did you go what did you see? (We saw everything) Are you hungry? I made money, dinner's on me (We saw everything) We're living off mints but it's not so bad She said "you're gonna die ugly if you keep smoking like that" Potassium, Potassium Potassium, Potassium (run run run run run run run run run run run run run run run)

about

"a strip club, a sitcom, a playground, and a house of God"
Our debut record, “Willow” tells the story of a great adventure. Willow is a girl, who existed inside of a strip club in Inglewood, who ran away to the desert to hustle pool with a lion, and who burned herself alive for my freedom. She was buried at sea alongside her best friend. This piece is dedicated to their sacrifice and to their memory(and to Ember Knight). The record is a work of nonfiction, and if consumed correctly will take the listener through a journey. Please put on your tallest shoes, your air conditioner, and lie on the floor. Pick a position, and don’t move one muscle the whole time, even if it’s scary. Or funny. Or feels like it’s been too long. Listen alone. Or while driving through the Mojave in the middle of the night with someone who understands. Recorded and engineered by my hero, Joel Jerome, in Los Angeles. All drums and many essential guitar moments by my son and brother, Sara Cath, who nothing would have been possible without. Love, Haley Dahl.
