hey baby, let's
take a hit of this
a shot of that
and lets pretend we know
what life's about
cause we know best
when we know nothing
and the world's prettier
in swirls
and unreality
nothing like facing the truth
and turning your back

let's make out
like we mean it
plunge our tongues
down each other's throats
hands
down each other's pants
we'll both fake an orgasm
and tell each other lies
about how good it felt

let's talk about the future
like we have one
worth discussing
let's act like
we won't be living
at minimum wage
like we'll make it big
by doing nothing
maybe we can deal
maybe we can offer
this vacant stare
to other wasted children

maybe
if we screw our eyes
real tight
we can make believe
this isn't happening
that this isn't
another misspent youth
that you won't be
a burnt out junkie
and i won't be
a chainsmoking
single mother
of 5

cause we're young
we can stop
anytime we want to
we just don't want to yet
and we'll live forever
and the gutters
will never be cleaned
with the likes of us
cause we got dreams
and enough drugs
to keep us happy
forever






or at least
until
next
week








tomorrow never comes
when you're
dead
and
dreamless
