Sherman And Sepulveda
Sherman and Sepulveda meet just north of here
Sherman said "War is hell"
Sepulveda probably said something even cooler
but it was in Spanish so I don't know
I don't know how I got here
Where the smoke rises up
from my Full Flavor Best Buy cigarette
like a tiny funeral pyre
Where Venetian blind deaf and dumb shafts of light
illuminate filigrees of curly blue smoke
I don't know how I got here
But these four walls feel good
A womb with a view
of the sun going down
I can see her walking
through the shadows of my dreams
She's a little distant
But she's closer than it seems
I can see them sitting
in a circle on the floor
I can hear them laughing
They're not laughing anymore
As the sun goes down
the roaches come out
Too many to kill or even count
The walls look like an aerial view of some great battle
The roaches on the south wall
fortified by the remnants of a Burrito Supreme
form a phalanx
and advance menacingly
on the roaches of the east wall
Just then the strawberry two doors down
gives her performance and her customer
a stunning climax
with just the right blend of
Fuck me
Please don't kill me
Fuck me
Please don't kill me
Fuckmepleasedontkillme
No man don't kill her
I want to hear this routine with the next guy
Gets me off every time
The voice that launched a thousand ships
has just launched mine
In the glowing darkness
I can always see her face
In the twisted wreckage
it's a little out of place
All the tall skyscrapers
fell and scraped away the sky
Twenty million voices
And no one to wonder why
The firefight is over
and the troops have all turned in
Sherman and Sepulveda consult their charts
While I try to devise a battle plan of my own
I don't know how I got here
