BONES Lyrics

“Alone”

Bones
(© 2020 D Bones)

I know the weakness that you feel inside.
I know 'cause I've been there, a thousand times.
And I've been going under,
sinking like a stone.
Trying to forget,
I'm trapped here alone.

I know you're out there, somewhere,
still, waiting, on your own.
Nothing outside your window.
Tryin', tryin' to be strong,
alone.
Have you been going under,
sinking like a stone?
Lost is the innocence,
trapped here alone.

No one to notice, if you're not there.
The streets are empty, and the cupboards bare.
And I've been going under,
sinking like a stone.
Trying to forget,
I'm trapped here alone

And I've been going under,
sinking like a stone.
Lost is the innocence,
trapped here alone.
Trapped here alone.
Trapped here alone.
Alone.
Alone.

“Psykada”

Bones
(© 2017 D Bones)

Awakened from an ancient dream
Shedding the night deliberately
Sounding screams brilliantly
Psy---kada
Psy---kada

From the abyss I hear the drum
A stir of echoes closely comes
to the doorstep of delirium
Psy---kada
Psy---kada

Sing your song of life
Sing your song of death
Sing your song divine
Sing it 'till you end

The lathe of heaven turns and hones
our illusion ' we are one
Cast on a sea like skipping stones
Psy---kada
Psy---kada

Veils mist mimosa tree
stars shine down on you and me
and I await you eternally
Psy---kada
Psy---kada

Sing your song of life
Sing your song of death
Sing your song divine
Sing it 'till you end

“Trying To Find Mine”

Bones
(© 2017 D Bones)

There's a long and lonesome highway,
outta Austin south to San Antone'.
Under a starlit Texas skyline,
alone with the wind and the x-radio.

I can still hear her last words to me,
She said, “Boy...these are the breaks.
I need my wide-open spaces,
room to make my own big mistakes.

I don't want you to take anymore chances.
I don't wanna take up anymore of your time.
I won't be listen'ng to anymore of your answers.
I'll be too busy tryin' to find mine.”

(break)

Thought I saw a tear in her eye,
Maybe it was a lost love's regret.
Now I'm just a mem'ry there in her rearview,
She's a mem'ry I can't forget.

Somewhere out on a west Texas highway,
her blonde hair is shinin' in the sun.
Another gypsy, findin' her way.
A dreadful dreamer out on the run.

I don't want her to take anymore chances.
I won't be taken up anymore of her time.
I won't be listen'ng to anymore of her answers.
Cause I'll be out on that highway, tryin' to find mine.

“I Warned You”

Bones
(© 2016 D Bones)

Long ago, in another place,
we were standing face to face,
we were livin' high,
and I warned you.

You told me how we'd never end,
but if we did, we'd still be friends.
How's that workin' for ya?
Well, I warned you.

I warned you 'bout the little lies.
I warned you 'bout the veiled disguise.
I warned you that everything dies.
I warned you 'bout you and I.

I think about us, to this day.
Why did the world take you away
from me?
You should've warned me.

I warned you 'bout existential dread.
I warned you 'bout the living dead.
I warned you that it's all in your head.
I warned you, but then you said;

"It must be a heavy price t'have t'pay
t'wonder 'round each and everyday
with what you know."
But, I warned you.

Life isn't fair or even kind.
Every minute you're fumbling blind
for an answer.
But, I warned you.

I warned you 'bout crossin' the streets.
I warned you 'bout the things you eat.
I warned you 'bout the people you meet.
I even warned you 'bout lovin' me.

“Anyone Else”

Bones
(© 2016 D Bones)

Think I'm goin' to LA
gonna go hear some old friends play
some of my favorite rock 'n roll,
sounds and mem'ries from long ago.

Gonna stroll down the boulevard
that was home to the music and rock 'n roll gods.
Morrison played the London Fog.
The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, I heard 'em all.

I don't wanna see,
I don't wanna see,
anyone else but you.

Don't want there t'be,
Don't want there t'be,
anyone else but me.

The Galaxy and Ciro's aren't there anymore,
but we still have the Whiskey and the Troubadour.
Now it's The Fonda, and The House of Blues,
The Echo, Los Globos and The Viper Room.

You can still hear the music being made
by the legends of tomorrow, the soul of today.
The past, 'n the present play on the radio
and I got to see it, live it, love it, and hear it all.

I don't wanna see,
I don't wanna see,
anyone else but you.

