N'woleans

Appears on a whim

Promised myself as a kid

Do what the soul wanted 

Not what the lowell did 

Fore the hourglass fills to the rim

Live it up before it descends 

Twenty seven is well on the bend

For heaven or hell, wherever and when

I didn't come here to begin, alas

To get lost in a wash of Shakespearean sin

  I can't!

Settle down on a cloud too content

I won't be!

Wound by the bowels of judgement 

Fore the last of my past reinvents

Itself 

Fore the demons retreat or repent

I will

Live for the lust you resent

Until

The thought of a shot to the head may contend

Still

By my own hand, how it lacks what it lends 

Instead of death, I promise myself

Again

Fore it all ends…

Take my withered old soul back down to New Orleans
