I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed. 
Devoid of conviction, conflicted, annoyed. 
Kicked at and worn down, 6 6 6. 
Beat. Looking for the next quick fix. 
Unpopular prophets with problems 
Up against angels in disguise who want to rob them; 
Who didn't want to end up crushed by god?s embrace 
In the age of the cold wind blowing and dogs in space; 
Who's faces are fading. 
They're the loneliest drunk. 
In empty rooms haunted by Thelonious Monk. 
Felonious punks and plate glass squares 
That see empty eyes that look straight past theirs. 
Street walking cheetahs with a gun in each hand 
Who are lost at sea and are desperate to reach land. 
Orpheus descending. 
Swimming in the crooked waters. 
Hello Sid Vicious, goodbye Brooklyn Dodgers

No joke. Hit the low note. 
We all go to heaven in a little row boat. 

1957 Chevy Bel Air. 
Interior velvet especially. 
Bloody probably. Stereo, 
Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley. 
Black Flame Trilogy. 
Quadruple louder bass. 
Battle sites. Little Rock. 
Satellites in outer space 
Words won?t help but a few bucks can. 
Crew cuts and black leather. 
Ku Klux Klan. 
Men wear hats. 
In fact, harems are shared. 
Opiates addicted to and parents scared. 
The underground is real. 
Delivered greens to river queens. 
Perpetual motion of free-thinkers and libertines. 
Who suffer alone all night with pains 
Hooked on drums and who fight with chains. 
It?s Faulkner and Baldwin. 
Insult and curse reality. 
Spy vs. spy and the cult of personality. 
What can the numbers 
And the words in my head mean? 
Killroy was here 
And so was Buster Crab and Ed Gein. 

No joke. 
Hit the low note. 
We all go to heaven 
In a little row boat. 

The pen keeps moving 
In attempt to sink the jingoes. 
Fight ?em with hula hoops, 
Frisbee's and pink flamingos. 
Up running all night. 
Late sleep ordered. 
?Have gun will travel?. 
Great leap forward. 
Man on the corner 
With dark glasses free and preaching. 
Appetite is monstrous. 
Diet is Dionysian. 
All over the world, 
So much peril in one show. 

Playwright Arthur Miller 
Marries Marilyn Monroe. 
Hard rain falling.
Babies sleeping in God's palms. 
Alarm clocks ringing. 
Warrior monks and bomb squads. 
Invasion Of The Body Snatchers. 
Clairvoyants and mediums. 
Believers in nothing. 
Speed freaks and bohemians. 
Red is the new black. 
Identity files. 
Rebels and grand dragons. 
Obscenity trials. 
Lolita and Bobby Fisher country. 
No part is red, 
Just black and white. 
Humphrey Bogart is dead. 

No joke. 
Hit the low note. 
We all go to heaven in a little row boat.
