Last Night

The dreariness of an addicts world.

In the street near the docks
She stands
Every night, same place
Beneath the amber neon glow
Of the solitary light
Tonight is cruel
It's teeming down
Cold unsympathetic rain
No umbrella, nor coat
Her wares of flesh
For all to see

She shivers, her hand
Fiercely grips the straps
Of her shoulder bag
She sobs, in dread
To the stirrings
Deep within her groin
The sleeping beast
Has awoken
Be patient, ssshhh
Wont be long now

Can't be long
It must be fed
Sated, sedated
She is a slave to the beast
It bids, she obeys
Or retaliation
Will ensue
Hush, hu-sh
Hungry one
I promise
It will be soon

Car, punter
Blow-job, twenty
Mobile, dealer
Brown, alley
Spoon, lighter
Needle, plunger
Too strong, oh fuck!
Black tunnel, shining light
Nice, ni-ce
Sweet, sw-eet
