Lucrative lovers

if i had a bill for all the lousy lovers i've had
i would thank you
it would have been lucrative for me
i would then have had to thank you for bringing me up this way
now i had to pay the undertaker
you left me nothing

She grinned at us
no teeth left
brown stumps
i kissed her

she was a tired woman
you just bought her beer
all night
and this old woman would take you home

if you could still stand
