*Over The Top And Six Foot Under – 21st January 1985

~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

Wild child, well out of order
People couldn’t afford her
Over the top, loaded to the hilt
She destroyed everything you built
Built you up, pushed you down
No one pushed her around
Wild child met her maker
Paid a visit to the undertaker

*Mirages – 14th January 1985

~ shaun tenzenmen ~ 1 Comment

Dream? Or was it?
It climbed into the closet
Shooting unearthly discharges
The nightmare enlarges
Open up the door
It’s there for sure
But something is wrong
The creature has gone
A mirage or a dream
Things aren’t what they seem
The whiskey, somehow
Is empty now
