one ugly morning
you painted all your windows black
you weighed down
for a gentle drown
you didn’t call anyone back
you felt like you were ready
for a new experience and so…
you got so wasted
one ugly morning
you awoke to the flavor
of bayonets
your hands wet from clawing
the girl with the barb wire crown
as she laughed and wept
“one ugly morning
you will spread like a bat wing kite”
she said
“and one ugly morning you will
give yourself to drowning drowning”
you got so wasted
one ugly morning
you lay down, gently screaming
in the frozen grass
cradled by the tender torturers
making plans for murder
down in the underpass
“you’ve got that crazy crazy feeling
it’s the crossroad blues again…
you want that crazy crazy feeling?
like you’re drowning drowning?”
you got so wasted
one ugly morning
you awoike to the flavor
of bayonets
“you call that performing?”
said the girl with the crown of thorns
and the cigarettes
“you’ve got that lonely lowly feeling
it’s the crossroad blues again…
you want that lonely lowly feeling?
like you’re drowning drowning?”
you got so wasted
… and so
you slip to the other side
go curl up
with your borrowed knives
shut it off
when you recognize
paint your windows black
