in the bad dreams of bums under the freeway overpass

In the bad dreams of bums living under the freeway overpass

Dwells the laughing gas of their previous lives

The humorous opium operas of unsatisfactory whore-wars

And the open sores of ether-filled balloons

In the bad dreams of bums under the freeway overpass

In the bad dreams of bums living under the freeway overpass

We often find them smiling up an inner storm and laughing for no reason

Passing the night under trucks without mufflers

With motorcycle madmen passing overhead like metallic overlords

Armored to the teeth with Germanic head gear
