Goodbye Sober Day

Your lips say one thing

but the drugs say another

how can I massage

this inter-galactic ulcer?

Goodbye sober day

Hello milky way...

Pin my ear to the wisdom post

Hang me up and drain me dry

Mend my shipwrecked spirit

Lift the veil from my eyes

Goodbye sober day

The years grew wings and flew away

Ghosts of the past become barbarians

Of the future...

And I still pity you

Because what you said was true

Goodbye sober day

Hello milky way...

May your sun be blown out like a candle

May your sea burn like tar

May your sky be rolled up like a scroll

May your blue moon drip with blood

What would they say

If you went up in smoke?

If I dug you up

and made soup of your bones?

Goodbye sober day
