The First Song I Ever Wrote

I stepped through the portal
Naked and covered in blood in Poughkeepsie
The doctor told me “all ye who enter abandon all hope”
So I grabbed him by the stethoscope
I screamed “This must be the first verse of the first song I ever wrote”
And I am too stoned to drive these fucking kids home
Kiss me there’s a noose around my neck
We’ll fade into the Minimum Wage Sunset
Likе all we are are bastards of sad strangеrs having sex

I stepped through the portal
Through the yellow circles in her eyes
Hogtied in her trunk
Drunk and dreaming of auburn haired daughters
Somewhere in Nightmare, New York
Every moment must be a miracle
Death forever, life so dumb and short
The coke wasn’t this bad for sunrise to feel this sad
Kiss me like I’m all you got left
Like fingertips trace names of Vietnam Vets
Like all were are are bastards of sad strangers having sex
