Again Forever

Everything’s looking good

Like you were hoping it would

The mood is set but you need to get

Another drink just in case

Tipsy and ticking with your blood shot nose

Having two of that and one of those

Spending your time having all this fun

Underwear is stuck right up in your bum

But you sit there and lounge about

With a smile on your face and a sensual pout

And you’re trying to take stock

Figuring out the odds of getting fucked

And while you think you have another drink

And the idiot smile gets worse

Like your brain’s in reverse

And when you talk you realise

That you’re losing the plot

Faster than a soap opera story line

So you turn and look in the mirror behind the bar

And even though it is quite far

You think you see a piece of snot

Sticking out on a nostril hair

And you were wishing you had a place where

You could stick your head

But instead you have another drink

And your capacity to think

Takes another blow

When your ex girlfriend walks in looking good

And you realise that you should

Have been someone else’s problem

All along, all alone on your own

And you thought it was because of them

You believed you were such a gem

A treasure to find in an ugly place

But the shit in your head still defines that space

And all you ever were and all you are

And everything that you will be

Will amount to nothing more than another round

Just one more drink because no-one else is around

After you bored them to death

And forced them to endure your breath

You are still surprised that you’re alone

Again forever, if only you had never

Pickled your liver or fried your brain

You still believe you have nothing to gain

By being more of you and less of that

Which you claim to despise

As you lower your eyes and your head

Trying to deal with the dread

And hopeless gloom and doom

That is you staff and your light

As you venture forth each night.
