lick lick lick lick lick lick lick lick lick lick lick lick lick

I wish I could stop being a menace and going
out to the ATM, stealing money and feeling like
a vandal only I don't feel like a vandal I
just know that I am. I do not feel as though
I went to the center of your world
and took a shit
I just know that I have. Like a middle letter in the alphabet
one that isn't used too often and is derived
from something slavic, something hard against the teeth
will you ever forgive me?
I only have the courage to ask when I am in
my drinking shirt and my makeup,
baby girl you shold know I forgot to ask you to put your foot
into my stirrup and kick me as hard as you could
in the flank, click your tongue for me
so I'd be reminded to trot, to canter
will you ever forgive me?
All us addicts are the same. It shouldn't surprise you.
What I do to try and continue grazing alone and fat
shouldn't surprise you.

I feel like I'm ready to be shoed.
Have some nails driven into me, putting me to metal
maybe keeping the calcium from
growing too long but when I see you come
from the shoddy barn with the halter
I put my hindquarters to use and kick at your good skin
and eat a baby's fingers
what was that last line it doesn't matter
I'm just your ordinary drunk
who says the words to get you out of the way
will you ever ever ever forgive me?
Don't listen to a goddamn thing I have to say
because if you do, and understand al all
then
god rest you, rest you. You were always too young
for this like I was.
But am not anymore.

And someday you won't be too young

how dissapointing.
