It's the first day of summer heat. Temperature is one hundred and four. The junkies and drunks hit the street, shufflin' towards death's door. Freon raindrops fall from air conditioners that hang from windows on the third floor. I think "this day couldn't be finer", as I shuffle towards death's door. Bicycle tires roll over broken glass from the shattered window of a store. The prostitutes all congregate beneath the overpass, as they shuffle towards death's door. **** smoke fills the air as I finish off beer number four. A chance to put my mind elsewhere, as I shuffle towards death's door.

Shufflin' Towards Death's Door
