Pick Up Finale
My Dad was born in Doornfontein
My Mom’s from Krugersdorp
I’m a wanderer
I float across this sorrowful world
Looking for the truth
Looking for nipples to rest my tongue on
You look like the kind of cherry I can talk to
May I buy you another double?
I’m a gypsy, I’ve got a caravan outside
Would you like to go for a drive-by?
I saw you from across the bar
There was something special
You’re not like all the rest here.
I’ve been divorced,
I’ve been born-again
What are you doing tomorrow night?
I’ve got two tickets for the resurrection.
I’ve heard of a fate
that’s worse than death
I’d like to try it but not alone
Hold my hand I’m the Headless man
Wherever I lay my hat,
that’s my hat.
You danced for a while on the edge of my dreams
You danced for one night on tip toe
You took your bra off
Your sandals too
I was infatuated by the colour of your toenails
and the bright metallic texture of your cervical piercings.
I see these days you’re married to a monster
Which begs the questions,
How much tom’s he got?
And,
Is it worth it?
Is it ever worth it?
A girl walks in
Selling roses for the blind
Somebody screams “Fuck the blind!
Fuck the deaf too!
They’re all hard of hearing!”
You’re a sensitive girl,
I can see that
Let’s go to my caravan,
I’ll massage your back
I’ve got ten new songs by Rodriguez
A bottle of tequila,
a gram of khat
We’ll mix them up
I’ll teach you everything you need to know
About older men
This information can not be found on the internet
You’re a delicate girl, I can see it in your eyes
We don’t have to have sex
But if we do
I’ll still respect you
