The livingroom lit by drunken dancers
on the parquet.
They are crumpled wrappers with cherry

The finest brand of best friends.

Flipping hair in the smoky air,

Cigarette fog in
my nervous system,

Sing sing,
The carpet with its metallic luster I will dive into it's furs,
Party monsters.

Dr. Pepper, is it bed time?
I'm not sleepy.
I'm not sleepy.
4am on the floor.
Hiccup.
