Leopard Spots and Whiskey Shots
Whiskey breath and misanthropy;
Hope died with your fashion sense
Somewhere in the 80’s. “Punk isn’t
Dead; but it might as well be. That
way it could have some relation to me.”
Acid wash and bleach blonde bombshell
Leopard print top and ready to raise hell;
Candy apple lipstick, who wears that so well?
There is enough steel in your flesh to attract lightning
And baby you did. The storm has come and went
But you remain, a Tesla coil of raw appeal. You
are a nihilist. I used to believe in nothing too.
Hey, maybe some of what Nietzsche said is true.
