I thank God for relentless thirst
Corn liquor can't speak unless you drink it first
I toasted him before the set
Shouldn't fly a plane drunk on anisette
He counceled through the bourbon haze
Never use a cruelty when a joke will do in it's place
I always drink before the race
It's a savage world not afraid to show a savage face
In a world of swarming flies
Not an angel or an athlete could live so high
To clip the pylon's edge
It's a rookie mistake
It'll be on the rookie's head
The crowd's a rapacious beast
You can feel its hunger before every feast
Thanks for advice my sodden friend
I'll look deep inside to see if I belong with the men

Not one of you
A tarnished angel

On the night I said goodbye
It was for effect
I dried my eyes.

~Silkworm, "Tarnished Angel" 1996

Thanks for bringing this to mind, Stace.
