Hoboken (pt1)

The forever-stench of hoboken

The most composed... undress

Loosened to a senseless smirk

Keep walking...

The prettiest eyes droop to a cool low

Posture is hard to keep with them shots!

Keep walking...

Messaging another senseful planet the boring absurdity of now

Watch your step!

Her fine italian dinner is inches away

Or is it fine thai...

It's vulgarity kills any sense of definition

Uh oh... now there are more puddles!

Keep away from those leaking lakes

Of sushi... sashimi... heineken... absolut!

Absolutely acceptable in this town!

Come on! We're almost out of it

Out of the town we were once so happy to visit just a couple of hours ago

When everyone was efficient, and not venturing *****

When communication wasn't fogged, but clear and easy

When men didn't dress like 14 year old boys trying to score at a house party

And women didn't give away their IQ so easily, heads slightly bent forward with a lack of direction

Maybe it was home, maybe it was danger, maybe it was fun

The zombie within arose with a wretched stench of alcohol

Yet this will never stop selling

People are sold this "treasure" of acceptance, rank, a strong sense of esotericism, all lies

Yet in reality, they are simple facades, regular people like you and me.

O Hoboken, you stink
