lyrics

You are my guardian demon
In some strange way
She said you’re wrong for the world
But right for me

Wasted words
Wasted
Wasted words are wasted

Wreck, defy
Lucky cans behind the legion
(on a six band bill)
Used condom bookmark
Left in a bible
In Keith’s apartment

Wasted words, wasted
Wasted words are
Wasted

You drunken tottering bum by Christ in spite of all your filth and sordidness I envy you
It is the very face of love itself abandoned in that powerless committal to despair*

You are my guardian demon
In some strange way

* - From the William Carlos Williams poem, "The Drunkard"
