No Closin' Time in Mexico
two LaBatts later I'm late Judy Garland in my
bleach splotched blue jeans
with a cheap pack of menthols and itchy
fingers
a dead ringer for Ava Gardner and Frank Sinatra's daughter
if they had
had
a daughter
I don't want water, no thanks
I don't want coffee, keep it
just lead me to the stage
'cause I've got nothin' to say
and everything to sing about
I'll take a whiskey and coke and one more smoke
if I spoke in a stage whisper you wouldn't believe me
I'm better received when I'm screaming
just LOOK at the LOVE you spilled
all over my red carpet!!!!!!!!!!@@###
