These three weeks
Rationed to six francs a day
In a hotel room
Pre-pay and waste away
Poverty bleeds but poverty frees
Judas Iscariot can't betray me
Bugs crawl on the ceiling
Their patterns preordained
Might not eat tomorrow
But I figured out today

Half past one and the pleasure is gone
Half past one, file out the bar
Another night done
Half past one, stave away the itching thought
Half past one, a week's work for these past few hours
Crawl to bed, tumble down half dressed
Crawl to bed, roll over, hold my head
Crawl to bed, tumble down half dressed
Crawl to bed, slept for 10 hours
When the night began, we felt good about our place in a happy world
At half past one, squalid, dismal drunk
We know this world was never meant for us

The old man sits alone
Draws on cobble stones and sticks out his hat
– naked women, cops in trees
Skips church basement charity
Ragged, cold, and starving
Watch for meteors
His mind is free
Lives hand to mouth, half starved through the winter
Sleeps in the spike, waits for death in the workhouse
Ragged, cold, and starving
Watch for meteors
His mind is free
Fear of the mob
Fear of the slaves set free
Money equals virtue, so preach
