Translating life threw an empty wine bottle Putting it all into words that collide and fall out And spill all over the page Ground-out cigarette buts and a newly lite one The 'click click' of the type writer It's sounding more like a loaded gun Only one more 'Bing' until the triggers set off Because I can't keep up this craft much longer A useless pilot, slept threw class But passed with honors I'll be crashing now, ditching out I suggest you all follow I hear them yell 'no!' I know this waters cold Can't find the plug To break this frigged flow Better off tomorrow when the sun shines To dive down deep and gather dimes Slip them in the slot to give us more time Until the clock runs out The curtains draw across of my eyes Shut, you're drowning out the violence From the stick up kids, who used to play the violins Traded in for prescriptions, please Make me normal Saint MD Or at least give me something I could use To make a little cash on those streets The ones I kick it on at night But I think I hit it to hard I think I blew out the light
