Charles Bukowski - What they want lyrics
[Charles Bukowski - What they want lyrics]
Vallejo writing about
Loneliness while starving to death
Van Gogh's ear rejected by a whore
Rimbaud running off to Africa
To look for gold and finding
An incurable case of syphilis
Beethoven gone deaf
Pound dragged through the streets in a cage
Chatterton taking rat poison
Hemingway's brains dropping into
The orange juice pascal cutting his wrists
In the bathtub artaud locked up with the mad
Dostoevsky stood up against a wall
Crane jumping into a boat propeller
Lorca shot in the road by Spanish troops
Berryman jumping off a bridge
Burroughs shooting his wife
Mailer knifing his -that's what they want:
A God damned show a lit billboard
In the middle of hell
That's what they want, That bunch of
Dull inarticulate
Safe dreary
Admirers of carnivals
Loneliness while starving to death
Van Gogh's ear rejected by a whore
Rimbaud running off to Africa
To look for gold and finding
An incurable case of syphilis
Beethoven gone deaf
Pound dragged through the streets in a cage
Chatterton taking rat poison
Hemingway's brains dropping into
The orange juice pascal cutting his wrists
In the bathtub artaud locked up with the mad
Dostoevsky stood up against a wall
Crane jumping into a boat propeller
Lorca shot in the road by Spanish troops
Berryman jumping off a bridge
Burroughs shooting his wife
Mailer knifing his -that's what they want:
A God damned show a lit billboard
In the middle of hell
That's what they want, That bunch of
Dull inarticulate
Safe dreary
Admirers of carnivals
