"Loser on Main Street"

By megaprime81

Down an' out
Hometown burnout
Drifting from place to place
How do you erase
40 years of disappointment
Without some sorta annointment
Salve, bleach, or ointment?

When I dared to dream
I was scarred
(I) awoke a retard
Fatally wounded,
I pulled the Death card
And it shattered m y brain
A lot like Cobain
Sing the busted refrain
If you ever come back again

I'm sending you back
I'm sending you back
'Cuz you ain't down
With the black
My present--what a present I got
Noothing but sewer-soul rot
You wouldn't be so whack
If only you'd stop smoking crack
You might be immortal
If you'll ente the portal
Ignoring where it goes

Join me on my journey
But please don't disappoint me
We belong not here
Yet we should occasion no fear
As we race for the door
With no care where it goes

Haven't heard "occasion" used as a verb in ages, well done MP! The ending left me a bit flat; wishing for more. An overall excellent effort with a catchy, if offbeat rhythm I enjoyed - you seem familiar? Cheers!
