Da's agin in the pen,
our pillows are unsoaked,
you stand there bereft,
if you think he's class,
consider him gone,
he'll never eat grass,
always first to the Den,
laughs at us dopes,
thinks he's the only one,
he won't be assed,
leaving you alone,
will just shoot more gas,
don't sit and pretend,
we want him back home,
whatever he's left,
on a chair bound fast,
holding a lover's phone,
won't care what happens,
you say we can help,
pray that we'll cope,
Ma you're a mess,
we splice our own rope.

You'd scream would you,
when she demands another loan,
talks of her bad news,
sunlight,water,sky,
you avoid that ocean boom,
God knows maybe she's right,
she shimmers down the avenue,
her daisy head is blown,
she paints us lemon blue,
howling jangles to the night,
we try to impose a curfew,
avoid the constant fights,
when she cries for truth,
you say she's not alone,
drains me just to argue,
what's worse is her rights,
says we've gone to ruin,
you, me, all our lives,
before asking for her due,
hunger reveals our don'ts,
leaves us here to stew,
she wants another home ?

Please don't moan,
I'll stifle my screams,
stay a rolling stone,
a knife to my throat,
you know how it's been,
what keeps me going,
I just want a throne,
to perch by the sea,
searching for love,
why dance on my ghosts,
no more a has been,
you like that the most,
when you don't come home,
is that what you mean,
if I butter the toast,
maybe you groan,
you once used to tease,
won't break my bones,
am not here to atone,
for your busted schemes,
neither to loan,
more of my dreams.

A cracked afternoon,
maybe offers some light,
makes me feel cool,
here in this game,
a race for your life,
it's who holds the reins,
don't act like a fool,
or try to be wise,
stop doing things you do,
if you're looking for gain,
heart thrums like a firefly,
let's look another way,
what makes it so cruel,
you're hurting inside,
being used like a mule,
if they ask the same,
try skimming the tides,
expose all their waste,
put on good shoes,
take a long train ride,
who needs to be ruled,
now you've chimed.

You're never a girl,
that curses and blasts,
your mind in a whirl,
face like a stone,
how you look your best,
too late to go home,
won't wear silken furls,
these men who want sex,
impassive as pearls,
they stalk you like ghosts,
prone to collapse,
can't face to be alone,
your hair doesn't curl
at what they ask,
their begging for a third,
you fling them a toast,
let them drink aghast,
forget what they like most,
say you cook with gas.

You can leave or show,
it's not too late,
if you want another home,
no need face the ruins,
worry about unkind fate,
you're no one's fool,
maybe a rolling stone,
kicks open a broken gate,
luck is when it rolls,
they'll arrive soon,
our family of escapes,
will mock all about you,
ask who you've cloned,
laugh at their stupid games,
what's your credit score,
don't mind their looks,
you're good for a loan,
refuse their Christian books,
play too cool to roam,
nothing else to state,
no knife at your throat,
love has a rebate.

Gone is the time,
i covered for you,
your Ma's the real crime,
why make it easy,
when she wants to intuit,
nothing will please,
clothes cashmere wine,
she spreads her false truth,
each step of the envy,
I don't do breezy,
why disguise the news,
she hates how I speak,
what you put aside,
she uses like a tool,
says it sharpens her mind,
shakes golden car keys,
uses you like her mule,
each day of your Odyssey,
I won't wait in line,
to witness her Blues,
I treated you fine,
who is the fool ?
