Dey All Ho’in Now

Dey all ho’in now

Little Juana and Talana

Ella and Fulana

Dey all ho’in now

Laid out on the grass

2:00 on a Friday afternoon.

Mercy Center sign mocks you

As you slowly fade away and die

If you’re lucky

Was it a needle or the drink

Lysterine the Bloomington Avenue dream

Laid out on Lake like a dead crow

Did you ever graduate? We all thought you’d do fine

If you’d been lucky

Little Shantil and Shalimar

Dey all ho’in now

Getting a few bucks for them kids

A bag of chips and some soda pop, a good meal

If you’re lucky

Dey all ho’in now