Don't want there t'be,
Don't want there t'be,
anyone else but me.

I don't wanna see,
anyone else.
Don't want there t'be,
anyone else.
I don't wanna see,
anyone else.
Don't want there t'be,
anyone else.
Anyone else.
Anyone else.
Anyone else.
Anyone else.

“Anarchist's Blues”

Bones
(© 2016 D Bones)

The other night, I had myself a great bowl of smoke
and after several hours of heavy tokes
I fell into a deep slumber
and had a somnambulistic encounter
with the great philosopher, Immanuel Kant,
who came to me and said, "Son, you need to know
there are four kinds of governments;
first, there's force without freedom and law - that's barbarism,
then there's law and force without freedom - that's depotism
force with freedom and law - that's a republic
last, there is law and freedom without force - that's anarchy."

It's the anarchist's blues
you've been confused
burn it all down
burn it down to the ground
start it over anew
this time with the truth
the fire in your eyes
destroy the lies
we'll soon be relieved
of unjust authority
sing the Anarchist's Blues.....with me

"Holy Fuck!", I half-heard myself say,
when out of the sky, coming directly at me,
was a great ball of light, as bright as the day.
I had to shield my eyes. I thought, "Perhaps this is the end".
But a voice came from the light, and it spoke as a friend,
"If you want to achieve greatness, stop asking for permission.
And remember, if you repeat a lie often enough,
it becomes politics.....religion."
I cried out, "Tell me how I can avoid this living hell".
And the voice spoke back, "Refuse, Resist, Revolt, Rebel."

It's the anarchist's blues
you've been abused
burn it all down
burn it down to the ground
start it over anew
this time with the truth
the fire in your eyes
destroy the lies
we'll soon be relieved
of unjust authority
sing the Anarchist's Blues.....with me

(Voice over break)
There's a new age waiting for the man who will make it;
revolution is his mantra, humanity his respite.
Rise up against the puppet masters,
Wall Street's greed and the Corporate fascists.
Wake up from fake masters' hypnotic distractions
that are made to isolate, segregate, and manipulate dissatisfaction.
Take responsibility for yourself and your fellow man.
Create a world without tyranny.

It's the anarchist's blues
you've been abused and confused
burn it all down
burn it down to the ground
start it over anew
this time with the truth
the fire in your eyes
destroy the lies
we'll soon be relieved
of unjust authority
sing the Anarchist's Blues.....
sing the Anarchist's Blues.....
sing the Anarchist's Blues.....with me

“Cleopatra's Bones”

Bones
(© 2016 D Bones)

I married Cleopatra
on September seventeen.
All around us, TV cameras,
as we played out our wedding scene.
Elvis asked if we took each other.
I shuffled in my blue suede shoes.
Cleopatra smiled at me reassuringly
as she whispered we do.

I found myself the next morning
at the edge of a great divide
there was a hole where once a great pyramid stood
now filled with tears that an empire cried.
I watched as e.e. Cummings waded out
steeped in burning flowers to his thighs
he opened his mouth, took in the sun
and leaped into the ripe air alive.

Heaven shouted at me,
Heaven shouted at me,
"Go to your window and see
Cleopatra's bones."

Cleopatra took me to the carnival at midnight
where I saw Lennon try to recall
some words he had just written
on the hotel bathroom stall.
To me they held such meaning
I started dreaming of the past
but Cleopatra caught me falling head first
saying, this too will not last.

Heaven shouted at me,
Heaven shouted at me,
"Go to your window and see
Cleopatra's bones."

Some are delighted by showers of dust
others are drawn to the sword
I, myself, like to revel in lust
and the ascension of the overlord.
I still remember Cleopatra,
though I could not hold on to her for long.
So I sold my first class ticket
and walked off with a new sense wrong.

Heaven shouted at me,
Heaven shouted at me,
"Go to your window and see
Cleopatra's bones."
Heaven shouted at me,
Heaven shouted at me,
"Go to your window and see
Cleopatra's bones."
Cleopatra's bones.
Cleopatra's bones.

“Back To You”

Bones
(© 2016 D Bones)

Shadows' fallin' across the lawn,
callin' out this heartbreak song.
The wind is playin' a sad refrain.
My heart's breakin' from all this pain.
Down the road, a mile or two,
I can see the skies are blue.
I can see me runnin', too,
back to you.

