It's all heaven hot and idle
Cat calls and labour pains
Some memory survival
Flax seed and ancient grains
West of anywhere that I know
Pulse beating on the brain
Left my highness, how delightful
Passing on the outer lane
Was I blessed in lucky taverns
Or was I carrying a scent
Was I prince of vice and virtue
Or was I making my descent
Bless the ground that I curl up on
The sidewalk cracks and bends
And all the shoulders where my arms slung
Helped my soul and body mend
Well they pitched a hеavy hitter
And I struck out in the stars
My tell was ovеrwhelming
But I still kept close my cards
I hung with the queen of mercy
And we hopped among the bars
Until I ripped my jeans wide open
And let world in on my scars
I don't relish private moments
I'll cast my bruises under light
I don't wake up in the morning
I just fall out in the night
And if you love me keep me quiet
'Cause what I say and do ain't right
But I'll still muster through the madness
Like the glowing moon ain't bright
I thought I was the patron saint
Of lost things
But I was on the losing side of luck
And It cost things
Like the fringes of my sanity
And oh Christ, the humanity
What I loved and what I did believe
Got out of sight, dumbfounded me
And I stumbled out the kitchen door
With a book of poems, archaic lore
And found what I was searching for
Was nothing
I'm a lost thing
