This could be considered an
ordinary shake down of salt
That's why Betty couldn't pay the rent,
now she wears that little pink dress
It's not like there was ever any solitude
Her night is the racket of rocking cars
'squeak, squeak' goes the love, all over the windshield
Betty was never a really pretty girl, but my oh my
did she have a beautiful mouth
and when it closed around you,
oh you could all but swim in those lips
But the rain came down like pepper when it flooded the car
The radiator broke
That's why Betty couldn't pay the rent,
now she wears that little pink dress
A black ribbon to match her hollowed eyes
colorblind in her sunburnt hair
Saddness radiates off her like nuclear waste
the chemicals of her lore
the chemicals in her little pink dress
Cotton blends so her lizard skin can breathe
Tastes so sweet,
the mustard of her nicotine fingernails
scratching deep as she takes your order
Leave a nice tip,
so Betty can pay the rent next month.