Sunset's prelude to the night,
paints the sky with disappearin' light.
Moon's risin' warms the glow,
to show another lonely heart home.
Down the road, a mile or two,
I can see the skies are blue.
I can see me runnin', too,
back to you.

All the reasons left behind.
Only you on my mind.
All I have left to do,
is keep runnin' back to you.

Farewell to all my schemes,
hello to happier dreams.
A heart in tatters I have worn
to keep me warm as I run home.
Down the road, a mile or two,
I can see the skies are blue.
I can see me runnin', too,
back to you,
...back to you,
...back to you.

“Let Go”

Bones
(© 2016 D Bones)

Too many lives to follow,
too many ways to see the show.
Everyone has an opinion
that I'm supposed to know.

One heart crying for nothing.
Two hearts crying for more.
My heart's begging for a reason
to let go.
Let go.

You've become so cynical.
You're cleverness so unkind.
To think and feel so little,
I'm not supposed to mind.

One heart crying for nothing.
Two hearts crying for more.
My heart's begging for a reason
to let go.
Let go.

[break]

Too many lives to follow,
too many ways to see the show.
Everyone has an opinion
that I'm supposed to know.

One heart crying for nothing.
Two hearts crying for more.
My heart's begging for a reason.
Let go.

“Hearts Of Sound”

Bones
(© 2016 D Bones)

Here I sit, all alone.
I guess I wasted another day.
Hours here by the phone;
guess you just ain't got anymore to say.
And I find myself a wishin'
that my dreams just hadn't turned out this way.
------ that was yesterday.

I'm leavin' this lonesome town.
These sorrows won't take me down,
before all the hearts of sound
have gone to ground.

Sunrise marks the time
as the daylight hours pass.
I go out of my mind
pretending memories just don't last.
Pieces of this heart of mine
lie shattered along side the hour glass.
------ this too shall pass.

I'm leavin' this lonesome town.
These sorrows won't weigh me down,
or forget all the hearts of sound
that have gone to ground.

[break]

I'm leavin' this lonesome town.
These sorrows won't take me down,
before all the hearts of sound
have gone to ground.

“I Wanna Live Forever”

Bones
(© 2015 D Bones)

Younger days, younger ways,
fear 'n loathing is all the craze.
I wanna live forever.
Midnight sun, loaded guns,
melting deserts, nowhere to run.
I wanna live forever.

Hopelessness, happiness
they're the two things that I miss.
I wanna live forever.
Kale bowls, cleanse the soul,
empty forgiveness fills the whole.
I wanna live forever.

[Chorus]
Mama, why did we
leave such a legacy?
It's all about me.
I wanna live forever.

Passion's fruit, pressure suits,
reigned over by corporate brutes.
I wanna live forever.
Pigs in pens, medicines,
purge and cure all our sins.
I wanna live forever.

[Break]

Rainbow skies, faux lies,
the viewer watches our demise.
I wanna live forever.
Don't speak, just eat
what is written on the street.
I wanna live forever.

[Chorus]
Mama, why did we
leave such a legacy?
It's all about me.
I wanna live forever.

Younger days, younger ways,
electric four blade shaves.
I wanna live forever.
Mama, why did we
leave such a legacy?
It's all about me.
I wanna live forever.
I wanna live forever.

“Around You”

Bones
(© 2015 D Bones)

I watched the night crawl around you.
I saw the sky fall around you.
'round you.
'round you.

I watched the clouds rush around you.
I saw the moon blush around you.
'round you.
'round you.

'round you, the hidden shadows of our hearts,
'round you, our bonds are forged, no way to part.
'round you.
'round you.
'round you.
'round you.

Travel far, the second star to the right.
Spirit bathes your pathway in light
'round you.
'round you.

Daybreak and your fate collide.
Haven's gate, for our sake, divides
'round you.
'round you.

'round you, the hidden shadows of our hearts,
'round you, our bonds are forged, no way to part.
'round you.
'round you.
'round you.
'round you.

I watched the night crawl around you.
I saw the sky fall around you.

“Hoochie Man”

I saw you lookin' my way, baby
showin' off, you da queen bee.
Well, tell your friends, girl.

'Cause I'm your hoochie man, momma

C'mon over here, baby

'Cause I'm your hoochie man, momma

[Chorus]

“The Sin”

Bones
(© 2013 D Bones)

Whaddaya think
a heart is for...
giving life, or crushing souls?

