lyrics

there was this guy pacing
anxiety all over his face
that would burst into laughter
every thirty seconds or so

his walk was from side to side
i couldn't help but wonder what he had eyed
how the bombs had levelled things
to who had more
money makes war
and everything torn

there's a lot of lies
in the sun today
there's a lot of lies
in the war they make
there's a lot of lies
in the love you and i
try to make

then there was the guy
who's humor was so twisted
he followed you into your bathroom stall
pushed you in
reached for his zipper
as if he meant to rape
you yelled then he laughed
and walked away
an employee at the station
on an ordinary work day

what other jokes
were these women the subject of
when their men had turned
to murderers and the dead

our friend Ante's wife lost her head
when the building next door was bombed
after that their marriage just bottomed out
he felt like the inside of her had gone

and at the tram in the underground
at the bazaar on the outside of town
we skirt ruins
we see faces that war make
sallow with grey
and uranium hay
the bomb they didn't drop
so they say

and the houses that are gutted
and the children that are saved
and over it all the coca cola flag waves

and the lady who's so excited we speak english
she gives us a free pair of gloves
those gloves never warmed your hands how could they
the cold was from the inside out
on our skin and inside of it

there's a lot of lives
in the sun today
there's a lot of lives
in the war they made
there's a lot of lives
in the love you and i

and then up in the sky
the most beautiful swell of black crows
right after sunset before the whole sky goes black
they circled dipped and swarmed
hypnotized me with their flight
and then in a minute
were gone

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
