lyrics

I'm writing just cuz writing's there
what if the road stopped
who would I be and where?

Just me on top of magical mound
elves all doing my hair?

I could dig that--
even though scared is in my garden
I could dig around for the guts
that made me soft
instead of harden

Do you think I could untie and sing?

I'm writing cuz you pissed me off
over and over for years
Now I'm driving through the over-populated town of my fears
After I've held on to that hard
to that fire for so long
how do I just cool out in the water, let my body be the song?

I don't want to go home
it feels like I have no home
except for this globe that's slowly warming
I'm gonna write with all my hottest love
Cuz I am Punk-chew-ation
forming

I'm writing cuz I can and I will and I want to
I'm writing cuz Valerie Solanas
died hungry in some hotel room
salt air breaks on window pane

I'm writing cuz Ferron's given me a song
that if every other one died away
it would still be left to say
when the rainbow breaks
you're still gonna be ok

Do you think I could untie and sing?

I'm writing cuz you pissed me off
over and over for years
Now I'm driving through the over-populated town of my fears
After I've held on to that hard
to that fire for so long
how do I just cool out in the water, let my body be the song?

I don't want to go home
it feels like I have no home
except for this globe that's slowly warming
I'm gonna write with all my hottest love
Cuz I am Punk-chew-ation
forming

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
