HEROES CRAWL ABOUT

 

 

Heroes crawl about in

                            the night time

             and

       a deadly man

             watches me

                                   go insane

 

All over town are your rumors

                     putting me down

                and laying me

                             all around

 

but I still don’t understand

                      how you could

                be so God damned cruel

                                to me

 

My psychiatrist told me

                           not to climb

                  up any steep mountains

 

but I wasn’t

 

               about to listen

                            to her

                   

After getting out of bed

                               I turn on

                      the radio

                   and listen

                       to the news

 

                  (all bad)

 

Another night spent alone

                             I walked

                over the hills

and tried to get

                   out of Hell

 

                   and 30

                suicidal dreams

 

I took 7 aspirin from

                          a hooker’s purse

               and swallowed them

                  and got very sick

 

People always ask me about

                      why I’m always

            falling off steps

                   and tripping over

              the deadly railroad tracks

 

I get so depressed I had

                to go away

                          for a month

           until I found a kitten

                           under a tree

 

I asked you for your name

                   and you said

              I was just

                     a little boy

 

I spent several nights

                 crying in bed

            because you

                   wounded my pride

 

I had 3 joints one night

                      but someone

                 stole them

                        off of me

          and I was stuck

                       in a rut

 

Another vision deserted me

                    after leaving me

                in a drunken state

 

I cried out in pain

            I jumped into an alley

                      and below the city

             I tripped on a glass

                   and got hit

                           by a rat
