The three musketeers of the end of all things are coming to our town.
The fake sun is trembling and neon is shining through a worn-out frown.
Apathetic noon showers my neck with kisses it doesn’t really mean
And I can’t remember how I lost my lustful self and turned into a fiend.
The target on my back is turning redder each day, getting lighter by minute.
Once it gets as big as the Ritz, you’ll see how Fitzgerald is going to spin it.
I embrace the last days of this tightly sealed freedom with the force of a madman.
Not packing much for the departure as you can never be ready for badlands.
Scoria and erosion reaching for my pound of flesh, is resisting even an option?
I’m dreaming about running but doom might be the answer for this corruption.
“No, don’t listen,” I hear someone whimpering right beneath my bleeding helix.
The three musketeers are approaching in distance and I sigh.
“Let’s give this place another shot but not lend it any credence.”
