This is called "The Suicide."

00:00:01.820 --> 00:00:05.310 align:middle line:84%
And aptly enough,
it was written just

00:00:05.310 --> 00:00:07.470 align:middle line:84%
before Berryman
committed suicide,

00:00:07.470 --> 00:00:12.030 align:middle line:84%
so it's sort of
my tribute to him.

00:00:12.030 --> 00:00:14.880 align:middle line:84%
We also held a wake, this
friend and I, for him.

00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:16.740 align:middle line:84%
We went out and
got drunk one night

00:00:16.740 --> 00:00:20.520 align:middle line:84%
and I stole the glass
of vodka from the Shanty

00:00:20.520 --> 00:00:25.477 align:middle line:84%
and we left it in this
alley for his spirit.

00:00:25.477 --> 00:00:26.060 align:middle line:90%
"The Suicide."

00:00:26.060 --> 00:00:30.870 align:middle line:90%


00:00:30.870 --> 00:00:34.230 align:middle line:84%
The street coughs blood
in a linen handkerchief

00:00:34.230 --> 00:00:37.020 align:middle line:84%
as I strut down
to the river where

00:00:37.020 --> 00:00:39.570 align:middle line:84%
the oil ships,
black bars of soap,

00:00:39.570 --> 00:00:42.540 align:middle line:90%
float upright on steel spines.

00:00:42.540 --> 00:00:47.670 align:middle line:84%
The wharf, suicide's pimp, has
a tight, deep vagina of water.

00:00:47.670 --> 00:00:50.640 align:middle line:84%
And I'm going to fuck
it until it novas just

00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:53.790 align:middle line:84%
to let everybody see
how I cut through life

00:00:53.790 --> 00:00:57.970 align:middle line:84%
like a diamond in a sack
of glass with no regrets.

00:00:57.970 --> 00:01:02.570 align:middle line:84%
And a what's it to you to
shove crooked up your ass?
