Al Jaguar

The message got lost
In the frost of spring
They're looking over
Your shoulder listening
They've got your money
They're hungry and free
Free from the restraints
No constraints to breed
Higher, he says can I take you higher?
My name is Al Jaguar
I'm in the melter
to swelter and pray
It's simple shelter
I felt her today
Two weeks is too long
for you long to say
Give me the knock-out
I'll black out for days
The words you swallow
Tomorrow wont be
The last to follow
He's hollow you'll see
As autumn lingers
These fingers still bleed
My all to show her
To know know her, she's me

Blood On The Root
03:39
|
|||
|
they look like ruby's
your giant eyes
these thoughts consume me
thunder in skies
roots form a cradle
keeping me close
willing and able
to decompose
I, I spilled your blood on the root
It shines like diamonds
your pale white face
don't want to condemn
need your embrace
no footprints, no scent
to leave behind
you marked my descent
an easy find
You are too beautiful to live, this I must do

Bad Ju Ju Cooking
03:10
|

Survived the violence
your pent up nature keeps you in the know
Suffer in silence
ya slipped the noose when friendship came to blows
working the swing shift
the dirty stares send tremors down your spine
It's impossible to live
unless you're crossing someone else's line
kneel down, the altar
is bleeding for you, keeps you in the know
your words will falter
ya slipped the noose when friendship came to blows
alive, the graveyard
the dirty stones send tremors down your spine
It's impossible to live
unless you're crossing someone else's line
I can't take too much more of this
It's bad Ju Ju cooking with you

The Tarantula
02:45
|
|||
|
the witch is, outside
of the gates, we cannot hide
mud bricks, so tall
broken glass atop the wall
dogs howl, ears flop
the begging gates will never stop
deadly black tail
a child's heart too young to fail
speaking in tongues
native born, a hired lung
crippled roads are
stealing wheels from under cars
snapped wing, bird wreck
tie a string around the neck
heart stops, no please
in the oven to appease
I am the tarantula
under the covers of your bed
I am the tarantula
planting my fangs inside your head
scorpion hiding in
folds of dirty laundry
scorpion she falls out
stone floors, claws, abductee

kick off
those shoes love
we're dizzy
from living
flowers
on beds lie
suspended
upended
threads melt
into rugs
so softly
i'm lost in
breathing
your face blurs
our lips touch
so softly
Sell Me, Selloway
downwards
collapsing
I made you
you made me
corners
the soft spots
I linger
I'll live here
patience
a quiver
my tongue ties
in your thigh
fall in
to taste you
erase all
your pain dear
Up close you look like an alien
I saw your face in the clouds

Round And Around
03:47
|
|||
|
blow the roof off, of this house
I'll do it quiet, like a mouse
the heart bleeds when it hits the floor
but I keep coming back for more
Round and around just pass it around
I'll suffocate you if you suffocate me
I'm a liar, I'm a fake
so many memories I can't take
Bit off more than I could chew
I look away when I look at you
(chorus)
I'll grab the nails, you grab the rope
we're gonna string up our last hope
we'll take a picture, gods to please
swinging alone, swaying in the breeze
(chorus)
I got the urge, gimme a fix
psycho and weak, I'm the six six six
there is no past, there's only now
burn the wound, nature wont allow
bodies lie, naked and warm
the casualties of our last storm
tornado song, it wont be long
fire up the band for the funeral song
(chorus)

In Comes The Beat
03:51
|

take this devil off my shoulder
I'm awake, I'll stay colder, oh
shot my savior in the back, she
kept the faith she believed in me, oh
my name: crazy, her name: pills down
tiny tummy, coal to drown, oh
sparkly shoes and soft tight t-shirts
draw a line to connect our hurts, oh
In comes the beat, that 'lectronica sound,
and we love, that we love, that we love, that we love
In comes the bass, coming up from the ground
and we love, that we love, that we love, that we love
waves of anger come and go they
loneliness infests the day, oh
chemicals swim into our heads
find the mix to keep us in bed, oh
if you break, i wont bend, we're out of control, we're out of control
now I'm yours, but can you mend? we're out of control, we're out of control
lost my mind, lost my way, so out of control, so out of control
woke up late, scared to say, so out of control, so out of control
dirty pipe you are my best friend
please stay with us to the end, oh
her name: owl, my name: regret
down love potion, time to forget, oh

juggling the axe
between rods of flame
these hobbies keep me entertained
and entertained I will remain
half second touch
the feeling you missed
these hobbies keep me entertained
and entertained, ignore the pain
Oh wont you, charm me with your prayers
to the god of antlers and hooves
seraphim wings
the bloody remains
for seven days and seven nights
I set fires for my delight
hold my horns high
a warning, a threat
for seven days and seven nights
I set fires to kill the light
winds whipped the flames
their tongues lashed my legs
and every step I tried to take
grew harder than the last to make
finally assent
to standing in place
because after all life's just a dream
a pointless act to swim upstream

A deadly game
That's what you're after
Don't feel no pain
Don't believe in the hereafter
Powder your nose
Fuel for the fire
A mighty dose
Soul for sale but there aint no buyer
It's suicide by cop
That's what you're after
Suicide by cop
Don't need a mask
You've worn your face right out
It's your final task
Mind is clear, aint got a doubt
So out of phase
You cut yourself right down the line
It's gonna be a blaze
A bonfire built by design
I got nothing left to lose
You don't wanna walk a mile in these shoes

Once I was alive
the count begins from ten to five
four down to one
the moment came, can't be undone
INVADE AWAY
the fight is gone, I'm yours to slay
INVADE AWAY
I offer my neck, I'm your willing prey
split at the seam
legs torn off, no mouth to scream
trapped in my head
with razor blades to draw the red
Watch the blood pool form
See myself reflected there

Volcano In Stereo
02:57

i got a girl... or she has me
we're the last living creatures in the human tree
we gotta... pocket of earth in the middle of the ocean
tigers in the rough tryin' to get our fill
Volcano in Stereo
Volcano in Stereo
See the flow now let's take it slow
See the flow now let's take it slow
we'll take the shot... the little needle
pokes you in the arm and leaves ya feelin' feeble
vitamin D drippin' from our pores
takes a cloudy intervention, you I do adore
slipping away... we're in the freefall
ashes coming down in a vertical crawl
shake out the... last of your bones, we'll return to steam
take a gulp, take a look and then forget your name

The Hours
04:01
|

|
counting down the seconds, the minutes, the hours, the hours, the hours
ticking clock, the heartbeat in my ear so loud
counting down the seconds, the minutes, the hours, the hours, the hours
drop the shades, the heartbeat, the darkness surrounds
Smiling we die, while locking our eyes,
Smiling we die, while locking our eyes,
Smiling we die, while locking our eyes, our thoughts converge, let go with a sigh
bodies break down, return to star dust, you kept my name, you kept me in trust, your trust

Cavedoll Utah
Cavedoll originated in the late 80's as a failed attempt to create a cult in the already cult-saturated high desert of Utah, for the purpose of raising cash, free-ish love, (of course) lots o' drugs, cute ladies, hawt dudes with cooking skills, and solid beats abounding. None of this materialized. What is left: many albums by figurehead & curator Camden Ray & his more talented friends. ... more
Cavedoll recommends:
Camden From Cavedoll teamed up with his bestie Ransom Wydner from KING NIKO to form this pop powerhouse, which was rounded out by the talents of Stephanie Webb and Eric Stoye.

Love, Light, and Life
by The Suicycles
It's more or less a darker, wilder offshoot of Cavedoll that burned bright and flamed out after a couple of years.
