drunk on the dark streets of some cityA

part of one of your shirtG

It's a clip joint the scotch is weakI
you order a bottle of beerJ
Madame Death walks up to youK
wearing a dressL
she sits down you buy her aM
beer she stinks of swamps pressesN
a leg against youK
the bar tender sneersO
you've got him worried he doesn'tP
know if you're a cop a killer aM
madman or anQ
IdiotR
you ask for a vodkaM
you pour the vodka into the top ofS
the beer bottleT
It's one a m In a dead cow worldU
you ask her how much for headV
drink everything down it tastesW
like machine oilX

you leave Madame Death thereY
you leave the sneering bartenderE
thereY

you have remembered whereY
your room isZ
the room with the full bottle ofS
wine on the dresserE
the room with the dance of theM
roachesZ
Perfection in the Star TurdV
where love diedV
