Late-night vignettes from the stoplight jungle. Enjoy!

verse i went down to the corner with a dollar two-eighty,
an hour to kill, yeah i was itchin’ to jump
gave it all to a fine young lady
with ink on her eyelids
and a world-class rump

chorus don’t ask me where i been, don’t ask me how i know, ain’t no message in the bottle, and a twenty-dollar high, is just about the same wherever you go

v2 if you go downtown,
you better watch your back,
‘cause they can take you down quicker than a heart attack,
pretty girls in the alley,
and they’re hard as nails,
in the stoplight jungle,
everything is for sale

v3 there was a confrontation, friday night,
two boys from Macon said,
they wanted to fight,
but they saw the wisdom,
and it worked out fine,
when i introduced ‘em,
to the two-pound nine.
