Just trying things on to see how they fit.
Bloodshot eyes cry tears of gin
A lover’s heart once more to win
His colorless face so painfully thin
Teeth brown and broken from tobacco resin
Seeping through the pores of his skin
A sickening odour from deep within
When up lifts his arm to inject heroin
A beautiful woman so familier walks in
Now full of lust and the ultimate sin
He lunges forward with a menacing grin
With a twist and a turn and one final spin
He lands face down on a bricklayer's pin
A visit the next day from his only next of kin
A note they find inside the wastebin
Fogive me my love, im a useless cretin
bury me please in a cardboard coffin
