Pray to the sun

   to drive 

us mad crazy

   stubborn stupid

    infantile 

  eating chili dogs 

      and getting suckered

  again

   puttin' on a show

while the dark side rakes it in

  and and and

over and over and over

 down the red road

    spying on 

silk alligators

    crying in the champagne

    Paris 20's 

  Le Dome

    that is gone but 

  now we have Nazis 

  again

     cheerleaders

    and crayfish

      Bottles of 7up

    catch the immigrant!

    feed the anger

      Chipotle promises

not to raise prices for 

   Proud Boys

    Fire the Veteran!

  what have you done for us lately!

    It's all gonna come down 

  On his stupid head

   Call Magua 

  we need some Huron 

   energy up in here

 

 

 sittin' greasy

    grey greedy

 like Natty

    Bumpo

  Nymphs

  in Bumpus Hell

Mt. Lassen 

   smells like sulfur

  Achievers

   On the path

  to sharp glass rocks for miles

  I don't know

 Grey skies

in March

   I got an orange lighter

burn it down

  swamp rat

        go book shopping

             North Beach

          Trieste

      go thrifting

       in Manteca 

       get stoned and eat junk food

      Buy a perfect polyester seersucker 

   try it on for size

   Wear it 

try it

  run down 

  my leg stopped throbbing 

    But it's cold out

 blues playing this am

sunlight shining reflecting 

in my eyes

stop your train

don't you hear me cry

Awhooo

 I woke up 

  and my

Leg

   was throbbing

FUCK

   type 2 diabetes 

are they going to cut my leg off?

Gahd I hope not!

  A1c at 10

  not good

La Dee da

 Sky blue 

    today

what was that?

   oh the garbage man 

  in the alley

someone is painting curbs red

  but they're so obviously not official 

like odd spray paint

  I asked the store owner

he said he had no idea

  and I believe him 

 Say wicked

  say whiner

say hero

  say Sawtooth Mountains

  say my leg hurts

    say hiking boots

  say poorly cooked rainbow trout

dog wouldn't eat it

  turned up his nose

do dogs eat fish?

he's not a cat, dumbass!

   bumpy road past the reservoir

I really just wanted a cigarette 

  But that's how it goes

 

 Don't try the greasy fries

  or eat kale

 and other anti-inflammatory 

   like walnuts

   I'm trying okay

 it's not easy

  being alive

  but it's all about 

    how you play the cards you're dealt

  but it's hard to bluff when they're holding

 a royal flush 

 and you live in Sparks

 Grease Monkey Crybaby 

    Scheming yer bastard lies

but it's just a $5 table

  have a Tareyton 100

   and another Schlitz

  and keep yer head down

   It's cold outside

    and god knows where your wife is

  she ain't here

  that was last week

    she said not to tell you

so I guess I screwed up

 Greasy War Zone

  I'm a left wing cadaver

  but it doesn't matter

   Rubber and eggs

    Sail toward the Midwest

      be a correspondent 

for St.Louis

travel on

     drink red wine

      in hell but

 keep your guard 

    With a 9 MM

     in your briefcase 

 next to the Tylenol 

  

  

 a greasy idea in heaven 

a million 

don't say it

   perturbed by ideas

    dens of what have you

    Nah you arent being right

      You JUMPED in the pool

         you sly dog 

            with faded overalls

    reaching for the light

  It only took a million years

so what

  wash your jeans

     get right 

    

 

 Greasy Pies of Marmalade 

  unescorted by the horses of the past

     what rhymes in breakfast draws

        A fine white line

 leading to encebollada

  with corn tortillas and 

 strong margaritas on a chilly saturday in the old Mission

  people seem happy 

      to be out  

      to be seen

      and to see

   to laugh

      and to joke with friends

    on the sidewalk

   "Is that where the Phoenix was?"

   "I liked peeing there"

   "I threw up near the Mobil ATT store right there once"

 Greasy skies 99

Say the whatnot

   grab your past

   Like A thousand wishes

    dream on

      dream on

    we are the wild animals

     dream on

   dream on

say the piggies the boars the feral pigs

    dream on

   dream on

     Time is not ours

     but it's all we've got 

  let's just forget it 

    and have some fun

once in a while

  

 

 greasy sleep web

tried and blued

    Scene foretold

  my eyes are sparkling

    I was actually in a Ninja Japanese bar 

  last night
