Postcard

always picked last    
for sports and friends    
the die was cast    
would it ever end?    
   
then one day, he chose    
hopped on a bus    
of what arose    
one hundred bucks    
and a guitar    
all his dreams now    
didn't seem far.    
   
he sent a postcard    
home from Radio City    
all is well when the living's not hard    
to make his first million    
a distinct possibility    
and still on mom's fireplace    
sits the postcard.
   
   
from a New York penthouse    
he talks on the phone    
bookings and managers    
he made it, after all    
still sends the odd card home    
while he pops his aderall    
and gin and coke.    
   
he sent a postcard    
home from Radio City    
all is well when the living's not hard    
to make his first million    
a distinct possibility    
and still on mom's fireplace    
sits the postcard.
   
   
(MUSIC BREAK)    
 
the music died one day    
in the town he was to play    
a bottle of gin by his side    
and a pill bottle, prescribed    
the postcard sent home    
now was him, in a box with chrome.    
   
he sent a postcard    
home from Radio City    
all is well when the living's not hard    
to make his first million    
a distinct possibility    
and still on mom's fireplace    
sits the postcard.
