Nick Zazove - Old Nick

Gun slinger at the front of a train
I've got a little bit of love
And a little bit of pain

You're love sicker, I can pick at your brain
For a finger and a glove
I can give you Novacane

You need liquor, saltwater, malt, lager
Just to pick up the stump
Shovel grub from a grave
I'm on a steady cold diet
Every pulk, my bitch
The jig is up
You tried to kill me when I was silent
Back in 10th grade, I had a career
I peddled effigy per locker and I clad your veneer
So when you saw me walking down the hall: check, he's a success, story
Bloody fists or clots, you couldn't guess, he will invest for me

I'm another test you couldn't pass
The stick-up 'fore this crash, the gate flooder, Storm-rider, chain runner
On the dash, fake fucker ya wouldn't last without a
Nick Casper taking all your cash, and slain identities.
You see

I'm not here. You'll never know the real me
I'm not there. You'll never see me bluffing
I'm not here. I am the second coming
I'll die here

I tread on Cupid like a clique
The stomps on American Heads, triple the bid
My aim is catatonia, I collect every penny, then emanate collective thrift
An impotent ghost, invisible kiss. Tracks adjacent
Toe-eater, abdication of my skin tag erasement
So you know

I'm not here, everyone else can see my fear
I'm not here

The punchbag stitched up to my lip
A glove to my carry-on badge, picks up a Fritz
My aim is at the maestro, I go where the tightrope is
Marionette. The suffix indicating railings connect
No chase. I'm on the tide- No chase
I feel my nine. -No chase. I swig my brine -No chase. The feeling dies
No face to see me cry, no shame to speak aside
Just a crazy man sticking up a train and feeling high

Looking left
Looking right
Flames abreast
Demons smile
Who am I?
Who is Nick?
Who's the victim
Of the future's split?
Take me out
Feel my pain
Make me cry
Say my name
Who's insane?
Who's to blame?
Open veins
Let it stain

Two-steps
Breathe deep
One hand
Shoot free
You crack
You bleed
I am the life, you needed!
I am the life, you needed baby
I am the life you needed!
I am the life you needed baby

Why even try?
Just say goodbye
Why make a fuss?
Just fade to dust
Why be alive?
I'll just stay inside
My own abode

(I own a boat)
