The sound of a scraping of glass
Makes you feel that you’re part of a chemistry set
It’s a bilk of the breath
On the nape of your neck
God, you’re a wreck!
Such an ethereal way to be mad
Only one so lucky can mourn the un-had
And it ain’t hard to tell
You been drinking the rail
God, you’re so frail!
How magnificent to share in a lack
You should’ve known that my boy would take after his old man
And he got gone
As soon as he had
The chance
If only it was so easy
To wipe off a sin
As it is for a life
That fits on the head of a pin
Frightly watching sacred light that streams across the table
Metal cold and serrated helps you un-motherable
