Dante's Blues No.7

Stephen Simmons

Oh there’s a house of pain In this bar again But I gotta gallon of pride To keep my humility shy I seek an end to strife To wash down a bitter life So I tried a shot of envy Now I think all things should belong to me Chorus: Oh where’s Texas Pete? When I need a drink Red hot and mean The strangest angel you’ve ever seen It started pissing me off How I always got caught So I mixed up some wrath with anger Dante was no stranger I sipped on a quart of sloth Fell behind and got lost A whole damn keg of carefree Tapped it with some sweet apathy Chorus Bartender was taking too long And he didn’t get my song So I started pouring my own drink And he slapped my hand for my greed Half-gallon jug on the top shelf Took it all for myself I chugged it till there was none For punishment I’m a glutton’ Chorus I saw her in the corner Somebody shoulda warned her Filled my glass with lust Best rush there ever was
