Belamite Howling At the Moon

Belamite Howling at the Moon

A belamite sat drinking 
In a bar
On the dangerous left side 
Of the city of Angels
By the rail road tracks 

In the dark dangerous part of town
Where the police fear to tread
And the tourists never came 

Twenty drinks too sober

The belamite drank
His way to hell
One bourbon, one scotch
And one beer

Drinking alone

With his buddies 
Jack Daniels, Jim Beam, old grand dad
Mr. Bullit, Jonny Walker 

He looked up 
At the naked lady
Dancing with an attitude
That could kill an elephant 
In heat 

He stumbles out
Looks at the blood red blue moon
And begins howling  at the moon
Liked an escaped banshee 
From the depths of hell

The other drunken inmates 
From that bar of evilness 
Joined him in howling 
at the rabbit in the moon
