Another Dirty Needle
"I love you.
I want to leave my wife for you
and buy you bright and shining rings;
take you from all these evil things"
I said, I said in my three piece suit
in the basement floor,
at the church of St. Eleanor.
"You love me. I see it
in your eyes. My saved soul
won't be denied.
I'll get clean- Rid my veins
of these dirty highs."
She said, she said and put her bible down
and looked at me like a Lord.
The aura of a dirty crown
She's sleeping naked in her bed
lying so very, very still
a graceful work of art that only she can kill.
Dreaming of the riches in her new life.
I'm the diamond handle
but she is the knife
You think you are broken?
I can brake you more.
So many of you little girls
you spill from rehab doors.
It's a pattern that I copy
I just pluck them like a poppy
by the time that they've caught
I'll be bored.
No dirty love they'll deny.
No scratch that they won't itch.
I'm not married. I'm not rich.
I'm just a better high.
