DOWN AND DIRTY

Feeling dirty
Feeling weird
Never thought
I’d end up here.

Got that icky
Slimy feel
Like I need
A body peel.

Something creepy
Something strange
Could be the crud
Could be the mange.

Down and Dirty
In the mud
Not the way
I thought it was.

The smoking, toking
Getting high
The trickery
The bold faced lies.

Giving all
I got to give
But, in my back
I feel the shiv.

Nothing sacred
No holes barred
This has gotten
Way too hard.

Friends won’t
Take you for a ride
Steal your joy
Or take your pride.

Giving up
Or giving in
This dirty dance
Has got to end.
