Keep up now

Something to distract us from the milieu and ennui, keep up now cause you might miss it. Hoisting the jib and all that, whatever puts the wind in your sails, or the fire in your ass. Throw on a log cause it’s only gonna make the whole deal more dangerous, and that’s why were in it. Throw it together and jump on it a few times, give it a kick to see if it’s sturdy and we’re ready to go. It’s gonna be a doosy and that means all the racing and teeth gritting an old boy could ask for, this city’s got big shoulders but our legs are long and they’ll take us all over, night after night as we sail into the darkest and most turbulent waters. All for the song, all to watch and laugh at the absurdity of a ship set ablaze and sinking into fire’s foe. Wasn’t or ship anyway, we’ll get another, soon as the shows over

Steamy…

Took the scissors to my hair, swept up all the little spikes  

Shave and a haircut, hot shower. Used to be all a man needed to get a leg up

I like to roll a smoke after, my breath adding volume to the steam

A dirty reward, I leave the washroom smooth as silk.

If cleaning up were my job,

I could clean any place out
