God’s New Answering Machine

Fell down on my knees

Prayed to god for an answer

Got his new answering machine

Left a message after the beep

Stood on my own two feet

Prayed to the devil for an answer

He was home watching TV

While an angel was giving him head

Gave me a solution to my problem

Slipped me a twenty

And a handful of pills

Liquor store open 24-7

A suicidal man’s heaven

Collapsed into bed

Horizontal desire limbo in my head

Performed a sin

Then swallowed the pills

Woke up this morning

With my head in the toilet

And my phone ringing

It was god calling me back

I let the answering machine take it
