charles bukowski - shot of red-eye lyrics
i used to hold my social security card
up in the air
he told me
but i was so small
they couldn’t see it
all those big
guys around
you mean the place with the
big green screen?
i asked
yeah. well, anyhow, i finally got on
the other day
picking tomatoes, and jesus christ
i couldn’t get anywhere
it was too hot, too hot
and i couldn’t get anything in my sack
so i layed under the truck
in the shade and drank
wine. i didn’t make a
dime
have a drink, i said
sure, he said
2 big women came in and
i mean big
and they sat next to
us
shot of red-eye, one of them
said to the bartender
likewise, said the other
they pulled their dresses up
around their hips and
swung their legs
um, umm. i think i’m going mad, i told
my friend from the tomato fields
jesus, he said, jesus and mary, i can’t
believe what i see
it’s all
there, i said
you a fighter? the one next to me
asked
no, i said
what happened to your
face?
automobile accident on the san berdo
freeway. some drunk jumped the divider. i was
the drunk
how old are you, daddy?
old enough to slice the melon, i said
tapping my cigar ashes into my beer to give me
strength
can you buy a melon? she asked
have you ever been chased across the mojave and
raped?
no, she said
i pulled out my last 20 and with an old man’s
virile abandon ordered
4 drinks
both girls smiled and pulled their dresses
higher, if possible
who’s your friend? they asked
this is lord chesterfield, i told
them
pleased to meetcha, they
said
h-llo, b-tches, he answered
we walked through the 3rd. street tunnel
to a green hotel, the girls had a
key
there was one bed and we all got
in. i don’t know who got
who
the next morning my friend and i
were down at the farm labor market
on san pedro street
holding up and waving our social
security cards
they couldn’t see
his
i was the last one on the truck out. a big woman stood
up against me. she smelled like
port wine
honey, she asked, whatever happened to your
face?
fair grounds. a dancing bear who
didn’t
bullsh-t, she said
maybe so, i said, but get your hand out
from around my
b-lls, everybody’s looking
when we got to the
fields the sun was
really up
and the world
looked
terrible
