the new style

so your father asks...

what would you rather have Steven
a good bottle of vodka
or
a good book...

well, sir..that would depend on my mood...If Id spoken to your daughter that day, I would probably take the vodka...if I hadnt spoken to her, Id trade the book for more vodka...

...now showing...

I just smoked a bonglit
and now im feeling kinda tan
looking like fidel castro
driving a convertible sedan

every time I sit down
to start a conversation
a woman shows up
with a mouthful of degradation

I heard clearly
the posture of her threat
so I sipped on some rum
and told her where she could get

friends in higher places
had slipped me an advance
of the new radiohead album
and it killed my urge to dance

it didn’t help matters
or none that I could trust
that the cylinder of her thigh
took a chisel to my rust

Im 28 years old
and stand about 2 meters high
when asked about it later
it brought a tear directly to my eye

let not jump the gun
or off of the ship
not when I can attach
my right of passage to the cabinet of her hip

a bit full of myself
yes I know
but better my stories
than an order to go

Im sure you catch my drift
or you wouldn’t have stuck around
youd be sitting at the border
waiting for me to leave town
posthaste
it was not to be missed
when all the virgins checked their wallets
to see if I was on their list

I knew my tenures
as confidant
were already in foreclosure
earlier in the day
when I lost my panama hat
and forgot what I was gonna say

anyhow
the tendons are all pulled now
but the ice, it is very cold
and it doesn’t matter to anyone
if its blood
or if its gold

it doesn’t matter
to me either
it all came to pass
just in time for a breather
from the devils behind the glass
...

goddamn little fool, I love you like you
were my passport
why
do I do this
because id rather fail
and flounder
than sit on my hands
and bark like an old dog
