(get your) kicks

so at buca we get
the same waitress the first ex
and i had
on new year's
yeah the little hottie
with the cartoon-character
voice
god damn
the choices
on that menu
i almost get in trouble
because deep down you know
i'll never be any good
at knowing
what i want

but we skip desert
and head across town
to the castle
on a whim
just to laugh at the crazy
shit
for sale -
the bondage gear for
people who probably should
be tied up
(rest of us are safer)
and the brand new fetish
du jour
women tickling women
while two guys watch
dressed up as
priests
at least
this sex is safer
than what's probably going on
in a hundred different places
here on central
this night
still
if and when
daddy jesus comes back
i suspect most of us will get
the thrashing
of our pretty little
lives

wow
it's later
on this night
of the longest knives
than we thought
so we race back across the
river
route 66 neon a blur
in the rear view
who knew
there'd be an us
and so exquisite
a now
(too good to be good)
just begging
to to be messed up
like something too impossibly
beautiful
to be allowed
or
a crack
whore
in the desert sands
parking lot
standing on broken glass
shimmering like holy
relics

anyhow
back at your place
you ask all the right
questions
and i give all the wrong
answers
but none of that changes
the fact that i need you
tonight
white heat
white light
isn't enough to read by
but i can more than see and
making love is
groovy
so is dinner and movie but
sometimes a simple
fuck
is just what
the doctor ordered
on an antique cast
iron bed
with both our names smeared all
over it
