K-Pop for Winos (Tom Waits Style)
Verse 1
There’s a bottle of plum wine cracked on the tracks,
Tin cup choir with a spine of brass tacks,
Dancing on splinters in a neon rain,
Singing boy-band hooks through a gravel refrain.
Chorus
K-Pop for winos, the hobos all croon,
Broken umbrellas and a cardboard tune,
Shake down the boxcar, rattle the show,
It’s a circus of sorrow where the cheap reds flow.
Verse 2
Cigarette halos in a sodium night,
Old shoes tap-dancing on the wrong side of right,
Boxcars whisper in a language of steel,
And the chorus comes broken, but it still feels real.
Chorus
K-Pop for winos, sing off-key,
A cracked glass harmony in minor key,
Black lace confetti on the old freight line,
We’re drunk on the chorus and communion wine.
Bridge
Na-na-na-na, cough it up, cough it out,
La-la-la-la, that’s what the chorus is about,
Rusted tambourines and a bottle of rain,
Bang the beat on a trashcan, forget the refrain.
Final Chorus
K-Pop for winos, the lanterns are low,
Ghosts in the chorus and a Bordeaux glow,
We stumble in time, where the shadows all go,
With a boxcar rhythm and a heartache show.
Outro
It’s lipstick on glass,
It’s the end of the line,
K-Pop for winos,
Forever half-blind.
I think you will agree with me that the bottle with two necks is an interesting concept, as is the bottle fused with a tambourine.
