arrogance

  
your tough demeanor said it all
lady you can look but don't touch my soul  
it cut me you know?  
it cuts because it's you  
   
I know there is a chasm between us  
one I can't cross  
it's full of women and booze    
piss and too much fucking  
that way of living wears you down  
but not you  
you're brass balls  
and you own your arrogance  
after all you worked damn hard to get where you are  
   
you could have anyone  
but even the most sophisticated woman gets to you in time  
it's the ladies isn't it?  
they cling too tightly and it turns you off  
even the whores fall for you  
a night with you and they are ruined for their profession  
you get them off like no other  
Jane's knew addiction  
   
you are raucous laughter at dawn  
glaring at  your demons  
you beat the night back  
riding a woman into hell  
where you'll leave her with no way back  
and no one to tell
