The Art of Obsession and Loss

I live for obsession
Sometimes it's a mess
Can't resist the needle
Expensive fantasies
Vodka from the Ukraine
Drinking that stuff like water
Now wonder I'm always in trouble

Obsession is an art
Abstraction works best
Then you don't have to explain yourself
Realism will bring you down fast
You try to avoid
Like the deer
Glare of the headlights
Close calls

I'm a repeat offender
No excuses
No fault love loss
I take my bruises
Give them back too
You play you pay
Lone rider traveling town to town
She's waiting, crooked smile looking fine
