Early Mornin', Dirty River

By Moonflower

I have the blinds closed cause

its early

in the mornin

and I have some weed to smoke

with Alanis

screaming at me

Through the radio

And theres a dead bird

outside my window

yeah I can smell it rotting

when I open up the door

So I light a cigarrette and just

inhale some more

Toxic Waste

that odor burning on my tongue

but cigarettes are all
I taste

Yeah I guess my yellow teeth

and baggy eyes

Look at you

reflecting my

inevitable demise

As I'm coughing up my

lungs and liver

Early Mornin', Dirty River

Your empty heart

can't say forever

why did ya wanna

get together

yeah darlin' if it

ain't forever
