Another pull of my beer,
another drag on my cigarette.
These are the things
most-worth thinking:
(so this is consumption,
inability to function)
long forgotten is my Alice,
is Laudie, even my Lynette.
There are numerous new reasons
for why I keep drinking.
(Who would ever make that presumption?
Could you prescribe such assumptions?)
Fall deeper and deeper,
like a boat on fire and sinking.
Combustible effervescence;
so easy to keep smoking.
So easy to keep burning yourself,
so easy to keep choking,
yet hard to forget the thoughts
that we've all been thinking.
(My money rapidly dying of consumption.
My thoughts now free from corruption.)

Another pull of my beer,
another drag on my cigarette.
These are the things
most-worth thinking:
(so this is consumption,
inability to function)
long forgotten is my Alice,
is Laudie, even my Lynette.
There are numerous new reasons
for why I keep drinking.
(Who would ever make that presumption?
Could you prescribe such assumptions?)
Fall deeper and deeper,
like a boat on fire and sinking.
Combustible effervescence;
so easy to keep smoking.
So easy to keep burning yourself,
so easy to keep choking,
yet hard to forget the thoughts
that we've all been thinking.
(My money rapidly dying of consumption.
My thoughts now free from corruption.)
Pure at heart, yet not in mind.
