***** drugs pumped into you To make you feel filthy things Flask of cheap liquor Fill you coat pockets You pull the coat collar up On these cold spring days And walk around the world And you never leave your little life Assured in your own ineptitude You drink and dance And smile on the floor As the world shakes around you (A line used too many times) You smile at your own effigy Pleased with what you become Your feline scowl Mistaken for pride As the time burns your likenesses to dust You are happy you had one in the first place
