NOTE: this is what the bathouse manifesto used to be.

the dissapearance of a bathouse junky
gabriel duncan

sitting on a hormornal overdrive
release is a short drive away
shifting from city to city
in search of someone witty or
interesting , not needy
crazy hey these days
no ones on the level
serial mongagomists
and dirty tricks
up and down the channel

can't quit turnin out these
fine ass lads' asses
for massive passes
and pockets of phone numbers
out number
the voices of reason
succumbing to sleazin
even reason can--
back up the need for attention
but mention not
retention , instead bench him
and take a trot

a lot of time
spent on jokes
and fools so messed up
i wanted to analyze
instead of fuck
big surprise though
disappointments abound
no love for ho's loving you after they go down
blowing up the phone the hun'neth time around
slow down clown
no wedding gown for you
mistconstrued perhaps
but step back--

this chap ain't about
a poisened-hipped angel
fabled ever again
you live in a world where
every man you fucked
was always the one you loved
and you were always struck
when it came to tragic end
but please let's not pretend
i only love you in the bed
' rather add you to my harem
than be the man you wed

only 48 hours
and you can't wait to get hitched
head fix
he's messing with it
never had a trick
miss the point as much as him
nothing left out in my communication
so it's the long vacation
spending nights in vacant beds
with my memories
and vasoline instead
he said I love you
I tossed the greatest lay
i'm still kicking my self
but it's better this way

I wish I could love you
the way you love me
I wish I could be
the man of your dreams
but I'm not
I'm a player
so leave me alone
find someone dependent
a guy you can own
go find someone else
someone who doesn't know better
and when your petty
and ready to flaunt
you can send me a letter

love , love, love
you hardly knew me
but I knew you were a n00bie
ooby dooby-
try not to hold it against me
be friendly
there's a fish full of sea
plainly you couldn't see the signs
divided don't call me
stop tying the line
into call at the time
fill up the box
come around the house
cause drama on my block
didn't use the phone
wouldn't call the cops
took him back to sacramento
and dropped the lamer off

so here's the nice guy asshole
who built a castle and moated
his heart, moted life with art
took it all apart and put it back
together ; can't act like this stormy
weather is heavier, than a steady
dribble .   talking wishful piddle,
but stuck in the middle again
he found me with a group of friends
when will it end?
oh no
oh why
oh whoa
my friends said, "hide
' we'll cover your back"
so they played interference
and suppressed his attack
while I ran through the kitchen
and slid out the back
I didn't look back
took off down south
where they don't have the net
or word of mouth
sometimes I hear him
calling my name
but I have vasoline
and i'm out of the game
