Floating

rice burn 
and soak 
sun rise 
souls cry 
beg for mercy 
says the hot dog 
guy 

homeless collect beer heavy cans 

yards away rich collect 
fine wine 
Oh,
do they dine 

better wipe your face 

Oh baby 
get me high 
stroke my back,
dive into my plain 

Tuesday, 
nothing will change 

week by week
let my brain 
deplete 

I'm low on the food chain,
but he who starves 
will always eat
