Ain't Love a Drag
I watch you rolling a joint
I get to thinking
A little dope would be real cool
You give me a long squint look
I know pretty soon we're gonna be real stoned
And of course I mind.
Especially when I'm
Sinking in my heart
But strife don't snickery-snack
Down the hate-mind tract
It drives the shuttle and it rides the BART.
You say you hope I'm not so rash
To make you feel obliged
To go digging through your stash
With a pained look in your eye
You light the bong hit twice
Cut up some photographs.
Anarchists'dinner one more time
Have ourselves an evening of whines
And a couple of laughs.
When first we smoked
I got so high
I couldn't sleep
I found speed a gift
I thought yours was mine
And something
That I could keep.
This is really missed
Lime is not the
Only vodka twist
A gram in the hand
Is never quite so bland
As the fires of love
And the women I've kissed
So I hope I'm not so rash
To make you feel obliged
To go digging through your stash
With a pained look in your eye
I accepted the bong hit twice
Pasted up the photographs
Threw up dinner one more time
Had myself a bottle of wine
And a couple of Pabsts.
Just the other day
I hung your picture on the nail
I've been looking for you
It's been so long
I've been wanting a gram that'll never fail
Would it be that great?
Gee, I'd like to make myself the fool
But that's never ok,
I just want to say
I'm not a peace
I want to go out cruel.
But ain't love a drag?
Just when I get to
Thinking that I'm really stoned
I get me a long clear thought
It's kind of a brook
I gotta cross on my own
But I'm outa my mind.
Especially when I'm
Waiting on the BART
But trains don't lie in the street
Like a drunken deadbeat
They brake to slow
And then they ding! when they start.
And I know I'm not too rash
To make you feel obliged
To go digging through your stash
With a weird look in your eye
You offer the bong hit twice
Spray-paint some photographs
Cook me dinner one more time
Have ourselves a couple of wines
And a barrel of laughs
For isn't it kind?
