alcoholic dog

he walks his dog on a parking lot
the air is rough and things are still
summer city through the mud

they're playing for no-one to see
a dead guitarist riffs away
the kids chip at the paint 
in the church’s outer wall
the cross looks down on them
they look down on the cross
and He looks down on us
and He looks down on me

but what could those eyes signify
when they’ve been here all my life
i feel no guilt for what He made me
gave us no prayer to redeem us
when the kids are saints, they're not kids

God sucks them off their sin
God sucked me off my poetry
i can see it now
maybe you can enjoy life
more if you don’t drink

earth is heaven for the sinner
and hell for the saint
a dog knows none of this
he drinks so he knows none of this