Cyrillic ink
on your skin,
carry the names of your victims.

[Chorus]
summon by incantation the sin,
your feast of lies and heartaches to win.

Blood and wine,
you've gained the taste.
Mastery of human waste.

Enemies,
without and within.
A victim's soul. Delusion begins.

[Chorus]
summon by incantation the sin,
your feast of lies and heartaches to win.

Maledicto die
Maledicto nocte
Ambulabit in tenebris in aeternum
Fugite a luce

You hold my breadth
with crushing weight.
With love's attack I suffocate.

Carelessness,
a callous heart,
self-deceit, and life-less parts.

[Chorus]
summon by incantation the sin,
your feast of lies and heartaches to win.
summon by incantation the sin,
your feast of lies and heartaches to win.

Whaddaya think
a heart is for...
giving life, no... crushing souls!

“Waiting for the End”

Bones
(© 2014 D Bones)

Sad eyes, you look away
sorrowful, the words you say
all those thoughts you were taught to conceal

Empty heart, cold to the touch
why should you want so much
barricade the longing that you feel

[Chorus]
Lives that rhymed
now out of time
still....you pretend
One sad song
sung too long
waiting for the end.

Angel, demon disguise
heaven's hell is seen through these eyes
salvation denied by the razors edge

Temptations fated pain
as long as you remain
apprenticed to this soulless pledge

[Chorus]
Lives that rhymed
now out of time
still....you pretend
One sad song
sung too long
waiting for the end.

“4th Dream Blues”

Bones
(© 2014 D Bones)

Well, you left me here, baby.
Left me here all alone.
Yes, you left me here, baby.
Left me here all alone.
I believed all your lies, girl.
How could I have been so wrong?

Gotta buy me a Magpie, mama.
One for sorrow, so I'm told.
Gonna buy me a Magpie, mama.
One for sorrow, so I'm told.
If I gotta have all this bad luck,
'don't wanna have it alone.

Hmm...hmm
Hmm...hmm
Oh yes.
Oh yes.

I'm goin' outside, baby.
Let the sun beat down on me.
I'm goin' outside, yeah,
and let that sun beat down on me.
Let it warm my soul and
burn away your memory.

Gonna find me a strip club, mama.
One where the girls all know my name.
I'm gonna find me a strip club, baby.
One where the girls all know my name.
I'm gonna drown my sorrow,
in a sea of whiskey an' T'nA.

Hmm...hmm
Hmm...hmm
Oh yes.
Oh yes.

“Wonderin' Road”

Bones
(© 2014 D Bones)

Rollin' down this road tonight,
led by the full moon light,
wonderin' where this road may lead.

Left her with a tear in her eye.
Haunted mem'ry of a time gone by.
White stripes....flashin' by.

[Chorus]
Oh....oh, wonderin' road
Oh....oh, wonderin' road
Oh....oh, wonderin' road
........, take me back home.

Cafe neon sign burns bright,
shadowed in my red tail lights.
Only for the lonely souls on this road.

I miss my baby and my happy home.
Just getting' static on my radio.
Wonderin' where this road's gonna go.

[Chorus]
Oh....oh, wonderin' road
Oh....oh, wonderin' road
Oh....oh, wonderin' road
........, take me back home.

The wasted years chasing it down,
a brass ring from a merry-go-round.
Wheels tappin' to the beat of my heart.

The emptiness, a likely dream,
of movin' highways, a fantasy.
Wonderin' road keep movin' me, movin' me.

[Chorus]
Oh....oh, wonderin' road
Oh....oh, wonderin' road
Oh....oh, wonderin' road
........, take me back home.
........, take me back home.
..wonderin' road, take me back home.

“The Livin' End”

I see the look on your face
as you stare 'cross the room into space
watching your world fall away
seems like the thousandth time today.

Why do you try to pretend
all that you see has an end
somewhere it stops where it began
waiting to come 'round again.

[Chorus]
Why don't you take a little longer
and let your love grow stronger?
A new day is just around the bend
Isn't life the livin' end?

Needless to say there was a time
when I put my heart on the line.
The first time, I played the game,
the next time, I took the blame.

[Chorus]
Why don't you take a little longer
and let your love grow stronger?
A new day is just around the bend
Isn't life the livin' end?

