Half Chewed Aspirin and Nina
You idiot, you could of had a family.
You run through half-awake dreams,
Through the river garden of naked madness,
Your youth adds up to middle age
The total of one night stands
Year after year of your self-awakening in rumpled sheets;
The echo of empty beer bottles, half chewed aspirins; 
bitter unswallowed remnants behind your brown teeth
--wake up to what's her name?
You know they all have families now,
You checked online
The women who once loved you...but you used them, dumped them,
You idiot, you could of had a family
Taken the sons to baseball practice
Walked your daughter down the aisle
The one night stands are getting older and older,
they don't come to you so often
The echo of empty beer bottles 
There's no angel,
There's no angel
Just a sinnerman
