Ciggs and Coffee
Strung out on nicotine and caffeine
These meetings are obscene
Twisting the displays of these awful clichés
Hello my name is desperate
And I am an addict
I have one foot in yesterday
One in tomorrow
I guess I am pissing away today
I better watch my nuts
I won’t have to if I keep it simple
But I find that's not so easy
When these thoughts come so sleazy
Just like the steps, all twelve
I am stuck in between
Endless stars and orbiting satellites
So far from grounded
That these obscurities
Have become absurd to see
Caffeine and nicotine
Now feed the disease unseen
Thirst is never quenched
Just held at bay
While I cling to the last vestige of atmosphere
No I don't want a drink
Because I fear it will lead to the
Oxy
Next comes the mask by proxy
Then the living vicariously
Through a parasite
Called soulless individuality
So with that
I will keep coming back
These meetings are obscene
Twisting the displays of these awful clichés
Hello my name is desperate
And I am an addict
I have one foot in yesterday
One in tomorrow
I guess I am pissing away today
I better watch my nuts
I won’t have to if I keep it simple
But I find that's not so easy
When these thoughts come so sleazy
Just like the steps, all twelve
I am stuck in between
Endless stars and orbiting satellites
So far from grounded
That these obscurities
Have become absurd to see
Caffeine and nicotine
Now feed the disease unseen
Thirst is never quenched
Just held at bay
While I cling to the last vestige of atmosphere
No I don't want a drink

Next comes the mask by proxy
Then the living vicariously
