about

Highway. hm. i love this song. it's one of my faves. i play a toy piano on this that i've had since i was teeny tiny. it also references the SPARKLY QUEEN AREOLA who has been haunting my work, prodding me on, since i first did suck the life teat. hm. highway. don't know what to say about this song except black and blue. still have the taste of you.

lyrics

HIGHWAY

the moon's on full
fm
full moon
the speaker in the sky
she's loud and wise

and the highway I'm on
is shimmering

the signs shudder
there's one more strand of light
one last wisp of the wand
before night

the highway I’m on
is shimmering

the streets are bare
everyone’s tuned to the glare
it’s just me, street
wind and hair

I'm writing with my hand
covering the light
so my friend can still see
when she drives

turns are fast, changes too
I still have a patch over my eye
over you

the highway I’m on
is shimmering

long live the Sparkly Queen!
she came from the east
and rests in the west
like me

and the trees are like claws
coming by
they're Ozark stark
black on blue
I still have the aftertaste of you

the highway I’m on
Is shimmering

there's something about these streets
how they fuel us

there's something about these streets
how they fuel us

about

Bitch Los Angeles, California

The longstanding queer music icon Bitch makes witchy poet pop. She does it with violins and synthesizers, and the songs she writes are spectral, heartbreaking, political, and beautiful. "Bitchcraft" is like Joni Mitchell set to a click track, it’s queer Cyndi Lauper. It’s neon pink, in your face, ready to hex you with its brilliance. ... more
