Death winks at the lilies that smile in the rain. He takes her. The last ***** trick.
Watered drinks and syphilis doesn't do the patrons any good. Too much grief for placebos and madness. Relief must come. ***** and fantasy just bring sickness, and licking frogs is out of the question.
Pipe dreams ease the pain if you smoke them slowly. Watch the blue ghost curl into the feeling fan.
This saloon is home for the iceman. So, buy me another drink, and we can think about doing it all tomorrow. Isn't that right, Mr. O'Neil?
