What’s Love?
Can I do without?
Leave the heart sober,
I’ll make a red hot spring at where the tributary was
Something for tourists, in the aftermath
Had to pick jackass-hair kisses off my teeth each minute,
Too many wrong choices,
There’s been a slaying in the subway
The chamber is cramped
Tyler did a somersault over the debris
Got himself a spot on the world record
Zia put together an old wagon from broken train pieces
He harvested from the jammed tunnel
This cellar is so dark
Even AM bands can’t get through,
shrrrtshhhh, no reception
All I hear is the dull waves
Has his blood dried up yet?
I mean the goofer who nosedived into the track
Before the wreckage happened
He looked such a Cupid baby
But this suicide note must get to his mother
My last obligation to the smoke-headed lovelorn
