I climb up onto the roof of your car, take off my shirt, and howl at the moon. And you look at me with those weird eyes. I pawned all my stuff for those pretty flowers that bloom inside me when youre around. And that sticky spot on the bedspread, that I lap up like sour milk. And I will make you pure like me, eat the garbage from your entrails, put your blood in dialysis bags, And I'll put on my seal skin and crawl under you, but you will remain a skeleton, my salt lick lover, and we will make our bed on the banks of the river. We’ll lay around and get drunk and youll laugh at all my jokes while tiny bugs gnaw at my feet.
