you can take the cat out of the jungle

i was shootin craps
with hipster jesus all night last night
we ran the heater out of kerosene
wasted every minute we had on our burners
lookin for methadone
talkin tits
and who's got a better beard

it's the crematorium
the shovel
it's getting somebody to wash your back
to prevent infection
in the future stab wound

he wishes he could divorce his dad
i wish i had mine back
cigarettes were for sure satan
but he sure as hell is gonna claim the thunderstorm

if i had a daughter right now
i would definitely name her
rain
cuz that means shit is really comin down

now

a lil instructional tidbit
of text
on the topic of love
throw shit against the wall
see if it sticks

what does your ol lady got runnin through her head?
when she wakes every morning
to find her man
tossing ink and tears
into some stupid notebook
drinking and cleaning his guns
a tv dinner that has'nt been touched
an ash tray full off cigarettes
 with ashes so long you know they have been barely even smoked
best case scenario
she makes coffee

gonna shatter all my crack pipes today
douse them with hand sanitizer
toss in a few pics of lost love
and letters calling me a loser
it's catastrophic
melancholy
allah and the temp service

re grease my hair
tighten the wave cap
get a new tattoo
or have a couple removed

time to hit the streets
