EVERYTHING IS WRONG

I’m standing naked in the rain Playing backgammon with Death again I see some flowers going mouldy on the shelf And then I cry so hard I look as though I’ve wet myself Sometimes I feel like I could kick my own head in But I don’t think it would actually help All hope has gone My life’s a con Everything is wrong My life is like a stormy sea It makes me vomit incessantly A marbled hand emerges slowly from the lake And slaps me sharply round the ribs Until my kidneys ache I’d carry on if there was Something worth living for But even if there was, I’d still moan Death bangs his gong The bells go dong Everything is wrong Sometimes I wish I was a senseless animal Grazing meekly in the shade of the vale But if I was I’d be the seven-headed dog Who splits open when he chases his tail I knelt and I began to pray That all this emptiness and doubt Would go away And then the cherubim and seraphim Came down from up above Saying, “Do you know Where we can get some drugs?” Then they all disappeared Death bangs his drum Parrum-pum-pum Everything is wrong
