My company- Just misfits and music . The dope shadow wretched . The beautiful local country. Home sweet home. Good night, everybody. Reached for a shot. The killing relief. Miles away….. feeling damn great. Thinking…. I wrote this shit. No good girl, I’ll do all you deserve- You deserve what you get. We snort. The deviated drain. This bastard alive- the girls sucking away Call anytime. A room with no doors waiting for you so plain. Nodded on brown; she donned a sleeveless gown. “Where you goin’?” She said.,- To the bad side of town. We make love. Who cares? Kiss you tomorrow Panties laid around. Ignore the view. Consumed by the sorrow. On the sofa asleep. A gun in my hand. You’re looking for a hero- But I’m only a man. Sweetheart, take cover Or at least close your eyes; Wouldn’t want you to see me in this here Bic light. When I called you my lover It was only a night. Right then I discovered I’m alone in this life Tennessee woman, I’m your rambling man Coming in like a storm; think I’ll keep ramblin’. Downtown, I saw you standing Under a street light, in the neons a-flashing. Hanging around, for some after-hour Romeo. I said let’s find a spot And get off While the getting’s good. The rundown apartment. Where I hang my head. Don’t usually keep company. So excuse the mess. Angel let me take off your halo, slip it around your throat and choke you Pluck your wings So you can’t fly away. My heaven’s hiding Just between your legs. I said I love you But I don’t remember at all. I gave you my number, but you never call. Sleaze bag. Slow drag. Dime bag. Cum rag. Had our dirty romance. Baby, let’s skip the dinner and the dance And get to what we both know we’re here for: Tie me off baby and lock up the door. Sweetheart, take cover Or at least close your eyes Wouldn’t want you to see me in this here Bic light; When I called you, my lover It was only a night. Right then I discovered I’m alone in this life. Tennessee woman, I’m your ramblin’ Man. Comin’ in like a storm- think I’ll keep ramblin’. I know I’ve been lonely,Where have you been? My one and only- again and again. We trip on acid, and joyride o’er the streets. I eat your pussy , the color of peach. This scumbag needs something real to fill a void. I get drunk and excited; hang out make some noise. Don’t try to hide it, the way that I am. Hellhound, I ride it Held down, I don’t give a damn. Stick to my guns. Burned up in the sun. Carving my own. Early tombstone. (Bukowski’d be proud Of how much I can drink now.) Made it home last night, but don’t ask me how. I don’t mean to ruin the surprise- But I’ll be surprised if I wait to see another daylight. Don’t mean to blow my load too soon. I get rambunctious and howl at the moon. Shards of dope, jagged Run my veins ragged, Making my way to my doom. South of the smoke clouds, I am burning down here. A hell some would hate, the Devil‘s company, my fate, but I’ll be all right You can leave me here, longing in the morning’s first light. Regret is a whore- I’ve got my arm around her For now, she’s an angel, but tomorrow I’m not so sure. A vision so blurred. My eyes all bloodshot. The travesties that occurred… My rotgut. Boot cut. Gutter slut. Head fuck.. Big city meltdown- got everyone scared. I drink away my worries; ain’t in a hurry; Half-assed, unprepared. Don’t give a damn. Not one. Lowdown broke down, shame. I’m looking down on your grave, My heart is still a slave to that one. To know she’ll never know How I loved her so…. Come back, lost spirit, and shine on in me. Give me the courage to fall back to sleep. I dream of your lips, your tiny pink slit- And how we went down in a heap. Sweetheart, take cover Or at least close your eyes Wouldn’t want you to see me In this here fearsome Bic light When I called you, my lover It was only a night. Right then I discovered- I’m alone in this life. Tennessee woman, I’m your rambling man. Coming in like a storm; Think I’ll keep ramblin’.
