Superstar

will you stay?

despite what everybody’s certain to think

when the milk has got too sour to drink

will you let me pour another one?

oh, it seems

as though we’re running out of to rubbish to say

but we still talk about it every day

I used to think I was the only one

can we ride?

I seen your sister round the cenotaph

she’s in the market for a sociopath

I said ‘hi’, she said ‘don’t make me laugh’

she knows

Well, ain’t she

just a ray of fucking sunlight?

we pull our gloves on and we go out to fight

I bet she thinks about him every night

well, I would

shhhh

look at me

charismatic with the microphone

we keep our distance cause our kind tell their own

fingers blister because ‘cos I’m holding this

too tight

they call time

finish drinks and then we couple up

sharing fluids like we give a fuck

and I’m back just where I’m comfortable

alone
