    Geronimo | Great Error - City Boy (2:45)
    mouthing words only to break up uncomfortable pauses
    between handshakes
    make sure you never sweat or break eye contact
    or hesitate
    when you know what you want

    geronimo says
    take off your boots and jump into the bed
    make sure you never get out of his head
    keep the alarm set to eastern time

    reach up and slap the shit out of the callout box
    floating above my head
    slap the number sign
    slap the dollar sign
    slap the exclamation point

    geronimo says
    have seven drinks and take off all your clothes
    be sick in the john and still smell like a rose
    pass out at dinner and stumble home
    geronimo says
    let your words come out distorted and vague
    hiding the fact that you've nothing to say

    check your pulse and
    check your wallet
    stamp your stats on
    your forehead
    8:30
    too early
    kill time with the DJ
    tight leather
    wife beater
    nipple rings and crew cut
    don't worry
    they love you
    they leave you standing there
    drink in hand
    get out while you can
    check your pulse and
    check your wallet
    stamp your stats on
    your forehead

    geronimo says
    drown out the static with headphones and hands
    scream through your teeth but issue no demands
    sit there and suffer in agony
    geronimo says
    break up a family and steal all the men
    wash off your hands and then do it again
    polish your halo and make it shine

    Silent Sister | Great Error - Also Ran (5:20)
    Have you got a light
    I've seen this door a hundred times
    Touched this railing like a hundred hands
    Seen these faces rage and fade
    And crumble into lonely age
    I know what it's like to be a liar
    When everyone around you is a fire
    I think you know it too, don't you
    Let's have a drink or two
    We're not rebels, we're not heroes
    We're just here, we're just queer
    The fuzz can smell our fear
    The cameras are rolling when they pull us apart
    We didn't know this was how it would start

    Break down, silent sister
    Look out the bars for the one you lost
    All we have are shadows and shame
    What's your name
    Will you stay
    Before they take us away

    We saw them throw stones
    We buffered our bones
    The whip cracked
    The jail cell full of queens of all sizes and colors
    You weren't there
    They dragged you by your hair
    This beautiful boy
    Taken away in rags
    Taken away in bags
    The cops went home to their wives and their steak knives
    And we screamed for years

    We felt the sting privilege had pried from us
    We were the faraway boot-crushed boys
    We want it us over them
    We take the bullets and grin
    We saw our faces in films and photographs
    We were the martyrs for progress
    What was your name again

    ... and ran through the robo-hood, trying to figure out where to head next. It was time for a switch-case-break, like the nerd types down at the station used to say - had to narrow down the options and figure out which one fit. But something pulled at me: a voice. A female voice. I could feel it tugging at my mind, two memories at once - the spiffy dame who brought me the case, and the same face in a golden wood, with pointed ears and a voice like melted butter. That voice pulled me through robo-hood, getting louder and louder ...

    ... Then I saw him. The darkness had opened up into an impossible cavern deep within the bowels of whatever interdimensional place I'd found myself, and in it, like a giant, spouting tower of vomit, was Multi-Mouth. Jets of fluid spewed from the gurgling orifices all over his body, himself a nearly shapeless, standing mass of pestilent goo. I swung out of the car, the rage of what this monster had done to my world burning through any caution. ...
