I Drank Mushroom Tea
With Flannery
O’Connor in my past
Nightmares dreams of Scientists
The bones of Saints are cast
Seeing smelling everything
Knowing not what is next
Walking off to Canada
And wrapping up the rest
Virginia’s she's my company

The company’s been closed
The dark and dismal gallery
A lover’s Cold embrace
Isn't that a Hemingway?
Craving more than grace
The loins of feral savages
Just another sign
Lies and broken promises
Waking up to dine
Souls of all his followers
The Captain’s feeling cruel
He's been sleeping with his weaknesses
He's broken his last rule
A sandwich for the Magistrate
A knife for all the rest
A solemn dig for Abraham
A dark unwelcome guest

The horror show that's rarely seen
The smell of burning gasoline
The additive that keeps the motor clean

The cold embrace the siren call
Of guns & drugs & alcohol
The drunken slip before the fatal fall

The horror show that's rarely seen
The smell of burning gasoline
The additive that keeps the motor clean

The cold embrace the siren call
Of guns & drugs & alcohol
The drunken slip before the fatal fall
