The Singer's Naked

from Belt Avenue LP by Rudy Charisma

/

lyrics

the singer's naked
the singer's drunk
the singer thinks you're an asshole
the singer's pretty punk
rock singer's movin
the singer falls
the singer gets arrested
the cops cover up his balls
rock show's over
and the bars are closed
that's enough for tonight
it's time to go home
out on the street now
a car's on fire
the river's stinky
and i'm a liar
when i say it's alright
to go home with you
what would my girlfriend think?
what would your husband do?
we go to an after-hours, though
and proceed to get fucked-up
so i guess it's ok now
but i frown and smash my cup
into the wall there
right by the heads
of 2 naked singers
my good friends
they understand though
been done before
they turn away from me
while she and i walk out the door
into the street again
sky's almost blue
she likes good music
so i say i'm a singer too
we're at her place now
and it's ok
it's dirty enough for me
to trust her and say
yes, i'm a singer
and i like you
she says, ok, that's nice
now what you wanna do?
before i answer
the question's old
sounds of the morning
continue
and she just takes control
of my direction
of my hips
she sings
viscissitude, our great teacher
kissed with sour lips
how can i argue?
what's left to say?
i put the wine glass to my mouth
cause she's a better singer than me
