lyrics

SO HERE I AM AT POETRY NITE
DRINKING COFFEE
LUSTING AFTER BEER
AND CIGARETTES
MY LOWER PARTS DON'T WORK NO MORE
I ONLY CUM ONCE A YEAR
ON MY BIRTHDAY
WITH THE
HELP OF(?)
SEXUAL AIDS SUCH AS MY POETRY
A MONKEY HAT WITH A HOLE
OR THE MEMORY HAD ON APRIL 12, 1974
MY TONGUE - "THE TINGLER" -
ON A GIN STAINED CLITORIS
HOW SHE BROKE THE BABY
I STOOD UP CRYING
IT LAUGHED
ITS ERECTION WAS BIGGER THAN MINE
I'VE BEEN TRAUMATIZED
I NEVER PAID MUCH ATTENTION TO SOLDIER POETS
I SALUTE THEM
BUT NOT THE WAY I WOULD A
HENRY ROLLINS FLAG
NOW HERE I AM AT POETRY NITE
WHERE EVERYONE IS YOUNG AND BRIGHT AND FULL OF LIFE
I'M OLD,
DULL,
AND FULL OF SHIT
I OPEN A SEAT ON A THRONE (?)
LIKE A WARPED KING DIAMOND CD
I DO DRUGS
I DO PAGANS
I DO GOD
I DO ANGELS
I DON'T DO WINDOWS
JUST DISHES
I WALK THE STREETS
IN SEARCH OF A DREAM
IN A GOD DAMNED FOG
WITH RICHARD HELL
I TURN
THE COOLNESS OOZING THROUGH EVERY
POUR ME
ANOTHER CUP OF COFFEE
AND EXPLAIN TO ME AGAIN
HOW AND WHY THESE STRANGE THOUGHTS AND MUSIC
COME TO ME SO EASILY
YET I CAN'T HANDLE BEING AROUND TOO LONG
AFRAID SOMEONE MIGHT
THINK I'M IMPORTANT
AND WANT TO TALK
ABOUT THIS CONVERSATION TO REAR ITS UGLY HEAD
HOW I WENT CAMPING
THE DEER SHIT AND ROTTEN LEAVES BOTHER ME
OR WHY I CAN'T SMILE
WHEN THE MORONIC FACE OF DAWN KISSES MY WINDOW
AFRAID OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT
AFRAID I MIGHT BE MISTAKEN FOR A BORN AGAIN LION
I'D RATHER BE IN AN OPIUM DEN
THAN HAVE MY NOSE STUCK IN
THE BOOK OF DANIEL
FOR ONE SECOND
I LOVE WRITING MY WILL
ON PAPER
POETS WRITE THEIR WILL EVERY DAY
MY WILL IS SENSITIVE AND PROMISES NOTHING
BUT REMAINS
SOME PEOPLE COUNT SHEEP
TO BOMBS IN THEIR SLEEP
I COUNT DISHES
JUMPING OVER FENCES
TO MARILYN MANSON
THEY ALWAYS BREAK
AND THAT WAKES ME
AND I CALL
LOU REED (?)
FOR SOME GOOD METH
BECAUSE I'M AFRAID OF SLEEPING
THOSE GUYS ARE EATING WHITMAN'S CHOCOLATES AGAIN
THE DISHES ARE LAUGHING
AT MY NEW PLACE TO COOL (?)
I'M JUST A LAUGHING DISHES FOOL
