I need words

deckard kinder



(also in cc&d magazine v100, March 1998)




words

I need words

I need hundreds of words
I need thousands of wor ds
I need hundreds of thousands of words
I need millions of words

I need words

I got pictures
I got all kinds of pictures in my brain

I got symbols
I got icons
I got images running around in my brain
flooding my brain
drowning my brain
saying meaning signifying this + that + the other

I got music
I got rhythm
I got shapes
I got sizes
I got it all

except words

words

I need words

words to say this
words to say that
words to say the other

words + words + words + words +
last time I looked I didnıt have the words
last time I looked I couldnıt find the words
last time I looked the words werenıt there

oh yeah
I could hear em talking behind my back
two-faced bastards
I could feel em moving around in my head
like rats behind walls
I could smell em hiding behind the pictures in my brain

chickenshit words

one word
two words
three words
four score + seven motherfucking words ago
four score + seven motherfucking words ago
four score + seven motherfucking words ago
I had words

words to say what I had to say

words

words to make you laugh
words to make you cry
words to turn you on
words to turn you off
words to turn you to me
words to turn you from me
words to make you wet

words baby

hipster-hopster words on crack
words I never would take back

words

I got something to say and iım not saying it
I got something to say and iım not saying it
I got something to say and iım not saying it
so dig me

Iım digging myself a grave
building myself a tomb
constructing a post-modern mausoleum of wordlessness
for me
to me
whatıll you do me
I want words

absurd words
deferred words
inferred preferred referred fucking goddamn before and after words
to go along with
the pictures
the symbols
the icons
the images
rotting in my brain
like so much dead fucking flesh
without words

I need words

can you dig it
