Hey Jack Kerouac |
Hey Jack Kerouac, I think of your mother and the tears |
She cried, she cried for none other than her little boy lost in Our little world that hated and that dared to drag him down. |
Her |
Little boy courageous who chose his words from mouths of babes got |
Lost in the wood. |
Hip flask slining madman, steaming cafe flirts, |
They all spoke through you. |
Hey Jack, now for the tricky part, when you were the |
Brightest star who were the shadows? |
Of the San Francisco beat |
Boys you were the favorite. |
Now they sit and rattle their bones |
And think of their blood stoned days. |
You chose your words from |
Mouths of babes got lost in the wood. |
The hip flask slinging |
Madman, steaming cafe flirts, nights in Chinatown howling at Night. |
Allen baby, why so jaded? |
Have the boys all grown up and |
Their beauty faded? |
Billy, what a saint they’ve made you, just |
Like Mary down in Mexico on All Souls' Day. |
You chose your words from mouths of babes got lost in The wood. |
Cool junk booting madmen, street minded girls in Harlem |
Howling at night. |
What a tear stained shock of the world, you’ve |
Gone away without saying goodbye |
