lyrics

You’ve got Dostoyevsky’s toothache
and Tom Traubert’s broken heart,
and you’re mumbling songs about some things
that you can’t run away from.
You’re pleadin’ that your liver hurts,
I tell you things will get much worse
‘cause you still see that ghost
down off of 9th and Acoma.

You love this little hell of your own making,
and write letters by the dozen addressed to anybody
who will love this little hell of your own making.
You write letters to St. Christopher
to help you find your way
to halcyon, so on the mescaline you’ll stay.
Was he slain on the streets of Denver,
or some Copenhagen jail?

You’ve got Dostoyevsky’s gambling debt
and lackluster signs of regret,
dissociate degrees in the ashtray.
You mouth words to strangers
on the C.M.E. to Aspen.
‘I begged you to stab me,’
like some Kafkaesque display
of halcyon, so on the mescaline you’ll stay.
Take one good last look into my eyes
and then bury the blade.