“This Love Kills More Slowly”

You talk too much and shout too little.
You seem to enjoy your life in the middle.
But nobody listens to the muddle of the middle,
that strange gurgling rattle that's more than a riddle.
Just remember, I warned you
I shouted too lowly,
belief is the killer,
but this love kills more slowly.

Stand by me, you'll get pelted with stones,
'cause life at my edge will earn you your bones!
You'll break and bruise and be driven to your knees
The crowd will laugh against your background of pleas,
Just remember, I warned you
I shouted too lowly,
belief is the killer,
but this love kills more slowly.

[Chorus]
If it's passion that drives you,
you'll search for a love to share
You'll spend a lifetime hoping
that you find someone who cares.
But most will stop to listen
to a sound that burns
in the ears of everyone that yearns
not for a message,
they've forgot,
but rather, to be you...
you live what they dare not.

So keep talking too much and don't shout, it's not worth it.
You will enjoy the middle, dissatisfaction averted.
Be part of the muddle, that strange gurgling rattle,
that was the background noise to all of my battles.
Just remember, I warned you
I shouted too lowly,
belief is the killer,
but this love kills more slowly.

“Amazing”

It's been a little over a year since you went away,
you'd lost that love for me was what you said.
For the longest time I was lost and afraid.
My life, my future was all you.

I'd fall down and everytime I tried to get up,
I'd stumble right back to the ground.
With no direction, no reason to get up,
without you by my side, without you all around.

[Chorus]
So how can I tell you now, so much time has past,
just how much you meant to me?
The only thing I ever wanted us to be,
the only love that would last...
I wanted us to be amazing.

And now as time heals the wounded heart,
I've found my feet again.
A little stumble every once in a while.
Just little mem'ries of what we might have been.

[Chorus]
So how can I tell you now, so much time has past,
just how much you meant to me?
The only thing I ever wanted us to be,
the only love that would last...
I wanted us to be amazing.

I'm still tryin' my best to get over you,
but you're always there deep in my soul.
You were the dream, you were the perfect hand.
You raised me past what I thought was low.

I still haven't figured out what happened or why,
but now I've seen my lowest low.
It's still hard somedays to make a plan.
I'll see you in my dreams and think, 'what if', again.

[Chorus]
So how can I tell you now, so much time has past,
just how much you meant to me?
The only thing I ever wanted us to be,
the only love that would last...
I wanted us to be amazing.
I wanted us to be amazing.
I thought that we could be amazing.

“Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow”

How could I be the only one
whose heart's been broken,
whose life's been undone?
They tell me time heals the heart.
So with each passing tick of the clocks,
maybe tomorrow it'll stop.

Vulture's prey on what remains
of love's decay,
its bitter stain.
Locked away in my mem'ries,
ghosts of the pain fill the air.
Maybe tomorrow I won't care.

[Chorus]
How long 'til tomorrow?
I hope it comes today.
Free me from these sorrows
that weren't here yesterday.

Yesterday, today, and tomorrow,
blur into one big sorrow.
Happiness, I just borrowed
against the past, the present, and tomorrow.

[Chorus]
How long 'til tomorrow?
I hope it comes today.
Free me from these sorrows
that weren't here yesterday.

“Erotic Karma”

I'm drawn to your passions,
not addicted to the norms,
not the breeders, not the bleeders,
not the jaded, social whores.

Reproached by perversion,
reprobate, I deserve it.
Desires that offend you,
with a touch, you surrender.

[Chorus]
Everytime I hear you,
I just wanna fuck you.
Everytime I see you,
I just wanna fuck you.
Everytime I'm near you,
I just wanna fuck you.
Everytime I touch you,
I just wanna fuck you.

I love your wide-eyed innocence.
I love your hopes and dreams.
The years that seperate us,
they're as crazy as they seem.

Your eyes give me insight,
your heart helps me live.
Critique of our abandon,
only we forgive.

[Chorus]
Everytime I hear you,
I just wanna fuck you.
Everytime I see you,
I just wanna fuck you.
Everytime I'm near you,
I just wanna fuck you.
Everytime I touch you,
I just wanna fuck you.

Trusting lips seduce me.
Eyes gaze into mine.
Breasts caressed so gently,
suckling the sublime.

Tightly wrapped around my waist
to draw me deeper in.
Heavy breath, a gasp of air,
and I am yours again.

[Chorus]
Everytime I hear you,
I just wanna fuck you.
Everytime I see you,
I just wanna fuck you.
Everytime I'm near you,
I just wanna fuck you.
Everytime I touch you,
I just wanna fuck you.
Everytime I dream of you,
I just wanna fuck you.

