Where every street corner bends, in everyone you meet
You can feel the triumph of defeat
Swirling pool of greasy skin, pathogens in heat
I concede these trying miles to someone’s less traveled feet
Diseased. Overwhelmed and in retreat
Please, xannies, won’t you break out all the big guns
Get me back up on my feet
Parasitic Shangri-la, bio-ravaged youth
Budding lies evolve into the truth
Life here was always like a disappointing fuck
Out of time, out of focus, out of money, out of luck
