Annie-Dog
Amphetamine Annie-Dog
Has her leash & a face
Her velvet spleen, her shackle spine
Her diamond curse, it comes with mine
A vessel she, for violent I
Confession arms awake
Mine, mine, you were always mine
Possessed by my taste
And below the angel dog
Combs her hair & sings her psalms
The bombs go off, she doesn't notice
It all goes wrong, she sets things tragic
She is Venus, she is Mars
She's electric, & the struggle of
Upon my face we leave no trace
But in her stomach mercury aged
She holds the blood, she carves the knives
She digs the wives in our babies
Amphetamine Annie-Dog
Pulls her trash & her stories
From place to place, & bed to bed
Gives of herself & the magnet head
Another floor, another ceiling
Counting stairs with double meanings
Is it wrong to swallow whole?
To disappear in her?
To give her the priceless peace
Of giving up control?
We tumble out into the streets
And Annie-Dog, she drags her leash
Pretty face, ugly mouth
Bitter bred & so released
And by the no, & by the yes
Annie goes if you couldn't guess
A simple man, a sycophant
Her elephant with the laughing call
She wants clean sheets, & fresh flowers
And dental shots, & the Hong Kong glue
Amphetamine Annie-Dog
Has her leash & a face
