lyrics

when poetry is good to me words come so easily
when she's a bitch that same old itch still stings and burns
stings and burns inside of me
through scars and tears through waxy ears
through endless whiskeys, wines and beers
distorted by my jaundiced eye
bad memories and present fears
all skew all whiff all bluff no cliff
all hand no eye all full of spliff
no dice no games no crying shames
no rank no pack no drill no names

the one who all must praise still sings
and I must tell her many things
the one who all must praise still sings
and I must tell her many many many things

many many
many many many things
many many, many things

many many
many many many things
many many

when poetry is good to me words come so easily
when she's a bitch that same old itch
still stings and burns – stings and burns inside of me

many many
stings and burns inside of me
many many stings and burns

many many
stings and burns inside of me
mene mene
tekel upharsin
