tongue-stuck on NASA sugar-lick

seems I gotta pay you in one o’ two currencies you regard

I’d prefer it be women,

but can’t seem find one cruel enough

like to scratch itch you got

(or least itch-the-monkey-got

been ridin’ you since

first thought you had yo’self)

 

back when you learnt trick

to go make the world hush

n’ wrap it up in a veil

so you’s could hear what’s inside

 

the skull-box, the head-bell.

 

so ‘stead I’m paying ya’ in dusky goddess

albeit, one sec-on-dairy substitute.

 

look like a milk bottle anyways

 

just like the patch of sugar-lick,

type they put up on astronaut’s helmet

(right up on the visor),

kissin’ that nose-scratch pad

only other thing you give **** ‘bout

 

fore’ they shoot your *** out past air n’ reason

on ‘dat titanium dildo-burn-momma-plume

stretchin’ right back on the char.

 

your guts higher than Chuck Yeager

and the launch pad crispier

than site o’ your first break-up,

that first pretty thing...

somewhere's ‘long boundary road, right?

west end.

 

same spot little ‘sparrows die

if they light down there,

even recent be as yesterday

 

but back now on the rocket,

you all tongue-stuck on NASA sugar-lick

cow on molasses

lab-coat-spice raspin’ your tongue.

don’t taste like sugar at all, do it?

 

So fore’ black hole turn you

all pasta filata, cheese stick, spa-ghett-o-fied

like somethin’ out of Michigan-kid’s school lunch

 

I want ya’ howl something’ special for me.

inta’ mic on hand,

while you strum Bm7 n G6

on the faithful...

 

I want you cut me down

a re-cor-ding of’ Hollywood’ by America.

 

closest I ever gonna get

 

make me

something I can keep and warm my hands by.

and I want you make it real tasty.
