Romeo a Go-Go

Tonight I'm coming home in a coma if it fucking kills me

Listless but relieved, beaming like a newborn hostage

Orphaned by an ambulance

I got this new black eye just for you

Your hopeless romantic now hopelessly rheumatic

Poets grinding teeth to powder

All my vowels are getting lost in the gauze

Misinterpret courting for the cursing of a drooling fool

Here's to cheap sex and codeine in a hospital bed

And maybe I'd object, if I felt at all alive

Everybody is dying to lay down with you

I got the order all wrong, maybe have bumped my head

Maybe I should quiet down

Don't bet on another black out, I'll be all right

There's an army at my window waiting to lose this fight

I'm the king of this all night clinic

The fucking champion

Tonight we'll feast like royalty in traction

Happy and meticulous

There's a delicate love song in this

Kicked out and dripping in verse

Go get your gun 'cause God won't show

He sent a poet instead, the Don Quixote of the ICU

Quite impressive for a cripple

Munchausen by proxy of a muse

Tempt not a desperate man

Tempt not a desperate man

This split lip is for you

I traded it for an outdated tooth
