O Righteous Me

Whores of Babylon, I breathe amongst you everyday 
 On city streets, in country lanes, along lone alleyways 
  Selling illegal merchandise, cheap, tainted, unrefined 
 Tempting this incognito angel, back into my own kind 

  Dens of iniquity, hedonistic programs, carnal pleasure 
 Take me to your pimp, I’ve got a wallet full of treasure 
  Bring good gear, Snow White, not crude crystal meth
 Tonight I’m getting wasted, to within one inch of death 

  Seedy massage parlors, proffering rubdowns, with oils
 This upstanding citizen, on tables of unembellished soil
  Licking toads back, my penchant, as I pray to the gods
 Yapping like a puppy, choke chained, spanked with rods

  Cesspools of assignation, motel rooms, knocking shops
 Gonna keep banging up, til my veins collapse from shock 
  Tomorrow chase the dragon, before addressing a church
 Sermons of fire and brimstone, damning you, is my purge.
