And tonight the look that branded me

Was like a pool of burnt out gasoline

Shiny brown skin like the melting tar

On a sticky summer road

Finger on the trigger

Words like bullets blast the brain

Nails a brittle edge of a breaking glass in a bar room brawl

Lay myself like a big jack rat

Limp and lazy on the sallow soaked floor

And now youre feeling sorry

Now Im shattered sad and worn out

Ragged raped of mind and soul

Empty like an ashtray

Damp and dirty grime and grease

A broken hearted effigy

A bone cracked cranium face frozen about you

The cheap wine that you drown the million little devils in your

brain

Stained your mouth and leaves a purple trail down heartache lane



To slash my sickly senses leaving me in my own hell

The silent sob of shaking shoulders as the candle drips and dies



Driving out the tear smeared figure that I used to know as you (you)



Your heel grinds out the cigarette stub you used to know as me

Take a sip out of the dirty glass that helps to glitter up your dirty

little life

Loneliness may eat me up

Keep determined to survive this time

And skin like cocaine numb and yellow cut with poisoned pain

Feel so shot and shocked and shattered and shamed

But the hero and the heroine

That scars and helps me mellow out again

And close my eyes in ecstasy of cleaning out the decaying crimes



That are sinking me in self pity

Meet my eyes in fired goodbye

Like a flick knife in the chest

And just a tiny touch of you

So dark and damned and easy

Hope fallen the prey

To a thousand use and abuse ems

For I know that in the end the poison darts of hate

Will eat you up and will rise up

From the oily sea of my waxy lazy gloom

And stick the final pin t
