We're cool
  we're hip
  we're writing everything
  you wish you'd been doing
  all along. We live in attics
  and drink cheap beer and wear
  clothes of the proletariat.
  we smoke anything, defy death.
  We're the Beats back again.

harvests can be bountiful
    they can be wanting
    I've known you both ways
    and I know elegance no matter
    always a pleasure when we dance in
    ballrooms or barns or not at all.
    One of us will kiss the other's hand
    goodbye in a casket then dance alone.

Death be certain.
    Death be kind.
    Death be easy.
    Death be blind.

  Carry a soul if one there be
  and put it to rest where I
  never know the joys of life.
  I never know life's sorrows.

    Death be eternal.
    Death be dark.
    Death be forgiven.
    Death be forgotten.

It's gonna' be a dark lonely
  Sunday alone in Motel 6 with
  the queen who owns my soul.
  We met in the war overseas.
  I brought my darling home.
  She quiets noise, calms nerves,
  fills my empty space awhile.
  We'll marry when I overdose.

The clock scratches its way to 11 pm.
I'm deep in my cups and celebrate.
I'll wander into bed and dream of the
lovers and enemies I slayed in their time.

I see everything in black and white.
Black man, white man, shades of grey
spells the end, my friend. I always
loved you and I'll miss us gone.
We crossed the color divide and
God ****** died for it.

There's a calm in chaos
  silence while the world
  fades and clarity of
  reason in madness.
  "There's more good than
  bad in this one", is the
  best they can say over
  this bleeding out corpse.
