(The man asked for 5 dollars, and his eyes...)

I already died once
Waiting for my father
To come up the steps and play Legos
He built me a ship once
And it still flies in my imagination
After

Five decades
Losing every dime at the table
I had to!
And, swallowing it down
With Gin and tonic
Whiskey and Vodka
Lines in the bathroom
Girls that never came home with me
Not even once.

Nick Cave knows all about it
Waiting, believing
That will suit me just fine
Ill curl up just like this
And let the cold air blow
Right in
I already died
Another hundred times after
The first
I can do it again
So slow
Ill set a record

So don’t you dare come around here
With your sweet smile
And try to stop me
I’ll turn my eyes down to the concrete
Then over to the horizon
Glaring between the buildings
Rising up at the ends of the streets
That’s my home now
I’ll just dance there
With all the girls
You ever saw
They’re real beauties
Over there
And sweet too
Somebody better write this shit down

Of course, sir. Good luck.
