Forty-six hours and five sick junkies in the cell with us Provident chuds all lined with stuff to keep stashes against the bust Hunger of insects, bug hungry Dry faces, hideous places Sweet dreams, adolescent gold Repossessed flesh caked with come and roses Below the discipline, a main vein throbs Flashing blue pain, the nerve bomb What does she care About the atom bomb? The cancer rent? The bedbugs? All drummed out, we manage to stave the sticks away Over-liberated, the limbs and lungs now bend away What does she care If her number’s up A vicious thirst Inertia Around midnight The hourglass of junk has run out Filling the pallid room A ghost of a dying howl What does she care About the dry gulch About the atom bomb If her number’s up Moroccan roll

Dirty Wadder 02:21
The heat closing in Cuts like a scythe, kicks like a whore Disease comes again Into this house, eats anything it wants If you got the bug juice, I got the time Shoot that dirty water in this poor blood of mine So we drive, and we drag Bloody sky falls low Oh, the bitter empty bag Some things we need, most things... Angels screaming, devils scraping If you got juice, I got time Shoot dirty water in this poor blood Spinning, spitting On two wheels and tipping If I can read the notes descend I might right the beginning Ending, pending The palimpsest is smoldering It's gone The meat clams again Crashing through every word The heat scrapes the wind The loudest sound ever heard

It won’t be hard to see the scars From the place down where you are It won’t be long until you’ve gone Through the place of regal prawns Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah Give me something to lose Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah Give me nothing to prove I'm trapped in a railroad mind The tracks so heavy, they smoked my spine But oh no, oh no, oh no Less you have, more you use Just like a black cat bone Just like a midnight moan Like a broken baby deer Like the worm inside your ear I could have you anytime But I think I’ll save you for later Say you fellate her Say you fileted her Why aren’t my parents watching? Why aren't my hatchlings hatching? It won’t be long before the bottom fetus No longer need us Needlenose spider looked me in the eye My arms legs and lungs immobilized She said "I could have you anytime, but I think I'll save you for later” Death snake throttle choke throat breath blood boil flow sweat stain dust dirt caked legs muscle skin scar tear tear loss hope fades away weak waste space cast drag face meds paste

Redeemed 04:27
I saw a dark and silent movie A holy bleeding projection Old Bull Lee dethroned Everyone went home I tried to disconnect the wires In sensory desperation My dying howl My final mouth Almost drowned you out Flashing blue pain The spiders’ remains Punctuate my veins Undone and sleeping on the stains Tendrils of the zone Try to trade your ghost The bitter, empty host Eventual refrain Duty calls again

about

Naked Launch is an oblique tribute to the William S. Burroughs novel, Naked Lunch. Written by Gavin Elder and Eddie Manouvre this collection of "rumble-and-filth" boasts lo-fi guitars, plamflat drums, and thooom bass in its sonic palette. The album was recorded during a period of relative poverty using just a Zoom recorder and an archaic Dell laptop, but the results are only as cheap as its literary intertextuality.
