Out in California
mainline and coke and hash were supposed to be
hamburgers and French fries and strawberry shakes.
Flash!
Pull into a gas station and lure the old guy out.
Out in California
cut your finger.
Strike fast, kachoom! -- Cover it up.
Men wearing bill caps with calloused hands:
What were they doing?
They were supposed to be together.
You had to feel sorry for them out in California.