“A Honky Tonk Woman's Life”

In the evenings, all alone,
with a dream she's grown too old to believe in,
and the country music station
playin' those old sad songs of love an' breakin' hearts,
you'll find her in the dim light
with a beer and the story of her life on her lips,
makin' memories of a honky tonk woman's life.

Now the years have slowly slipped by
while the men in her life have fallen by the way.
And most 'the time she sits a'starin'
at the cigarettes a'burnin' all her nights away.
She finds romance in the bars now
as she tries to hide the scars of life and so she sighs,
you'll just be one more drink in a honky tonk woman's life.

She's been a mother to four children
and now they're grown and she's a woman
who needs a man to care.
So every night now that life's half over,
ah, she swears that she's gonna give it all she has.
And with a quarter in the jukebox
and a man half her age in her arms, she can smile.
She's got just what it takes t'make a honky tonk woman's life.
You're just one more drink in a honky tonk woman's life.

“Just You and Me”

If ever you're feelin' that the world has let you down,
and all your hopes and dreams of love just can't be found,
just turn to me, love
'n try 'n believe, love,
it's just you and me, in love.

You should know better than to feel so insecure.
whenever you call my name I'll come, that's for sure.
It's all that you need, love.
It's just what you see, love.
It's just you and me, in love.

I wanna wrap my arms around you and hold you tight.
If you're feeling down, I'll make it feel allright.
Just turn to me, love
'n try 'n believe, love,
It's just you and me, in love.

It's all that you need, love.
It's just what you see, love.
It's just you and me, in love.

When will you see, love,
just what it'll be, love?
It's just you and me, in love.

“Martha-Jin”

An homage to Dan Bern/Dan Bern's Dylan/Bob Dylan

I wanna band that should be played
by mother's silver lemonade
I think my terrier just got made
in crucial silhouette she's splayed
for all the aching ears of clay
that only spoil the ditch brocade
the knife, the spoon, the hand grenade
all too often are misshapen.

Connected to pop server nets
the dream filled youtube pumpkin bets
on hereditary identity theft
while acquired tastes of broken pets
and annal probes of your regrets
suffer aimless fashionista sweats
and pornographic stone brevets
order forensic narcissistic optimism.

So now sit back,
think of what I've said
and wish your ears would just go dead.
Eat the snails, Martha-Jin, in your red garlic bowl,
Eat the snails.

Overcoated court house stands
pink slimed witch with vomit hands
knowing not for what or why she stands
episcopalian troubled friends
stare with utter ductless glands
before the snot-nosed honey band
decides to remake icicle sand
the order of this drone is recreated.

The ressurected genetic pool
equal to the fecal stool
of some forgotten pantless fool
afterbirthing boarding school
graduates the lord of tools
understanding requires slide rules
bent down mothers of instanbul
left to cry and waste away with their inheritance.

Lords of wisdom,
Lords of mime,
should only work the streets part-time
Eat the snails, Martha-Jin, in your red garlic bowl,
Eat the snails.

Piss brained college monkeys shout
idiosyncratic well thought out
literary brussel sprouts
measure distance by walk abouts
the stone gardens of anothers route
bending spoons and rainbow spouts
into knots that even they sometimes doubt
leading to interesting observations.

All the jokers with half a brain
longing for the astral plane
of shear delight and acid rain
try to erase their mark of cain
while creaking, crackling candy canes
destory and rile against the pain
that can only be described as a sprain
while trying to get myself to Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Smokers cough,
and nasty breath
can eventually lead to your arrest.
Eat the snails, Martha-Jin, in your red garlic bowl,
Eat the snails.

Washing hard jerked balance sheets
oatmeal chaffe to cleanse my feet
I ask my waiter for whisky neat
brought up to my hotel bedroom suite
while those that think protest in streets
and here I sit on my toilet seat
reading Playboy magazine replete
with letters to the editor on how to date a stripper.

This whole song could bring a frown
cause I don't know what's going 'round
but I think that I'll still stick around
at least until some verbal noun
anointed with her bridal gown
and her hair colored reddish brown
decides that I am worth bedding down
and takes me like a douche in her bedchamber.

Of all the words
that could be said,
I wish that most of these hadn't filled my head.
Eat the snails, Martha-Jin, in your red garlic bowl,
Eat the snails.
