Avenus Sans Pitie Poet Lyric

Ninnekah Smiles

Traffic's silent tonight 
Ninnekah smiles her Meth Head smile 
Tonight she's in a heavy disguise 
She looks at her wrist to clock the passing time 
Weather's mild tonight 
She wonders will they notice her tired eyes 
She wonders will her Adelita wigs survive 
And will they see she's going down a third time 
Everybody tries - She sees herself as JayLo on the mild 
But really she’s a Deathrow Rapist’s child 
Long ago perfecting a motionless slide 
For Fifteen years she put her future aside 
Ninnekah seems so sure and so poised 
She shimmers for the Urns on the shelf 
And says, "Love is for others, but me it destroys" 
She wasn’t the girl in the cake 
Got pregnant too soon by mistake 
Someone told her her brain was half baked 
And Ninnekah lifted her Texas Steel Reserve 
And said, "Cheers" 
She stands to one side 
There's no more to this than meets the eye 
Everybody drinks cheap generic Beer dry 
And talks about those plaid shirt and pink hair styles 
They said she did it - with grace 
They said she did it – with style 
They said she did them all 
Oh, they said before she died 
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh 
I remember Ninnekah Smiles 
Nobody saw her go 
They said they should have noticed 
'Cause her living conditions were so low 
Well, it only goes to show 
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! 
How many real men do any of them know 
She climbed the dining room chair 
Stood silent alone in the air 
Tied her lame belt around the plastic chandelier 
And went out kicking at the overly perfumed air 

Oh, oh 
They said she did it - with grace 
They said she did it - with style 
They said she did them all 
Oh? 
They said it before she died 
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh 
Now no one remembers Ninnekah Smiles
