Poise

Some nights we got too high to fall asleep
 These nights we went Stark Raving
 Star gazing like Carl Sagan
 We screamed at the moon
 Then eclipsed it with a spoon
 Bob Dylan style
 Young and wild but still so unenthused
 I think we're Stark Raving
 The walls inhaled and exhaled to the rhythm of our sleepless hearts
 Pulsating like a distant drum, like an 808
 They palpitate to a beat we couldn't calculate
 Our friends changed as our tea got cold
 We danced with wolves in sheepskin coats
 These nights we went Stark Raving
 I became nocturnal and started keeping a journal
 Your cigarette bounced between your lips
 Like someone with no hands using a pen
 What would you be writing me then?
 All the bites on my skin
 From the bed bugs
 I get a head rush
 Every time that I think about it
 So drink about it
 Smoke about it
 Spoke about it
 With your friend but she just don't know you how I
 Know you and that's the part about it
 Sad enough, I've saddled up this stallion of nostalgia
 Hya!
 Release the hounds!
 Fell them breathing down your back
 Breeding ground for bacteria
 And I screamed so loud I left ears from miles around hearing it
 Me? I had my coattails on, her coke nails long
 It reached around my neck piercing it
 Right into my vocal chords
 Roadkill shawls
 Made from a jack russell terrier
 Feel the cold blade to your calf muscle area
 In my old age I'm a bad judge of character
 Captain America, flying quicker than a Boeing jet
 Bunny slippers, bloody fingers
 Flipping through a rolodex feelings all just coalesce
 With each other, bounty hunter, kill 'em like I'm Boba Fett
 Bobbing to the same damn rhythm
 We're just brain dead, plain red, grain fed chickens BOKOK!
 We're moths eating through fabric
 We're creatures of habit
 We creak in the attic
 That evil inhabits
 We're little lab rats
 In a labyrinth
 So elaborate
 You said you'd bring Sgt. Pepper if you were ever stuck on an island
 Well I'd just bring a blank disc, sit and listen to silence
 Baby get down from there
 Jump
 Baby get down from there
 Jump
 Baby get down from there
 Jump
 Baby get down
