Affliction
-AFFLICTION-
My poverty drove a Ferrari
My monkey rode a horse
Bad luck was hitch-hiking
Overtaken by a Porschè
Slamdunk my face with dishes in the sink
Screamed so loud at nothing pulling faces in the dark
Walking with a white cane
Talking with The White Man
Unseen, unheard, so I did not have to think
Obscene, blackbird ,singing like a lark
Broken semi quaver
Swimming in the river
Reasoning with know-alls
Confusion is an eight ball
What youre not going tell the man
Is the something you can not say
Plastic horses returning on a rotating carousel
My transgressions stay in rehab
My anger burns in hell
Bland stupidity clings to me
O hear that urgent summons!
Tolling in the valley
Such a sacrificial bell
