The Stray Dog Cabaret

All of us here are hookers and hustlers.

We drink too much, and don’t care

The walls are covered with birds and flowers

That have never seen the sunshine or air.

You smoke too much. There’s always a cloud

of nicotine over your head.

Do you like this skirt? I wore it on purpose.

I wanted to show lots of leg.

The windows here have been covered forever.

Is it snowing out?...maybe it’s rain.

You’ve got that look in your eyes again,

Like a cat in a crouch for the kill.

Sometimes I feel this awful pain,

as if someone were breaking a spell.

Take a good look at the one over there!

She’s dancing her way into Hell!

This life of constant thrills will drive us crazy:

wine in the morning, hangover every night.

How can we get away from this sick excitement,

The awful flush of feverish delight?

The stupid thrust of yet another handshake,

midnight kisses in the empty street

Where river waves run by us deep and heavy,

and streetlights blaze like torches when we meet.

We wait for death as if he were the Big Bad Wolf.

…And I know the first of us who dies

will be the one with the trembling mouth

and the hair always falling in his eyes.

-Anna Ahkmatova

I've been working extremely hard to finish these pieces of music for the Prince Harvest self-titled debut, complete with the necessary artwork and lyric booklet. I'm aiming for it to be released on October 31, 2010 - but considering the recent chaos and maelstrom of my life it might be a pipe dream. I hope you all enjoy the fruits of my labor and i'd love to hear some feedback if you would be so kind.

All of the photographs on the site were taken by Afton Larsen and I would like to note that the illustrations, designs and artwork were done by yours truly.

Thank you.
