Baptized in beer

I thought you were dead
on the floor by the door
until I saw your body move
so your head could stare at me
A cockroach without wings
So much like me.....
I couldn't kill you
so ugly and crippled and sad
So much like me.....
I let you live as I set down my beer
crippled and living in fear.....
staring at me.....
Unmoving as I approached
disturbing disgusting cockroach
I'll let you be and live free
as I go to the  bathroom to pee....
        You're so much like me baby
You and me.......
When I return you're gone
with nothing left to dwell upon
So much like me.....
I bring the beer to to my lips
to kiss your body with your suicidal sips
my beautiful cockroach
floating there in the cup
----So much like me......
Dead and drowned without fear
Baptized in beer
