Umm.. the 3rd verse needs work, I know, but if you're curious i'm referring to Jack Kerouac in the third verse. Yeah any criticism would be appreciated.

shes got stocking ups to her neck
around her pale neck
tangled with mentions of night
dress an antique mess
cigarette imprints on her breast
tripping on bennies
graze of an unfamiliar hand


deliver another to the oven
bury the body in the back
retort into vase
deliver another to the oven
1800 barely a scold
skin too thick to cook
extrication in the oven


gutter babies take heroine
overdose at ten
sewer youth grasping again for
blind dancing needles
lick the pavement one more time
junkie sweet scrap dream
shoot it up love, sweat it out love

deliver another to the oven
bury the body in the back
retort into vase
deliver another to the oven
1800 barely a scold
skin too thick to cook
extrication in the oven

beaten jack will suffer the mad
light drowning again
sopped in ethenol again
sweet relief blue eyes
haikus and pills aren't purity
pretentious useless
and another lost artist dead

deliver another to the oven
bury the body in the back
retort into vase
deliver another to the oven
1800 barely a scold
skin too thick to cook
extrication in the oven
