Another drunken party on the drunken side of town,
Betty OD'd in the bath; she turned blue, drowned.
Reggie rooted Nikki beneath a dying oak tree,
Then Nikki's fella, Tubby, capped Reggie's
knees. Macgregor drank a slab of
beer then spewed it up in the
bin, Lesso from the navy slashed his
wrists with a rusty tin. Mary did a
strip for us, we howled up at the
moon. Then someone yelled out through the night,
"I hear the sound of ruin". A rolling night on the piss,
a rolling night of shame. A rolling night of drunken bliss,
a joyful numbing pain. But from the drunken mist
of this myth-like La La Land, she jungle cat-a-walked on
out and held my quivering hand. Drunk again I fainted
with my head in a toilet bowl. Drunk again I pissed all over
the toiler floor. Naked I Rose, filthy and foul, crying a
wistful tear, I crawled out to their deco fridge and drank
another beer. Well some nights are filled with fancy.
some nights are filled with rage, but on this night
on holy piss my world became a stage. She took my
hand and held it to her sober lilac heart, the whispered
in my drunken ear "I am your work of art". We walked out to the cold dark
street and climbed a dead old tree, the spider webs were sad and beautiful to
see. We perched out on a big old branch, we howled up at the stars: "Get us home safe tonight!
But first, get us to a bar!" I am the sighing fumace; I come from puke and mewl, but sobered
by her spunky heart I learn this simple rule: That angels walk upon the earth, and devils take
their oath, and if you fall in love some time you'll need advice from both.
