Midnight Stuper
Man on the bongos, play me a song
That I can ship shap shatter to in the blue moon
Of my midnight heart.
Feel the vibration of my hips and tie ropes
Around my legs because I might tap a bit
Too much for any cats around.
Fill me up. Bottle tips up. Drink it down
And drown me in my sorrow
With a smoke of victory on death’s part.
Hey man on the bongos! Give me a beat,
For my soul has a speech on high and it will
Come out at godspeed.
My tongue dances around my teeth and
Makes my gum bleed with passion
And unfulfilled desire.
Glass down. Booze goes down. I shoot up
With firecracker vocals shooting biz bang crash
In the midnight sky.
Oh bongo man, you are the god of my night,
With hands like sandpaper that shape
Me up and feel me out.
My aching heart will wake up with morning sadness,
But I met my god on the corner of Market
And he held all my pain.
Pitter, patter. Medicine down, life up
Sitting on the table of drunkenness,
And yet I still can’t sleep.
