I've got a medicine cabinet
doubling as my bedside table
to where I'm able
to store my Bacardi white rum
in case I wake up

Glances from the others 
Tell her that she’s not.
Killer heels do just that
Lips a cupid bow
Drops her Prada handbag
Wrinkles start to show.

In the “share your feeling” room
And seeing you there everyday
Our friendship began to...

Old Havana it's been a long time
since I felt your love.
 Your warm oceans, and your beautiful skies

Truly truly high in the sky
These bars written softly 
Flow smooth like a lulaby
On the wings of a dove float on by.

Born with a metalic shield
The heart is the weapon but I didnt wield
Keepin it...

Twisted her neck like a soda cap 
The woods were silent

They used to flock here
Of a Sunday
For worship and prayer
Lost in a world 
Of private contemplation

Now they come
For that first Sunday pint
Praying for an end
To splitting headaches
And that endless ennui

The wafer and chalice,
God's own flesh...
