King Of The Delta Blues
The Gorgeous

Their bones break where their hearts cannot.nThe heads are going to roll until I want them to stop.nI'll be there with bells on, just name the state.nIt'll have to be underground 'cause God ain't up this late.nTheir bones are breaking 'cause they're weary and aching.nThe axes are falling until they're dull or they're breaking.nI'll be there for you, but can we set us a date.nI swear I love you, I swear by Christ,nIt's your father that I hate.nLying to you never gets to me, nBecause getting caught is what keeps me so honest.nI might be the king of the delta blues.nI sold my soul to write this for you, get on your back.nIs this really how you like to fuck?nFace down, ass up?nTrade it pound for pound,nTrade it quart for quart,nTrading lust for love is like trading wine for port.nWhite-collar floozy's got the blue-collar blues.nMore skeletons than closets andnI still have more skin than tattoos.nIce where it's bruised, swelled,nRub out the bedsores.nTo the face that launches thousands of ships,nI miss you more than ignorance is bliss.nMore then I let on with my kiss.nMore then you'd ever care to be missed.nToday a sister lost her sister,nA son, his fucking mother.nMore than this.nFuck this.
