Throwing Money and Liquor at Your Loneliness~ By Walker Thomas

Who do you use 
when the women are gone 
but your bed is cold 
and you wish that is wasn’t?

What do you do 
to pass the time 
when you’ve given out 
all your cigarettes?

When is it okay to knock
on a locked door 
when you desire a friend
or at least some of their wine? 

Where do you go 
when you run out of money 
and the strippers 
have run out of love?

Why do you laugh 
when God frowns upon you 
and you flip him off 
as you walk away?

We go on a quest 
each night a bouncer greets us at a door 
and we don’t plan
on needing an answer

A lucky few don’t, but most of us do
under the haze of smoke 
and shower of beer 
everything seems alright for a few hours 

There is no such lonesome,
there is no hurt,
and there is no feelings
besides the ones we hate in the morning.

But when the lights turn on 
and you drag yourself into the alley
where do you go? 
what do you do?
