Snap Judgment

Johnny West
gets it from the news
watches day by day
he's hazy on them foreign names
but he loves to follow
play by play
he sees them all go down

they all go down

Johnny West
loved a girl
she was really sweet
she reminds him of this girl
lying torn-up
in the street
where she went down

she went down

there's a hole in his chest
fear and regret
it pulls him down

just pulls him down

Johnny drives all night
trying to fit the pieces
back together
but the lights along the road
are as random
as fireflies

when he sleeps
Johnny dreams
about all them bombs
those toys
of ours

he flies them through the door
they split the air like bees
and with this swarm
he'll force them to their
goddamn motherfucking knees

seven inches of penetration

imagine

what that

feels

like

Johnny West
has a scar
tries to recall but he's not sure
was it from a fall when he was four
why —

why is it still numb

Johnny drives all night
trying to fit the pieces
back together
but the lights along the road
are as random
as fireflies
