I THINK THAT IT WOULD PROBABLY BE AGAINST THE LAW IF I WAS TO POINT OUT THAT THIS TALE IS BEST ENJOYED WHILST UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF SOME KIND OF MIND-WARPING NARCOTIC…

THEREFORE, I WON’T.

The beginning:

Ten pints, lots of drugs and a bar-room fight-

was one hell of a way to start the night.

T’was two in the morning when my brain had fused.

My ribs were aching and face was bruised.

A far away home… No capital left;

the price of my stimulants: Daylight theft.

My mouth was bleeding; I had two teeth missing-

from a fight I had started with my relentless dissing.

No cash for a taxi. I’d have to walk;

couldn’t ring one anyway, it hurt to talk.

For hours I had wandered, my thoughts made of dread;

yet unclear to me was the journey ahead.

My feet were hurting, my mind had gone numb,

and my dealer I now owed a substantial sum.

Strange things all around me, I started to frown…

More drugs kicking in, I had to calm down.

So I go out my lighter to blaze a spliff,

but tripped as I did, and went over a cliff.

What this was to lead into, was not for the knowing;

I should have been watching where I was going.
