Oh, your turpentine kiss.: I Need This Love Like the World Needs More Poems About Zombies...and I don't think it does.
You came hurling though the chain-link fence like a student film.
Rigid as a suicidal pigeon.
You cracked your face into mine like a mudslide through a windshield and

Wherefore they came again, and told him. And he said, This is the word of the LORD, which he spake by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel: / And the carcase of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel; so that they shall not say, This is Jezebel.
The degree of civilization in a society can be judged by entering its prisons.
I often carry things to read
so that I will not have to look at
the people.
Sober, life is a prison
Shitfaced, it is a blessing
Sober, nobody wants you
Shitfaced, they’re all undressing
Sober, it’s ever darker
Shitfaced, the moon is nearer
Sober, you’re old and ugly
Shitfaced, who needs a mirror?
Sober, you’re a cro-magnun
Shitfaced, you’re very clever
Sober, you never should be
Shitfaced, now and forever![chorus]
I gotta get too drunk to dream
‘cause dreaming only makes me blue
i gotta get too drunk to dream
because i only dream of youi gotta get too pissed to miss you
or i’ll never get to sleep
i gotta drink wine not to pine for you
and god knows that ain’t cheapi know you think i’m insane
i know it’s not appealing
but til i’m feeling no pain
guess what i’ll be feeling?{chorus}
I gotta get too fried to cry,
or i’ll be crying all night long
i gotta get too high to sigh
oh my god where did i go wrong?So why do i get plastered?
and why am i so lonely?
it’s you, you heartless bastard
you’re my one and only![chorus]
i gotta get too pissed to miss you
or i’ll never get to sleep
i gotta drink wine not to pine for you
and god knows that ain’t cheap
and god knows that ain’t cheap!
