FIRST AND FOREMOST

Let's rob the liquor store
then walk all day
the scent of death
swirling in the air

do a lap or two
around that lap dancer
circumnavigate the moon
swing on a comet's tail

there should be more gaiety
in our hearts

the scent of earth
the scent of death
and yet 
spring is in the air

there should be more gaiety
there should be more courage
like the Italians singing
from their balconies
like the songbirds
calling from the trees

whistle past the graveyard
and rejoice
for in the midst of darkness
we have seen the light

man's sacred duty
defined at last...

first and foremost
it's about wiping your ass
